    Star Trek Online Pre-Order Is Now Available

    STO pre-order is now available through Game Stop. Not sure why Cryptic has this exclusive deal with GS but I went ahead and pre-ordered and chose in-store-pickup. Here is the GS link:

    http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/sto/default.aspx

    Note if you pre-order, you get to participate in open beta (last 2 weeks of Jan) and also get into the release game a couple of days before everyone else. This is similar to how LOTRO was introduced.

    The Constitution Class (Original Enterprise) is only available through Gamestop yes, but other stores have pre-order incentives too.

    Like:
    Best Buy - A Klingon Targ or Tribble (non-combat pet)
    Amazon - A Liberated Borg Drone Bridge Officer

    and there are a few other places, not sure exactly what they give tho.

    PRIMARIES:

    Rosaline; Burglar (65) - Man; SM Farmer / SM Cook (Kindred with Cooking Guild) / Tailor
    Aldros; Captain (65) - Man; SM Prospector / SM Weaponsmith (Kindred with Weaponsmith Guild) / Woodworker
    Verem; Guardian (65) - Man; SM Prospector / SM Metalsmith (Kindred with Metalsmith Guild) / M Tailor
    Galwe; Hunter (65) - Elf; SM Forester / SM Woodworker
    Avyn; Minstrel (55) - Man; SM Scholar (Kindred with Scholar Guild)

    I'm really skeptical about any of Cryptic's games considering the mess that is Champions Online. Until I see a lot of very positive reviews on this game, I'm going to be intrigued but expecting to be disappointed.

    I'm not going to bother with this one. I liked the old premise they had like four companies ago lol. It would have been more interesting to play it like KOTOR or something not surf around in a ship like the console games have been. ST games in general haven't done really well because the focus was on space battles. The only one that seemed decent was the FPS they did with the Voyager crew. Elite Force or something.

    I have to admit. I was VERY excigted for this one until I started really seeing some of the info on it and more recently seeing what's likely to ship.

    This one is like a quarantined planet. Avoid Avoid Avoid. Which really really sucks. I was hoping for a really decent space MMO.

    Now with StarGate Worlds reduced to StarGater Resistance (come on, can't you even get your own Name?) and made into a multiplayer FPS, and Star Wars The Old Republic looking more and more like a single player game with multiplayer options (or at best a Guild Wars style Cooperative Online RPG), I guess we'll have to wait a long time yet before we get a decent space MMO.

    I pre-ordered through GS.. I'll play it for a while, but I doubt it'll have the same level of fascination of LoTRO and WoW.

    Another niche MMO, really.

    Well, I have a lot of hands on time with this one. Very unlikely I'll waste my money. I'm honestly very dissapointed. I LOVE the ship combat, but it's a tiny part ofthe game and the regular MMO aspects are weak beyond words. It's like a repeat of Pirates of the Burning Sea for me. Should have been good. Another opportunity to unleash the BlackSheep fleet, ruined.

    Re: Star Trek Online Pre-Order Is Now Available

    So is it basically Risk in MMO form using Star Trek?

    I have a spot in the beta, so we'll see what happens, I'm cautiously optimistic about the space combat, what I've heard though is the Klingons are in desperate need of more PvE content and much better cloaking reliability against Federation ships.
