Note and level restrictions:
Open Beta will start with characters restricted to playing Federation and Klingon sectors only. You will not be able to access Romulan, Cardassian, or Borg space until we update a little later on into the Beta.
In addition, all players will hit a level cap at 16 - which will allow you to complete all missions available in your respective sectors. You'll be unable to spend new skillpoints until we open up the other sectors. We ask that you play through all of the content you can find available to you. This will ensure coverage of everything in the sectors before you move on. You will progress enough to advance past your initial ship and into and through your first tier Cruiser, Escort, or Science vessel.
The servers are warming up and we're all very excited to open the doors and let you experience Star Trek Online.
See you online!
I won't mind playing through the first couple of levels again to be honest, but I really doubt that I'm going to give Cryptic more money after the nonsense that was Champions Online...I had a lot of hope for it - but it just didn't satisfy my need for an MMO to fall back on, and I don't think ST:O really has the longevity that I would want.
