Lots of bugs, lag and disconnects. The few hours I played of closed beta this past week-end were head and shoulders better.
I like the gameplay though.

I'm enjoying it pretty well. Granted, there are a lot of bugs and stability problems to be worked out, but overall I'm not disappointed in the least.

Ignoring the problems that are obvious with a beta its a solid game thus far. The level of custimization is nice and will give some really interesting options for fleets and groups to distinguish themselves from one another, the space combat system is decent. I am personally not a huge fan of the SFC type combat and more into the old Bridge Commander free form. but still fun non the less!

So far the game is awesome, been playing it for a few hours now and i'm quite impressed with it. Only problems I can see with the game is that its to instanced and not really an mmo... more a star trek multiplayer and the content at higher levels will be intresting to see how much there is.
But only time will tell,
Good luck all with round two of Open Beta!

yea i want to see some hard things that take a solid group effort ive played 95% of the game by myself. As for it being instanced i dont mind, only thing I wish starbases were not instanced that would be great just to sit at the bar in the starbase with all the people there would be fun to do.
As for the stability issues name me a game in the first round of a near full scale open beta that hasent had stability issues nuff said

After waking up extra early this morning and getting 3/4 hour playtime in, the server was MUCH more responsive and fun. Especially as i got to the part in the tutorial that said "Hold both mouse buttons to aim and move" - SOOO much easier then what i was doing, lol
Its looking good to me

- Oh except my mission bugged and i cant progress

I played for a while when I woke up and I must say that login problems have been much improved.
I'm guessing that for a 1st day of open beta it wasn't that bad, even if I got disconnected a LOT. Things should normalize exponancially from now on.

The game is pretty cool. Some server issues aside, but hopefully they can fix that before the release.
Sometimes I see a text in game telling me to use the right mouse button, but I have to use the left mouse button. Not a big problem, just a little glitch.
