Yes Sir, if I did not like ST, then I would not be here at all. I like STO so far, but I also think it still
has a long way to go...it does have some great potential if they keep working on STO, and I have
a lot of learning to do, and probably need lots of help along the way....

Yes, I guess a lot of us here too feels that too, but that seems to be the norm of MMOs oppoced to other games, they grow as times go by - we just have to hope that it grows fast enough for the masses so they don't jump off.

Well they did release early...I would not be surprised if alot of them jumped ship shortly after launch...I did not
sign up on day one on purpose...even as STO gets better, then those that did jump will most likely
return...if they want to keep an active user base, then they need to constantly working to improve
STO, or you will continue seeing people jump ship until they get to a point that it will be worth staying.

I got sort of by luck a open beta key and got to try the game before the release, without that I would most likely not have bought the game. I bought Anarchy Online another Sci-Fi MMO many years ago which absolutely was release prematurely. That was absolutely not usable, you got thrown out of the game every few minutes.

There was also bugs in the STO but I felt they was not any that kinda was making the game unplayable, so I took the chance and grabbed a lifetime subscription.

I am not even a STO guru yet, and I seem bugs right off the bat...and see them posted
daily in the forums...I do not think it will warrant me for a lifetime subscription just
yet...I want to sit back a bit and see if STO is really going to go anywhere...by
the time I do decide, it will probably be too late, and up goes the subscription fee

Exactly what do you do in the fleet thor? as I see you are assigned
Exploration Division, Alpha Squadron. What does that mean?

Does STO currently have multiplayer support? lets say Player vs Player
or is it all US against computer enemies...

I think you're gonna like our fleet a lot. You seem to be the kind of guy that would fit in well.

Just too bad I can't get more medics! Most people only seem interested in shooting others and then leaving it up to me and my team to stitch up the mess again.

I assumed that there would be a lot missing, and more to come - and that was one of the reasons I decided to go for the lifetime. That way I can stick with it through the not so fun periods, and not have the same feel about having to play "all the time" as I guess I would have had if I had a recurring bill come every month.



Well, as there isn't really much to explore in STO as it works today there isn't really something special "job" we do in the Exploration Division. The different divisions and squadrons are not really limiting you as to what you can do in game, but it is more of a way to make smaller units within the 12th community.



There is PvP opportunities in the game as of today, check the downarrow menu within the game, there you will find PvP queues. It is Ground and Space PvPs upto 20 vs. 20 players.
