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.

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.

Screenshot 10 makes me want this game. I'm a total sucker for Star Trek The Motion Picture to Star Trek 6 federation ship designs. #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."

Oh wow it's coming out sooner than I thought, which is kind of groovy. The requirements honestly aren't all that bad, higher than some mmos, but most of which have been out for years. And the parts under recommended have been out for at least 2 years so, not bad all things considered. #startrekonline

Pretty standard specs.
Though really you should be able to run it on a PADD #startrekonline

Never done an MMO before, but I love Star Trek, so depending on how pricing is done, I might have to give this a try... #startrekonline

Sounds roughly the same as Champions Online's requirements, and that game ran like molasses on my computer.

I know, I know... I need to upgrade. Stupid single core is the main thing slowing me down in modern gaming /sigh.

What can I say, I've made a big shift to consoles lately and MMOs are all that interest me in PCs these days. Mostly older ones that run fine like EQ 1/2, Eve, WAR, etc.

Maybe if my stupid student loan people weren't absorbing my tax rebates I would be able to upgrade /bitter #startrekonline

@RedThree: More like raising 3 kids off my salary alone.

I'll get to a point where I can justify a new computer in my budget, but right now, not gonna upgrade for one or two games I may be interested in for a month or so. #startrekonline
