I track MMO's a lot, used to play them a lot too, basically this game was announced last year, this company/lead designer has a terrible track record for MMO's as well, Hellgate London, Champions Online, now this. Basically I'm seeing one trend, make an MMO, offer a lifetime subscription fee for $200+ dollars, move on to another MMO in a year, good strategy IMO for making money.

Star Trek on consoles is a bad idea IMO, isn't the demographic a bit too young to even appreciate it? I'm 25 and I was never exposed to it as a child. I know a new movie just came out, but they cannot seriously be banking on that...

I wasn't impressed with it, I was able to get into the open beta and my god what a dull game. I gave it a good couple of hours but it just felt like a chore to play. The ship combat is basic at best and the planet control sucks. I really cannot see this MMO surviving, I wouldn't play this game for free never mind pay to play it.

Was never really a big Voyager fan I did watch it they reused a lot of the same story arcs time travel, slip stream, the borg, thrown closer to home. Best aliens I like that were introduced in the series were the Hirogen would love to see the Klingons take them on in a war.

The big issue was it was hard to have any consistency as you knew they were not going to mysteriously get home and Villains had to be infrequent as they were going through their space and would in time be out of range of their influence. There was a plan for the ship to get home via a new technology early in a mid season and then have them go to and from the Delta Quadrant and Federation as the story needed but that was nixed. I think not showing what happened when they actually set foot on Earth was a huge issue. I am hoping Picard addresses it.

Knightofelemia813d ago

There were plans to show a few episodes of what happened to the Voyager crew once they came back to the Alpha Quadrant but that fell through. Voyager was ok but it's not TNG or DS9 those two series I liked Enterprise with Scott Bakula was good I could never get into the Captain Kirk Star Trek that was before my time.

DS9 was great. I have not been able to get into Discovery. I do not like the characters or stories. I do not expect Xmas lights but the fact that it is 10 years before Kirk yet the ship is so much more advanced even before they went into time has not worked for me. Mainly dislike the characters. Prodigy lost me at the first episode but Lower Decks has grown on me and I have liked Picard.
