Star Trek Online?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I am thinking about buying Star Trek online but I heard that it was terrible. I want to play it because it is Star Trek and I have not decided if it is fun to play or not. I would like to know from people who have played it before. Has anyone played the game before in there life?

 

I am thinking about playing it but I don't know. I also am thinking about playing Star trek Supremacy (BOFTF2) and Star trek infinite space. But I think that most star trek games are terrible but I hope some of the ones from thte fans are better than the actuall producers.

STO is fun for the first 50 hours then it gets really really boring. It is so far below the potential of Star Trek that it's not even worth bothering with.

Incredibly short and repetitive game, too many glitches and game issues, I maxed my character out in less than a month and quit cause of the boredom, very few ships, and pvp is horrible i rate it a 3/10, 3 points cause the graphics looked good

Well at least there is one good thing about it.

Well.... note:

1: Complaints about bugs are less applicable since they've fixed a lot of them.
2: A lot of new ships has been added.
3: Content is expanding continuously.

One of the interesting features when I played last time was their weekly episodes - a new mission every week, in ongoing 'mini-series'. This is a fairly novel way to do things, and it works rather well.

Ship combat is also done quite well; ground combat is a bit more lackluster but it also has some good ideas and can be challenging due to the need for mobility and planning. (If you do it 'right' it'll be fairly fast and hectic, if not you'll have excruciatingly boring slugging matches.).

You will get as much or more value for money as with any regular game out of it, especially as a Star Trek fan. What I can't guarantee is wether you like it after a month.
