This looks...terrible, its like going backwards 5-7 years, and the animations look 10 years old. I cant see how they believe this will work.

I may give this a try on PS4. I like Star Trek enough, but I generally tire of MMOs extremely quick.
You can ignore most of the MMO aspects of the game pretty easily. Like, you might not even realise were it not for the other people running around in maps.
I really dont normally comment about them, but there's a shit ton of just plain moronic posts in this thread regarding the game. Quite dis-heartening.
Cant wait to give this a try, been a life long fan ever since I grew up with TNG, the GOAT.
Nice to see the GOAT Sovereign class repping in the video as well.
Shame its fall tho, could do with something to dabble in every so often.

Oh, I don't know I think it's kind of funny to see people who know fuck all about what they're commenting on being smug about things.
And while I agree with your sentiments about the Sovereign, the ship in the video is an Odyssey class. A couple of years back CBS held a contest for someone to design the Enterprise F. The Odyssey is what came of it, which is why it looks so similar to the Sovereign. On a related note, I still rock a (slightly modded) Sovereign in the game, by far my favorite starfleet design.
No one asked for this.
Oh, booo, Hopefully that comes to the PC version too then.
The space combat in this was some of the best MMO combat out there at launch, and not too far behind what the best of Star Trek has to offer (it's like an action-y, hotbar based Starfleet Command, and Starfleet Command is damn good).
The ground game was garbage at launch, legitimately some of the worst stuff I've ever had the misfortune to play, but even that's meant to have improved over the years.
Also, it's free. If you give even half a fuck about Start trek it's at least worth your time to give it a shot.
Does this still have an audience on pc?
Do they still use those VO's with Leonard Nimoy? I don't know if I want those to stay or not. Every time it happens, I'm simultaneously very happy and very sad. It's certainly distracting from the game I'm playing though.
That's not the Sovereign class, that's the fan-designed Enterprise-F (Odyssey class)
That's horrible. Way too organic-looking. Sovereign was GOAT - sleek yet purposeful.
I played a bit during the PC beta. It was decent, but I fear this is just a way of scraping the last bit of money from a dying MMO.
Seems odd, legit the only thing I've ever heard about it is that Jeff Gertsmann has mentioned a few times that he has a life time sub to it. Is it EVE knock off or something?
The concept of releasing an MMO on a console has always seemed odd to me. Anyone who enjoys an MMO plays nothing else but that game. If I was sony or Microsoft id keep MMOs as far away from my system as possible. Buying just one game in 3 years would kinda be disappointing as an attach rate.
Odyssey class has grown on me over time. My favourite Cryptic design is still the Jupiter class carrier though:

I assume they kept those in. Why would they remove his work ? It's a great way to remember him and it'd be terrible to replace his lines. Do you want every well known VO to be redone or remove when their actors dies ? That seems so alien to me.
Near, love Star Trek, and F2P makes it a guaranteed try at least.
What's the bulk of the gameplay involve though? Do you get to do mostly exploration, story/character driven quests and science stuff, or is it more gameified, run and gun third person shooting and grinding?
*Busts you down to Ensign, sticks you in a Runabout, transports it to the Delta Quadrant*No one asked for this.
The ratio of saucer to stardrive section size is all wrong on the Odyssey. It's way too fat underneath.
That Jupiter looks pretty cool, but might have benefitted from 4 nacelles, rather than 2.
No one asked for this.
Also, y'all gotta stop using platform specific blogs for news.

OP almost exclusively makes threads for Playstation blog posts. I think maybe he works there tbh. He's made 3 PSN blog threads today and a ps4 "spring montage" YT link thread.
