If they pull it off, I will be sorely tempted to play it.

I love the idea of commanding my own starship in that universe, and I absolutely loved the Bridge Commander game. Though I do forsee a huge overload of wannabe captains at game launch and not enough lower ranked crew.

Kirk: "I give you two hours."
Scotty: "I do it one!"

Tactical officer; there would be no rinky-dink exchanges of fire, it would be alpha strike after alpha strike until the enemy ship couldn't fire back any more.

They probably will make it impossible to acquire wealth. The only way to advance will be to move up through Starfleet.

Back when it was up, I used to play in a text-based TrekMuse, which had involved ranks, ships, ship-to-ship battles, etc, etc.

It was quite addicting back then.

Now, having a full graphical version of this would be even more addicting I'd think.

Heh, here I go, starting to get interested in too many MMORPGS at the same time again.

I really hope this will be good, but I doubt it. A Star Trek MMORPG is about the hardest game project to do well that I can think of.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

It doesn't have to be a good game; Star Trek stopped being about anything other than milking the cash cow when DS9 premiered in 1993. I will grant that Generations was made to bring closure to Roddenberry's Trek, but everything after that has been solely about the moolah.

DS9 actually had a good plot going by the end. It had some value.

All Voyager had going for it was 6of9's boobs. Other than those, it was worthless.

The Dominion War arc was decent, but Sisko's requisite tirade against the evils of war at the end of every episode got really annoying. My main beef with DS9/VOY is that Roddenberry's motifs and themes of are completely gone, with no pretense of any agenda other than making money via the Trek name.
