So guys, there's this website

http://www.startrekonline.com/

Apparently they're really doing this.

I kind of want to think this is cool or exciting or whatever. I was just thinking recently that that's something that hasn't been mined yet and it would be cool to be able to be some civilian dude and, like, run Quark's or something.

Then I read this on the main page:

"You Are the Captain: Command your own starship as a Federation Captain or a Klingon Warrior."

Dammit, this is just going to be another shitty Star Trek property game, isn't it?

    Yeah. I was hoping you'd be in a ship having to do menial tasks and shit.

    The first thing I would have done is try to cause a warp core breach by urinating in the coolant systems.

    space station 13

    I tried playing that. The GUI was too much for me. The most I did was fill a room with toxic gas.

    but couldnt the whole captain thing be pretty flexible?

    like you could just park the ship somewhere and something something sell shit?
    or be a crappy nobody within a fleet?
