-champsnip-

That's because you're not a hardcore Trek fan like me who would find this game rather enthralling, unlike Champions Online which I hardly even give notice to. *shrugs* Your opinion. I'll find out for myself...If I can ever get to the point of finding out for myself. Bisjac, bring your super puter up here and let me try it out. lol Speaking of...

upgrading what you need now would still be worth it. (compared to a new budget comp)

Well I was at the shop where my car was towed to complain about the problems it had and I noticed an advert for a PC with a dual core and some other junk for $150. I raged because I knew that by the time I would be able to get that thing, it will most likely already have been sold and any upgrades that I might have needed would have been far cheaper as a result.

I won't even know how much I'm going to have to pay for the car until Monday, but I know that since there was coolant all over the back of the engine, most likely suffered from a small electrical fire as a result of the coolant splashing over wires, that I will either be paying out of my ass for the next two or more months, or I'm just going to scrap it and hope my tax income comes in sooner via electronic filing so that I can use that to pay for a new one. I'm leaning towards the newer car as there is no guarantee that even if I get this thing fixed, it won't give me a "3-times-a-charm" breakdown two weeks after that. But I have all weekend to think on that and a new career change as my latest joke of a check was only $320 after taxes.

is it good?

I find it rather fun. Pretty much ship vs ship battles in a full 3-D environment with authentic sounds and such. Pretty much the precursor to Star Trek Online's space battle feature.

Well I know it won't happen, but it's my catchphrase in threads like these. "Buy Star Trek Legacy so I have someone to coop with."

Crank down all of the settings?

Nope, it just crashes after the Cryptic splash screen. It won't even let me get to the game at all to change any settings. Either way, I'm going to have to fix my car or buy a new one so any chance I had of playing STO has gone down the drain.

Well I won't be able to bother with the game for a long while now. My car just shat out on me and I'm tired of fixing the damn thing every time I get a paycheck. So no new computer, no new computer parts, no point in even trying to play the game since I can't run it on the POS I call my pc.

So much for my so called life. Hope you all enjoy it.

New news. They came out with a couple of pricing options for play on STO. Although at the moment, they are kinda discounted, so final pricing is still up to debate.

Lifetime Membership at discount is set at: $239.99
12 Month Membership at discount is set at: $119.99

I can assume that since the 12 month is discounted at the moment, that regular monthly fee will be around $15 at retail release. Further information can be found here. Hope you're happy, I forgot what it was I was going to actually look for on the site. lol

Like we need one.

He's already the "King of the World", with one of his movies #2 on the top movies, and Avatar climbing up.

You'd be surprised how butt hurt the Humans will be when they report home about this. Because no one's more mighty than humanity! Time to send some tactical nukes to those blue skinned devils! Or at least I imagine that's what the second one will be about.

Or it's still some kinda bug in game, like Spore has still I think.

Also Colten, you're gonna have to sober up to fly a ship. Unless you wanna have some fun Self Delete missions where being drunk would probably help. lol

I never said I would grind all night to take care of that. lol It will be a very slow process but at least if I terraform the planets, it makes it nearly impossible for them to recolonize them after I wasted them. So the progress will be very slow and time consuming, but I expect to make it work out completely sometime next year.

Mwahahahahahaha!

Which is hilarious because I befriend them and slowly decimate their planets by terraforming them to a way the Grox can't survive on. Slowly but surely I shall rid the galaxy of the Grox and they'll love me for it. The last planet will be a zoo for their remaining species. >:)

I'm on a 25mbit. That's a 3,125k connection. And most mmos cap my individual bandwidth at 800k per second

I think my DSL is rated at 3mbit but I'd have to double check. Either that or I'm running a really long cable from your house to mine. lol

we have wireless >.>
the router is 4 feet from my computer though

If the router is only 4 feet from your computer, why are you going wireless on the thing? Hardjack it to the router and it'll work much better. Unless you're talking about those god-forsaken satelite internets, then you may as well just quit right there. :/
