Also, money, except for buying extra ships, don't seems very important in this game.
BTW, where can i find MK III or Mk IV equipment for the ship?
Well this sucks. Over an hour of trying, 60+ times, and nothing. The error it gives isn't even posted on the forum, so I have no idea if people other than me are having this issue.
Guess it's time to email Cryptic and hope they actually reply. Otherwise it's to the trash with this thing.

On the loader did you change the proxy settings at all? If you did that sometimes caused odd issues and you should change it back to auto, if not then I would just advise deleting the whole thing and redownloading.
I think to get mark 3 and 4 stuff you have to go to DS9 or K7 to buy them.
Anyone who ordered from Amazon.co.uk check your emails, apparently they are cancelling tons of orders as they don't have the stock.
I didn't touch anything. I did try having it go through a proxy after the 50th crash or so, and it didn't crash when I did that... but it didn't do anything else either. It just sat there.
I'll try reinstalling the game when my box gets here tomorrow, but if that doesn't fix it I'm done. Even if it does fix it, if it ever happens again I'm done. I'm the only one on the STO forum that posted with that error. I have no faith in Cryptic actually listening to a single person with a patcher crash issue.
Oddly enough, I'd be a lot more forgiving if that actual game was crashing after I got in or played for a little bit.

Have you tried telling the loader to do a scan of all the files? I cant remember exactly where it is in the loader options but you can force it to check all your files are in the right order and that fixed a weird problem I was having in closed beta.
Doesn't work. It still crashes.
It doesn't even start scanning the files.
It just says loading version ST.0.20100123a.16 and then crashes... no progress bar, nothing.
EDIT: I did notice a bunch of people on the forums having crash issues with the patcher/launcher, but they're all using the Steam version of STO. I'm just using the beta client.
Hopefully a reinstall fixes it, but I'm not wasting 7-8GB on a download that might not even work.

My copy apparently got shipped today but my copy of Mass Effect 2 still hasn't arrived, so I probably won't be joining Gafleet for a while. 'Fraid ME2 will take priority whenever the Royal Mail decide to fucking deliver it!

I ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition from atari.com, and they sent me a email today with a code for the game that I assume is the actual game code. Do I need to activate this on the STO site? I already entered a key code for the open beta and head start, but this code is different?
EDIT: I do have to enter it... Whats lame is they don't allow you to get past the subscription screen in order to activate your full game without giving some sort of payment information. Even though I got 30 days of free play time they require you to atleast start a subscription in order to play... wow. Of course you have 30 days to cancel it in order to not be charged, but what a scam.

Dev's said a fix for it is on it's way. To bad we didn't get to beta test that, cause that would have been fixed already.

Holy god I might consider selling mine at that rate.... its totally obvious they will be available on the c-store later.
Found out there's another character title available to certain people, Red squad member, you had to be in both open and closed beta and report a ton of faults to get it, im guessing I didnt get it as I only got into closed right at the end
Edit:
Another one, $200! Someones trying to pay off their lifetime sub im guessing

I love how it says in the description
INCLUDED WITH THIS ITEM IS THE RARE AMAZON.COM EXCLUSIVE BORG BRIDGE OFFICER.
THIS IS NOT A CODE, FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IT IS BUILT INTO THIS GAME. I OPENED THIS GAME FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF FINDING A "BORG BRIDGE OFFICER CODE" AND I COULD NOT FIND A CODE FOR THE "BORG BRIDGE OFFICER" ANYWHERE. I ASSUME WHEN YOU ACTIVATE THE REGISTRATION CODE IT AUTOMATICALLY GIVES YOU ACCESS TO THE BORG BRIDGE OFFICER.
For 200$ id hope he would know how to get the Borg BO.

Funny thing about the Borg BOff, it appears in your inventory as an item rather than a selection on the assignment screen.

Nah. For the Steam stuff it was all tied to my pre-order and retail cd-keys.
The system knows by which keys you use, which preorder items you should get. FYI, the TOS uniforms are glitched right now. I couldn't get my Bridge Officers to wear them and... NO MINISKIRTS!!!
Will be fixed though.
I've been flying around doing random fights with Klingons beaming down the to the starbase... I wanna start customizing my ship but my game crashes on me sometimes. I wanna really fly to Deep Space Nine, but flying around in sector space takes forever... why can't I always have warp or full impulse instead of making me drag my feet...or nacelles, whatever.

Heh, thanks to whoever invited me to GAFleet. Out of curiosity, is there just no-one talking in the fleet channel or dedicated GAF channel, or am I somehow not seeing it?

Envyyyyyyyyyy! Do want!
Ah well, Steam was worth it anyway.
