I think the Klingons are only for PvP though?

FYI, Klingons are playable from what I heard from closed beta testers, mainly for pvp combat, also the ship combat I’m looking forward to due to being a huge SFC fan, still play it to this day. (Sucks that Interplay went down) And btw, Picard from what I heard hasn’t been seen on any ship, but he might be an Admiral by now so is probably stationed SFH in San Fran by then.

Not cautious enough. *rimshot*

Though, that sludge monster *was* just capricious. (I can only hope that the devs aren’t of that mindset.) Maybe it could work in Darkfall (”hah, I keel u!”)…

LOL! I did wonder if that reference was too obscure
I’m looking forward to it too but I’m approaching it cautiously, like Tasha Yar approaching Armus

Me too. It was kinda jarring in SWG.

To me, MMORPGs will always be about the 3rd person avatar gameplay. Not sure how I feel about playing with a ship. Seems to much like a flight simulator to me

Yeah, it’s a little worrying isn’t it, especially the Klingon thing…

High Five!

I’m looking forward to the game, if only to see what they do with it. I never watched Nemesis, and Trek has fallen a bit out of favor in my home, but if they can capture the magic (er, technology?) of the IP, I’ll give it a whirl.

Watching some of the dev timeline stuff, it does feel a little uncomfortably like Warcraft In Space, since they apparently needed to stir up some wars to keep things interesting. That’s never been what Trek was about.

So, like the most recent Star Trek movie, it may be fun, but ultimately loud, vapid and not the Trek I’m looking for. *shrug*

Space combat worries me too but it’s not real big on my mind yet. I’m disappointed to hear about the klingon thing. That seems kind of like a copout that saves them having to create extra content. Color me let down
