Welcome to Gaia! ::

OH MY GOD. I want this game. I've just been watching some game reviewers start beta testing the game over at Giant Bomb, mind you they're each around an hour long:

Set Phasers to Fun - Part 1
Set Phasers to Fun - Part 2
Set Phasers to Fun - Part 3

I was a little unsure about this game at first, I admit. But after watching the dude play, it looks like alot of fun! ...then again, I always had a soft spot for some nice tactical strategic gaming.

Space Combat is fun, it is my opinion that it is more fun than ground missions. probably because my character has more options in space combat than in ground.

there are 3 different kinds of Currency. (least that i've seen so far)

Energy Credits this is your basic MMO gold, you use this to buy everything and you even use this to customize your ships, outfits, and awayteam / bridge officers. Energy Credits even appear to be used to buy your next ship when you gain a rank. ranks are gained every 10 levels it appears.

StarFleet Merits are used to purchase new bridge officers, or new skills for your bridge officers, this is in case you don't happen to like the skills they already have. Re naming your ship and bridge officers is also measured in these merits.

Badges of Exploration, these are your standard PVP money. not much else they are used for aside for buying powerful "Twink" items for PVP.

yes it is a shame that the bridge officers skills are limited to the equipment on the ship, but while progressing up through the ranks you won't really notice this as long as you've got the most current ship for your rank. If you get to admiral and want to go joy riding in your first Miranda light cruiser you're going to be sorely disappointed that the bridge officers only have access to their first level skills.

so open Beta just closed, however i've got Screenshots if you're interested mrgreen

My Ship


My Captain (my ex would be proud she was always bugging me to play something other than humans in other MMO's LOL


a cool alien whom i modified, she is a bridge officer for my "klingon side" Character



My Bajoran Bridge Officer, an Engineer


My Andorian Bridge Officer, another Engineer



My Klingon Side Character is a Lethean mrgreen

I forgot to get a screenshot of my Trill bridge officer whom i gave a pink pony tail sad

awesome Screens. yeah i made a Human looking Alien as my secondary Character too, just so i could get the feats/perks i wanted.

that is a Nova class Ship, unmodified. it is the Lt Cmdr tier ship for Science Class. they have 2 other ships which look somewhat similar, but i choose to do a strait Nova class there. I love it! i've got Shields that barely seem to drain, and when they do i've go

t 2 Bridge officer abilities to restor them. and the Science Class ships gets special Sub System targeting. so i love using the Tachyon Beam and the Target Shields to drain opponent's shields quickly.


(the Fire Supression device is fun to spray while running around the stations) lol

So , you get to design your own ships?

I dont know if I want to cust. my ship. I just went from refit consitution to excalibur. So far I am happy with it. Pluse when playing a song from my player just makes the game more fun in a way. I am using the music's from the star trek movies on it. So far, Wraith of Khan did a wonder on it. Thinking of making a special playlist for the klingon side.

Me and the crew.

On Risa.... REALLY wishing I had some swimming trunks.

My 1st ship, the FERIM

Lots of laser in this fleet action

May the FERIM rest in peace.

Introducing FERIM-A

Beginning to think I need a newer ship

The FERIM-A part1

The FERIM-A part 2

Well those are my current pic's. I did a slight change in my officers though. just food for thought.

There is, 14.99 for one whole month. But if you want I could send you the codes on the back of my cards. I dont have a use for them other than bookmarks.
