Yeah, they’ve been saying stuff about cross-faction alliances through the Armada system on Twitter. At least they’re trying, and it’d be pretty nice to see it happen.
I agree though, after a little trial period, being alligned with bigger fleets could be beneficial to us.
Also, I’ve a question, are we allowed to use the Armada chat to find team members, etc? I just think it’d be easier to switch chats like that. (/chan armada)
I originally downloaded STO through Steam when I first discovered the game and played it for a good two years through it. Never treated me wrong, the Steam Wallet transactions were instant 100% of the time. I use Steam for other games, anyway, but if I want to buy ZEN, I use Steam rather than anything else, just because I’ve never had one issue.
Arc is too heavy on my system, which isn’t top of the line, but isn’t budget either, it’s a nice little gaming rig, but the ads that continuously scroll on Arc get me, and it uses alot more bandwidth to run in the background, even minimized to the tray. I have limited internet during the daytime hours, so I have that to consider.
Other than that, on a normal day, I run STO directly from the .exe file like Marcase, only to switch to Steam for ZEN purchases (mainly because I’ve been using it for years, and have nothing but praise for the gaming client.) I’m just a little confused on what you mean by “linking your STO account to Steam.” When I use Steam to play STO for ZEN, etc, it just acts as a launcher and support (Steam In-Game overlay).
On a side-note, I’ve only launched STO from Arc once, and that was for the free Ferengi shuttle. xD
Thanks! I meant to come around here sooner, but been quite busy with work lately. I’m already enjoying how active everyone is. I’m mostly active in the early mornings, have already run a few ground dungeons with members, again, enjoying my time here so far!
Thanks for the reference to an RP thread! I’ll definitely check it out!
