I do certainly disagree with Cryptic selling beta access. Its a clever marketing gimmick, but in terms of the community... now we have people talking disparagingly about people who bought stuff. Who "paid their way", as it were.
Now, as to why Cry…
Theres also the fact that Cryptic needs to make money and expansions are a great way to do this. They need something for the expansions, correct? Its not a single player game, its an MMO, that evolves. Give it time to evolve.
Now, as to playable …
Just wanted to point out, Rekhan did tell us there are mines. He told us he likes to "circle of death" bigger, slower ships with plasma mines. Apparently he also cackles after doing that.
I'm working on a basic ship tactics treatise, outlining the basics of each role, and their interactions with each other. It should be done in a little bit.
Like I said, stop accusing people of being shills or GTFO. I would love it if I could be paid to do this. I need the money. But I am not.
You can either suspect everyone of wrongdoing and lying to you, or, you can grow up and stop being so parano…

No, you should …
Thats just the weight of the PR, not the game's focus. They just aren't talking about Klingons yet. Theres a lot of stuff to deal with, for example, the klingon attitudes towards other races makes acquiring new and amazing Bridge Officers a bit diff…

Here's the thing, people act shocked that Cryptic is trying to make money. Thats w…
Tisiphone, that is a very fair attitude. All we ask is if you don't like the game, don't try to scare off potential customers. Thats... pretty much it.
I can understand your desires though Tisiphone. There are some interesting positions, and we g…
Yeah, thats the thing. You can play with your friends... in ground missions. Just not for on the ship. Do you know why? Cryptic tried it, and couldn't find a way to make it fun for everyone. They did consider it, but they decided that it was more im…
Well, we discovered that this forum was quite woefully misinformed, and lacking lots of important information. So we've come to help, and make sure things look good here. I came here originally for the hype, but I'll probably stick around, help mak…
*snorts* Dax.9, you don't even have the correct history of Star Trek on TV.
Star Trek was canceled once, then brought back after a letter campaign. This ended up forcing the Nielsen ratings system to revise itself, to take into account audiences …
Pretty much yeah, ignore the PE stuff.
They had nothing in four years of effort except a lot of broken promises. Cryptic was unable to use anything PE had. No code, no engine, except for concept art.
Frankly, PE led everyone along, and screwed …
I hope you realize Dax.9, that Star Trek has always been about making money. It was canceled once because of low ratings. That should tell you more than enough what Star Trek has been: a product being sold. Exalting it for more than that is just sil…
Saying you are a trekkie is a common(but weak defense) against proper arguments over at sto.com. Heres the thing. What positions would say five of naysayers pick? I would bet on almost any amount of money, that at least two of you said Captain, if n…
Yeah, but there's some real issues. How do you satisfy(to a degree) the simmers, and the mmo-players? Cryptic has access to all the surveys Perpetual did, so they have an idea what players want and don't want.
Plus, how do you balance the benefits…
