Star Trek Online

Not open for further replies.
After playing some L4D2 last night, Steam popped up their latest "special" which was a pre-order for the Star Trek Online (henceforth known as STO). My eyes opened wide as I didn't know it was so close to completion and it seems it'll be unlocked at the end of the month.

Has anyone been accepted in the beta? Has anyone played the game? I'd like to hear your opinion!
Is anyone getting this game? Will it be any good?

Discuss.

Well I applied for the beta but haven't gotten an invite yet. I'm hoping for the open beta to at least try it out.
STO looks like an mmo I could get into but I haven't been able to find any gameplay videos. It's on my watched
game list. Depending on reviews I will most likely delve into STO.
 
That's the same story with me. No gameplay vids... no beta invite. There better be an open beta, that's for sure.

I don't think I'll bite unless I actually play this game.

Unfortunately, it's bad. The voice acting is just horrible, the combat is uninteresting and the ships? Oh my god it's so slow. Maybe it'll get better much further in, but I'm not buying this game. I'll wait for ORO.

OMG it's ACCURRATE!! (minus the voice acting).

I've been strongly tempted to pre-order this and build a PC that can play it.

Not anymore son... now Star Trek is about collapse-able swords and non stop action.
 
Of course the question is can the stuff that make it lame be adjusted or are they too ingrained in the existing system?
 
I just want to play a good Star Trek game. If I wind up playing this game I'm definitely getting on an RP server. Mostly for the less inane population that usually goes to them.

I sign up for beta but didn't get invited. I did pre-order to give this a whirl. I am a Star Trek fan so hoping this might be pretty good. (IMO) the only reason I pre-order for the electronic goodies :)

which pre-order did you go with?
The deluxe edition. I usually don't do it for some MMO, but I really love Star Trek and I'm hoping it is good ;) yea.. fanboy in me said go with it.

edit: I got the Steam version cause I want to name my ship with NX series :) and the new uniform looks HOT!
 
I love Star Trek too, but how does it become an MMO? I can see the pure flight aspect ala EVE, but away team based? "Go to the Klingon Space and kill 15 Klingon captain to get 12 holodeck rations"?

I am figuring the quest might be "limited" but it looks like it has potential. I'll give a better perspective if they ever let me in and play :) (I applied months ago)
 
well, I guess we won't know til someone can report on how it works as an mmo.

I seem to recall someone saying not to judge a new mmo until it's been out 6 months ;)
 
You're right, hence why I've said nothing positive or negative towards it. I'm simply curious as to the mechanics.

well... if they follow the show what kind of stuff you have?

Colony A is in trouble need help
Away team go
question/research the area
possible conflict (some sort of fight)
resolution
mission over

similar for space too if you think about it, but how often can you have Klingon attack, Borg attack and such.

But I figure since we have science vessel you might do escort missions, transport of goods/people, protect borders? (Eve style?) I'm just stoke. The potential is there I just hope they will tap into all of that.

I got my open beta key today. Paid $7 for it but eh, its cheaper than a pre order in some places. On the plus side my dl speeds will be 1.5g/sec so 8 gigs in 2 hours is nice
