Greetings,

Best intel reports that Cryptic is developing the game.  As far as a release date, good luck.

S*D

It would be nice to have people who were Captains and Admirals have to actually earn those ranks and have progressively more complex gameplay and responsibility.  That would be a great counter to the 13 yr old "Admiral" plague that afflicts many Star Trek games, and other mmos as well (though their problem would more likely be 70th level 13 yr old).

Star Trek is a rich and complex universe, part of its success is that it never talked down to its audience, and in its better episodes forced people to think, or rethink, their prejudices.

im sorry i missed your point... i do understand where you're coming from, but why cant there be a mix... a popular star trek game that stays hardcore and true to the star trek series... instead of some 'star trek flavored game' as you so efficiently put it

There is also the question of the cleverness of the programmers to come up with such a system.

I only hope that they are reading our posts and realize what a fatal mistake making Star Trek a sort of WoW in space would be.

i dont know why you wouldnt... i think star trek needs to make a comeback. but with the problems that their current holder has caused (the star trek owners not the game developers) they will have a long way to go... the work may be hard, but well worth it

There are few people who want a Star Trek MMO more than I.  I have been looking forward to getting back into the ST universe since the end of Starfleet Command 3, which is a while ago.

My point, which you seemed to have missed, is that I hope the game is a hardcore sim with Romulan, Klingon and Federation playable characters and ships.

For example, EVE is a highly successful, but not highly popular hard-core sci-fi game.  I would much rather have 200,000 ppl playing a very complex Star Trek sim than 3 million playing some Star Trek flavored™ piece of space garbage.

I have seen what Star Trek Flavored™ games look like.  Legacy, a thousand curses upon Maddoc software.  It is not pretty.

So my vote is for a FULLY realized Star Trek universe, with cloaking pain in the ass Romulans (thats me!) Brutal Klingons and Federation Boy Scouts.

okay... i dont want to sound critical or mean, but... how the hell do you know what i want? yes, i do want to see a star trek massively multiplayer online game. wanna know why? ive always dreamed of commanding my own starship and because america and the rest of the planet wont get there shit straight and decide to put all their money towards battles and war and fighting and shit... i dont see that kind of technology coming out for at least another 50 or 60 years and by that time... ill probably be dead. the only way i can fulfill a dream like that is behind the world of virtual reality and video gaming and stuff like that... and my want is to see a star trek or some other mmorpg like star trek to come out.

Re-read what I wrote.

Trust me when I say that the last thing you want to see is a massively popular Star Trek game.

Greetings Humans,

It has come to my attention that further Federation propaganda attempts under the title "Star Trek Online" have ceased.

It is the hope of the Romulan Star Empire that any future simulations, considered or actual, include the Rihannsu (romulan) people.  It is plainly obvious that our agents in the early 21st century have put an end to this propaganda plot, any future developers should also be forewarned.

This is a time for celebration, that the ongoing propaganda vehicle known as "Star Trek" has been stopped from excluding not only the Rihannsu people, but the followers of Kahless as well.  We consider any attempts to simulate the intricate politics of the Alpha/Beta quadrants without its most vital members to be, at best, foolhardy.

Now is the time to take stock of what makes "Star Trek" so compelling and to make sure that is contained in any possible future sim or "mmo".  An earlier comment was made as to the death of "Star Trek".  I daresay that in an era in Earth's history where people trade security for freedom and the rise of fascism, it is difficult for a story of hope like Star Trek to thrive.  All the more reason to keep it alive, in its FULL and COMPLETE form.

It is obvious from Perpetual's business practices that they lacked Mnhei'sahe, so I, for one, will not lament their passing. 

For the Rihannsu People, Jolan'tru and Mnhei'sahe
