With the promise of new missions, and new things to do, Season 2 has just launched on the Star Trek Online servers. The plans we heard about from the game's new Executive Producer, Daniel Stahl, certainly sound promising. Of course, if you're a die-hard Trek fan, the idea of flying through wild sectors of space like the one we see in today's One Shots might just intrigue you! This image comes to us from Matt (Charles@Tiberius1986), who sent in our first image from the new season. He writes in: "Season 2 of Star Trek Online is off to a great start, and here is an image from Fluidic Space. I like to think I'm exploring the great, cosmic unknown! You also get the title 'Moist', which I thought was pretty amusing. :)"

One Shots is in need of your images! If you'd like to contribute one, it's really easy to do. Just email them to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing in the image. In-character short stories are welcome too! From there, we'll get it all set up, and post it here for everyone to check out.

One of my big problems with STO from the beginning is that it's TOO colorful. I know that may sound counterintuitive, like asking for worse graphics.

But for a game set in space, it's NEVER just you and the stars. Every single system is cluttered with sprawling nebulae, strings of asteroids, rings, etc. When you combine that with the disaster that is "sector space," you never for a moment get the feeling that you're actually in space.

More like inside a technicolor barf.

There is a lot more variety than you think in the game. I've seen brilliant things, really wild and imaginative things, and I've also seen plenty of things with just darkness and stars. Looking out the viewport of any window inside the ship reveals thousands of stars in the dark. The new sector introduced in the patch is very dark and full of stars, and several missions have been that way too. I think the game has wildly exceeded my expectations, and it continues to be my favourite MMO, visually and all. :)
