The ground combat automatically starts in RPG mode. If you want the over the shoulder aiming you have to turn it on under options, controls.

It seems the aiming is of course with the mouse and the abilities are all operated with the number bar or crtl-number... so it will take some getting used to.

As for the engineer. It seems they have sped up the beam in time for turrets etc. which is a plus when using the FPS mode.

Gents, STO just became a whole new game

I saw discussion in the TTS channel about a modulator you can get from the replicator. You need it when you fight the Borg, both in ground and space. Basically, when you see your damage drop to 1 against a Borg target, you need to activate the modulator.

im hearing numerous complaints about the new "assimalated" power the Borg have where it turns u into a drone.... havent seen it for myself but will try later

[FLTCAPT Savar]

They should have lower HPs if their assimilation has gotten a boost

To quickly switch between FPS and RPG hit the "N" key... makes things a lot faster

[Morgan Shackelford]

I played through 'Stranded in Space' on Tribble to check out the new ground combat...

Definitely awesome. It's going to take some getting used to, but it's a helluva lot more fun than the old controls.

First piece of advice - you mihgt want to reset or change some of your key bindings to make things a bit easier. The shooter controls take away the mouse cursor, so any skills you want to use would have to be activated with keystrokes or mouse buttons...

The Duty Officer system isn't patched in yet, I was really hoping to check that out... hopefully soon

Ran through State of Q last night to see some of the Borg changes...hoo boy...for starters if you face Borg a melee weapon in your secondary slot is now a must...even my sorry untrained butt tore through them with a batleth...assimilation is a serious threat now...hyposprays will stop it but you have to be aware it's happening which can be a bit difficult now...didn't think to grab the device that stops the adaptation to weapons since I went all melee on them anyway...will check that out later on
