Star Trek Online Looks Pretty Sick

Armada and Armada 2 were great RTS games. As mentioned above Bridge Commander was good. Elite Force and Elite Force 2 were damn good FPS games but that seems to be about it really.

As for this, I always thought it would have more in common with Star Wars Galaxies what with you beaming down to planets and the like then Eve?

The problem with STO, is that it's trying to do both right off the bat. It wants ship combat, and ground combat. Honestly, I don't think Cryptic can pull off a feat like this without killing the depth of both. At least, certainly not in a way that can compete with games that are only doing one or the other. But, that's my bias speaking again, because I have nothing but respect for the company CCP. They've done some amazing things over the years, and Perpetual, the company that started STO had a failed game already and massive layoffs over the last couple years before shutting down completely. That's not a good sign for the game's start.

Cryptic has what.. City of Heroes? While successful, it never grabbed my chain. I dunno.. maybe it will be nice, but it's going to have to 'wow' me if it wants more than a half-assed interest.

STO might never even see the light of day.
