Calling All Red-Shirts

Coming soon, Star Trek online with the most articulate forehead ridge creator ever.

In your face Tiger Woods!

Wear red and you'll probably die.

Awesome Cant wait for it.

This will probably be a tie-in with the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie due for release later this year; and we all know how awesome tie-in games are!

Myself, despite being a Trek fan, will not buy an MMO.  MMOs are weak.  What's the point?  Literally, what is the point?  At what point can you say, 'I have finished this game', or, 'I have bested my online opponents'.  Games like WOW just take all the fun out of games and leave only the addictive elements.

What this game needs more than anything is forehead ridge and skin color customization.

You could select from a variety of presets, representing alien races of Star Trek past, or create and name entirely new races, with entirely unique forehead ridges!

There are no shortage of good MMO ideas out there, the issue seems to be execution.

Well, from what I've heared (and seen) it does seem like the've dropped the idea that you can get your friends/guild/whatever together and crew one ship which was the thing I've wanted to see for a long, long time.

Right now, it only seem to be like Pirates of the Burning Sea but in space...

im all for it! i waited for Perpetuals game and was majorly dissapointed that they canceled, now im stoked its on rails again and i hope as hell this one will make it and be good too

I don't see any screens of the inside of a ship.  I wonder if you'll be able to explore you're starship as well.

Resistance is Futile......Today is a good day to die....Damn it Jim I'm a Doctor not I'm a.... This is highly Illogical....Fascinating....Tea Earl Gray, Hot!...Engage...Qaplah!!!...

Sorry all just practicing ;-)

well, in the Sea of MMO's already out. Lets hope that inter galactic combat will set this one apart... that is... unless GALAXY OF STARCRAFT comes out!!! wooo... ok thats not gonna happen.

This could be 1 MMO that I could actually get into if it is worth playing....!

I cant wait this is a guarenteed buy for me.

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS

Coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 too

I really don't enjoy many MMORPG's like EVE: online but I am really willing to give a Star trek based MMO a try.

Too much to resist, but if you choose the Red shirt class your basically doomed right?

I wonder if they'll have a whole wing to the consumer relations department that will just take care of people complaining about series continuity and canon adherence....  *shudders*

KKKKAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds cool! I will only buy it if I don't have to pay a monthley fee.

The only nerdier thing they could release would be "Forum-Kid-MMO". Seriously Star Trek and MMOs are a match made in heaven.

I expect many many many "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!" jokes while playing this game.

I was following this back when Perpetual were working on it, but I didn't exactly have high hopes, although they did have some pretty neat ideas.  Cryptic are at least a developer I think we can trust, so it'll be interesting to see how this works out.  Apparantly, they're going to be showing a lot of the game off at the Star Trek convention in August.

If it turns out to be good, this is one MMO I wouldn't mind paying the monthly fee for.

sfi fantasy but not cartoony, this could be interesting

I find myself at a turning point. Do I call Brad on his mistake, and be revealed as the hopeless nerd I am, or do I leave it and feel a kind of shame... hmm... oh what the hell, you only live once. You spell it Qo'noS not Kronos.

Oh jeez I feel so dirty.

I would have prefered, if you would play as a crew member, rather than the captain of the entire ship. You could starte as an ensign, attend Academy, get assigned to a ship and level up to become a commanding officer. There could be plenty of chorse to tread the grindmill aboard the ship as well as on landing missions.
You could even have instances, where your ship is in a battle, and depending on your position you'd maybe had to repair something on the ship, fight of intruders, board the enemy ship, and so on.

That would have been awesome ...

I am a huge Star Trek-fan, and I am still looking forward to this one. Especially as it's eventually coming to X360. But I am not stoked about, what's been revealed so far....

You can see why  a number of companies have tried and failed with it. It is a big IP, massive in fact and an mmo of this would be massive and Brad is right in regard to just how you go with it but you got so many good options what do you go for?

