Would there be any interest in cd keys from the Collector edition of this game? Since I no longer play this game I have a few left and am cleaning house. Also any ideas on what these things are worth? Ive checked the usual sources and sealed unused games are in the minority.

I'll take one if they're not all gone.

I've been using the TOS bridge, but I think I want something a bit more current. Which bridges actually look good? Do any of them change the rest of the ship interiors besides TOS?

Almost all the bridges in the c-store are launch era stuff are pretty horrible in every respect, including poo poo like misplaced or stretched textures. The only really good purchasable bridges are the TOS one you have, the defiant's "belfast" bridge from the DS9 pack, and the Intrepid interior from that pack.

Almost all the lockbox/event ships have their own bridges but they're just the bridge themselves and have no real interiors. I'd argue it's a plus since you don't have to trudge all over the ship for doff assignments, but none of those matter anymore so whatever. :effort: There's a few other ship-specific bridges with full interiors, but the only ones that spring to mind are the Odyssey and Bortas ones. Even there the interiors are just retextured, not unique.

Yeah, the Origin bridge that everyone has is great. Can the Odyssey bridge be applied to any ship? It was pretty bling if you have it.

I really wish they'd fix the ready rooms. They look so awful and I have to go there for my account bank. There's only one, can't they just spiff it up and paste it onto each.

I think the only actually different ship interiors for feds are the TOS one, Defiant one, and Voyager one.

The Defiant interior (Called Belfast), it comes with the DS9 bundle.

There is also the Intrepid interior but you can only get that with the Intrepid 3 Pack bundle.

The last one, and the one before that, and the one before that...

Basically, the act you described is the entirety of player warfare in STO.

Sure, why not. You'll be flying it for all of five missions before you get your level 40 ship.

When leveling, you really want to stick to escorts (unless you're a Fed and can get ballship). Early cruisers have painfully terrible turning.

Reddit seems to like it, so that's probably a no.

Switching from Intel/Pilot has an opportunity cost, and that cost is the ability to do sick barrel rolls. No thank you sir.
