Star trek online review11/1/2022 ![]() ![]() If all you did was play the storyline missions, you could get through it all in maybe 40-50 hours. The only problem with the storyline is that there isn’t enough of it. Yes, that is Kif Kroker as my Chief Engineer If you recognize the location, you’ll understand why. I dont want to spoil it for you, you really need to play it yourself, but I will say that there were points in the story that I was truely moved, and the scene below literally gave me goosebumps. After a brief tutorial, they really throw you right into the thick of things. And the storyline, the storyline missions are truely amazing. From planet names to weapon types, they really paid attention to the little details. Little things from all facets of Trekdom show up, like Naomi Wildman is the commander of Space Station K7 and Mackenzie Calhoun giving you PVP missions, you can even build your own Delta Flyer shuttle. It truly feels like you are in the Star Trek universe. ![]() They are fun and addicting little missions, but they are just diversions from the real meat of the game.Īnd that meat is one thing Cryptic has managed to do really really well in getting the look and feel of the Star Trek IP down. #Star trek online review series#These are a new type of “quest” added for F2P, that sort of combines materia from the Final Fantasy series (different officers give you different innate abilities) and part Pokemon (there are different levels and variety of officers to collect and trade). I was able to get to endcap running nothing but Duty Officer missions. After F2P went live (it went live early for existing members), I started a new Klingon character. #Star trek online review how to#It’s a very odd dichotomy in that you are never taught how to team at all through the story missions, but once you get endcap that is all that is expected of you.Īnd hitting endcap happens far too fast. However, once you get to endgame, the only content left is Special Task Forces (raids), which require you to team with other people. Which for me, is not a problem at all, I tend to prefer it that way. I made it all the way to max level without joining a Fleet ( STO‘s equivalent of a guild) or even teaming with another person. Its more like a “Massively Single Player” game, in that at no point, up until endgame, is there ever a need or reason to team with other players. Is it the greatest MMO out there? By no means. Well, now that its free, there are far worse time sinks out there. ![]() What are a huge Star Trek nerd’s thoughts on this, and STO in general? #Star trek online review free#Yesterday, being January 17 (17/01, see what they did there?), Star Trek Online went free to play. I played WoW for 4 years until it got to be too much of a job and my real job was interfering with it, and I was in the betas for Earth & Beyond and MultiPlayer Battletech, two other Sci Fi MMO’s that crashed and burned that no one else remembers. I’m not a huge gamer, but I’d done some MMO play before. In fact, I bought a brand new high end laptop just to play it on, and a lifetime membership before ever even playing I was so excited. So needless to say, 2 years ago when I learned they would be making an MMO based on Star Trek, I was in. So yeah, I’m kinda a huge Star Trek Nerd. ![]()
