    I'd want to be a Gorn and raise hell as a space pirate. That would be so cool. Is the setting of the game around TNG/DS9 time? I'm going by the uniforms here, they look like the ones that were on DS9 at first. Screw that! I want it to be during the second to sixth movies! And have cheesy special effects aliens, planets that are exactly like Earth in every singe way except one little difference, aliens that are just communist metaphors, and women in skimpy starfleet uniforms! Actually, forget the movies era, original series the MMORPG would rule!

    It will start with the year 2409, a good 40 years after the events of TNG.

    The Federation Klingon alliance has broken down, the Cardassians are still rebuilding after their planet was leveled by the Dominion and have applied for Federation protection. The Klingon's and Gorn are close to all out war. The Romulans are still in disarray after the Hobus Supernova destroys the home planet (yes the events of STXI have impacted the game universe).

    Gorn ships are available to Klingon players too.

    So they went back to the DS9 uniforms? I always liked the uniforms from movies 2-6 best, since they, you know, actually look like uniforms.
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    They went back to having coloured shoulder stripes, rather than a collar so it's easier to identify the person you're looking at and what area of Starfleet they're in from a distance.

    While the 2-6 movie era uniforms are indeed awesome, I place them second behind the late DS9-era uniforms.

    I'll still give it a go regardless
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    Let us know how it is once you do. I probably won't check it out regardless as I don't care for MMO games in general.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Ill also be playing this, regardless of the silly costumes displaying publicly your rank and specialisation.. ;)

    The developers put up a list of every retailer (global, not just in the US) that will be releasing exlusive bonus items and what those items will be for each of them.

    [URL="http://www.startrekonline.com/retail"]Link[/URL]

    Not sure if that list is final yet, some of the sites they list don't actually have the details.

    [url=http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/105/1054867p1.html]Here[/url] is also what the limited and deluxe editions contain.

    To be honest, Amazon seems to have the best deal for me. :)
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    The Borg officer? I agree that seems like the most useful ingame item. I'm hoping we get the collector's edition over here but so far it doesn't look like it :/

    Worf
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Hahaha! I like how you term your borg officer as an [i]item[/i]! But yeah, its aesthetically pleasing as well..
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    I'll wait until closer to release to order, just incase something better comes along :)

    Same. I'd rather have the connie ship rather than any of the other items, but it doesnt look like the uk is getting that.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Anyone know if preordering gets you into the closed beta?
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    It only gets you into the open beta as far as I've seen.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Are servers worldwide, or will it be like WoW?
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    There will be just one server, like Eve Online.

    Worf
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Excellent. FO fleet anyone? :D
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    [QUOTE=WORF;185750]There will be just one server, like Eve Online.[/QUOTE]

    More like a server cluster. :D

    [QUOTE=Messiah;185754]Excellent. FO fleet anyone? :D[/QUOTE]
    Worf and I were talking about that the other week. I think a FO fleet is a definite, tho we need to work on a suitable name
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    And when they add fleet owned stations, we'll have to name ours Babylon 5 ;)

  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Im already thinking up names for my ship. [I]Galactica[/I] would be a strong contender, but I suspect that one will go [I]very[/I] quickly! ;)
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    The first Aardvark fleet?
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Llort Attack Squadron?
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    Pre Ordering gets you into the beta from Jan 26th and on, and allows you to play the live game 2 days before it goes "live" ( i already pre-ordered my two copies)\
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Im assuming you get to download a copy of the game once you preorder as I doubt they'll be shipping copies ahead of the release date

    What ingame items did you go for Entil'Zha?
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Army of Light would be the obvious choice. :)
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Yes, but its more of a fleet than an army no?
