    They have no idea what star trek was about, community, interaction with others, and what’s this captain crap... my advice would be to at least sit down and watch... ONE! Star trek episode... but sadly... once gain, even after a dev change, they get it in their heads about what they think this license is all about, cutting off the very thing that made start trek great... exploration... adventure new worlds new life. Solving mysteries... engaging environments... lol star ship captains for all....

     

     

     

    I don't think it will ultimately fail, but it won't be a WoW game.  This is a genre that is sorta one sided and it's only going to capture a few hundred thousand people.  The problem comes as the old saying goes  "Too many Chiefs, not enough indians"  The problem with this "Everyone is a Captian" ordeal is that Starfleet can't go around handing everyone the title "Captain".  Captain of a starship is an "ELITE" status meaning, NOT EVERYONE CAN GET CAPTAINSHIP.  Cryptic may need to think this over quite a bit and I think once they watch a few episodes, they'll realize that making everyone Captain is not a great idea.  I, for one, DONT WANT TO BE CAPTAIN.  I'd rather be the "LaForge" tinkering with the engines and making sure the ship is running at optimal performance.  There's nothing wrong with not being a Captain and Cryptic doesn't have to make this game like the Special Olympics to where EVERYONE WINS.  In real life, not everyone can be a captain and not everyone can be an engineer.  It's just Cryptic needs to take into account what each individual person wants to do on a ship.

    Me personally, I think a Ship needs to be the "Guild".  GM is the Captain and the Officers are the people that run the ship.  Without those officers, the ship will fail.  Catch my drift?

  • Here's my beef:

    May 17th, 2008, I receive my piece of paper from Gamestop where I pre-ordered AoC for Early Access and the War Mammoth.  On this piece of paper it says:

    "IN-GAME EXCLUSIVE     THE WAR MAMMOTH"

    Now correct me if i'm wrong but by releasing the "SNOW MAMMOTH" totally invalidates my Pre-Order.  What this tells me that I should have never pre-ordered AoC, Waited a year and then purchased the game and I would have gotten the same thing had I waited a year or longer. 

    WAR MAMMOTH = SNOW MAMMOTH, just a different coat of paint on an old car in my opinion.

    I shoulda just waited and bought War, but Hindsight is 20/20.  I will never buy another funcom product again.  This, and the numerous other press releases they have given in the past regarding AoC just further proves that Funcom is failing vicariously.

    It's a shame really, AoC had such promise but in the end failed to deliver.

    About frigging time. Now I just have to figure out how to run DX 10 good on my XP, no way in hill that I upgrade to Vista.

    That it says Dx 10 on the box isn't the worst thing BTW, the worst thing is that microsoft had it on their DX 10 page all the time, as a reason to upgrade to vista for XP users.

     

    there is a DX10 hack for windows xp floating around
