    Reports are coming in that a group of local high school football players were seen speeding away from Cryptic's HQ. Witnesses say that the members of the group were wearing letter jackets, high-fiving repeatedly and yelling, "Have a good weekend, NERDS!"

    You can cancel that and load the game again anyway.

    edit: regarding ship and captain types, don't sweat it too much. The actually differences between captain types are a lot less than differences between classes in other MMOs. The tank/dps/healz aspects are more tied to ships because of the BO selections they offer.

    Well, the official forums are now down for the preperation of headstart.

    I guess I'm going to have to ask ya'll to provide me with horrible troll/fanboi arguements for the next 3 hours to keep me entertained. Oh how I love reading those flawed, flawed arguments.

    I'm disappointed there is no "has a soul" trait for android characters.

    There's no Borg BO until release. I thought they said the liberated borg player character was a go because it's tied to the lifetime sub

    Wrong. Sorry. It's been stated many times that Borg Capts will be during headstart.

    They are tied to you sub. not a retail key from a store.

    Really? None of the FAQs on the site said anything about that. Only about the pre-order bonuses, because they are tied to a retail key. Borg captains and WoK uniforms are not tied to retail keys.

    Yeah, no preorder bonuses until the real launch is kind of a kick in the balls to all us preorderers. I'm just gonna use this weekend to grind up some nice items to trade to my real character once the game goes fully live.

    Ok, someone on the forums said this:

    You have to start a normal character first, login and THAN you have to access the c-store (under your minimap, unlock special xxx) and than you can create your borg.

    And it wasn't mentioned in the pre-order bonuses because its not one. It's a perk for getting the LTS directly from Cryp.

    The current performance of the game leads me to believe that, while there aren't any Liberated Borg BOs yet, there may indeed be Liberated Servers that are rebelling against their former masters.

    Sigh....And in game, trying to unlock the Borg Capt perk and the C-Store has the options greyed out......

    And of course theres no option to return to the char creation screen, you have to log completely out where you cant get back in. :)

    Word of Vine:
    (Cryptic_Rehpic) Lifetime subscribers: To use the playable borg, you need to create a different character, get the playable borg from the C-Store, and then you can create a new borg character. C-Store is accessible on the dropdown menu next to the minimap.
