Welcome to the wold of Star Trek from your friends at StarTrek-Games.com!

[JTShadow]

I am truely excited about this game, and with Cryptic Studios on the bridge, I'm sure we'll see great things.

[Pestalence_XC]

Thanks for the welcome.. I look forward to upcoming news on the development and I would love to get into any Beta Testing that you may have going ..

Thanks

[superzero]

Good to be aboard! Like I said in my intro, not a huge trekkie, I do enjoy the series but I'm definitely looking forward to what you guys got in store.

[UnSub]

From the article:


And I was thrilled to see the beginnings of Starfleet in Star Trek: Enterprise.

Really? :)

[LunaticFringer]

It is most excellent to see the ball rolling on this project again. Thank you Cryptic for not letting Trek die! :)

[Ral]

Thanks, looking forward to the coming weeks. :)

A well written article, was hoping for the day to day life at Cryptic, but I think this will come in the coming months!

[Jazzaiz]

Hi everyone, looking forward to seeing more about STO!

[Gen00b]

Awesome :) We're all looking forward to seeing how this will progress.

[Dabruuzer]

It's funny how Trek touches so many lives. Brings on so many memories, etc.

Jack and co. - I am ecstatic that you have taken on this daunting task, but I know that if any studio could pull it off, it is you guys. I just hope you know what you're in for from some of the more fringe elements of the Trek community. LOL

I, however, have faith. You kept me entertained for almost 4 years with CoX, everyone in my guild is looking forwad to CO, and now this - as I said in another thread, you guys RULE! :)

Okay, enough fanboi stuff. Let the good times roll!

[Greyhawke]

Very excited and interested to see how Cryptic handles keeping exploration at the forefront of the experience.

[Gen00b]

Woops! (double post)

[IonParticle]

Welcome, Cryptic! May you meet wild success in this venture.

You all are our last hope. No pressure. :P

[TheDart]

Man, Jack, you are living the dream right now. You're creating games based on two of your favorite properties.

Lucky jerk. Glad I'm here for the ride. :D

[Rosethorn]

Eekkkk!

*does a happy dance*

I am so glad Cryptic is finally going to talk about it! I can't wait to check it out at GenCon. Eek!

[SAMEET]

Wow! Cryptic is off to a fantastic start. The new official site is very sweet. There is nothing here to upset the fanbase nor those who were following Star Trek Online when Perpetual had the license.

I am sure however when we get some more details about the game there will be plenty of bones to pick. I for one am urgently waiting for information about ship interiors and I want to see more of the visual look of the game. It appears Cryptic Studios is not going for a photorealistic approach, but the visual look is pretty good as it is.

[Maziwrath]

Good to finally be here. =)

[Pruxoid]

Great news!

[zethris]

Thank you Cryptic Studios for bringing this back! I will tell you what. I have had some good money saved up since the last attempt to buy a collectors edition of the game and pre-pay 6 months because of how much i've been looking forward to such a game. Here is to some great ideas, some excellent development, and here's to luck for getting it to launch sooner than later :D

[Webster3]

Amazing site and screenshots - can't wait to see the game footage!

[T-child]

cryptic sure has taken a big step, from making games about heroes to becoming the hole star trek online gaming communitys heroes.

good job cryptic and thanks.

[Althras]

Two things excite me:
1. Jack Emmert, it is great to know that the lead for this game is someone with such a strong set of Trekkie credentials!
2. Cryptic Studios - you guys has great reputation yes?

One thing worries me:
1. It's being made for both PC and console.

I love console games. I love PC games. I hate console to PC ports. Please, please, please don't let this be a negative point for Star Trek Online, a game I plan to buy and play at all costs.

Thanks so much for picking this up and reviving my hopes for this game to be made. I can't concentrate on anything else today aaaaa.

[achaney23]

It's about time! With Perpetual's total and complete failure behind us. I hope that Cryptic can ship both MMO's it is currently working on without one destroying the other. Ala Gods and Heroes.

