Well, if you ever happen to find another during the open beta time... :P
Also, I've never heard of that comic. And I now wish to read it as it sounds like it would be rather funny.

Hmm, seems the eve forums edited out part of the URL, so I had to go to deviant art and look it up myself. And yes, the amount of nerd flowing from that game is quite large. XD
Edit: oh, and lmao @ that comic. (Also, I wish I could stop my browser from doing this annoying crap when I post here..)

Based on my time in the closed beta if you like trek style storys with mass effect like ground combat liberally sprinkled with star fleet command style space battles then this is the game for you. Its pure story driven pve except for the pvp battlegrounds were you queue up in like wow to go to an arena to fight in up to 64vs64 matches. Basically a normal mission will see you get a task from an npc which requires you to warp to the place in question then fight some space baddies.
Once those are defeated you can then do the mission that might be scanning a derelict ship from the inside with your bridge crew in tow or maybe landing on a planet for some exploration. Moar fighting occurs that is like an fps in that you have to kill stuff to get to where you need to go instead of wandering around the killing fields racking up 15/15 of something then you are done. Then back to the ship where another space baddie encounter awaits. Oh and in sto when the mission is done you just com the npc who gave it to you and its done with all rewards beamed to the ship from whereever you are in space. NO MOAR TRAVEL GRIND!! \o/
In a lot of ways its a msprpg but the grouping was done very well if you want some real humans to go on an away mission with you instead of your normal bridge crew. Crap I could write pages about all the neat stuff but when I was reading about eve's winning game of the year I stumbled upon this rather good writeup that is pretty close to how I would describe the experiences I had.
Part 1. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3866/Preview-Part-One.html
Part 2. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3868
Part 3. http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/352/feature/3877
Its not going to be an eve killer by anyones standards and to be quite honest I don't see alot of eve players even trying it out. But subs to all those other riskless carebear mmos out there are going to get a massive bleed off because the pve is just that fun if still a bit buggy and underdeveloped in a few areas. I'm sure all that will get sorted by release or not too long after if the massive improvements over just the last 3 patches are any indication.
To The Final Frontier!

....Ahahahaha. Oh, wow. Just, wow.
@Zeba: That sounds like something I'd enjoy. (As an avid lover of Bioware games, including Mass effect, Dragon Age Origins, and.. actually I think that's their only games that I've ever played. XD Sadly, I would love those games even more if they had limited co-op. 'specially Mass Effect. I prefer a deep, involving story line to almost anything else except for human interaction. If a game has both of those, I'll love it.)
Sadly, I can't afford a subscription fee. Hell, I'm only able to play EVE through buying PLEX cards off the market.

At present they are giving out codes to non-paying FP subscribers (because I certainly don't pay for my account at that site) the code however worked just fine and I'm downloading the client as I speak.
It's slow going though, an estimated 9 hours remaining. The client weighs in at around 6.6GB

Hmm, really? I guess I'll go need to make a FP account then. I swear I used to have one there, but none of my login usernames/passwords worked.

Originally by: STO motd Login Server Issues January 12, 2010 We are aware that some players may be experiencing difficulties logging into Star Trek Online, or experiencing crashes while creating a character. We are currently working on resolving this issue, and expect the issue to be resolved shortly.
Thank you,

Just out of interest, does anyone know how much the monthly subscription will cost for STO? Also, keep posting more info, as i'm tempted to buy it now.

Dunno why people keep comparing STO to EVE. STO is a game held up by the ST backstory, EVE is a concept held up by game mechanics. Different things.

lol at whoever thought this would hurt EVE in the slightest. It's city of heroes in space; the pvp will wither and die in 2 months and everyone will be stuck doing KHAAAN emotes in stations
My girlfriend looks interested in it, and I may wind up having to play it if she gets a comp that would run it _____________________ Horrors! Demons in the deep! |

Edited by: Kinuko on 13/01/2010 20:53:00 Edited by: Kinuko on 13/01/2010 20:51:04 STO is a big fail. It is more of a singleplayer game than a MMO, and a bad singleplayer game that is. I were expecting STO to be a good competitor of EVE which in turn would increase quality of both games but the truth is STO can't be even 1/10 of what EVE is. Now that open beta is started, I'm pretty sure that someone in CCP office is pretty happy about STO being a miserable game.

STO is a cheap rip-off of Cryptic's own superhero games. Same engine, virtually same gameplay. The shield gimmick doesn't even save the space part from playing almost exactly like any other MMO, let alone that the focus of STO lies so much on combat i'm sure that Roddenberry would be rolling over in his grave if he wasn't cremated.
In all seriousness, EVE is much, much more like Star Trek than STO is. It's not even funny anymore, but i guess that's because i'm a trekkie.

Tbh I think most new mmo's are going to struggle, STO might fare better because of the fan base, but what I've seen and read doesn't lead me to believe it will be anything other than average, what it does have in addition to the fan base is Bioware behind it and that might help it but I doubt it.

STO has nothing to do with Bioware. The game Bioware is working on is Star Wars: The Old Republic

A lot of my friends bought STO. They hounded me until I bought it too.
Our group intends to have us all become Klingons. They want to fly around and "gank" Federation ships.
I might be wrong, but I don't think the game works that way.
I told them we could already do stuff like that using our Eve accounts. They looked confused.
(I knew mining in Eve would lead to bad things...)
Anyone have a link to a good site that teaches Klingon?
Also what the hell is a Bat Leth? Sounds like some kind of Heath Ledger Batmobile crossover thing or something.
Is Batman a Klingon?

Actually if you are in the pvp zones it does work that way. Your group of organized birds of prey vs the carebear noobkirk blob who simply hit the pvp queue button and rolled the dice on a competant gang. Also the grouped pve is 110% zomg completely greifable though you might have to work at it to get a proper rise out of your instance mates. I haz already got a warning.. How you ask in a 100% pve setting? Welp there are quite a few ways but the easiest so far is to simply keep pausing the instance until they start ragemisspelling words in the chat. Yes you heard it here first, you can pause any instance in sto regardless of if its just you alone or a group. Needless to say I already ran out of pve content though to be fair only two zones are open atm..
