oh oh, guy in a red shirt in one of those screens. I bet he lives :P
Don't get me wrong, I am as much of a Star Trek fanboi as anyone could be, but come on Cripitc, I want to see in-game footage of people actually playing.
these screenshots are nice, but they all seam too cinamatic to be taken seriously.
show me some interface action, someone transfering power to the shields, etc.
Sorry pal, this game is "less Spocky and more Rocky."

For the love of God. In every Star Trek show they transfer warp power to the shields to get their collective butts out of a jam. for once in a g'damn star trek game I want to be able to do the same.
from what it sounds like that mite be an option. Some of the articles I have read about ship crew makes it sound like there will be tactical options to choose while in ship combat. and as the famous saying goes...only time will tell.
The space shots look really nice but the ground combat looks awful. Wish they could remove that part from the game. Star Trek is known for it being a sci-fi in SPACE, not on planets (altough that happened as well).

You mean it is less Star Trek and more Rocky?
Oh yeah, makes great sense for a game called STAR TREK Online.

From what I've read about this game my interest only grows more.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
I wonder if you are able to avoid going on planets all together and just stay in space/use space stations the whole time.
They mentioned in one of their articles you will have to prioritize power on your ship. Although you would have to look it up to be sure. I am simply too lazy, but they keep practically every article on their website.
I hope they make this hardcore enough to attract me Elite attention.

Go to STO site it's all there.
You can transfer shields, it's been said already. For example if your front shields are weakening you can transfer power from the other three shield areas of your ship. Those being Port, Starboard, and Aft (Stern?) shields.

Same here. The Genre is getting overloaded with to many fantasy games and not enough alternatives. Don't get me wrong I love my fantasy,but I also love my sci-fi. I just hope they don't overly hype it.
That is not the same thing as transfering power from your weapons/engine/whatever to your shields and vice versa.

Found this video of spacecombat on youtube from pax 09 www.youtube.com/watch. Not sure if I like the interface, flying around in a mini-enterprise seems a bit weird.
Oh my god, I was always a fan and grew up with TNG and still haven't watched the new movie after hearing all about it.
But this is the biggest laugh I've had in a VERY long time, I just cannot describe my shock.....how can you even put this out in the public????
Come On people, please I am hoping you don't support utter crap like this, hell even 90% of the free stuff is better than what I see there!!!!
Thanks Nafthar,
That was very informitive of game play. Thats pretty standard of how flight looks in space MMO's such as SWG and others. Like many here, I still want to walk around my ship and meet my crew. I hope the ground game is good by the time of release.
Cool screenshots! More planet / landing party screenshots would be nice.
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH defeats borg with special plungers that penetrate all shielding)
All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care.
Playing: ESO, WOT, Smite, and Marvel Heroes
Still waiting for something to make me think this isn't a pretty sci-fi version of Pirates of The Burning Sea.
imo you cant even begin to compare the 2 >.0

From what's been released the ship to ship combat seems similar, PoTBS also touted that you'd be able to go ashore and swash buckle it up but in their rush to release they forgot to polish. In the end the product suffered because the developer had tried to juggle too many play mechanics instead of focusing and fine tuning one of them. The result was a product that demanded subscription to repair the mistakes made on the design table, lay offs ensued and now the game is barely hanging on. I see too many similarities and I wonder if you're just too caught up in the idea to take a step back and look at what could potentially disastrous.
Another reason to be afraid is that Cryptic is still very tight lipped about game play, interface and basic mechanics, yet their marketing department is still tossing out screen shots like they're dealing cards. They're generating hype but then they're not responding to customer concerns which is going to generate negative word of mouth which is something you really don't want on the Internet.

You can do that also. As the poster you quoted tried to tell you... Go to the STO site it's all there.
As for the screen shots it seems to be shaping up nicely. Hope they move to the closed beta cycle soon.

Nice screens!
This game even makes the Galaxy Class look good, and I generally hate the design of that ship with a passion...
The cinematic screenshots are nice but how about the gameplay? How could people get interested if all we can see are screenshots of some storyline in the game.

There is a video clearly showing you can do exactly this, with a Cryptic presenter talking about how. JYCowboy is just trying to turn you off to the game.