The screen shots do look much much better than that World of Startrek look from P. I can only hope the characters look as serious and not Goof-trek. I will be following what they do with it. This will be the hardest project you guys will ever do. Good luck. The world is watching.

[Hylanvahr]

Absolutely great to see Cryptic's initial presentation easily outstripping much of what Perpetual had teased the community with in days gone by. I and the players of my Trek roleplaying simm from Obsidian Fleet are definitely looking forward to STO.

And folks, please don't bug these these hard-working people at Cryptic for release dates. It's miracle enough that another picked up this game when they did. Bottom line: It'll be done WHEN IT'S DONE!

Thanks. :cool:

[wzupdoc]

Definitely looking forward to the release of this game. Thank you, Jack, and the team at Cryptic, for taking this on!

[Kazekawa]

The site looks wonderful and I am really eager to see what direction CS takes with Star Trek. Don't mess it up =p !!!

[boothby]

Thanks Cryptic, for the wonderful start from Star Trek Online.

[UnSub]

A major reason I am interested in this title is that Cryptic is doing it. Can't wait to see it in action!

[Quince]

Cryptic Is Awesome!

[Quince]

Cryptic Is Awesome! We all know it.

[Sir_Cedric]

Cryptic set speed to warp 9 and Engage. Course set for launch day of STO. :D

[Cyjack]

The graphics need to be different for this game than Champions Online, Jack. Star Trek needs to tend towards photorealism, not the cartoonish. I want my ship to look *real*.

[Alieth]

Here we go again! I believe in you Cryptic, and thank you for picking up the ball and moving toward making STO a reality.

Now let's get to work, and ready those starships for the CO hopefuls!

[EyeOnYou]

Long live Cryptic Studios
I agree, Star Trek needs to be realistic.
I don't care when it comes out as long as its good :D

[Admiral_Patrick]

Well put, Jack. It sounds like you have a genuine appreciation for the franchise, and I wish you the best of luck with this game.

[RogueEnterprise]

I know Cryptic'll do a good job with this one. Been waiting for STO since '04, hopefully Cryptic will get it out the door!

[amb]

Welcome aboard Cryptics and thank you for developing STO!

amb - ST-Galaxy Network Chief Reporter

[Commander_Daedelus]

finally an MMO not in the fantasy universe to look forward to :)

[Mavado]

Now i am going to be moaping around just thinking about star trek online and how many possibility's it has, We shall see =)

[Captain_Intrepid]

Thank you for getting the LP for Star Trek Online, I've been waiting for it for quite a while (was it first announced during CoH Beta or after it launched? It's been a while).... :)

I'm very grateful it's in good hands, I know that Cryptic didn't want to tip the hat too soon, but the 'they have the LP, they might have the LP, they don't have the LP' was starting to kill me.

It was an illogical reaction (we need some Star Trek emotes, STAT!), for which I must appologize.

[Quince]

Yep. Has anyone noticed how the screenies have gone?

[amphigory]

Finally great to hear that Cryptic has STO :D

The only thing that was worries me (already! LOL) is that there will be a console release? :confused:
How is that going to work? Please don't "dumb" down the controls to make them fit a console.

But otherwise I like the initial screenshots, they look very nice.
I can't wait to see how the ships will look.

Looking forward to boldly going in the MMO space ;)

[Mr.Data]

Excellent:)
I nearly gave up hope on the game....

But I´m glad that the game will be finished by you guys....

Looking forward to see any sceens or vids of the game in the near future.

[blackorchid]

Sign me up for beta testing.
waiting for this for years.

[boydyma]

man ive been waiting for this!

i stand by to engage!

[Dare]

Looking forward to the game. Want to adventure in the Trek universe. Hoping this game has more non combat experiences and gameplay. Less action oriented only. A nice combination of planet missions, ship action and character detail will thrill me. :)

[The_Rattlesnake]

I never understood the appeal star trek had over my parents and family members. As I grew up I began to see the appeal in each of the star trek shows and movies. Now, as i am in my early thirties, I can understand, appreciate, and even enjoy Star Trek.

