Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.

    Star Trek Online is a free-to-play MMORPG that picks up some abandoned threads and is still getting new content and updates, brings back actors for VO. The downside is how grindy it is.

    Fun fact, the Odyssey class of the Ent-F was first introduced in STO, as we’re 1 or 2 other newer classes seen in PIC

      Yeah, some ship designs are really good in STO. Ship gameplay is also the best part of STO.

      Problem are the FOMO events and eventually hitting a grind wall if you want to be able to play later missions without constantly dying.

      Ground missions are also really crap. They’re very basic cheap MMO affair, in stark contrast to the space gameplay. I read two different developers made made the two aspects of STO gameplay, and it really show.

      Despite how good the stories can sometimes be, and how the writing is a real love letter to Star Trek as a whole, the compounding issues eventually got me to stop playing.
