Star Trek Online Begins

I haven’t posted any Star Trek Online news in awhile but that certainly doesn’t mean I lost interest in the game. Despite its negative aspects and mediocre reviews I still think the game has potential to be fun and from what I saw so far, it certainly does.

While there’s some stuff which is a bit confusing for me I seem to be getting the hang of it pretty fast. The game isn’t all that complex to tell the truth but is slightly different than from most other MMOs I tried. For now I’m sticking to Federation faction even though I can unlock Klingons (requires level 6).

The most confusing stuff about STO to me are skills, skill points, captains skills, bridge officers etc. I’m still confused as to how exactly it all works, despite reading a pretty good strategy guide which explains all that. There’s just too many abilities you need to keep track of and from what I hear you can’t max out all of them which is a shame. Anyway, I really don’t have anything useful to post for except to say I apparently messed up with traits (according to the guide at least). We’ll just have to see how it works out.

So far, my first impressions are for the most part positive and it would appear Cryptic didn’t mess up the game entirely. I’d love to suggest a few features to them but I won’t bother wasting time since most MMO developers don’t really give a crap about what people think. In the end, I just hope players will stick with STO, especially because it’s biggest competitor — Eve Online, sucks.
