There are a lot of things to expect out of Star Trek Online, including things that weren't in the game at launch which made some people rather unhappy. The game has passed its three-month mark, however, and seems to be doing fairly well for itself with updates coming at a steady clip. Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich recently sat down for an interview in which he discussed some of the upcoming content for the game, including the ever-popular pastime of any Deep Space 9 occupant: Dabo, the nebulously-defined gambling game that involved large sums of money and attractive Bajoran attendants.
Beyond that, the staff is working on Memory Alpha and tweaking the difficulty of the special task forces, which they felt were just about right for the high end and a bit too difficult for the average player. They've also got the beginnings of plans for Season 2, including a raise to the skill point cap, Klingon Episodes, and a Federation diplomatic corps. The next update is tenatively scheduled for July. For more details on what the future is currently slated to hold for Star Trek Online, take a look at the full interview.

Too little and WAY too late.

Still waiting for a free trial to try this game.
The current "free trial" appears to be limited to people who already purchased the game but have since quit.

I'll be interested to see what they do. I'm waiting for my sub to run out. I'd play if I wasn't obsessing over FFXIII right now. Once it is up I will wait a few months before I come back. Of course that all depends on how long it takes me to get into the BP beta.

Looks like THIS will be the Cryptic game to beat. Not that fake superhero game they have.
THIS game seems to be getting updated on a regular pace. Hopefully that won't slow down when they FULLY start work on their THIRD (gasp!) mmo.

I agree, there is too much Crypic needs to add/change/fix to CO and STO that they shouldn't be jumping into a third MMO. How the continued development of STO and CO go after they get started will be telling.
I had my $40 of fun in STO.

Is it just me or do Cryptic people do a lot of interviews mostly about the same things with the same answers..."We're looking into making it better." It sounds like they have the right things going but it's sounded like that for a few months now.
