found the Cryptic Studios site they have a countdown for the game i think or maybe a release date other than that found info about it on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Online heres a peace of the story plot

Story

The game would have begun during a time of relative peace for the Federation, a time known as the "En'ock tu Ch'enock," which roughly translates to "The Calm before the Inferno.", approximately twenty years after the Dominion War. All of the Federation's traditional enemies (such as the Borg, the Romulans, the Cardassians and the Klingon Empire) have either tentatively made peace or ceased to be a threat. The developers had stated that a new enemy from deep within the Beta quadrant would have been the main antagonists.

i'm pretty sure its been cancelled

Nighthawk · « **Reply #42 on:** July 25, 2008, 04:45:10 AM »

it's said it was canceled, although I think its rights for development went to another company. at least, the coding. art and such will have to be done from scratch again.

Wait another 2 days, 20 hours and 25 minutes from the time of this post. News regarding Star Trek Online is forthcoming.

I so hope it's dead. A trek-styled RPG a la TES:IV would be great, tho ;)

QFT, the whole rubbish about not having starship interiors and it being made so that "anyone" (Read, WoW players/kids) can play with ease is really stupid. It's not like anybody who isn't into Trek was going to play it anyway, so why not make it for Trek fans? Oh wait, Crytpic's last good thing was City of Heroes, and now they're making Pixar Online. Hooray! I always wanted to meet Shrek aboard one of the Galaxy Hubs! And that Tauren warrior who still thinks Leroy Jenkins is cool!

Seriously, how little effort do you want to put into an idea? 2d space travel? Even SWG had full range movement.

I think we should all wait and see what Cryptic Studios has to say. It's likely that their version of STO will be quite different from what I saw from Perpetual's STO.

Considering most of their MMO's are basicly the same thing but with different content, then they aren't going to invest in something radically different.
They can make money just on having different flavours of the same thing, less investment, same income.

Dead? Cancelled? Fail to make since much? I mean hellooooooo, they took it over which obviously means they WILL continue it. >_>

Its either A) an official announcement B) open beta or C) media pack of some kind.

yuppers

got a look at the site and screen shots looks abit like wow but different so now theres a 2 week countdown to the game play video

Mark · « **Reply #53 on:** July 28, 2008, 06:27:23 AM »

So Cryptic are finally out of the closet, but the game doesn't look all that much more impressive, and it really doesnt look like the Trek universe I know.

what do you guys think?

Ew. Just looks like Darkstar One meets World of Warcraft to me. =/ I can't imagine this being the natural evolution from Nemesis.

looks like I'm still right about the game.

blaXXer · « **Reply #55 on:** July 28, 2008, 07:22:40 AM »

god, that looks rubbish.

MLeo · « **Reply #56 on:** July 28, 2008, 08:21:52 AM »

That has to be concept art.

Also, what will be the chance that we have to "grind" Gorn for experience?
I fear high.

Sure, they are big lizzards, well, we are big mammals.

MLeo · « **Reply #57 on:** July 28, 2008, 08:26:47 AM »

The screenshots that are now present seem to be concept art for landscapes.

But I do fear we have to hunt Gorn for experience.

I'm with MLeo on this one. It looks very "concept art"-ish to me. A gameplay video is due to be out in about 2 weeks time, which hopefully will show the ACTUAL graphics. In the games FAQ on their site it says

"Stunning 3D graphics"

The pics shown hardly qualifies as "stunning".

no matter if concept art or ingame:
let.
it.
