There were also episodes set on the Holodeck so the cast could dress in period costume, mixed in with episodes of someone trying to understand human emotions. Plus technobabble.
That's not "real Star Trek". That's watered-down, Next Generation Star Trek. Kirk hitting on green women and a bridge made of Christmas tree lights... that's Star Trek! Space hippies and tribbles. That's real Star Trek! |

You guys are insane  This is post-TNG Trek, so leave your hopes for racist/sexist/masculine Trek at the door. |

OP is assuming its somewhat of a design-goal of eve to make players happy.
this is however not the case.

racist Trek
1966 was a banner year for multiculturalism on TV  Star Trek came along and set us back decades. Decades! |

Holy fuck that video in the original post was shitty. The space stuff looked decent, but the avatars were awful. They reminded me of all the worst elements of EQ2 - shiny plastic people shooting each other in the open at a distance of 3 feet while people slashed them with great big melee weapons. It was all the worst looking aspects of MMOG combat writ large.

I cant believe people in here are using the ST IP as an excuse for Cryptic. The implementation would suck no matter what IP it was, so get over the IP arguments. Fact is, most (not all) Trek games sucked because of bad game design and have NOTHING to do with the IP in any way, shape, or form. STO is no exception.
To put it succinctly, instead of taking the best of Trek games in the past and making an MMO with it, they quite literally just took the worst it seems (something MMOs seem to be good at doing). You cant blame Trek for that and claim anything better than a 3rd grade intelligence level. I might forgive you if you rode the short-bus to school, but that's pushing it.

Except the Trek IP doesn't add much either. The single largest factor in me liking Armada was the mod that patched in Rebels and Imperials which allowed me to fucking steamroll Federation bases with Super Star Destroyers and Death Star laser arrays and watch the Federation ships lose control and spin out into space aimlessly as they lost life support.

...because people keep relying on the IP to sell instead of the game.
