I don't know what I was doing wrong. I even asked the Klingon to cover for me and he said he would, but he didn't...

Every time I sit down to play STO it tells me to download a patch, so I wander off to do something else while it downloads.

That's literally what happens every time I play STO- I can't get a game in.

The TrekBBS crew relaxing after blowing the crap out of the mirror universe armada lol

I've got into the habit of starting the patching as soon as I get home. Just minimize it and come back later.

I couldn't fit a cowbell in that tight little skirt.


Ahem.

I finally got a game in last night- I must say it has vastly improved since the last time I was on (six months ago, at least), I was very impressed!

What are Foundry missions and how do you access them?

[Methos]

The USS Valeyard off exploring strange new worlds... And yes, I could practically hear the Voyager theme in the background as i skimmed the planets rings lol

NICE.


Got one of those myself, recently - the U.S.S. Yamato (named both for the historical and anime ships of the same name, plus the Enterprise-D's ill-fated sister). Bit on the slow side for me, though - particularly when turning. Instead, I bought me this:






Introducing my new baby, the U.S.S. Ajax (NCC-95650). Fully MVAM-capable, armed to the teeth, and turns on a dime - and perfectly suited to making mincemeat of Borg flagships:






New baby made me proud!


Looks particularly good when using the Aegis shield effect along with 'Mask Energy Signature' - looks like something out of 'Tron: Legacy':






Also got a new Type-10 shuttle (the 'Grissom', which seemed appropriate for obvious reasons), my previous command, the Luna-class U.S.S. Apollo (a shout-out to Sean Tourangeau's 'Lunar-class' variant prototype), and the Galor-class U.S.S. Tora Ziyal:







Honestly can't get over how much better STO is since I last played - simply from a visual standpoint, not even taking into account things like the DOFF system. From the revised Bajor/DS9 space maps, to the beautiful new Bajor ground/Defiant interior zones, it's all just so... ...Trekky, in the best possible way.


More piccies later - I've got some mission replays that need attending to. This game doesn't play itself, after all!

Very nice...

i'll admit to being tempted by the Aegis set myself... if it wasn't for the utterly crap shield strength of the Aegis set, i'd go for it...

check the spec...

Aegis Covariant Shield Array

+4.9 Starship Shield Performance
+4.9 Starship Shield System
6,930 Maximum Shield Capacity
(10% Bleedthrough)
131 Shield Regeneration every 6 seconds
Value: 100,000

that's just painful...



I'd rather have nearly double shield strength and better regeneration personally lol
