I remember the lag well, but that's long since been addressed and the game runs a lot smoother now. Additionally, not too long ago they rebuilt Embry, the sector one hub town, to enable it to run smoother, since that's where so many people congregate.Death Carr said:
I haven't ran into any lack of content. I'm nowehere near level cap (I level very slowly) but I'm not finding myself at a loss for things to do, between the main narrative, dailies and sectors of space you can just explore randomly. I played it a bit at launch and came away a bit lukewarm, it was okay but not worth the sub. Having went back to it now I can say I was much more impressed. It's improved a lot from what it was.
If you went into it with an open mind about how it'll play I'd say yes. By which I mean, for example, the ground combat is less showy than some, since you're not some godlike one man army, but a Starfleet officer with an away team (your bridge officers, who are pretty competent NPC back up on ground missions.) Similary, the space combat is more tactical than just zoom zoom pew pew. These are big ships with hundreds of crew so it's a lot about getting into position, keeping your strongest shields toward the enemy while maximising how many of your own firing arcs you can bring to bear on the target, and using your special abilities to maximise your damage output and counter their attacks. Like I said, I love the starship combat.
The Trek feel is definitely there, but it does a reasonable job of showing and explaining the setting for the uninitiated.
