Bit of a bump on this one
Is anyone playing and hopefully enjoying this? Looking at buying after playing the demo It actually has me quite hooked with the ship upgrades/away team weapons etc plus the loot....

I shall give the quick run down... since I feel dirty when I think about it.

Now I am a huge Startrek Fan... So huge actually that I will even wear my Startrek Online T-Shirt in public. But that is where the love stops... STO is not Startrek...

Was a member for a about 2 months. So here is STO:

-They might as well have made it a single player game
-Everything and I mean everything is Instance based, missions confrontations ens ens...
-Their is no sense of exploration, everything is basically going from point A to point B to find C and get D.
-PVP is a joke
-Space is not open you can't do what you want like with EVE. (EVE has this sandbox which gives a feeling that space is HUGE, STO does not.)
-I can't fly around in space and engage hostile faction players when they fly in my factions territory. (You can only FIGHT other players in PVP)
-Social enagement in STO is limited to bases and chat rooms in space which kind of look odd when you have a couple of Sovareign Class Starships parked around each other.
-Game Content severely lacking

As a result the game basicly becomes an endless array of WTF's and mission after mission which is a rehash of the previous ones. There were a few missions that I really enjoyed which made me remember the good old days of the original Star Trek but those are few and far between.

Personally if I find X3-Terran Conflict more interesting so if your are looking for a Space Based MMO... EVE really is the ONLY and I mean ONLY things worth spending money on.

So in short... save your cash with STO, unless they change the way space travel works... I aint going back. Cryptic killed STO online big time... So it's back to waiting for Star Wars - The Old Republic.
