If you got in on the Star Trek Online beta you remember that you were able to explore the contents of your ship. However, with the official launch of the game this feature has been removed. But fret not as Cryptic has just let us know that they are working to perfect this feature and will reintroduce it at some point in the near future.
Below Cryptic exec Craig Zinkievich comments:
“Anything we can do to make the game feel even more like Star Trek is something we want to do … so, definitely, we want to give people more of their ship,. This is one of those things we want to get perfect before introducing it to players, though.”
For most current gen MMORPGs you usually have to pay monthly or with a prepaid game card, a la World of Warcraft. However, Cryptic is doing things a bit differently with their latest offering, Star Trek Online.
Sure, you can pay $14.99 a month, $41.97 for 3-months or $77.94 for 6-months but if you want to go all the way up to 1 year, you’ll only be paying $119.99. And if you plan on playing even longer than that, you can buy a lifetime subscription for $239.99. If you go this route, you will be given a playable version of Borg along with 2 additional character slots. Of course, if you buy the 1-year subscription you will also be given the 2 additional character slots, but no Borg.
So what do you think potential Star Trek Online players? Which subscription suits you?
Star Trek fans rejoice! Cryptic Studios has just released the above trailer for Star Trek Online and what does it include? Well, a bunch of fancy space ships shooting blowing each other up, what else?
Yes, featured in said trailer is a bunch of explosion laden intergalactic game play that you can except from Star Trek Online when it hits shelves for the PC on February 2, 2010.
