Finally got some ship interiors on TRIBBLE. Here is J'Rodd's captains office on the raptor T'og.

TRIBBLE




I figured out what I was doing wrong with the holo emitter I think I was inadvertently double clicking the icon. So anyway I got it working and it is pretty cool.

TRIBBLE

I was playing on Tribble last night. To be more specific I was playing Dabo! It is quite addictive. I was playing to get enough gold pressed Latium to buy a holo emitter for my ship which was 40,000 GPL but I ended up winning 140,000 plus! So I did get the holo emitter to make my ship look like a Cardassian Galor class. But when I activate it I get a activation animation but the look of my ship doesn’t change. I am not sure if maybe Tribble did not patch fully or maybe they only works in PvP. I have been looking to see which is the case I can not find any info I may have to brave a post on the form.

STO THOUGHTS

I am not sure if this is part of the last patch or if I have inadvertently changed some thing with my ships configuration or it could just be that I was still doing LT missions and now moved into the LT commander rank missions, but I am finding them a little more difficult. For example the defeat 5 Starfleet squadrons where before I don’t think I even have my shield dented now when I hit the first there light cruisers they actually got my forward shield down! I am not complaining I actually like it I just have to change my tactics and look into upgrading my ships systems.

STO THOUGHTS

J’Rodd is half way to his promotion to commander. I have sort of been splitting my play time between Tribble (the test server) and regular server. Most of my time on Tribble is mostly checking out the ascetics. I do want to try some of the PvE stuff. I also did discover my tactical officers cannon ability on Tribble. I really want to check out the ship interiors but they are not up yet. Basically I try to get on Tribble and if I can’t then I sign into the regular server. But with my promotion coming up I think I may just skip the first step and just go straight into the regular server. I am thinking I may be able to get my K’T’inga by Wednesday. I do not get a lot of time to play I have two young children so I generally do not play until they are in bed. I play for an hour then I have to go to be my self as I get up at 5AM, I sometimes I can play for a half hour or so before I have to leave for work, then two days a week I go home and play for an hour before I have to pick up the kids from day care. So that is about 13.5 hours a week it seems like a lot until you break it down like that. Plus I am sure that there are people who put those kinds of hours into the game a day.

RAPTOR


Okay I have changed my Klingon ship to a Raptor. I like the look a little better but with the three forward weapons slots I could but to put in two heavy duty cannons and a quantum torpedo. Plus it has two tactical stations and one is a LT tactical station so I have one of my tactical LT’s with the high yield torpedo ability and he also has increase cannon volley ability the other has the ability to fire of a torpedo spread. It is working out quite well for me. I still want my K’T’inga and am hoping I should have it by the end of the week.

SHIP

I have kind of drifted into using my cruiser I played around a bit with the weapons and consol’s and I like it the best but it is ugly as stink. It would not look too bad if you took off the fin like things that stick out on the bottom. I just can not wait to get my K’T’INGA being a little old school I want to fly one of those more then the newer ones.

STO THOUGHTS

One thing I kind of like is when the talk about say season 2 coming out and they say something like “this will make the Klingons happy” and I think hay I am a Klingon and that does make me happy. But I also think it is funny and kind of cool how they refer to the Klingon players as the Klingons, like they are actually Klingons. I have already set J’Rodd has my main character and I think it is so cool that from now on I will almost exclusively play as Klingon. Man I typed Klingon a lot this post…..KLINGON!



DF

STO THOUGHTS

I kind of avoid the forums unless I am looking for info on something specific, But I don’t porous them and I certainly do not post there. There is way too much hating going on there same with the Facebook page. It seems to me that the Star Trek fans are happy be the hard core gamers are not. I would just like to go on record and say I am a fairly hard core Trek fan and I am hard core gamer but I am fairly new to MMO’s although I have played a few, and I love the game. I think it is great and getting better all the time.

STO GAME PLAY

Still playing and still liking it a lot. I am playing as a Klingon right now both Characters are Lt Commander Lv3. I am playing as my J’Rodd my Klingon character I really want to level up to get my K’tinga I just hope it is as cool as it looks. I am not really crazy about my currant Klingon ships I am still playing around with the crew placements and different weapons and consul configurations. It is funny how it seems that the ship that seems works the best for me is the one that is the least astatically pleasing to me. And that go’s the same for my Star Fleet character too.
