Rug send me your name through PM and I'll add you when I get a chance. Also I found the best part of STO, if stand in front of someone at the bank terminal and then you use the terminal and go into your bank inventory, look at what your character is doing to the other person.

I don't mind other people adding me. I'm installing STO on the laptop I have since I was able to get the screen to work through some soldering. The can I run it website says my video card is insufficient but it doesn't hurt to give it a quick test just in case as all New Egg seems to forward me to are cooling options for the laptop, not new video cards for notebooks.

If it works, I will create a character and see if I can screenprint it. But I'm not too expectant of any real results. I need to reformat the thing anyways.

Update, the video card is insufficient on the laptop, however I believe that getting cards for them are somewhat cheap. At least with the laptop I know what isn't good enough and can make a definite step to get it working good enough to play STO. It will just take some time I gather. I'm getting there though. I'm getting excited at possibly being able to play as soon as next month.

Tweaking around a bit I was able to get the game running for close to 20 minutes, give or take. Enough time for me to create a character, go through the whole intro missions and begin a run around the galaxy. However that was sadly a rare thing as I can't get it to do that again. I get the newer card tomorrow and I hope that that is all that is wrong with it. But then again I've heard the card won't be able to handle it, so if not, I'll be happy if the thing stabalizes my PC. Then at least I know what is wrong and I can save up for a card and layaway one from Newegg. I hear they allow payment plans or something like that.

So things are looking up for the moment. Keep hoping I'll be around sooner or later.

Here's my newer character just for reference.

DEATH TO FUR-

ahem.

I hate that species. It's like they ran out of rubber foreheads so they're just taking other earth animals and making them into aliens. And it's a cat, which is boring. If it was like some sort of bird-person it would be awesome.

like the fierekkans from wing commander?

Rughugger · January 26, 2011, 01:02:59 AM

Wing Commander ruled. :P

Got the card today. Computer is still crashing so I either have 1) stuffty Processor 2) stuffty Motherboard or 3) stuffty power supply. I'm going to have to re-cancel my account again for an unspecified time. This is really pissing me off as I am at my wits end trying to figure it out. FML

Sadly, my account was de-activated due to inactivity... Doesn't mean I can't post a few screenshots of when I did play:

How I loved the purple lava.

I had such a puny ship back then...

Have fun, peeps. I may re-activate my account sometime.

Rughugger · January 26, 2011, 12:43:12 PM

I fully intend to reactivate mine just as soon as I can get something to play it on. Here's a couple more screenshots from when I was still able to play.

My personal favorite:

carolcat · January 26, 2011, 12:59:15 PM

I lol'd at the bottom picture.

Rughugger · January 27, 2011, 01:38:28 AM

Yeah that one took a long time to time just right to get the screenprint. But well worth it.

I love how the name on this ship was long enough to make the registry look like a Terran Universe ship. I.S.S. Lindy's Revenge.

I have the same ship, only mine is the I.S.S. Witch Doctor-E
It's supposed to be -B, but the B got cut off :(
