    I recently re downloaded STO again... Tho imma kinda torn on which side to play... I kinda narrowed it down to 2 characters; my hybrid Tac-Sci officer for the Fed side (which I kinda need sum moar stuffs)... Or meh better geared KDF aligned Rommie Tac... To say the least I still need significant revamping on both sides~ eek! Constitution light

    Oh god, it has begun.

    Also you should go for whichever faction has the widest selection of clothes, as we both know that's the main interest you have in games. Tongue Out

    welcome back. It is one of those games that requires time away, to come back and enjoy it again. Without much end game to keep the interest it really is dependant on updates and expansions to give people something to come back for.

    If you have a lot of work to do at end game, you may want to consider starting fresh with a new character. The new 23c Faction is pretty fun to play imo.

    I've been thinking the same thing...but is hard to come back as even the best faction ships are gamble box based and that depresses the hell out of me to be honest.

    Don't let that keep you from having fun in game, as there are plenty of ships that can go toe to toe with the best "rare" ship. A good pilot can make just about any ship a formidable threat.

    Oh it's not just that...I can see from being off for almost a year that the game hasn't changed at all really...even down to the bugs...twice now I've tried to install the game and the download stalled and I basically need to uninstall it all to get it working again lol

    Third time in a row the installation just stopped :\
