HAHhahahhahahahhhah wow if you need a good laugh check these trailers out. Here Ill send you the link

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/video/6242641/star-trek-online-starbase-24-trailer?hd=1

What a beautiful laser show!! Oh, and that voice actor... did the guy call in sick and they got the janitor to do it? This game looks like an absolute joke. I can't stand it when game developers try to feed us this crap. Little to no professionalism at all. Who is the marketer for this game? That person should be fired immediately. I just graduated with a marketing degree. Hire me and I could even manage to make this trailer 10x better. Worst trailer I have ever seen lol. This game is FAIL Get that weak stuff OUTTA HERE!!!!!

Oh and btw people wonder why the game to the left year after year dominates the MMO genre... one word PROFESSIONALISM!!!!

you know what worst about that trailer? is that it's missleading people into thinking there is epic pvp battles with 50 vessels like these in the game. According to a beta preview, pvp is instanced and each side is limited to 8 vessels and they planned to reduce it to 5, because of the lag. I can't say if it's true, because it was a guy who talked about that broke the nda, but it's true that the pvp will be instanced according Eurogamer preview

untrue.... cryptic has PVP battlegrounds like WOW that are instanced and then fighting in the neutral zone/ wherever that is open PVP. eurogamer was just reporting on the instanced battlegrounds.

Regardless of the PvP BG's or not, space combat is pretty boring.

That was one lousy trailer. The voice actor was LOL-tastic and the lazer firefights looked so fake.

Well, except for First Contact and JJTrek, those were trademarks of Star Trek. I'd say Cryptic nailed it!

ho, but still if I understand correctly, the pvp zone is several instanced battleground, it's not wide open with 100 of vessels at the same place, once the area reach the player limit, they just add another instance of the same zone like Guild wars

when was the last time you saw 100's of starships going at each other in a star trek show? like... never? not even in the TNG movie with the borg where an entire fleet is trying to destroy the borg cube did you see that many ships... it would be unrealistic (atleast unlike the series) to say the least to have that many ships fighting at the same time. you would be talking about hundreds of thousands of people dieing (it is not uncommon for a Fed ship to have a crew of 5K people) in a single battle and the loss of ships and resources would be totally crippling. i would say even battles with 30 or more ships would be slightly over the top for the franchise honestly....

as a side note, if they are using the same engine and technology as Champions Online, and im pretty sure they are, 100 players will be allowed in each instance of the zone....

50v50 or any configuration thereof is still going to be a RETARDED number of ships going at it all at once... and will be incredible to see.

go back and try to count the ships you actually see (unless they said how many there were in dialogue... i dont recall them saying a number). i bet anything there are far less ships than you actually think. it is really easy to see 50 or so ships and think there are hundreds...

It was quoted over 1200 Federation Allied vessels fought in the Battle for Cardassia. As for Dominion ships probably equal number.

I was thinking this game was going to be good at first when it was announced. After seeing the trailers they are very boring, and they don't do a good job to draw the person in watching it. I think the only MMO Cryptic has done well was with CoH.

I don't really know anything about this game, but if I were to judge off that trailer alone, I would predict this game will bomb. Like hard.

The voice work sounds like a fan mod or something. I didn't really know how they were going to make a game from a rather slow paced series like Star Trek, but I guess the answer is horribly. This is like the gung ho Kirk on Redbull. Looks like a strike two for me with Cryptic.

It's not so much the voice acting itself more the quality. It sounded like a staff member at the studio sitting in front of their computer recording it with a headset.

It would have been cool if they could have somehow handled space combat where you are on the bridge of your ship, as opposed to a third person view outside of it. But honestly, I'm not sure how they could have made that work.

Yeah, that's the weirdest thing about this game. It resembles Galaga more than Star Trek.

Well that was the only other third person space ship game I could think of other than Space Invaders..... Or Defender, but I doubt many people on this forum remember that one. You can tell I don't place space ship games, lol. My point is that when I think of Star Trek, I think of being on the Bridge, or down on planets with an away team.... Exploration and all that.... But this doesn't look anything like that. Like I said originally, I know nothing about this game, and I'm only basing my thoughts off this one trailer.

the game has away missions..... frequently.... and you can go to your bridge if you want....

Got into the beta, but I'm not expecting much. The trailer doesn't look promising and it would take a heck of an MMO to make me pay monthly again.