For me they have to have some form of levelling, if your federation through the academy etc. For me what would work is guilds would form but your guild leader is your captain but as a guild you would have to prove yourself ( a bit like how guilds will work in WAR) and then get your ship. If a Klingon this could be through combat trials etc, federation would be missions of some sort and then if the guild completes this they get hold of a ship but then of course you take orders and to keep the ship and your rank or more you got to do missions etc. The big wigs of the federation would be the game developers / npc's. And I think I would like to see you be able to go rogue and get your own ship, kit it out how you want and do what you want. Of course you may not get say the cheap or free upgrades as you would in the federation but then you would not have to do regular missions to keep them but then you could do raids.
There has to be planets for away missions, starbases you can go in and commerce etc and there has to be ship to ship battles and then full inside ship moddles and if the shields are down you should be able to board things.
Some races should be there but not playable, the borg for example could be about and appear now and again, say trying to attack earth with a cube where people have to mass to attack them. See a sphere? You could try boarding it and die a lot....

A million and one cool things you could do to make it good but your most likely going to get all the easy and less interesting stuff done.

I'm with you Brad, while I never touched WoW for those reasons, this is the one MMORPG I would ever think of touching. I can't wait to see what they do! They should take some lessons from EVE Online to see what works there and what could be improved and how they can adapt it to a Star Trek friendly concept.

It'll be interesting to see how this works out. Another similar MMO is of course Stargate Worlds - less starships, but still having existing military like heirarchies and being based around space exploration. Of course, Trek Online has the potential to reach an even bigger fanbase than SGW, then again... look at Star Wars Galaxies...[cliché] the bigger they come, the harder they fall. [/cliché]

Here's hoping it doesn't suck!

I have high hopes for this game, the potential for greatness is very high. It seems that space combat will play a major part in the game, hopefully there are PVP servers where you can participate in large battles. I'm also curious as to what races will be playable in the game. Sure there will be the Federation but what else? Would anyone else be interested in playing as the Borg? I' am, it would be a very unique experience.

I just want more Bridge Commander. That game with some Mass Effect on-foot action would pretty much be the ultimate star trek game. 

KAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHNN!

Man oh man, this is the MMORPG I've waited for all my life! It'll be bigger than Jesus!

Speaking of J, when is someone gonna make a Bible MMO? I call dibs on Pontius Pilate!

I wonder if they will use sort level up style use in starfelt academy  game. Where you start of with one of the low class ships and work your way to a ship the size of the enterprise by completing missions.

 The star base looks ok.

Long Live The Redshirts!!

Well lets wait until we see the real gameplay until we pass judgement.

I am staying far away from mmorpgs.

Move over, Jesus, there's a new resurrection in town!

LFG THE MOON!

I forgot to mention that I totally watched through 5 seasons of DS9 during the GB launch. Definitely fav show of the franchise.

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!!

fI this game is good my life is over.

Did it say what time period it will be in? I hope it's during TNG and DS9.

Hmm.. one problem is how wil they handle all the history and the material. Will you be able to travel all over the known univers in Star Trek? I mean, how can they justify quests where you go to war? I know, I'm a fanboy.. but in Star Trek, you can't use kill someone or destroy something. It is not how it works. Do they really want to open a Federation-Klingon-Romulan conflict again? Or invent new evil races? 

LFG Mobster Planet need healer

I think every guild should have their spaceships and their tabards will be their uniforms
In my opinion....

I'm a loyal redshirt here for you!

*Foil1212 Dies*

Fuck...

Will star trek every finally die?

i find Star Trek too "geeky" for me.
the people who love it really love it

Aparently you can choose to be with the Klingons flying BoPs or with the Federation. And that there will be gameplay footage on August 10 so can't wait for that =D

Shoot... I LOVE ME SOME STAR TREK, but I hate the fact that it's going to be an MMO... (I just don't have enough time for those)... It's been YEARS since a decent ST game (Or movie, for that matter, but JJ might take care of that next year)... I SO WANTED Star Trek Legacy to be a cool space battle simulator, but it sucked in 5 different dimensions, I think... Anyway, I will keep an eye out for this...