I was heart broken when perpetual gave up on star trek online. The star trek series has limitless possibilities and an MMO centered on the star trek universe could expand those possibilities even more. In other words, we can now make our own adventures and go where no man has ever gone before. With cryptic holding the reigns we can now enjoy the star trek universe in a way that we never could before.

Thank you cryptic for keeping STO alive.

[Calvert]

Hey Jack, welcome to Star Trek: Online!

And greetings to all the others!

[Jonjah]

finally an MMO not in the fantasy universe to look forward to :)

Amen to that! Thanks a million for following through with this Cryptic! (hugs)

[ahkileez@candw.ky]

As a long time CoX player, I look forward to seeing what Cryptic can do with Star Trek.

I hope they keep the conceptual artwork from Perpetual though.

[ahkileez@candw.ky]

(Oops. Double post. Please delete this mods.)

[afk]

thank you cryptic studios , KAPLA !

[Lt.Renak]

I just want to say thank you for taking over the rights of Star Trek Online and give us fans the chance to live our dream within a MMORPG. I do believe this will be the best game ever and I am sure you all do the best you can to bring us the real Star Trek feeling to our PCs. I am glad to be part of this community.

Best wishes to all of you who bring this amazing universe to us:)

I apologize for possible mistakes. I know my English is not perfect but I try my best

[EVEldoer]

I'm so excited for this release and that it will be Cryptic graphics!

[Cheetor]

Looks awesome! Can't wait 'til i can finally get my hands on it and get to give to command to "ENGAGE!" :P. Go Cryptic!

[Polt]

I am thrilled that this has been picked up. But who didn't call it back in January that Cryptic has the rights from P-frackin-E...

heh heh heh

I have seen some familiar names around her - Flatfingers is an especially welcomed sight... Anyone seen CinC? Been trying to get in touch with her for months...

Miss you!!!!

Polt
Your Friendly Neighborhood Ferengi...

[relitner]

This may be the one thing that finally lures me away from CoH! I am very curious to see how Jack and Cryptic tackle the unique challenge of bringing the feel of Star Trek to the MMO world. Canon or not... as long as the look and feel is well represented, I'll be a happy camper!

[BlitzJarz]

As a long time CoX player as well as a Trekkie, I have to be honest and say that I am extremly happy that STO is being done by this fine company. Am looking foward to many long and prosperous days playing.

[jpoplive]

I wish only greatness from this game. I cant wait to see what you guy can do.

[DaniOcean]

I have very high hopes for this game!
Currently the only MMORPG I own is WoW, but I am going to buy this as soon as it hit the shelves.

[Warp_Speed]

Very nice, Very, Very NICE!!!

[crackityjones]

looking forward to this....

pls give us /facepalm emote and faulty teleporters!!!!

gl & hf

[KroniK]

i'm extremely happy to see STO has been revived :)

i hope you guys can make something truely epic out of this one

[ShadowedHand]

Hope? It already appears from the provided screenshots that this game WILL be epic. I have had faith in Cryptic since CoH, am chomping at the bit at a chance to revive The Order Of The Wave in "Champions", and knowing now that STO is here, ready wear my red shirt and get blasted to bits :)....now for that "other" un-announced game.....

[Erhien]

Owh man this is so super!!! :D

[Bad_Boy]

From the crew of the Bad Boys Alliance, can't wait to dock with you in the Star Trek Universe.

[pmcgrath]

Make it so...

:D

[Elanel]

Good to see Cryptic are definitely going ahead with this. The screenshots look amazing so far. :)

[Powernexus]

I can't think of a better company to have at the head of this, perhaps the most important MMO development in the history of online games. Remember that character customization is nearly as important to this game as it was to CoH. Though I would like to see a bit more uniformness in the uniforms...uniform uniform...aye.

