That mission / map editor looks impressive. I wish there were more games with this kind of feature.

its just a shame the whole game is a fail terrible reviews, its a shame i would like to try it....... did they ever add more starting points - factions in the game being the federation is boring all the time, and how are the bugs.... i like the Romulans or maybe the Klingons hmmm just looking at the website looks like you can at last now be more races when did all of this happen ❓ games only been out 9 months

(Edit) http://www.startrekonline.com/factions (its a good read about all the factions makes me want to play more now) 😥

OK this got me interested enough to sign up for another month when this one comes out.

I mean: Trekkies + Missionbuilding Tools == better missons than what the dev's made

Damn this was a good move on their behalf...

EDIT: Ok it's out already. Will prolly sign up for a month in the upcoming week 🙂

Looking forward to your feedback on Season 3 Braindead. That was my thoughts exactly, giving your MMO community level/mission building tools is brilliant. Keeps people very engaged and if some missions are done right can be hugely popular and better than the stock missions Cryptic made.

the thing is i will not have the time to play it because of Star Wars The Old Republic and DC online coming out soon... i need to pick one busy busy 🙄

been playing it a bit still seems a bit restrictive like eve online why these game companies cannot do millions of solar systems infinity is so slow progressing pioneer looks ok needs more development contributions though still to much like FFE2

there's a couple of reasons that spring to mind, but the one the company cares about is the fact that with open universe type games you are making a BIG gamble, and most companies don't like that...

very true their business model relies on keeping the punters playing i guess thats one thing and gambles just dont pay off somethimes

Very true. Fact is, all the most interesting Star Trek stuff happening these days is coming from the Internet:

damn you Stardreamer, you made me dig through my boxes of disks to try & find my ST: Armada box set, that Fleet OPS mod looks mighty sweet 🙂

😆 It's well worth the rummage, let me assure you. And when a game is no longer being sold on the market, costs well over the odds on eBay, is from a franchise that itself has been re-booted for a younger, more mainstream audience, I say that *cough*unofficial*cough* download sources are as valid a way of getting the game as any.

Would be much simpler if the devs could just alter the damn thing to run without a CD in the drive, though. My highly prized disk is getting scratched! 😥
