When In The Alpha Quadrant...

So, I've been playing Star Trek Online.

Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up.

I'm not the only one, mind you. Over a million peeps were playing on Day One, so there's that. Plus, the game's been damned fun. I'm a Level 10 Lt. Cmdr. (which translates to a level 30 character in any other game), and I'm THIS close to getting my new ship.

That's right ladies, he's available.

Still, knowing what this does for my social aspirations the game is quite worth it. Py's playing quite a bit as well (though I passed him up in rank a LONG time ago) and I know some people working here in The OKC that are enjoying the hell out of the game too. One guy at work messaged me tonight to talk about the game, in fact.

So, are there issues with the game? Yeah, a couple. One of them was addressed recently, with some variation in the ships you face. When I went up against a Scimitar-class Romulan Warbird for the first time, I geeked out a bit.

The other issue I have is with the scripting of the game- not the storylines or the missions, but the actual written words used in the game. Some of them are a bit goofy, to be blunt. However, that's a minor quibble.

I'd also like to see some better weaponry on away missions in the early rounds. That'd be nice. Oh, and a little more variation in the space battles where you're grinding through patrols or defense missions.

Other than that, I'm happy as hell with the game. I've been playing about a month now, and it's been enjoyable as hell. I'm trying to get some other peeps to play, and when that happens it will be teh awesomeness bomb.

Well, as much as it can be anyways.

Out.
