Those 'long' trek's one has to take pre-level-14 to get to
where you are going is costing the dev's more than the
players...

Heh, either this months MaximumPC or PCGamer has an
interview with the people behind the upcoming MMORPG
"Star Trek" and use the former "Earth and Beyond"'s time
to travel as one reason for it's eventual demise. I BETA'd
"E&B" and played, and can vouch for the problem with long
travel times being an issue, along with the Devs "balancing"
every 10 minutes. It killed it.

So far, the only REAL problem I have is the travel issue.

Personally, I think there should be an individual Travel Power
Pool, but I'm not one of the paid code monkeys...

I admit that I haven't read all of these posts, but I figured that this thread might be a good place to post this. While playing yesterday, my sister sends me a /tell asking me to help her with a mission. She's a level 20 Fire/Fire Blaster. Her mission was Warrior based and involved stopping a ringleader named Hercules....

It's "Heracles"(Defeat Heracles and his men - Striga) and I
know the mission you are referring to. I'm using a SL24
Ele/Eng Blaster and am going to have to call in for
reenforcements for this one after taking a dirt nap twice
while running Solo; either that or try and outlevel that
mission w/o outleveling my Contact. And I'm only set on
"Heroic".

It seems to me to be a bit off, unless it's another push for
making you Group/Team.

I only wish they'd realize there's a difference between
MMPORPG and Grouping; but that's a dead horse issue.

Glad she finally made it thru. Watch those up coming
Devouring Earth missions. They can be almost as bad
for the Solo player...

Nice guide. Glad to see some of the numbers revealed. the
4s Damage for Snipe was nice to know. One thing I did was
take the Leadership pool. Yea, not an "Optimum" build, but
for some extra Damage and Defense, it seems to be working
well for my Eng/Eng Hero ATM. Just a thought....

I still think you're missing one.

Oh, great. Thanks. There goes another 2 months trying to find that one

RP'ers didn't break it. In fact, judging by the names I see on
there, I don't think it's heavily populated by RP'rs at all. I
think they are all in an Underground Base
