gettin' from there to heeere
I had to get past my own preconceptions of what a Star Trek MMO should be, but once I did it's pretty sweet
Besides, beaming down and fistfighting dudes on a planet is a totally Star Trekian thing to do

Perpetual had a great plan for this game, and a great looking engine, and they had to go and get bankrupt so instead you get City of Heroes in Space.
so its not very good?
if I had a champions subscription for some silly reason, I'd recreate it just to be a dick to cryptic
It's pretty radically different from City of Heroes
But I'm certain Perpetual's plans would have been a lot more imaginative
It would be hard not to be compared to this game, really

But I have read previews that suggest that the overall gameplay concepts are tremendously watered down in comparison to what people expected under Perpetual. And to me, that doesn't really even matter either.
My whole thing is that Star Trek is about the crew of dudes working together on the bridge to do some cool shit. A MMO is the first real opportunity they've had to really diversify out the roles of players so that you can have capital ship combat in a multi-crewed scenario. It may not have been that good, it might have flopped, but at least it would have tried the concept to see what worked and what didn't.
And as soon as Cryptic took over, they immediately announce: "YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN!" and put out this whole thing about how every player will get his own ship, like it's a mount or something. And besides ruining the opportunity of interesting gameplay experimentation, that also doesn't fit in with the setting.
Long story short, I'm bitter because they didn't make exactly the game I wanted.
why isnt everyone playing that
Boy was my face red when it really turned out that he WAS a shapechanger.
Joe, click the link in the OP and there's a link in there that lists places giving out beta keys.
Then you get to the transporter room and meet the rest of your away team.
You and me, man.
One day though, I will make a Silent Hunter MMO where uboats are player crewed.
It will be the most boring game ever.
Yea, this game looks ace already.
Sonarman.
14 real time hours with headphones listening for pings. Hour 8 you hear a whale. You then eat at the mess and sleep for 6 hours before your next shift.
That actually sounds fun to me though.
Or torpedo man! Better have pen and paper ready for some trig!
Can you beam down to a planet with primitive life forms and fuck the ever living shit out of them?
That sounds like the worst job in the navy.
Scanned for lifesigns
Solved a labour dispute
Shot the shit out of Klingons
Got lost in a sandstorm
Beamed out again.
This is exactly how I felt as well
And I still think that would be the ideal way to do a Star Trek MMO
But this really isn't bad, once you get past all that

Then you'll see why it'd never work. Unless the point of the game is to survive long enough to get to the escape pods before the station blows up.
And they have abilities that can be used in space combat and ground combat
That is something that I appreciate

Space Station 13 is one of the worst designed games I've ever played.
(Okay I just hit the random alien button on them)
oh no we are going to all die nooooooooo
Also Romulan I think
But only Federation in the open beta for now
