star trek online F2P goes lives...
So Star Trek Online F2P (free to play) has finally gone live. I've always been a big Star Trek fan but I wasn't going to play this one. I downloaded it and thought and now all I can think is, oh look free to play...isn't even going to save this.
First the good part. The character creation is great. It has a ton of different race choices and probably one of the most in depth actually creations methods I've ever seen in an mmo anywhere. While you can play a great deal of races some are still missing.
Now for everything else. I found the combat boring. At first I was using the original combat format keep pressing a number to fire the phaser, kill the Borg isn't that nice... well boring. I switched to the new combat system that was meant to be more of a 3rd person action shooter. Still I found myself clicking and waiting for the phaser to fire over and over again killed the Borg and moved onto the next sitting target. I never actually got hit and everything was dead before it even got remotely close.
The ship combat was ok. you set the speed of your ship click on your target, fly around beaming things off other ships, onto other ships and then blowing up enemies. the ship controls are slow which i guess makes sense since it is a giant ship in space. still after fifth Borg probe thingy I was done and didn't care anymore.
Honestly I wouldn't bother, the game was pay to play, now it's free but with all the good mmo's out there now, their isn't a need to waste your time with this one.
