Saw the trailer this morning. Honestly..I'm a bit surprised.
I'd get on board if all my items I've bought on PC also remained legacy unlocks on PS4.

That's a big move. Shocked it didn't happen sooner, like LoR sooner, but...yeah this ain't bad, and now my girlfriend will have a system on which she can play STO with me.

Hmm, wonder if this will improve the way the game plays with X-Box 360 controller on the PC. The game support for turning with the X-box stick is clunky on the controller (smooth turn execution comes only with wsad keys). Without keybinding multiple tray commands to single controller buttons (like the
spacebar keybind), good space combat is impossible on the X-box controller. If you have mastered keybinds (get
STO Keybind Application), then I highly recommend the X-box 360 controller for playing the game (I can give anyone interested my keybinds for it).
Those new graphic's look a little like Jarek's ReShade 2.0 (which I have been too lazy to try to figure out and install

).

I'm hoping with this there is an increase in the number of players for the game. We could then maybe expand our recruiting efforts and get some of that new (console) blood for the fleet!

Cryptic has been chasing this pretty much since before launch. I have no idea how this will, and don't bother pardoning the pun, Play Out.
Anyone know how common it is for Platforms to run games on PC servers? Is it even a thing? I really don't know, but I cannot imagine trying to play STO with just a game controller... Guess we'll see.

Most console developers have the option to add in keyboard support. I have not seen any current gen do this yet though.

I'm with Kuvak as far as numbers go. My question is...aren't games better on PC than consoles? I have the PS4 but haven't played it that much so just a question.
