Star Trek Online

Well I have been playing Star Trek Online from Cryptic Studios.

It has the Star Trek feel to it with space exploration, ships, and away teams. My red shirt wearer never actually died, so that's a let down.

Graphics - They are appealing to look at, aliens are done well as well as the ship design. You have a good option of clothing and appearances to dress up your character and ship. Planets are not advanced that I stop and stare.

Play - Ship battles are what I'd expect from them. You move on impulse as you maneuver to get a good shot with your phasers or torpedo's. You have a variety of items to improve your ship and its capabilities as well as crew to pick with their own talents that add to your power.

Ship battle does get repetitive and there are far to many star ships out there now for my taste. I would of loved to just join another crew and work on the ship. Maybe do mini-games that improve the capabilities or give a bonus to the ship.

Away Mission - They take to long. I know you want an longer then one shot phaser and you're down fight. But with the shields and how they can regenerate fast or health bars, you're making it take to long. And there does not seem to be very useful abilities of your away crew to use. I love using the weapons, just the abilities I find lack luster.

End content? There's a few encounters with like the crystal entity but not as much yet. I figured they didn't think people would be leveling that fast, or lower levels trying to participate in them.

It gets a 7 out of 10 for me.
