Is it level-agnostic or have it's own leveling and skill systems or something else? I mean, does everyone start out on an equal footing, without any regard for their "normal" level and skills, etc.?

Yeah, that was me :D Had all 3 of the party poppers going after the in space parade :D

I died a lot lol, but I was trying the gunship. I'll the the other 2 classes tonight.

It seems to be a lot like Tie Fighter and X-Wing to me, just remember when you're shooting at someone to lead the target at all times. Comparably try not to fly in a predictable flight path

Oh wow, I haven't gotten back to this in forever! ^^; Really am grateful that you guys still play it! *huggies* B) It was fun being able to be recognized in your podcast. Much love and thanks!

I've already submitted the spotlight a while back, but haven't heard a word from it.

Ah well, it was fun doing it and having you in it! :)

I want to play it tonight. It has been a while.

Definitely play the tutorial, it really helps. I wanted to during beta but it just wasnt working then. This reminds me of the old wing commander games, on a more simplistic level. When you mentioned the ships you missed that sometime in the next 2 months a bomber class will come out as well. Those are a heavy class with bomb bays. The bomb bays can contain drones, mines, or possibly other things. I like this and will be playing much more of it.

For subscribers at least.

I played a little bit with it yesterday and was wanting to gauge other people's opinions on it. It's definitely very different than the space flight mini-game, and it's very different than STO's space combat. STO was nice, slow, methodical. This is like a hyperactive STO space combat meets TRON. It's definitely different than anything I've played before, and it'll definitely take some getting used to.

I'm still trying to figure out all the mechanics, but I think I have the basics down at least. It'll probably help when I get back home to my usual gaming computer as opposed to my laptop I'm playing at the moment.

There is one tip I'd recommend for everyone: PLAY THE TUTORIAL! When you go to your hangar (the H button), you'll see a question mark (?) in the upper right of the screen. When you click that, it'll take you directly into the tutorial. It's not complete by any means, but it's better than getting dropped into a PVP match and having no clue what you're doing. The rest of the info comes from the pop-up screens and give some good information.

For those of you who are familiar with STO, the ships are in some ways very similar. You've got the 3 different speed/maneuverable classes: the fast and agile, the medium speced, and the slow tank. Each has basic attributes; for example, one deals a lot of damage but takes a while to warm up its weapons, another has it on demand at all times but deals less with each hit. Luckily you're able to try out each one at any time to really figure out your playing style.

Similar in some ways to STO as well is the officer system: you have a co-pilot and several other slots (damage, defense, etc.) where you can choose from one of your own companions (each having set specialties/abilities) or a provided crew. Note that you can only use the companions you have acquired so far, so if you're level 20, you may only have 1 or 2 to choose from other than the provided officers.

One thing that I noticed that wasn't fully obvious in the tutorials was how to target. You have two basic types of weapons that are similar to the space mini-game: lasers that shoot where your ship is pointing (left click) and cannons that lock on (right click). A big difference comes in where you aim for your lasers -- you aim at where the person is GOING not at the ship itself. You can see where they're going by the little dot and line in front of the enemy ship.

I hope this little bit will help some get started, I know I'm just starting out myself, and I'll post more as I figure it out.

i was hoping they'd be edible eggs, you know...

Updates soon to follow, on my honor. ;)

Any updates on this?

So this is my home brew turkey recipe, a change from the usuall traditional stuff and the deep fried stuff. Originally called it the Lindsey Lohan Turkey because of the fact that it's absolutely doused in alcohol and spreads it's legs the moment you show it any attention... but I realized that it could be any drunken celebrity slut...

any way

1 medium to large turkey
1 pack of bacon
oranges, apples, onions, fennel, carrots and celery (chopped up to shove into the bird's cavity)

The liquid
1 medium bottle of Makers Mark
1 medium bottle of PURE maple syrup (The good stuff)
3 cinnamon stick
Cloves, nutmeg and star anise to taste
2 stick of butter
1/2 cup of Brown sugar

The brine
Salt...lots of it when you think you have enough add more
Ginger, pepper to taste
Sugar
1/2 a bottle of red wine

Mix ingredient for the brine in a large container that the turkey will fit in and you can still put water in it. Put the bird in and add ice for a controlled thaw.

Mix ingredient for The Liquid in a large pan and cook until all the alcohol has burned off.

once the turkey is thawed pull out of brine if you're ready to bake (leave in if not) and discard the brine there's no saving it so don't even try just dump it.

Pat the turkey dry and place it in a deep wide pan that will accommodate The Liquid and the fat that will come from the bird. Stuff the fruits and veg and additional ginger (if desired) into the bird cavity. layer the bacon over the turkey breast (Or lattice weave it if you're fancy and want to show off)

Cook the bird until dry, basting it with The Liquid every 30-45 minutes.

The bird will be very moist and tender and it's legs will spread the moment you remove it from the pan.

I'm super jealous! Where did you get those

I got most of them online at the Ornament Factory Store. They have a huge collection of the Hallmark Star Trek ornaments!
