The most recent trait-losing bug (it happened before countless times) got me over the edge, I just couldn't get myself over spending days again to retrait all my characters. So after 15 long years since headstart (lifer since day one), I decided to uninstall STO ... but it was a great journey.
I play this game now and then it’s currently my connection to Star Trek. I’ve been a fan since I was 12yrs old now 43 it can get boring to a degree but I’m always coming back to it. The ship battles are my favourite part of the game. Sovereign class is my favourite ship uss sovereign ncc-73811 armed the same as enterprise E from the movies.
Okay, I just started playing this game. I grew up with TOS and I remember when a cereal company was running a contest for kids to win an appearance in the TNG premiere. Yes its not the greatest mmo, but it is free and I was able to get it to run on my linux computer through Steam.
I did not know this game even existed. I wish there was a modern Star Trek game with an expansive story :D Heck, I wouldn't even mind a Telltale-esk game!
It's a good game to return to every now and then for a Star Trek fix. I've played on and off since 2011 or so, still semi-actively now. Would I recommend it to anyone seeking an MMO rather than seeking Trek? No. It's catered to and kept alive by Trekkies for a reason.
This game is absolutely amazing. Make sure to mention in your video that it's free, as that's a major advantage! Personally, I've found my refuge in this unique game that captivates you and keeps you hooked for decades to come. And I'm saying all this as a true and passionate Trekkie."
STO really needs a true Next Gen update to reflect not only canon changes(SNW TOS/Discovery 31st Century eras) but new ways to experience gameplay(Bridge Command, more use of ship-based resources in mission gameplay, off-hands away teams, shuttle space/atmo flight, ect..) Sadly, Dekka taking over the maintenance/updates has taken that off the cards..
@@moviemaniacdjp With CBS throwing discovery to non canon, I think that'll be the fate of most of those shows, plus two of those are animated. Picard was a mess, season 3 was nice, but does that really make up for the awful?
It wasn’t received very well because a new company took over development early on and changed what it was supposed to be. It was supposed to be an actual multiplayer simulation type game with ship interiors etc and full multiplayer crews and much more. Pretty much a virtual version of the Star Trek universe as we’ve seen on tv/movies. Instead it was changed to this.
Having trouble with that game. I am stuck on a mission where I have to get a shuttle to transport someone. I have no idea how to get it and do the mission to go forward in the game. Also, resurgence is more of a story game more than a gameplay game.
Ah, that sounds like a real head-scratcher. You're right, Resurgence leans a bit more heavily on story, which is what I love about it. Cool game, that one. 😎🖖
STO is a fairly lame game, but dripping with fan service. So if you're into Trek (like an awful lot of us are, TYVM), it's a decent romp. Also, almost all of the content can be played single player without joining a Fleet/clan. As an anti-social gamer, I appreciate that. Though, I do wish the PS4/5 version of the game wasn't so awful. The graphics are vastly *worse* than in the PC version, and if your screencaps are from the XBox version, its graphics are way better, too.
@JeffBowlesCentralEntertainment Wow, I'm getting really screwed with the Playstation version then. The graphics are awful and filled with bugs. :-) I only check in every so often for new single player fan service content, but have otherwise moved on.
For me it's just not... fun, not anymore. I've been playing STO for the past 13 years, the moment it went F2p I instantly hopped on and I was hooked mostly because I'm a die hard trekkie. Right now the game doesn't have any reedeming qualities other than making cool ships and the occasional Trek Celebrity Cameo. In my opinion, lockboxes ruined the game (but I do understand those are necessary to keep the studio alive) and there's nothing much else to do other than the current TFOs for the month's event or... anything else really, Space Barbie maybe? Your character (and ship) build depends heavily on what paid product you can get. Yes, there are budget builds but most of the Meta Stuff is locked behind a past Event, Lockbox or Paywall. The Dil exchange is dead, you cannot exchange Dil for Zen anymore, which makes it impossible not to spend a dime on the game if you miss some days off the event grind. The System which allowed the players to make custom made stories is also dead and the game runs on an extremely old engine where the UI makes the game slow as hell sometimes. Gameplay too, it has become incredibly stagnant. I often just run around a target without any strategy and just... blow it up. I'm not really expecting Starfleet Command levels of dept here but I would love them to focus a little bit more on rebuilding the gameplay somehow. Also the visual noise has become something unbearable. I can't suggest this game to anyone really, but it's really hard for me to give it away due to FOMO and because it's basically the only trek game right now.

I play this everyday. It gives me a pleasant escape from reality for an hour or so.

Sovereign loving here myself. Absolutely agree on your statement.

Still playing every day after 15 years. And yes, I played and enjoyed Resurgence.

There's one called Star Trek Resurgence.

I would love all this stuff. Truly. Especially a Strange New Worlds update. A next-gen STO would thrill me to no end.
I just like that the main plot goes beyond Nemesis. That is something CBS seems scared to do, so instead they go back and break the existing lore.
Prodigy, Lower Decks, and Picard are all post Nemesis. Discovery from Season 3 onward is in the far future.
@@moviemaniacdjp With CBS throwing discovery to non canon, I think that'll be the fate of most of those shows, plus two of those are animated. Picard was a mess, season 3 was nice, but does that really make up for the awful?
@CondemnedInformer discovery is still canon bro
@CondemnedInformer I agree Picard was a mess. But you claimed that CBS doesn't make any Star Trek post Nemesis. I was just giving examples of they do.
@@moviemaniacdjp Fair, hopefully we get much better in the future, but under this CBS, unlikely.

Yup, screen captures are from the latest Xbox Series X build.
