Cryptic Planning to Open Up Star Trek Online Ships

Written by from on February 15th, 2010 | 0 Comments

Star Trek Online allows you to captain your own starship, but what that ship looks like on the inside is mostly up to your imagination. At the moment, it’s only possible to visit the bridge. That may be changing in the future though. “Anything we can do to make the game feel even more like Star Trek is something we want to do. So, definitely, we want to give people more of their ship,” executive producer Craig Zinkievich told IncGamers . “This is one of those things we want to get perfect before introducing it to players, though. It’s going to be an undertaking.”

Star Trek Online Review

Written by from on February 12th, 2010 | 0 Comments

Gene Roddenberry is probably spinning in his grave thinking about Star Trek Online . The man, affectionately referred to as “The Great Bird of the Galaxy,” famously opposed the franchise’s shift toward emphasizing space action in the 1980s, loudly insisting that the Star Trek was not “Horatio Hornblower in space.” Cryptic would seem to disagree. The team put as much emphasis on space combat as possible on their new MMORPG; the galaxy is at war, and with seemingly every major Trek villain out for blood, the Federation is struggling just to stay afloat. As you might expect, that sort of setting provides ample opportunities to mix it up in your starship, and indeed you’ll spend much of your time doing just that. Old-school fans may be disappointed by the relative lack of Trek fundamentals, like diplomacy and “boldly going where no one has gone before,” but it’s hard to deny how fun Cryptic has made it to lock Phasers and Photon Torpedoes and let ‘em rip.

If you find yourself enjoying the Star Trek Online open beta that just recently kicked off, you may want to get in on the lifetime subscription offer that Atari is offering for a limited time. Anyone who pre-orders a copy of STO will be eligible to sign up for either a $240 lifetime subscription or a $120 per year annual subscription. Either way, you’ll end up saving money if you plan to play the game long term — plus, you’ll also get some unique bonuses. Annual subscribers, in addition to the discount of roughly $60 per year (you’d be paying $180 each year if you go the $15 per month route), will get two additional character slots. Lifetime subscribers will get the two additional character slots and, more significantly, a playable Borg race. Of course, this comes at a hefty upfront fee of $240 (which works out to the same amount you’d pay over the course of 16 months at the usual $15/month price). The Liberated Borg begins with the following two traits: Borg Nanites: +10% Health RegenerationDescription: Ground Trait. Constantly regenerates shields and health.
