There wont be borg, hell there wont be klingons, Romulans, carddassians, etc you know, all the good races.
Its vulcans, trill, humans and two obscure races, one of which only made a few appearances, the other I dont ever know what the heck that it.
You cant get your own ship, starfleet gives it to you and you dont even get to name it. Cant say I want a galaxy class star ship to cruise around the galxay. Nope, you take what your given.
Ship populations will supposivly be the same as the ones in the shows. So you know the galaxy class ships (The enterprise from next gen) well it could hold around 1,000 people at any given time, good luck getting that number into a single ship, let alone not have choking lag.
And if you think the ST community is accepting this with open arms your mistaken, everyone that I have talked to is completely hostile to STO.
1. You can only be in starfleet at launch, who wants that?!
2. Races: Vulcan, Bolian, Human, Trill, Bajoran, Andorian, Tellarite <---I dont even know what a Tellarite is!
3.
We expect to give players considerable freedom to explore space and discover the unknown. However the primary motivator of player experience will be Starfleet directed missions.
So bye bye to any hope of just free play, your in starfleet now soldier!
4. Will there be an economy? For those that dont know, there is no money in the star trek future, none atleast that starfleet and the federation has.
Trust me on this, STO is a doomed project, the established community for Star Trek is hostile to it's concept. IF you have to get this game, wait 3 months after launch to determine if its even got a decent player back.
No more Borg because Admiral Jayneway has screwed it up for them (In Voyager) and thanks to the amazing (but rather attractive) Seven of Nine, has prevented Borg invasion etc etc.
With minions at the helm! I say Hell yeah!!!

Hmm, Lag city lol
I bet the ship mission base will be that of Bridge Commander. That was ok, but kinda sucked.
Honestly, I'm interested, might just sign up for it's beta. I think everyone's worry about lag is a bit excessive - everyone's just been traumatized by Mxo's record-breaking lag and choppyness. Most games don't have the same issues. I've played Lineage 2 before and had hundreds of people in a small area with no significant lag. It's perfectly possible to have a huge player base and no lag problem, SOE simply chooses not to rectify these problems in Mxo - most likely due to money, and therefore, without the powerhouse servers native to other MMOs. In any case, I'm a huge trekkie and will definitely give it a shot.
A year later... still no updates to speak of:

They finally added a gallery... like that will do any good.
LOL
Sounds like another Eve Online. If you can't actually beam down to the planet and do mission with a team of people where is the new Game Player to attract users?
If you can't play races opposing the federation either
Dark Age of Camelot while old by most standards still to this day has the best forumla for pvp in my opinion.
This forumla wins in my opinion. STO would be ripe for it Feds vs Kling vs Rom vs Card vs Ect.
well, Im a TNG trekie, been keeping up with STO for a LONG time now, and i will definitly give it a chance no matter what.
I play MxO becasue im a fan, not becasue i like MMOs
I will do the same for STO
But yes, they REALLY should allow you to go many diffret races/sides. But not borg. If anyone went borg they would tottal ruin the characters.
Only 2 borg have ever had personalitys, Hue, and the Borg Queen, (7of9 doesnt count, shes stupid and voyager was teh gh ey)
Also they better put Q in the game

Where did you snag that from? Did a dev post it on teh boards over there?Launching an MMO is like giving birth to a 15lb baby.

Time will tell if its a smart move.
I'd say that Trek will be more lucrative... as long as they do it right.Launching an MMO is like giving birth to a 15lb baby.

But if they get it wrong the company you work for can swoop in and pick up the pieces, right?Launching an MMO is like giving birth to a 15lb baby.

No one is going to want to play as The Dominion, It makes sense to have them, but honestly, who wants to fight for those guys. Another mystery to me is, how will things work with other empires? Starfleet are the explorers, The rest or more like conqurers.Oh I'm sure that there are some people who would, just like any game where people wanna play the bad guys! I also agree with Arch about the look of the characters, a bit too cartoony or perhaps a little simple, although the customisation sounds good... apart from the bit about you being able to put decals on your ship. I can just imagine the Defiant class ships being the boy racer type ships with flaming graphics down the side... don't wanna see that happen! Nacells, Saucer sections yeah (I liked that one that looked almost like a pretzle) but not mad colouring... ugh...

Since we are all MXO players, maybe we should create our own Faction.... like Matrix United or MXO Federation.. That's if we can make factions.... what do you all think?
I think your WAY late on that idea.... click on my sigSince we are all MXO players, maybe we should create our own Faction.... like Matrix United or MXO Federation.. That's if we can make factions.... what do you all think?

since we are working with Star Fleet^^ heheWelp, at least he came out and said it.
"I can tell you that one of the lessons we learned at Cryptic, was that World of Warcraft was an amazing game. And one of the amazing features is that it could run on just about anything."
Every MMO strives to be like World Of Warcraft in one way or another, sadly.
The creative director from the webcast reminds me of Rarebit, lol.
I thought you said you were an MxO exclusive...Ah, I said Vinia is a MxO exclusive. I'll probably have a different persona in ST:O
