Star Trek Online was one of the more, if not the most, anticipated games1 here at Three Wise Men. That is right, we are all trekkies, we are sure that miniskirt uniforms were dropped because crawling in Jefferies Tubes could become a bit awkward. We also know that crossing replicator power converter with plasma manifold isn’t something you should do if you want to keep your plasma relays in a working order. READ MORE
We promise not to mention Star Craft 2 or make jokes about Duke Nukem Forever [↩]

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.
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. We will see many different ships that are flyable and all sorts of activities from space combat to various away missions on distant planets, everything from PvP to PvE.
