Star Trek Online?
« on: November 22, 2009, 08:18:06 AM »
Anybody here planning to check it out?   They are currently asking for beta players-release date is Feb 2010.

This has been a loong long wait.  I grew up with the original TV series, and took turns anticipating and suffering through many of the movies.   STO is the first MMOG to come along that looks like it could challenge my AH addiction.   I don't think I'm a true ST-geek (I mean trekkie) but I think I'd like to give it a try - as long as its more than just ship to ship combat.   The developers do promise exploration and diplomacy in addition to combat.

If they offer a two week free trial I'll probably give it a try.

Yeah, I think I'll be checking it out.  The quest mix of space combat and away missions sounds intriguing, but am a little worried that it might turn out to be like Champions Online, all hype.

Definitely awaiting this one.  Always been a fan of the space-based genre, mix it with some trek and I'm on board.  I too hope they have some sort of trial period though.  Nothing worse than blowing a chunk of change on a game that loses it's punch after 3 days of play.

I hope it has a better space-based combat system than SW:O, because the handling of the fighters really put me off. Maybe people will be able to control various weapon banks on a communal ship?

It's being develops by a company named Cheyanne Mountain but close to closing their doors due to lack of funds.  On top of that, the president of the company has been accused and being investigated for financial misdealings.

Looks very cool!  I would sign up but I don't even have time to play AH much anymore.
