Ah Kirk. Do you know the Klingon proverb...

Finally. Open Beta for Star Trek Online. I got to play a little bit last night, until about 25 million people got on and you couldnt do anything. But anyway, here are some pics...oh yeah, I couldnt figure out how to screen print, so these are from the camera

To Boldly Go

My first character, Leonid Vashnikov, a Russian engineer

My first ship - the USS Thomas Sumter, NCC 91984

The slightly modified Miranda class Thomas Sumter on the move. What this picture doesnt show is that the Sumter is being chased by 3 Orion pirate heavy battlecruisers. This had something to do with the 'grouping' where the system thought there were 4 other starships in my group, when really it was just me. Ouch. I ended up escaping. Not so lucky on some other occassions.

These are my bridge officers. I dont know much about how they work yet, other than my doctor, Chan, seems to be really good and saved my neck a couple times on the only away team mission I tried last night.

This is a picture of the 'sector' screen. Its how you warp from one system to another. This was REALLY laggy by the time I took this picture. You could fly from one system to another, but you couldnt actually enter any of them.

And finally, my favorite picture of all of them. We are one big happy fleet!
