“Ship Tactics” Part II – Power Management and Boarding Parties

Nero — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:52:57 +0000

This is sounding better and better all the time Boarding Parties using shuttles This video is shorter than last one but has two key points that every Captain needs to know, but can I actually take over his/her ship with my parties or will self destruct always rob me of my victory are their Gatling phasers to destroy the other ships shuttles before they can beam their parties over to my ship. I have many QUESTIONS as Khan once said, you can view the video at IGN.com and you can see PART I of “Ship Tactics” Here

Massively’s Weekly Q&A for Star Trek Online: Week One “Ships”

Nero — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:24:32 +0000

About 2 weeks ago I posted an article about Massively Starting up a weekly Q&A in which readers submitted question about Star Trek Online on a select subject for each week and Cryptic Studios giving you there replies. The first weeks subject was SHIPS and Massively choose the best question for Cryptic to answer. one question or should I say answer peaked my interest: ” Marix: Will ships of different classes (IE: escort/science/engineering) have different combat styles? Will a small Bird of Prey and defiant class move faster at impulse and do a lot of circling and swerving whilst a large engineering cruiser’s moves slower and tries to punch in as much damage as possible whilst repairing itself?

Definitely. Escorts are the quick-moving, precision-striking ships of the fleet. They’re not as hardy as other ships, but they’re tough to hit and can fit cannons, which are high-damage, almost sniper-style weapons. Cruisers are big ships with a big crew and huge engines that provide them lots of power, so they can fit a lot of guns, send big BOARDING PARTIES and repair their hull and subsystems very quickly. And Science ships can detect cloaked vessels, use tractor beams to hold other ships in place and expose a weak side, take out shields with powerful tachyon beams, and lend aid to other ships in need. ” There are going to be boarding parties? does this mean we can take over someone else’s ship or more likely a PvE ship and use it or explore it for loot I want to hear more about these Boarding Parties To see the full Q&A just follow the link

2 New Videos from Cryptic show “Bridge gameplay” and “Ship Tactics”

Nero — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:57:21 +0000

Cryptic Studios announced late last week that the bridge would be a playable space in your ship which was a bit of a surprise to me since I assumed there was always going to be a bridge, where else am i supposed to put my bridge officers. There you go we now know for sure there is a bridge and at least 20 different ones at that, with the release of the “Bridge gameplay“ video we get to see our new home and that is what it will be were the Captains will do all there strategizing and if I read this right other Captains can beam over to see use face to face, hopefully for good and not evil. The bridge officers will be at the stations you choose for them to best help your ship in what ever endeavor it is up to. Give me the Defiant bridge with a borg at each station and lets see how long you last, I can dream can’t I. This video is mild compared to the second video “Ship Tactics“ which is in the same vein as the FUTURE PAST videos. It is an actual walk-through of the ship systems and a first look at your HUD and how the bridge officers fit in, how they and your ship can be customized. this one is a must see for every future Captain out there. Thanks to Kotaku and IGN for the videos
