Star Trek Online – Characters and Space Combat

Image via Wikipedia

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.

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.

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. 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.

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

Trailering review of Terminator Salvation

“Judgment Day happened.” is a response Marcus Wright, played by Sam Worthington, gets from a kid named Kyle Reese, portraied by Mr. Chekov from the new Star Trek – Anton Yelchin, a future father of John Connor, played by American psyco Christian Bale.

Story is set in post nuclear future. It is the year 2018. Skynet, a sentient and self-aware artificial intelligence, nuked human race to save itself from possible destruction and it almost succeed. But humans are resilient. Resistance fighters pop up everywhere around the globe. People of Earth are united against a common enemy – machines. And they just started to mount resistance, which has a good chance of succeeding, if …

Movie was directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol better known as McG¹ . It has all the elements of a good action flick and some tender moments, good sci-fi background with interesting CGI effects. Movie fits well in Terminator storyline.

Pure 6 of 10. Can’t give it much more than that.

Good movie to spend the night with friends if you don’t have anything better to do. What the movie lacks is a good cameo appearance of Governator, more story details, some more feelings and a foreseeable end of the saga which might happen in Terminator 5. Or will it? Anyway trailer just for you.
