to boldly waste time like no man has wasted it before!

Wow, I thought this game was still about a year out from release. O_o

Number One, I order you to take a number two.

Because who wants a simultaneous global release of an MMO? What a silly idea.

People who liked Bridge Commander

Has anyone come across another game like it? I'm talking about a game where you control a crew on a ship, and the different stations, aka bridge commander/silent hunter.

This is not the first MMO to offer space and ground gameplay. Perhaps out of box this is unique. SWG had space gameplay and ground game play. Earth and Beyond had a type of ground gameplay (not combat, but it was gameplay nonetheless).

What is the expected flop date?

My biggest complaint with this game is that none of the new ship designs follow any of the architectural and aesthetic guidelines that have governed how the show's creative team and Starfleet construct their vessels.

It looks to me like Cryptic went out of their way to create as many new classes as possible, but this doesn't fit the lore at all. Starfleet worked on the Sovereign class ships (Enterprise NCC-1701-E and the USS Sovereign) for over a decade before finally starting construction of the pathfinder and it was the first new class they had introduced in years.

can i separate the sauce section?

my dad got accepted to the beta for this game. it looks pretty decent maxed out but overall the gameplay just looks repetitive.

Didn't the build they showed to the press a couple of weeks ago crash when people went to the inventory screen because "the inventory system hadn't been implemented yet?"

I'm hoping for the best, but my optimism is tempered.

An NDA is preventing me from saying how much I enjoy this.

I hope it won't have the same "zone" instance/population limits that Champions has. I don't know if that's a limitation of the engine, a game play consideration or because of the server farm configuration but I do know it sucks balls. It completely destroys the feeling of a server "community ", at least for me.

I was really looking forward to this game, and maybe they will surprise me, but Cryptic's recent MMOs have been rather shallow to say the least, and this seems really rushed. I wasn't expecting this game to be ready until end of 2010 at the absolute earliest. How can they just go into Beta and be ready to launch two and a half months from now? Hell, has beta even started yet?

<sigh>

When will publishers learn an MMOs launch makes or breaks it's success and future. You rush a product out the door and it will fail.

This seems highly rushed. Such a shame, I was looking forward to a good space MMO. Guess I'll just have to wait for The Old Republic.
