Star Trek Online Debut Webcast This Sunday
Posted by Mike Fahey at 4:00 AM on August 9, 2008
The big gameplay reveal of Cryptic's Star Trek Online is taking place this Sunday in Las Vegas, with a special guest appearance from Spock, who portrays Leonard Nimoy in real life. If you, like me, have spent several hours sitting in the corner curled up in a ball crying because you couldn't be there, dry those tears! The Star Trek Online website has updated today with info on the simultaneous live webcast of the event. It kicks off at 1:30 PM Pacific on Sunday afternoon, so you might want to pencil that stardate down on your...starcalendars?
Sure, it'll be in a small window and you won't be able to physically touch Mr. Spock, but think how much nicer your house smells compared to the event! Come to think of it, if I wanted to smell unwashed Trek fans I just wouldn't shower for a couple days. Bad smells are better when they're yours.

I won't be happy with any star trek MMO unless I can actually have the ability to bounce a tachyon particle beam off the main deflector dish.

So, are they going to boldly go where no others have gone before?
Sorry.

"Spock, who portrays Leonard Nimoy in real life" would have had me ROFLing, were I not already lying down on a bed. ROBLing?

Ever visit the WoW message boards? Try combining that with Trek geekery.
"OMG! WHY DOES CRYPIC HATE SECURITY PERSONNEL. Another phaser rifle nerf?"
"I don't even know why anyone would play a Commander class. They suck at combat and their first aid is useless. I'm rerolling as the overpowered Security Officer. Even after the nerfs they're awesome."
"SECURITY OFFICERS ARE NOT OVERPOWERED. LEARN TO PLAY."
"OMFG! They're SO overpowered. I'm firing my hand phaser for over a minute trying to kill a fucking Lesser Targ, and I'm watching a security officer kill 3 of them with the phaser rifle. Then a Greater Targ shows up, he sets his phaser to overload and KILLS IT."
"STFU, I'm a Medical Officer, and can't solo shit."
"Come on why would you roll a Meddie if you didn't want to group? If you think security officers are so great, play one."

I look forward to this game because I fully intend to play an engineer who pulls the chips out of fancy engineering equipment and builds tiny model castles out of them.

In the mind of most trekkies (myself included) an MMO like this would have to be so good, Jeebus himself would come back just to play it.

QFT (quoted for truth)
seriously, if i can't walk around ships, take turbo lifts, eat at the mess hall, and visit the holodeck in addition to sitting at the bridge & having my quarters; then no sale.
also beaming down to planets & onto other ships.
