GameZone.com writes: "Star Trek Online's spaceship combat is an odd mix of standard tactics and flexible thought. Many gamers make jokes about 'button mashing' – repeatedly hitting the same buttons to win. In Star Trek you will be mashing the same buttons because starships only have a few weapons. You will, however, be thoroughly engaged. Shield power needs to be re-routed, enemies need to be kept in your weapons' firing arcs, and some weapons need to be activated at just the right moment to get their best effect. Players need to think ahead and be flexible in order to succeed. Maneuvering your ship can be the most important part of the battle, since everything is in constant motion. Unlike other games where some players will rarely have to move during a fight, everyone must pay attention to what's going on around them – or pay the price."
The long-running, free-to-play Star Trek Online has expanded once more - and this time it's the new Both Worlds season that comes to Xbox and PlayStation.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Fans are getting their Janeway fix with the latest update. Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of online games, and Cryptic Studios announced Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager will make her Star Trek Online debut in Shadow’s Advance.
Was never really a big Voyager fan I did watch it they reused a lot of the same story arcs time travel, slip stream, the borg, thrown closer to home. Best aliens I like that were introduced in the series were the Hirogen would love to see the Klingons take them on in a war.
The big issue was it was hard to have any consistency as you knew they were not going to mysteriously get home and Villains had to be infrequent as they were going through their space and would in time be out of range of their influence. There was a plan for the ship to get home via a new technology early in a mid season and then have them go to and from the Delta Quadrant and Federation as the story needed but that was nixed. I think not showing what happened when they actually set foot on Earth was a huge issue. I am hoping Picard addresses it.
There were plans to show a few episodes of what happened to the Voyager crew once they came back to the Alpha Quadrant but that fell through. Voyager was ok but it's not TNG or DS9 those two series I liked Enterprise with Scott Bakula was good I could never get into the Captain Kirk Star Trek that was before my time.
DS9 was great. I have not been able to get into Discovery. I do not like the characters or stories. I do not expect Xmas lights but the fact that it is 10 years before Kirk yet the ship is so much more advanced even before they went into time has not worked for me. Mainly dislike the characters. Prodigy lost me at the first episode but Lower Decks has grown on me and I have liked Picard.
Interesting, but I'm a little skeptical, we'll see. I'd like to see how much maneuverability users will have, especially if they have to focus on it while fighting. I always thought a lot of the MMOFPS games integrated that element well.
The whole idea about fighting in 3D space has been done, but this adds an element. The concept of outfitting for team play, though, was interesting. Want to know about the availability of the weapons though - if they are purchased or dropped and if drops yield better upgrades than buying them does.
