Star Trek Online: Set Phasers to Fun - Part 07

I am so not an MMO player. I don't think I can watch anymore of these vids. The GB crew can only carry a video of a game I'm not interested in so far. X_x

They kinda made me lose interest in these after what they said on the podcast. I couldn't put my finger on what my problems were in this game, but they pretty much nailed it exactly with what they said on the podcast. This game should be following the Guild Wars model, and then it would be fine...
 
If you strip away the "Star Trek" part and just look at this game as an MMO. It's barely an MMO, and definitely not a quality one at that.

Where is hell is Dave?

"Karate stance, Hands like BLADES"
 
Sounds like a good title for a game

Banana pancakes, yum.

The Skills Trainer option is a quest. That has been bugging the crap out of me every time I see it. okay now to finish the video.

" De took r jerbs!!! "

Use Transwarp dammit.
 
The exploration cluster missions are random, kind of like dailies in WoW.
 
The big patch on the 20th added a lot, it also changed most of the interface.  The next episode is going to be filled with "what's this do?".

You guys are still running the Release Candidate of Windows 7?

" Wait, there's a "Sirius Sector Black" - coincidence or Potter reference? "

Ryan is IMPATIENT AS HELL. Damn.

Banana Pancakes are B'Elanna Torres' (Half-Klingon, Half-Human) favourite food.  She asks Neelix to cook them for her when she finds out that her daughter will have ridges on her forehead.  Torres was bullied as a child because of them and she blames herself for her father leaving. 

If you hit P Brad Vinny or Ryan it will pull up a list of abilties theres an warp to sol system called transwarp in there 

Ryan, you're wrong. Sulu does know karate. He used it on that security guard in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

Those tribbles will eat your chocolate chip muffins!  
 
I think you should have beamed out at the end though. 

Tip for Bradly when you die on foot your AI teamates can pick you up

BANANA PANCAKES!
Maybe I'll finally get around to using the beta code I have tonight...

well you guys can be proud of yourself
you guys made me buy the fracking game when I had NO interest of playing in the first place when the first trailers came out.
 
DAMN YOU
DAMN YOU GIANTBOMB
& Brad.

Space North is awesome.

Watching Brad surf the web was what I came here for.

HA! I looked it up.
 
Sulu knows JUDO.

Damn it Brad!  BOUNCE!!!!!!

Hey there was a futurama episode with the original star trek crew where one of the characters made the assumption that Sulu knew Karate. Pretty funny, and George Takai said something like "how dare you assume i know ka-ra-te!" before promptly karate chopping someone

 I love when brad tries to awkwardly hide the 'ship on ground' bug, every time it happens.

With each of these videos i see i become more interested in actually playing this game. 
I don't know this game looks kind of fun haha.

The Australia voice Ryan does at 40:52 sounds sort of like a guy I met. Haha.

Sisko, or Mirror Sisko, or perhaps Sisko posing as Mirror Sisko (!) once dual-wielded a pair of Klingon disruptor pistols. It was pretty badass.

Nice! New Episode.
 
Also, here's a little tip. If you press P while in the ship you can bring up a list of skills and, somewhere in there, there is a skill which will emergency warp (or something like that) you straight back to the sol space station. It works like a Hearth (sp?) Stone from WoW, so it has a 30min cooldown, but it will obviously cut down on any travelling you have to do.
 
Edit: Also, now that you've patched, if you're a fan of the standard scan animation, then hit the button on the left-middle of the minimap. That's pretty sweet too.

Also, i just realized this this morning, but you can sell stuff through the replicator, you dont need to go back to a station to do it....i think so far that and being able to hail starfleet are my favorite features.

This game is so shit.

oh wow they totally passed wolf 359, a lot of things happened there (in star trek canon)

Make you banana pancakes, pretend like its the weekend now, yeah hah hah

" Man, i dont get why they dont wanna look at buying a new ship.
 
They can totally get the same class of ship as the original enterprise.(constitution class) "

Brad & co. really need to read up on how the combat works. Use those expose/exploit combos!

BOUNCE!

YEAH!

This is the biggest tangent yet

Hopefully they'll get some videos in of the game in its current state, after the newest patch it's been a lot better. 
  
They've aimed to make it easier earlier on, and it'll balance out as you advance. I've truly struggled in ground combat because of the amount of  enemy officers grouped together in later missions. It's a good change of pace.

HaHa!!! I can't believe they looked this up online! Amazing!!!!!

Space is bigger than Texas! 
 
The fun continues! 

This game got a lot faster after the patch it seems.