Look to EVE for your space travel influence, because that game has a pretty good lock on that aspect. Perhaps taking a look at where Earth and Beyond went wrong would be a good idea as well.

All in all I can't relate just how excited I am that Cryptic is at the reigns on this one. Live long, and prosper!

[.Spartan]

Maybe I missed it somewhere but I cant seem to find out where to purchase the game from. I would a CE if possible.

[Evenstar]

I am glad I will be able to write in my Captain Log:

Star date -314428.9617486338 I WAS THERE! :D


Let's the *dream* begin! :)

Thank You Cryptic

[danubus]

I've been a trek fan ever since TNG. I use to watch it every saturday night with my old girlfriend who got me into the show. I never missed an episode of TNG and went to tons of Star Trek conventions meeting a lot of the folks who were on the show. I got into DS9, but it never captured my attention like TNG did. Watched Voyager and enjoyed that series for the most part and I honesty really liked Enterprise, but felt the pulled it just as the series was starting to come into its own. I had watched all the regular Star trek movies, but as I was young when the regular series was on NBC I never really could identify with that crew.

I really look forward to this game! The MMO market is flooded with fantasy games and most of them arent worth playing. There are only a few games coming out in the future devoted to the Sci Fi market and Cyptic can really hit a home run if this game is done right. Wish you all the best and I hope in the future I can in someway help shape the game either through suggestion or actually helping test to make this the best representation of the Star Trek Universe it can be.

[arakkis]

Wow, TWO major MMO projects in development at the same time? Good luck Jack, if anyone can pull this off successfully, it will be Cryptic.

[ShiXin]

So far, I'm pretty impressed with the marketing going into STO. Shows a real commitment from Cryptic and gives us an idea of where we are heading, right out of the gate.

Kudos!

[Starkodder]

I do really hope that startrek IP is in safe hands, this time.

[Whitefyre]

It is most excellent to see the ball rolling on this project again. Thank you Cryptic for not letting Trek die! :)

Amen to that!!!!

Greetings from Germany

[ebeyer]

I'm assuming this project is not far enough along as yet to announce anything that looks like a time frame for release? Sundry technical details, such as system requirements are TBA as well, I guess?

Looking forward to the successful launch of ST:O.

[section31]

So looking forward to this, thanks cryptic!

[Tranquil_Ape]

WOO WOO , i am so glad Cryptic is taking this on...

[SuperSean]

Phasers set to 'anticipation'.

High hopes here, so best wishes to Cryptic as this goes forward.

[mrgoo]

This is such a great daythanks Cryptic for keeping th game alive.

[Enterprise-J]

Awsome!!! I just can't wait! Whoooo!!! Yes Thank you Cryptic for Keeping teh Game Alive!!!

*Does his Happy Dance*

[Creoleman]

This is such great news. I was up last night/this morning as the timer counted down and was listening to the Hailing Frequency's pod cast and navigated to this site with them and saw all the awesome screenies and read all of the news posted by Jack and Co., and thought, Wow, its still alive. Doubts that began to creep into my mind with the long delayed announcement were instantly vanquished when the timer finished this first countdown and the site went live.

Now we have another friggin' timer, but this time we know what it is for and again I eagerly welcome our Timer Overlords and their countdown to gameplay footage for STO.

Can't wait for that. Engaging Time And Relative Dimensions In Space device and moving forward 13 days. See you all then.

[Jaedon_Rivers]

It's great to see this game underway again, and some familiar faces around too (hi!). Definately a gutsy move for you guys to take on a license like Star Trek, but I'm glad you see it as one worth taking and have the passion to follow that thought through, and I'm looking forward to seeing the universe you'll eventually create, as I bet many of us are.

Best of luck! :D

[Xris]

Just wanted to wish you guys good luck. Remember to treat the IP and your future customers with respect.

