I agree that it brings out the Trek nerd in me and is difficult to resist, but I think it is, unfortunately, going to get crushed by The Old Republic and the continuing adventures of the WoW money generating machine. Watching the end of the beta made me curse myself for not being there, and it really did look like a lot of fun, but at the end of the day, the ultimate enjoyment you'll get from the game post-launch will depend on how many cool events like that actually happen.

Love all the screenshots. This was truly something to remember.

I'm savagely kicking myself for not being there. Cheers to those who were, though.

I agree, this was the most fun I've ever had in STO. It had its moments, but this one was incredibly awesome and ended with a big bang.
 
I have a few screens to share as well, but they're pretty shitty considering how this computer is running on laughably pathetic a intel integrated card.
 

Good admit those are nice screen shots. I'm surprised you didn't see my Klingon corpse in one of them.

Set Phasers to Fun actually made me go back watching Star Trek TOS. I just wish I had a computer that could optimize the graphics on STO.

That really does seem like a helluva lot of fun. But then again, you're not gonna be teaming up with the GB crew every day.

I'm really, really put down that my internet connection fucked up right before the event started. :(
 
Ah well, Layton had a good run.

Missed all that when I left, Damn!!

"Missed all that when I left, Damn!! "

"I am sad that I joined the Beta too late to get a chance to roll with you dudes.  When the full retail game comes out, I would love to be a Lobster. "

I wondered why you left haha

"@Mikemcn:  Wearing black and white so I blended in with the borg for a little bit and spent the majority of the time dead on the ground where you zone into the station. I saw myself in the live video replay laying dead where everyone spawns into the station. Here's how things went last night.... =edit= or not... This site won't allow me to paste simple text into these reply windows. Effin Wonky. "

It makes me sad that my computer can't handle this game.
 
My Star Trek Fanboy is crying out!

Any reason why i can't simply copy and paste txt into these windows? Anyways I'll type out what happened for me last night...
 
I was one of those few lucky Klingons (Dellingr of the IKS Ragnarok in the white and black) whom, after leaving the spam fest at star base 24 out of disgust at all the spawn camping ended up glitching and dieing in sector space. When it let me respawn the game thought I was a federation ship and parked me right next to Sol. Naturally I ducked inside the system only to be spawn camped some more. One respawn I got lucky and they were distracted. I blew every cool down and flew into the station's dock frantically mashing buttons to beam over. Upon entering there were 1 or two people fighting but for the most part nobody knew quite what to do regarding their new found batliff wielding friends.
 
Being expert diplomats my fellow brothers and I went straight to the admiral's office to introduce ourselves and extend an olive branch of peace. When we arrived everyone was having a party. The records stopped and they all gaped in shock as they were not expecting such dignified guests. The admiral broke out the scotch and we all started singing tales of battle and honor together until K'tang reached into the fish tank for a snack. Jaws his the floor, hushed gasps echoed, and Sulu mentioned something about mother so I buried my batliff into his cranium.
 
Next thing I knew they were trying to escort me to the brig but I decided to die in the ways of my ancestors as a warrior of battle. From that point on I had my own cozy little spot to nap in the promenade while the feds spawn camped me till the borg showed up. By then I had began watching the giantbomb life feed and having seen myself on the ground in their webcast I felt satisfied enough I had earned my 15 seconds of fame and logged off to go watch the rest of a hockey game.

I just tried to copy what I wrote 1 posts back and paste it into this window... didn't work. >.<

"@Mikemcn:  Yeah I was lucky enough to get commented on too in SPFF #10. When brad is at the dance party and he says "Awww this guy watched our videos and now he loves the game." That was the comment I made just after having joined the space lobsters.  All thanks to the Bradschwager! "

Nice story; screenshots.

love those shots, 
i salute the lobsters.

"@Mikemcn:  The Bradschwager came from the random crazy thoughts I have to fit utterly spontagulous moments of craptacular proportions.
 
Also... it's a tasty yet gross kind of german bologna paste. Don't ask how or why I associated that with Brad.
