I've tried to start ST:O multiple times and could never get out of the armory. Was never sure if it was just me being an idiot or some weird glitch with running it on Linux, but I could never get the rifle equipped to progress. In any other game, this would be like getting insurmountably stuck at "Press 'C' to crouch".

I just put a gaming rig together, figured I'd try ST:O one more time, and I'm finally out of the tutorial room! I think I'm still technically in the tutorial, but at least I'm actually doing stuff now.

Just beamed down to Corvan II after taking on the Klingons in obit at the start of Children of War.

I just used the same character I started forever ago on my first attempt. Wasn't even sure it was going to work this time, so didn't spend time making a new one and just jumped back in.

DSC Starfleet, Engineering specialty, on the Walker-class USS Janeway

I forgot to mention many people feel alien is the best species to take as it gives the most versatility. again though from my last post all this pales in comparison to the event and you only start getting sorta stuck with a main once you get something like a lockbox or lobi ship which is not account bound. Various events given them away but I would avoid using them till you are sure what alt will be your main. engineering is my prefered. on ground you basically want to get turrets followed by medical gen, followed by shield gen, followed by mines in the start game. end game ground has so many options. as an engineer you can see the enemy and drop medical/shield gens to the left and right and then place a turret where their circles meet forward and then if the turret does not aggro them shoot them. if thing go bad back off and get some more generators going to heal. then in space it helps with healing and adds power which is hella useful. let me know if you want any build or strategy advice for the begining game.

Appreciated. Right now I'm just happy to be playing at all. Gonna have to adjust my setup since the game UI isn't really meant to be played from 7 feet away on the couch. I tried SteamLink play to my laptop and that worked better but still not ideal. I'll get there.
