It is a shame that MMOs have this reputation that they are rarely ready on release. There is no reason for this as that is what Beta testing is for. Regrettably most people chosen for beta testing only use it as a chance to play the game before anyone else, and not for what it is intended for.

To all STO beta testers out there: if you are chosen as a beta tester, GIVE FEEDBACK TO THE DEVELOPERS. Dont just sit there playing the game, moan about how unfinished it is then never play it again. Lets try and buck the trend and make this game actually viable on release by letting the devs know what is wrong BEFORE release.
