Yeah, I can't wait either! I have no idea how the game is going to work. All I've seen is what is posted on the website, and I read some things that others have posted from closed beta. Which, they weren't supposed to post!
I'm curious how much different STO will be from EVE as far as combat and ship control is concerned. I couldn't seem to get interested in EVE, especially with the cut-throat economy system. But, I'm sure Cryptic took that in consideration and made it significantly different.
Are we getting involved with the Open Beta? It would be great to get in and get a feel of the mechanics before we start over live in February. I hope I have my new computer system by the time the Open Beta starts.
