Star Trek Online gives old players a chance to come back

It's kinda sad that they are desperately trying to get old players to come back when the game is only a few months old. I don't understand how Cryptic keeps being able to make huge MMOs.

Well STO certainly is not a huge mmo. I mean it's definitely not supposed to be triple A, they didn't build it with scope. Only thing they (criptic) had going for them was that a publisher like Atari was willing to buy Star Trek rights and let them make the game. But didn't give the kind of money needed to make the game trekkies and actually the rest of the world expected.
When I first started reading about the ST mmo Perpetual was making and seeing those screenshots (especially the one with the Akira class :) ) I was pretty excited. But years later, criptic made the game and here we are. They sold the boxes, they're getting what ever they can from the subs and when it'll eventually be over they'll move to whatever new project criptic might have. I was expecting a game mechanic like Bridge commander for space combat and Elite force 2 for ground missions all this in a much larger world than the SP games. And it would have been ok. But the situation STO is in comes from the way it was originally designed and thought out - limited in scope and vision - exactly the opposite of what the Star Trek movies and shows impressed on me (and I assume others). And this overarching background problem will never be solved no matter how many updates they produce.
