Hey Folks,

Here is Episode 58 of Hailing Frequency which was broadcast live on Saturday January 10th 2009.

In our first show of 2009 we discuss in detail the multiple updates that have been posted on the Star Trek Online Website since our Christmas show.

We gauge the communities opinions on the topics from the updates which include the ship specs in the new ship of line updates, owning multiple ships and ship physics from the new Ask Cryptic Update and we discuss the new screenshots in detail and analyze how the graphics have improved since the first batch of screenshots and hopefully how they will continue to improve.

We also talk about what might happen to the Star Trek Gaming License once Bethesda's tenure with it expires in 2010/2011 and we check out the Interplay Classic "Starfleet Academy" to see if it still holds up on today's computers.

Donations

Hailing Frequency is always in need of donations to help cover server costs and other expenses. Did you know that we currently use over 2000gb of Bandwidth Per Month?  All of this bandwidth and server power costs money - so even if you can only spare a dollar - It will help!

Yay!  I have finally joined the 21st century and now own a Zune mp3 player on which I can download and listen to HF while at work.  Well, I can download the cast at home then listen at work.  Just caught up on #57 and now have to get home and check out #58. 

As always team, great job.  I've been away too long and have a lot of catching up to do on all things Trek gaming. 

/cheers


By the way what does Reputation Power mean?  I seem to have a lot of that.  ;)

Thats either a major system glitch, or it has something to do with the fact that you have been a forum member since 2005/2006

What is the alternative, Chico?

don't buy it and send a clear message that we will no longer sheeply buy subpar games. same can be said about seeing the new movie, but alas the sheep will keep letting them make horrid things cause they fear that if they don't, there will be no more trek, i hate stupid illogical logic.

the message that would be sent buy simply not buying the game would be that Star Trek is a lost franchise and is no longer viable for profit.

by purchasing STO fans are put into a unique position unlike stand alone games that allows us to play the game and then voice real suggestions based on game play that allows us to enjoy new content over the years...

in this case Inaction will not benefit the whole but rather the action of purchasing STO will give you voice to demand change and content that you believe should be in STO....
