Astrotoy7 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The bridge is accessible from the menu beside your radar in the top right corner of the screen. If I remember correctly you can right click on the down arrow and "visit the bridge" is an option. Split attack or no, I'm definitely going to try stay in it long enough for a Prometheus class ship Love that ship, and love that episode from Voyager where they came across it I visited the bridge Nifty. Wish we could spend more game time there. The ships are at the heart and soul of the Series/movies. Hopefully they may incorporate some more ship based stuff in the future mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Once I'm home from University, I might give it a try, if noone's already named their ship the "Ha Bisky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love reading ship names as you scoot along the galaxy map or near spacedock. Mine is pretty dry, The USS Carthage, my next ship will have a similar historical theme. I haven't seen anything outrageous yet, but had a strong desire to see the USS George W Bush in flames It was inevitable of course, but I have already seen an 'Enterprize' (a TOS era ship) I'm not sure what the deal is with server locations and such, so US/UK users may not even appear for us here in Oz ?? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just a whole bunch of different instances for the various locations. So, you could be in the same place as someone (earth spacedock for example) and not be able to see them until you get in the same instance.

Jae Onasi Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I just made commander, and my character is a science officer. I decided to go with a science vessel this time instead of a cruiser or escort. If you've seen any of the tier 3 science vessels, you'll understand why I named this one 'FlyinMicrophone'. 'Flying Microphone' was 2 characters too long. Oh, Astro--if you go to the shipyards, there's a guy there who will let you customize your ship. You can do that 1 time without paying each time you get a new rank (and I think if you buy other ships, too). If you choose the advanced option, you can mix and match different things, change colors of the detailing, choose detailing patterns, and so forth. I'll be on later today after I get back from the dentist (have to have a root canal >.< ). @JediAthos and SWPhreak--if you guys want any tribbles, let me know. I breed a crap-ton of Mattson tribbles to sell on the Exchange, but I'll be happy to send just about any type you'd like. I can make some of the highest tier ones, but the food costs to make those are so sky high I don't have enough money to do those for free. Astro, I'd offer to send you some tribbles, too, but I can't trade you or send you anything while you're on a trial account--the game doesn't allow it. If you get a subscription, let me know and I'll send you some goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 cheers Jae - arent tribbles trouble though! Congrats on making commander!! I am currently Lieutenant 5 \o/ I just made my ship look like the original (Archer) Enterprise. Likey Ive seen a few people flying around with Prometheus class ships... jealous JediAthos]It's all on one big server I believe...similar to EVE Online.

I actually did search for you and Jae last time I was on - but no luck. I also didn't factor in time zones so both of you may have been in the land of nod my handle is @astrotoy7, players name is Isabel. before you ask.... Isabel is the name I give all my female RPG characters, though in fantasy RPGs she may get the more exotic Zabel Why Isabel... *Short for Isabella - named after *Favourite actress *Favourite female cat (my sister in laws British Blue, 'Aunty Isabel' to my Astro Jr) Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) MRAOW!! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAthos Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thanks for the tribble offer Jae. My first character (a tactical officer) hit Rear Admiral 5 last night so I'm hoping to get into an infected group tonight, but we'll see. I started a science alt too. Again: handle is @Jureth and my characters are Jureth and Alaura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Unfortunately, I can't breed you a borg tribble or a rivera, but I can make you another type if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hey, STOners, I'm sorta interesting in this game, and since I can't seem to find what officer type does in a gameplay sort of way, can someone just give me a short summary of what it means?

Jae Onasi Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hehe STOners. Science officers are your healers and buffers and do some crowd control. Engineering officers debuff, have skills to protect/repair the ship, and some ally protection (via shields and such). Tactical officers are the tanks, basically, having the skills that do damage to enemies on the ground and in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Season 3 is due out in 2 days. I've played some of it on the Tribble beta-test shard, and the new sector space looks FANTASTIC--just like space should. No more neon yellow-green disco-floors in Borg sector space, yay!! If you have not tried the Breen and Devidian episode series, you definitely want to. They are not only fun, but they also give out some cool rewards that you can't get any other place in game. If you're looking for a nice, fun, mature, stable fleet to game with, check out http://www.lotusfleet.com. The Academy is a lot of fun just on its own.

Primogen Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Oh, how I wish I had oodles of disposable income. I played the Free Trial. Made a character that looked like a cross between a Kel Dor and a Jem'hadar, as I recall. But I don't have the wallet to pay $15 a month, much less the staggering price of a lifetime sub.
