Suck to hear JP.

I really think MMO developers are missing the point of MMOs. They are quickly becoming massively single player games.

What I wanted from a Trek MMO was to have a group of people pilot a star ship. Sure, someone acts as captain, but that would be like a raid leader. The engineers make sure the ship keeps running and repairs the damage. The pilot seers the ship. Science officer scanning space. Etc... It could have been very cool.

And for the more solo play, there are ships in Trek lore that can be piloted by individuals. Some are quite powerhouses too. Maybe not floating science labs or anything, but enough to explore the universe too.

JP, I concur, there is going to be a shitstorm around this game, Star Wars fans are bad enough, ever pissed off a Trekkie?

Brian!, what you describe sounds basically like Puzzle Pirates in space.

@brian: that sounds like it would be fun if they had designed it that way. unfortunately it sounds like its going to be watered down. sad.
