It's definitely worth watching, especially if you've been following the progression of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-trek-online/"><em>Star Trek Online's</em></a> combat development; in this regards it's nice to finally see some in-game action as we'll experience it when <em>STO </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/11/09/its-official-star-trek-online-releases-february-2nd-2010/">releases in February</a>.<br />
<br />
There are a few points that <em>STO </em>Director of Production Craig Zinkievich, Game Designer Zeke Sparkes, and Producer Daniel Stahl make which are worth noting. We've already heard most of it, but the in-game footage demonstrates most of these concepts nicely.<br />
<br />
You can watch the video above, or head over to our sister site Big Download to <a href="http://www.bigdownload.com/games/star-trek-online/pc/star-trek-online-starship-tactics-developer-video-part-1-hd/">grab the hi res version</a>. The hi res version of this video is worth it.<br />
<br />
After the break we'll take a look at the major points, as well as talk about some of the high resolution screen grabs of the UI shown in the video.<br />
