Heh - don't tell me, you've been bitten by the completist bug as well... ;)

It's getting pretty bad, actually - if I had the money, I'd be tempted to go for the Lifetime sub. I fear this may be getting out of hand!

This is why I'm glad I got the lifetime sub before launch when it was cheaper.
 
How long, on average, do these various patches/updates take to download, and how many have there been so far?

I'm kind of dreading having to wade through a backlog of the darn things when I get everything up and running - so much so, in fact, that I'm tempted to just get into the game, and then slowly update every so often, when I've got time. Call me impatient, but I'd rather get on with the game first, then bring it up to scratch later when the initial rose-tinted novelty starts to wear off...

The patching system they have is more 'intelligent' tthen most other MMOs. It scans your individual HOGG files (the game data files); and determines and downloads just the changes neede to get upi patched to the latest client version. The client inself totals about 10 GB in size; and the initial client install was about 7 GB, so that's about 3 GB worth of data added to date. But, you won't be downloading multiple patches to 'get current' it'll comile it's own manifest of just what needs to be patched and download the data.

If you want to see the release notes for the patch updates applied to date, here's a link to the official STO Release Notes Thread (which also shows the dates the patches were applied)
 
I heard about the free weekend trial coming up and I can reactivate my old beta account, thought it would be wiped ? or do they mean accounts in the main game that people stopped afterwards ?

either way It will be nice to see the changes made.

I was pleased with all of the changes. Particularity this one.

Almost a Captain. I suppose my Golfball should be traded up for an Intrepid variant?

when i made captain, i buoght a defiant, shields were too weak, then i bought a galxy, too slow,,,then i bought an Intrepid. ship kicks all forms of ass!

Basicallt the guys who made the Intrepid for STO paide attention to Voyager.

I've gone up against Jem'Hadar battleships and wasted them. They killed me in seconds aboard a Defiant.
 
So, I want to try out the ST:O free trial weekend...

but it is only for people who've actually already purchased the game previously?

You should be able to get in. If not I can invite you.

Thanks, but I honestly probably can't run it anyway.

That's what I thought when I tried it out, but to my surprise it worked. I don't have a high end graphics card, just the basic card that came with my computer. The graphics aren't as nice as the images shown in the Screenshots thread, but I can still play the game.
