With episode missions, every moment spent playing Star Trek Online will feel like a new Star Trek episode in which you are the star. Immerse yourself in the future of the Trek universe as it moves into the 25th century: a time of shifting alliances and new discoveries.
Adventure in the Final Frontier
Explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations in a vast, expanding universe. Establish contact with new races, discover resources and uncover mysteries that will influence Star Trek's future. In 2409, Star Trek Online exists in a timeframe beyond even the latest movies, so everything you experience will be brand new, but still based on all the fiction you love.
You Are the Captain
Star Trek Online is the first AAA MMO to feature space and ground combat at launch. Missions will take you and your friends into the depths of space, across exotic planets, and even inside starships. As the Captain of your very own ship, it's up to you to lead your crew on missions that span a number of locations. You call the shots, no matter where you are. When you're in space, you direct the action - be it in the middle of a high-tension battle, where you can maneuver in 3-D space and fire a vast array of weaponry at your enemies, or as you enter warp to explore parts of the galaxy never before documented. On the ground, you lead your away team across exciting terrain, interacting with allies and battling enemies. Every Captain commands five subordinates on the ground, all of which can be directed to act in any manner you choose. Can you lead them safely through dangerous locales?
Total Customization
Using Cryptics Total Customization technology, every ship you command can be customized by you, from its color to its construction. Your ship will retain a Star Trek "feel," but it will also represent your style. Whats more, anyone can create their own species in Star Trek Online, meaning you can tell your own story about how you came to be in the galaxy and leave your mark on the Star Trek universe.
Built by Veterans with You in Mind
Star Trek Online is developed by Cryptic Studios, creators of the massively successful City of Heroes and City of Villains. Its built on the Cryptic Engine, a core technology that means Cryptic game designers can focus less on a games nuts and bolts and more on creating a game that captures Star Treks essence, guaranteeing that both longtime fans of Star Trek and people new to the universe will feel at home.

Star Trek Online T3 Escort Ship in Starbase 24by azervas1,445 views
Ground combat being what it is, I played this for a while and it is a big departure from traditional Star Trek where if something or someoe gets hit with a phaser on full power, it gets blasted to atoms. in STO, everyone seems to be able to take a hit from a "heavy assault weapon" and keep charging. I got sick of that and figured out that no matter how much I upgraded when I leveled up, my "captain" character was better off just rushing up and beating down the enemies H2H "Kirk style".

Pitty the ground combat is usually boring as hell. I find myself groaning every time the words "BEAM TO THE GROUND" appear at the bottom right of my screen.
