F2P test for subscribers? wat

They have to playtest the F2P features, isn't that obvious?

**Tuskin** · 16th September 2011

Tribble Test Server is being completely wiped this monday (including characters and foundry missions) while they "prepare the server for use in the beta of an upcoming major game update"
F2P beta anyone?

Call me when they add the Enterprise-J to the game.

Enterprise*

I'm not a grammar Borg, but it a dishonorable to misspell the name of a legacy of great ships.

They're not going to. CBS forbid it. Its too far into the future. They were going to make a ship design that would look similar, an ancestor of the design, not sure what happened there, might have been CBS as well.

Ok so there are 2 test servers now.

"Redshirt" is what tribble used to be. (aka where everything goes before 'live'
"Tribble" Is the Beta Server.

You need another 10gb of space to use Redshirt, but it doesn't download that, it copies it over from your existing files.

You know, unless I just got super magical internet that can download 10gigs in 2 minutes.

So 2 months at most for the beta then release I guess.

**Tuskin** · 30th September 2011

I thought it was pretty decent in beta, but marred by the awful ground combat. I can't wait to try out the updated version.

**Tuskin** · 6th October 2011

I never minded the ground combat, so I can't really comment, but from the feed back I've read, its improved a lot.

**Thom12255** · 6th October 2011

I want to get back into those fleet actions, I'm more exicted for this game than I am for Skyrim!

I did two free trials, and I pretty much loved it. BTW whatever happened to multiple players in the same ship? Did that ever or it going to ever materialize?

-AJ- · 6th October 2011

I'm actually looking forward to this, been meaning to start playing again. Finally can start using my heavy cruiser again and finally get an exploration one.

Your friends can come aboard your ship but you can't really do anything but talk.

That was back when Perpetual was making it.

Does it work if you install the game from Steam?

It lets you download the client off the website so I have no idea, I doubt the code works with STEAM though.

**Tuskin** · 13th October 2011

I'm uploading videos of me doing the "Stranded in Space", one of the first missions you do after finishing the Tutorial. It is not the best video quality but it is in 720p

Mind you I'm at a max level and the mission scales with you, so it doesn't represent what a new player would encounter.

I'm going to say right now that I'm not a good player, heck I nearly die in the last part. Also I'm a clicker (someone who clicks the buttons instead of using the Keyboard shortcuts for those who don't know the MMO 'lingo')

Here is part 1 of 4, the other 3 are uploading

Mingebox · 13th October 2011

I thought the beta was pretty decent, I can't wait to see how this game's improved.

**DarkWolf2** · 13th October 2011

The one thing that worries me is that all VA (Final tier ships for max levels) are ALL C-store ships.

If I remember correctly you'd get a token for each tier at rank-up, other than that it's said there will be a exchange for C-points/tokens for dilithium, or it's already there I really don't know.
