Hey Trekkers -- got your phasers charged to full? Have you stocked up on Romulan ale and plenty of Klingon qagh? Done all your homework by watching every Star Trek season ever made, including those weird 1970s animated episodes? Then you might, might just be ready for Star Trek Online's Season 5, which is going live today.
Season 5 contains a cargo hold full of features and changes, starting with organizing what subscribers (now "Gold members") get as part of their service. The update also includes a duty officer system, an improved space skills system, a revamped tutorial, a currency consolidation, and several other events and activities.
In honor of the launch, the team has put subscriptions on sale and is even offering $100 off the price of a lifetime sub.
You can read up on all of Season 5's details in the release notes as Cryptic's space baby takes one more step toward its free-to-play conversion.

Can't wait to try this F2P MMO out!, I may even be tempted to part with some cash if I enjoy it. Everyone likes to 'pimp my ship' right?.

@Lorell At the top of the store section, there's a row of buttons for categories: Home, Personnel, etc.
To the left and right of those buttons are a < and > arrow buttons. Click the right one for another set of buttons, which includes "Appearance". There's all the costumes.

Finally. Now I need to decide whether to renew my sub, or just wait for it to go F2p.

Okay this is more of a rant on this website, WHO designed the linking system on this website. When i'm already at the article and i click on the link to go to the supposed games website, i don't want to search your website for the words, i want to go to that game so when you say "startrek online's season 5" and i click on it i want to go to their website for more info not yours. It's happened on every major blog spot or article and it's annoying.
