Star Trek Online - Free to play

Will also be downloading the client this weekend. Hopefully it will come down in time for some play then.
Been looking forward to this game for a long time.
 
My router went haywire and dropped our connection and I can't resume the download from the wage ftp, so now I'm downloading it via the STO downloader. At least I can resume now if our connection gets dropped again...
 
So err... I'm assuming that "Perfect World " and "Cryptic" are the servers?

What servers are you guys playing on?

No ... it's related to which account you're using. If you created a new account, you'll log in with your Perfect World credentials, if you previously had a Star Trek Online account, you use the Cryptic option. There is only one server :)

Waco, if you run into this issue, here's a bit of a fix, but it's a pretty common problem.

When you load your launcher, at the top is the link to the options. Play around with the proxy settings. I'll find that one day I play perfectly without a proxy, next day I need to use EU, and some days I cycle through all 3 options and get back to the point I started and then it works fine again.

No idea why it does this - but it'll mean a couple of game client restarts.
 
So any good names for the mygaming fleet?

Edit: Fox I just found out one can't establish(you can join) Fleets unless you have played 20 hours on a newly created account.

Hey guys - I'll be online tomorrow night again - if I can catch you all online at the same time then we can make a plan to get a fleet started. I suppose I'll have to create it, I forgot about that silly limitation for free players.

Pick a name and let me know and we can get things set up that way :)

Well add me as a friend.

Must say I'm actually quite digging it.

Level 3 now.

How do you get that purple currency? I see you need it to buy most of the items and ships =/

Also, how do you research items? Got materials but I need research skill?

I'll add you when I log in tonight - fucking Eskom cut our power today and it's off until 4pm.

The purple currency is Dilithium - best way to get it is to do a daily exploration mission you can get from level 4 onwards. As you level up more missions become available, and later on you get crew for your ship that can also earn you minor amounts when you send them on assignments.

At lower levels I wouldn't worry about earning Dilithium too much - your first ship at level 10 you'll get for free, I think - so choose very carefully :D - and then you'll need to save up dilithium for later on.
