Startrek Online, a replacement for EVE Online?

Startrek Online is an upcoming MMORPG which will take place in Startrek universe. It was first announced quite a while ago, in 2004. Meanwhile Perpetual Entertainment that was developing the game went bankrupt in 2008. Cryptic Studios picked it up and Atari put the game in their financial report¹ expecting a release date by March 31, 2010.

In the game you will become a spaceship captain with few predefined races, Human, Klingon, Vulcan, Orion² and Gorn. They also promised a race editor where you can create your own race.

Screen shots do look promising, so we are wondering if  Star Trek Online can become something that will measure up to Eve Online?
