Character Basics - A Guide

BigBadB · 02-01-2010, 10:26 AM

Hey all,

I've just finished the first article for my new STO blog, The Engines Cannae Take It!

The Character Basics guide is my attempt to give an overview of how the character system in STO works and to explain some of the less obvious aspects, many of which tend to come up on this board fairly regularly.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, comments, ideas or criticisms on the article, so let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Well written, easily laid out and easy to understand, good work! Now we can only hope that new players actually come to the forums and see this!

WOW very nice. Thanks much for putting that together!

This is interesting. Hopefully you will be able to find the time and resources to maintain the site.

May I suggest an interactive page where we can test talent builds?

Nicely done!!

If we could get all new players to read this, it would cut down on the questions in /zone and the forums by a ton.

All you need to add is where to find Sulu and everything they need to know is there

Nicely done, concise and to the point.

You deserve a tribble! (¯)
