The blessing and the curse of this game is that Star Trek, the series about travelling through space and making first contact with new forms of life, doesn’t cram easily into the template of a normal MMO. Star Trek is not about independent heroes, it’s about close-knit crews with five main characters. It’s not about shooting things in spaceships or exploring on the ground: it’s about both.
Amidst the blaring siren of a new Star Wars MMO (The Old Republic), you could be forgiven for overlooking the emergence of the first details of Star Trek Online. Cryptic Studios, of City of Heroes fame, helm this highly anticipated stellar venture, which means that at the very least we’ll be able to fiddle with a Play-Doh Klingon’s face until it looks just the way we want it.
