I’ve seen Admirals walking around but there is me still waiting on that Tier 2 ship and I don’t care. I like that I can take things easy and enjoy the game at my own pace. Rushing to get to the end game on a freshly released MMO seems to me to be a waste of time. You might as well enjoy the work that has been put into it. When sampling a wine (not that I drink) you don’t down a bottle, you breathe in the aroma, sip from the glass to savour the flavour. Why should our gaming be any different?

For now, here’s a link to a video of characters in STO petting their tribbles, complete with sound effects.

I am still on the fence about buying it…but it’s reviews like this that are making me want to check it out. The space anomaly looks cool too. Have any pictures of tribbles? :)

They explicitly stated they designed it this way, as a beam of light roughly showing you the direction of the target, to make sure you stare on the screen and not on an arrow or quest marker pointing you somewhere.

What they could have done better is sector navigation. The system list is helpful, but once the system is in another sector, people are often lost where to go, as even the quest description occasionally misses to tell you the sector/quadrant of the system at all.

P.S.: The preorder Tribble bonus is a triple bonus buff… how cute. :)
