I just don't understand what is so hard about creating a good 4X MMO.

They'd never make a 4X Star Trek MMO. And I really doubt anyone is going to make any kind of 4X MMO anytime soon. It's just to much of a niche genre to do an MMO if you ask me.

So I have been playing the game and like it A LOT! However after reading the STO forums I found people are using autohotkey to make autofire macros for both ground and space combat. Does anyone know how to script one? But when I use it I cannot use modifiers to do other key presses like ctrl+1

here is the script:

;----------------------------------------

kalat=0

F12::

kalat=0

Loop

{

if kalat

break

Send {Space}

Sleep 200

}

F11::

{

kalat=1

}

;----------------------------------------

MMO's never have demos. At least not until months later with a free trial.

Never mind, apparently the CE comes with 3, 10 day trial keys.

And I meant trial not demo.

EDIT: Someone gave me a Del Taco code for a 2-day free trial. Woop woop.

If I understand you, I think you can do that already. I found out by mistake. From memory, if you hold alt and (I think) right click on the weapons you want to fire, they then have a green outline and will autofire. I think you can only have 2 selected. At least, I can only have 2. So forward and aft phasers and torpedoes manual. Doesn't seem to work on ground missions though.

correction, one forward and one aft weapon can be set to autofire ;)

and the game reminded me what's so awesome about MMORPG's. After I joined a "mature" as they claimed, fleet in beta. I was kicked out the other day because I wasn't using TS, so the guy booted me, the set me on ignore. Way to be mature adults :rolleyes:

I miss the guild I was in in Vanguard, actual grown ups.

i have trials if somebody needs 1, but honestly, imo not worth it atm. mabe in a month or 2 when they finaly decide to finish the game, as it is now it is so incomplete and buggy its not funny. and its almost a month old.

more and more it seems more like a game that they just shipped to get the Box sales and thats it.

Cancelled my subscription. I feel sorry for people who paid for a lifetime subscription. It's so boring.

The mission writing is laughable, the ground missions are a joke. Seriously, beaming down to scan 4/5 rocks which are scattered all over and oddly have a group of enemies just standing by them. With NO explanation for why they are people standing by a rock. Not to mention your crew, which if they aren't rolling around the floor, end up getting "caught" on the scenery.

The space battles are fun, but only for a short time. I could barely play for more than an hour before I got bored.

I fear that this has so little to offer people that no amount of patches will fix it. Bugs aside, the content is severely lacking.

While I enjoy the the the space battles and such, the ground combat is so damn comical. The AI is damn buggy and quite a bit of the time, one or two will get caught by something and walk in circles. That's ridiculous. And ground combat take WAY too long.They really need to clean up that... then the game will be MUCH better. I'll still subscribe to it since I got bored with warcraft and dropped that.

So, looks like Atari/Cryptic have decided to play nasty concerning the game now. The have pulled the 60 extra days time link off their main page, and are now claiming it was never being offered. They have started deleting threads in the forums, including the 300+ page one about this very issue. People who also had lifetime subscriptions, were told that they could cancel them during the 30 day grace period of their free month, are now being told they aren't allowed to. What a bunch of scumbags. Last time I buy anything from these guys.

Why did it turn out like this? Christ... I guess I'm back on EVE till this game stops being an epic disappointment.

"Khitomer Accord will explain why the borg were so weak in the tutorial (also created by Cryptic_Gozer) and hidden in the Khitomer Accord mission (not an objective) will be a way to obtain a borg bridge officer (with robotic uniform and not an engineer)."

W00t an addtional Borg Boff! Whilst I've the amazon pre-order I look forward to the non-engie variant =]

So how many of you guys are still playing? I haven't bought it yet due to be intense hatred of MMO games; however, I figured I'd give it a try since it's Star Trek. The demo gave me that opportunity.

You can check it out here: http://startrekonline.com/demo

It comes in at a whopping 8+ GB.
