Star Trek Online pics

Well, ADD has taken over again, and steered me back to Star Trek Online.  They recently had a new release that allows you to play the Klingons and Romulans in a PvE role (previously, you could play the Klingons, but it was really fro PvP only for the most part).

Anyway, a few screenshots of my 'adventures' the past few weeks

Some more Star Trek Online screenshots

Still been playing Star Trek Online.  I am still finding the missions to be repetitive, however, the side items such as customizing your bridge crew, your ship, and your gear is better than any other MMO to date, in my opinion.

They have also implemented weekly 'episodes' that play out just like a TNG television episode.  They are really a lot of fun.

Anyway, a few screen shots from the last week or so:

From the mission 'The Tribble With Klingons' where you had to beam down to a planet where a Federation Science Officer was trying to create a Tribble homeworld.  Some Klingons had caught wind of this, and they were trying to stop the research.  It was pretty funny - you come up on Klingons going ape trying to kill as many tribbles as they could.  These are screen caps from inside the science lab...looks like things are starting to get out of hand.

A planet where you can see 'the dark side'  (the picture looks dark on my crap monitor here at work - hopefully looks ok)

The final Romulan/Reman episode
Admiral Threxis and Captain T'Chal

If you are familiar with Star Trek:Nemesis, the final confrontation was vs a ship that looked like the 'Scimitar' - couple pics of my ship, the USS Longbow, firing on the Scimitar

Just about to level up a rank, and get a new cruiser.

USS Longbow, NCC 92947

A few pics of my Exploration Cruiser from STO:

Captains Log - Stardate 24022011.7

Thanks a lot Corey - bastard.

Got back into ST Online for at least a month before Shogun Total War 2 comes out. 

Captain T'Chal (used to be green, now he is a Klingon lookalike) of the USS Longbow, sitting on the bridge.

More pics to come as I go where many other gamers have gone before.

A memorial at Romulus

And a quick look at T'Chal and the away team

The brothers return indeed...

Destroy the Iconian Gateway!

Cmdrs. Threxis, T'Chal, and the crews of the Kirkwood and Apache were faced with an Iconian Gateway that the Romulans had discovered.  The crew faced down the Romulans and destroyed the gateway.

The Apache and The Kirkwood fighting for the first time together

Apache and Kirkwood took to the galaxy last night, fighting a Romulan battle group. (Pics are kinda dark)

I took some more too, but they are even darker than these.  Guess we need to find a good nebula somewhere...

USS Rhodesia

I dont have any good pictures of my Lt Commander class ship, the USS Rhodesia, NCC 92477-A. Im about to move up to the Commander level, and will be getting a new ship, but for now, here are some pics of the Rhodesia...

Night three of STO

I didnt play a ton, but here is a quick, cool pic. A tribble pet as loot off of some Orion pirate!

Night two of ST Online

So, night two of ST Online for me.  This time, things were MUCH better than the first night.  Still a little laggy, still a little downtime, but otherwise, it worked a lot better.

I created a new character.  A Tactical Officer named Lek Okeje that I created.  Here is a pic of him with his away team.  And also a pic of the new starship, USS Miami, NCC 92741

And my last pic - The Miami took a helluva beating against 6 Klingon BOPs but came out on top. I was maybe two good torp hits from being done.

And finally, a picture of Captain Okeje on the bridge of the Miami.

If I get a chance tonight, Im going to play some more. I think Im gonna restart with an engineer again, or maybe a science officer. Im already leaning toward going with an engineer.

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!
