Anyone else getting this? Come join me and the USS Richard P. Astley!
-
err, I didn't even know it was coming out yet. Last I heard it was unannounced with little info other than a change in developers or something.
I don't really want to get my time all messed up in an MMO, but I definately was wanting to try it. I hope they have some kind of free trial.

I mean a trial after the game's release silly. I don't want to purchase the game just to try it just yet >=P. I WOULD have tried the beta if I had known about it, darrr.

[21:00] <UD-Work> I wonder what the on-ship computer voice sounds like.
[21:00] <UD-Work> Picard:
[21:00] <UD-Work> "Computer."
[21:00] <UD-Work> Computer:
[21:01] <UD-Work> "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP."

Okay, so I find that ST:O is really a good pick-up-and-play game thus far. In this early part it's all about killing Orion pirates, but they never go anywhere alone. Combat is a challenge of strategy - you gotta maneuver to keep your shots in the right shield quadrants, line up torpedo attacks, manage ship power, and use your specials as you need. It's a challenge - the GOOD kind of challenge - to take on an Orion battleship and a couple of corvettes with a Miranda-class (or equivalent movie/TOS class of light cruiser, which you can customize your TNG Miranda to look like). Moreover, when you end up in a system with a few other guys, fleet action makes a huge difference. I just wish there was easier ways to communicate, like a system-specific voice chat channel to coordinate attacks.
I can't wait to keep going, I definitely wanna go for the huge broadside-firin' ship of the line loadout. You can also go for escorts (Runabouts, Defiant-type ships, etc.) or science vessels (buffing, debuffing, forcible decloaking, unique damage) too.
Or just nuclear wessels.

HAHAHAHA, i lol'd far too hard at the USS richard astley.
Edit : I just realised... Its continuing mission...
...TO BOLDLY RICK ROLL WHERE NO ONE HAS RICK ROLLED BEFORE!

This venture receives the Fightest Seal of Approval. Actual Seal pending.

Hmm... can the ships designation have a circled 9 that absolutely no one but you in the entire game will ever understand? lol.
U.S.S Cirno NCC⑨- the strongest.
-
Unfortunately it only allows numbers starting in 9 and going to a certain total range. I forget what exactly, but I'm sad because it wouldn't let me do NCC-90210.
If it'll let me, I'd do an escort (basically a fighter-class ship) and name it the USS Cirno, NCC-99999.
