Check back for next scheduled live chat.

Aprillian

New Borg implants? Or just a Klingon thing? Got the joined trill



Vrishna

An anamoly in the Sol system? It's not scan-able. I wonder what it is? Bouvi: It is the portal to the Captain's Table for lifetime members
Anamolies. Sometimes they are off map. Get to edge and can't go further. Sometimes they are in a structure and or solid object like a rock and are irecoverable.

Bouvi (bouvitrek@gmail.com)

My Borg Bridge officers have new implants. So does my Borg Captain. New look for him.



Tactical Captain now a Lt Commander.

Just did a fleet action with my LtC Tatical guy. Going all escort. My ship is decked out with cannons and you can tell a difference. I was more than 1000 points above anyone else in the fleet action. This guy rocks. And as you always say screenshot or it didn't happen. Screenshot in the shownotes.


News

Captain's Database is up - http://www.startrekonline.com/database/characters
Looked up some guy named Commander Githar. He is a human male tactical officer. He is Captain of the USS Valiant a Heavy Escort. The Captain's Log part contains mission history, promotions, bridge officer info and a little more. It is like using the wowarmory but not quite as much information.

Email #A from Phantom

Hi guys,
Just a quick note; Don't waste your money on buying Respecs on the C-Store as you get a free one with the patch, and you also get a free respec with each rank (Lt, LT Cmdr, Captain etc.). Bouvi Probably didn't notice this because he's primarily playing a max level character.

Email #B from Chris

Apparently I fat fingered my last email. I just wanted to say thank you for the trial code. I haven't had a chance to use it just yet since I'm in the middle of a move, but I should get a chance once things calm down by the end of the month.

Email #C from Jason

Just wanted to drop you all a line to say I really have enjoyed your podcast. I bought the Collector's Edition today and your podcast was one of the main reasons I decided to give it a try. I have spent weeks reading reviews and forum posts that were overly negative and critical, and it was refreshing to hear another side to how the game was going. I'm not the powerlevelling, end-game focused type player. I am an altaholic that really likes to take my time which each character. Based on what I've heard from your shows, I think I will enjoy this game.

I have been playing MMOs off and on for about six years, but I am not a WOW player (am I the only one?). I started in Star Wars Galaxies and played for about a year before the big NGE release that drove a lot of us away. I didn't pick up another MMO until I found Lord of the Rings Online about three years ago (lifetime member there). My wife and I are also playing Aion some, but I was looking for a MMO to play in the sci-fi genre. I tried EVE but it just didn't do it for me. I finally decided to give STO a shot.

I have managed to catch up on your podcast today while installing the DVD and patching the game- it has made the process much more enjoyable. :)

I'll check out your forums and after I get my bearings in game, I may check out your fleet too.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the podcast- I really hope you all keep it going.

Finally done patching......so it is time to trek.
