    Pretty neat. Saves me the trouble of double clicking to start an emulator.

    The turnaround in this game from 'possibly vapourware' to 'Launch' is distressingly fast.

    Maybe I just haven't been keeping up with the news on this, but it seems like people were still in the speculation-on-gameplay stage. And I'm pretty sure the movie had something to do with suddenly hammering it out the door.

    Which... to me signals that it's probably rushed to get out and not so great. Given the launch of Champions Online, I'm even more skeptical.

    Wait and see.

    "of their own accord" Really Fahey, another MW2 reference?

    Also, I want a Captain Picard RPG.

    I quite liked what they were doing with the space combat, that video they released earlier this week got me quite interested.

    I've not seen a lot about the ground based stuff however, and what I have seen was a bit meh, unfortunately. At least there's going to be a public beta so I can try out and see what I like.

    You should see the crap storm going on in both the CO and STO forums regarding getting in to the beta.

    Crazy what people will do / pay for beta testing a game.

    @MrBounce: No kidding.

    They had a writing contest for a slot in the closed beta, way back during summer. I entered a piece - didn't think it was too shabby, but of course it didn't win.

    And then the forums went berserk. The winner of the contest broke the word limit, and the folks on the forum wanted blood.

    It was ugly.

    Eh... looks like they've fallen prey to the same mistake of most Trek games (as I suspected by one of the previous posts here), which is that the battles are too fast and the ships all handle like fighter jets. Absolutely no strategy involved, and not much in the way of tactics either. Just blast away until the other guy blows up, which seems to take about five seconds. Sorry, that's just not Star Trek. There's a place for games like that, but the Star Trek universe isn't it. #startrekonline

    @badasscat: Having played Bridge Commander and a few other ST games that are "slower" I can say they would translate poorly into an MMO game. Espically if your going for the customization that the game is reaching for, having upgrading all ur shit would mean instant win when it comes to a slower paced game from what i could imagine. #startrekonline

    I'm surprised there isn't more fan complaint for a Star Trek media product. Say what you will about gamers, but Trekkers are insanely more picky and always want more, more, more! ...despite how much they love to complain about their franchise is dying. #startrekonline

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: I agree, I get embarrased myself when I hear some things the avid Trekkies say. I love Star Trek (the shows and the movies, including the new one). But I *hate* the die-hards who wanted stupid things like saying JJ Adrams should've had the new Enterprise bridge looks EXACTLY as it did in the 1960s. Barf. #startrekonline

    Hrm, I didn't think there was confirmation of the Borg being involved (based on the last article I read). Seeing a Borg cube seems to be a pretty good indicator.

    Edit: Here it is, found it: [kotaku.com]

    "...and that canon things like the Borg might show up."
