So I’m guilty. Star Trek Online just went free to play January 17th and I’ve been flying around the quadrant with friends picking up ships, blowing Klingons out airlocks, and forcing Romulans to such down warp plasma—by way of quantum torpedoes.
Things have been pretty good for the galaxy under my kind leadership.
I’d like to introduce everyone to my crew:
Captain Cassandra--and look, there’s Hadaly!
This shot was taken not very far away from some very unhappy gorn and klingons who really wanted to my rampage through their secret base looking for augment technology.
Either that or they just didn’t like the weather on their terrible, lonely, cold planet.
I’ve been enjoying this game thoroughly and I have even brought several friends in. Also, because I’m affiliated, I should point out that MMO Anthropology has published an essay on what going free-to-play does to a community and what this means for the MMO ecology.
Pretty much, I haven’t spent any money; but I can see why people might want to. Perfect World Entertainment have taken Cryptic Studios’s work and bring it into the free-to-play space extremely well.
Although, of course, that means that the starships that I think look the best are also the ones that cost the most! Or cost at all…
I see what you did there, PWE.
I will leave you with beautiful pictures of my ship the Cassiopeia II and an exploding Borg cube.
