No orion slave girls = total failure.
It's got Orion slave girls. There is an episode (quest) story line involving time traveling Klingons where you have to rescue an Orion slave girl to get some information.
It's a rather fun game I've come to find while playing the closed and open beta. Space combat is fun and surprisingly requires some tactical thought, reminds me of the ship fights from Sid Meier's Pirates! game. Ground combat is also fun but for the most part, combat is the same as in most MMOs though at a tad faster pace.
The addition of Bridge Officers that will act as your away team if you play solo is a nice feature and surprisingly, the AI away team isn't all that dumb and reacts well. My away team consisted of me, 2 engineers, science officer and another tactical officer and the engineers will set up on their own a shield and phaser turret and go around regenerating any team member's personal shield while the science officer is there with her medical tri-corder healing us as we fight. If you're grouped with other players and go on a ground mission, the away team is then filled out with the players and any empty slots filled by one of the bridge officer NPCs.
The game is also heavily instanced and isn't 'free to roam' like most other MMOs and it's also very linear in design, with little exploration outside of the exploration episodes.
Still, the space combat is enjoyable enough that I'm probably going to play this game some more when it launches next week.
