As Star Trek Online is around the corner, and we have been talking about having our own fleet I am considering adding a subforum for the game.
So here is a poll to see how many that are interested in participating in such subforum, and if people would prefer an open forum (readable without having to log in) or if it should be hidden and joinable (making it invisible to all members that are not interested).
If I can find additional funds in the budget, I will definitely start a subscription, and would love to team with ya'll, if you'd have me
I voted "yes, public", but that's hoping I'll have enough time to actually play the game, which is doubtful given my current schedule.
As for public, well, it depends what we would be talking about, but we already have different subfora on these boards about various aspects of Star Trek gaming, all of which may not be of interest to everyone, so why not another one ?
I am with C5 here. Maybe the game will attract some people that also used to play the PnP RPG games. This could mean some new blood for us here. So make it public I say :)Quote:

There are quite a few things to consider. But that the online game might help increase interest in Trek PnP gaming have crossed my mind :) Not only people who used to play PnP, but even people who never looked closer to it because of misconceptions of what it is.Quote:

it will for sure be possible to join then.
Well, I see no reason not to make it public, to garner increased membership.
If I don't pre-order I wont be able to get some of the nice pre-order add ons. By the way if I scrape up for it which add on does everyone think is the best one to get? Does the collectors edition have all of the add ons?
To my understanding, the pre-order bonus is a Borg bridge officer (and open beta access). But as I understand it, at least at amazon.co.uk, the cut of date to get the pre-order bonus is the 7th.
The collectors edition for the US seems to be much nicer than the one we can get. Including a in-game tactical advantage (short energy boost to all systems).
well, from what Wiki says, where you get it determines what bonuses you get.
Ah, I missed that the pre-order bonus differ depending on from where I order. Well, I guess that having one of those Swedish guys as bridge officer fits me quite well :p
Not having the Khaaaan emote is a bummer...
yah, but in the end that's mainly a styling thing, that doesn't impact in game abilities.Quote:

True about the styling, but with the pet Tribble, I hope they don't cause the problems that they do in the in game telling. Born pregnant, eating others out of house and home, getting into the electrical wiring.
I was thinking the auto defense would be nice, or the TR-116 ... or maybe the First Contact/DS9 unis or those proposed ones for Generations

All are nice. The auto defense will be useful in PvP, the rifle in PvE missions (unless they have added ground PvP as well) and the uniform is a nice styling (had to copy the link and paste it to the url bar for it to work).Quote:

If PvP is the main attraction I would go for something that is giving an edge there. When it comes to PvE, that small edge tend to never matter, so from that angle I would go with styling (well, depending on how the two first one looks, they might fit into styling as well).
But I guess my answer became a bit a non-answer :o
