Star Trek Online – Exploration with a touch of epic space battles?!?
Previously questioned by BigWhale, now we all are beginning to wonder if Star Trek Online will replace Eve Online? Final revelation will be known when beta testing is opened to public. Discovery is scheduled to commence on January 12th and close on January 26th.
We know, so far, that Star Trek Online will not be ONLY about space battles. Players will also be able to experience exploration, diplomacy, star ship crew micro management, ship upgrades and more. Although some reports from closed beta test mention only space battles we hope that this means that closed beta tests were focusing on space battles and space battle systems while open beta test will expand to ‘Space the final frontier … ‘.
With the end of closed beta test, Cryptic studios also announced the names chosen for Tier 5 Starships. They are:
- Emissary class for Tier 5 Cruisers
- Dervish class for Tier 5 fleet Escorts
- Destiny class for Tier 5 Science Vessels
The following video shows how will exploration look in the Star Trek Online.
UPDATE: We successfully downloaded installed and played the open beta. It looks quite nice, the interface is something that you will have to get used to. Still there are few bugs and glitches here and there.
