I doubt many people want to get into it. (It being one of the more Nerdy subjects around...Plus the main factor: Addiction to wow.)
I personally think It's worth a try at LEAST, It feels more..personal compared to EvE (If you want to compare Space Combat, Not insulting EVE though, It's good in It's own way.) since you control -everything- that happens (Shields, when your weapons fire (Unless you have them on Auto Fire) plus having Bridge Officers means you can personalize your build. Ground Combat is a 'lil annoying (As in, you need to click / use a button) to cast / shoot / whatever.
For the Record 1-6 = Federation, then you get the option to go Klingon (Melee weapon + Ranged at start, compared to just a Ranged on Federation.)
But if you want to TRY And make a Fleet for THN (And if anyone decided "Oh. I'll give it a go." then we have a place for them.) I'll be up for it.

We currently have 2 players, 3rd on the way, with a 4th who might resub when we get more people. Just need a 5th and we can make a fleet. :3
seriously suggest at least giving this a go, It's really good once you get past your starter ship.

Well, what I will do is play the demo I downloaded off Steam. I've never been a trekkie, actually haven't seen almost no Star Trek at all so I'll be a tough one to get hooked. Curious what will happen
IMO, you don't need to be a Trekkie to get easily hooked, It's just a good game overall IMO. So yeah, totally worth it.

Is it my graphics card going bonkers after not even one year, or is the game really demanding graphics-wise? On recommended settings it's all laggy and choppy, fairly unplayable. On low settings it's quite alright, but looks shit. I have GTS250 and never had any problems in any other games... Even Lagaran runs at 20-30fps.

I know a couple who said they were gunna try it out wanted to go Klingon, but I've just done some of their missions (up to L8 or so.) and most of them seem to be PVP related, and PVP queues seem to take about 10-15 mins to get into, So i think I'll be staying Federation (Since it's easier to level.) unless everyone decides to go Klingon.

I have to say the developers focussed about 90% on the Federation and 10% on Klingons with the thinking of "Hey, Klingons like to fight, so let's make them almost purely PVP!".
I only originally got interested in STO because of it having 4 factions, but with Romulans and Cardassians nowhere in sight I quickly lost interest.

It's worth trying, i mean, if you just went "I dont want to be PVPons or Federation." then never bothered to play, then you haven't seen much of the game, really.

Last I heard, they were in polling the playerbase on the next faction they want in the game (it was romulan by a long way IIRC), so you can probably expect to see them enter the game some time soon.

I'll defo try out the other Factions, but it depends on what people from THN want (Like if they wanna stay Federation, I'll stay with them, etc.).
Good thing though, you can whisper each other no matter what faction you are. (Since you all speak english.)
For those who wanna try it now: I'm gunna reroll (Since i don't have a tactical officer.) and take my time making a nice "Alien" Race, so feel free to poke me on TS if you wanna do the beginner missions (Trial.) together.

I did patch whatever patches the Loader threw at me, but when the button said Engage I engaged, so if there's anything special I was supposed to do I didn't. Frankly, I shouldn't have to.

I played properly for some of the beta and 1 month of free play i got when i pre-ordered the digital deluxe, got up to heavy cruiser with my fed engineer (he had 1 of each ship at each tier up to then, but mainly used heavy cruiser) and got up to 1 rank lower on my klingon Nausican toon.
The pvp was just very unenspiring - feds would just turtle tank and klingons would just play at u-boats.

Yeah. 1-30 PVP is quite uninspiring. But, It's the same on wow really. People are still learning the game at that level, not knowing how to do it too well. But I'm assured by the people in my Fleet that Captain onwards (30-55, basicly.) It gets much better.
