I’m tempted. I love star trek, but maybe will see how it or Star Wars goes as an alternative to Cataclysm in six months. I expect I’ll play neither.

I’m in the closed beta, pre-ordering soon as I make up my mind which package, as primarily a PvE player in EVE STO is likely to become my new space game.

I’m looking forward to STO as a Trekker. I have no idea if I’ll make it past the free 30 days, but I’m going to give it a try.

Pre-ordered because it was only £18 on Amazon and that’s a price point I’m happy to part with to give it a try during the free month. I’m also waiting to see the results of their “Name a Starship” contest which should be announced today and yet nothing has come out so far…. it’s been the 8th for a fair fwe hours people, I don’t care what other time zone you are in let me see if I won.

Wotcha Spinks,
I’m with Arbitrary on this one.
If it’s amazing, then it will still be amazing a month or so after launch, at which point I’ll get it.
I can be patient; getting into the Open Beta just isn’t worth the hassle.
Cheers,
Hawley.

Given the Champions launch patch debacle, my concern for this game is that they’ve decided that a mediocre ST game will cost way less to make than a good ST game, and that they can make up the lost revenue by selling in-game tribbles and other items to the diehard Trekkies.

I have been unimpressed thus far and hate the pre order bonuses with a passion.

I am, I’m in closed beta at the moment. It’s reasonably fun, and reasonably entertaining. I can’t say more (or less) than that. If it were excellent I could not gush about it, nor if it were crap could I dump on it from a height.
The problem is that Cryptic now have 2 games to work on and update. The fear is that they’ll spread themselves too thin and both games will suffer, or they’ll focus on one and the other will suffer.

Longevity is key to an MMO. There’s enough been released by the press to show there is alot of potential in the game. Cryptic are best when they’re making Procedurally generated content and should play to that strength. It would work well in STO as far flung unknown star systems, species and alien space craft. My hopes for the future of STO is that it becomes like a more mature version of Spores Galactic Stage (in terms of random content atleast)
