im not certain, i heard about this a while back, around E3 i think, but i think everyone gets a starship, it wont be like SWG, and i dont know if itll be like EnB or not, but im hoping itll play like Starfleet Command or whatever the hell it was called, or better yet, bridge commander, OMG that game ruled.

on a related note, preorder JTL and get in the beta at EB and Gamestop.


EDIT scratch that, it will "follow the person, not the shit"

sounds like shit to me now, mabey the ships will come in a expantion too. though, if they make it person on the ground and bridge commander in space, with alot of depth to both games, it could be cool.

The 24th century universe being brought to life by Star Trek Online will launch considerably earlier, in 2007.

Me and my friend were talking about this. This would TOTALLY PWN. Can we say: Using a Soverign-class dreadnaught to duke it out with some Romulans? Count me in.

Hell, if I could command a measly Miranda-class, I'd be happy.

It's TNG-DS9-VGR, so no Miranda probably. But There'd be the Akira, which is the SHIT!

Whaddya mean no Miranda? There's plenty of Mirandas seen in TNG and DS9.


Akira is the shit, though.

He is Worf, son of Mogg! He Now takes his place as first officer. He serves the captain but stands for the crew...


We are not worthy of his blood and name.

This could be kick ass. But I fear it will suffer the same fate as all Star Trek Games.

They suck.

Remember: they'll be able to do alot more with this game since it's coming out in 2007, i.e. hit detection, better graphics, etc. since all PCs will be alot better


It better have twitch based fighting (i.e. actually having to aim), instead of stupid RPG crap (Eve, ENB)

Also, it better let you board other people's ships, walk around in them, hijack them, etc.

AND it better have hit detection, like the ability to kill life support, engines, targeting, and whatnot.


If they do those, it'll be good, otherwise, it'll suck ass.

oh, it also better have all the hot chix that star trek always has, you know, the short skirts, or the clothing that fits like a glove :brow:

I still play BC, and mod EF2 :p.

But, you can't be a non-federation race? :(

I was wondering how long it would take them to figure out "now is the day of MMOs, let's make one." With the Star Trek fan base I all ready guarentee they'll make a killing.

Mind you, it IS coming out in 2007, so they'll have some time for adjustments. Maybe an expansion pack...

Not all Star Trek games suck.
Starfleet Academy wasn't horrible...
That's it