Also this forum need some ST related smilies :D

[Age01]

Hi and welcome to the world of Star Trek Gaming we just want to welcome you and the new game you are about to release.

Star Trek-Gamers the oldest Fansite of Star Trek gaming and No.1 on the net.

[Mist]

I'll buy it as soon as it's on PC :) Will it be PC box only or will it be avalable though Steam I wonder? It is nice not to have to wate for games on release night. (Personal opinion)

[boymacwerter]

I hope this game comes out on Wii!

[Markham_Karis]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Jack about our experiences with watching the various Star Trek shows through the years! It took me down memory lane.

:)

I'm so glad you and Cryptic have this wonderful project!

[Halliwell]

Good to know there are people at work on this game with a heart for Star Trek.

[VOYAGER74656]

This is great, best of luck to all. There is one thing though, I hope you can be the first DIFFERENT space mmo by having a cockpit view , inside view of the ship your are in not like the EVE mmo wich made a LAME excuse for not having an inside view of your ship by saying that there is a drone above you so you can have a better perspective, there is almost no one here that woulnd't love to have a cockpit view so you can really immerse yourself in the game, so please please don't become just another mmo!

[BananaManUK]

I wish the best of luck to both all the developers, and back room staff who are inbrawled in the battle to make this game a reality.

[spockbeard]

I'm pleased that the game is in the hands of competent developers and Star Trek fans. Good luck and makes us Trekkies a playground!

[Finnigan]

Anyone seen CinC? Been trying to get in touch with her for months...



Indeed! Where is mein Liebchen? :confused:

I know she misses me something fierce! :D

XXOOO to Ms. Cardassia.

Finny

[rooter]

This is great news! Long live the STO IP!

Do us proud Cryptic. :)

[Finnigan]

Opps! Silly lad that I am... a double post! Please ignore.

Hell, while you're here, have a pint! :D

[Highcommander]

I have been waiting for this day for YEARS! Many of us that were actively involved with Startrek-online.net and with the previous development teams have had so many ups and downs. I know cryptic will not disappoint and it seems they are making tremendous progress already.

[ElijahMrE]

I have to say, I am EAGERLY anticipating this game! Star Trek is a phenomenal IP to get a hold of... and if done right, could pave the way for a new No1 MMO!

I have to agree w/ some of the above posts... I do hope it's more photo realistic than "Cartoonish" looking...

[STOFan]

WOW I am sooo excited that this is finnally here, I enjoyed working with the PE Team and I was sad when that all came crashing down. Perhaps with time we can build the same kind of relationship here. Again, Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome.

[STO]

Greetings All! Can't wait to see you in the game! Any word on how close to beta we are?

[mikeduh]

I can't wait for this game to come out. I've been waiting ever since it was announced. I loved City of Heroes so I have faith in Cryptic Studios.

I hope we can build space stations, and be able to not pilot a starship by yourself but have a whole crew of others online to be able to man a ship. For instance, a person who is lvl 20 can be a starship captain. Anyone can be an engineer or a weapons specialist. I hope the battles aren't just a click then watch the battle ensue. I hope you can use the mouse to point were your weapon will hit. I been tired of the same old think where you press a macro or left-click; then watch the battle go on auto. You sit and watch when your character or the other person takes damage and wait and wait. It would be cool to man a Klingon ship and cloak. It would be great to be an engineer and depending on your ability to fix the shields, give more power, fix the weapons systems and life support systems. Would be cool to build colonies or bases on planets, mine astroids and have epic battles on land or in space. For all of this, I wouldn't mind paying a little extra month. LoL Im getting ahead of myself. I hope STO sets a new bar!

I hope I can also join the beta testing when it is announced. Any date?

[Snowblind]

Thank you! :) Waiting for MORE!!!

DAY ONE GAME!!!

[Etapi]

All I can say is thank god this game got picked up. I am so happy to see this back in development and cannot wait until it is ready to enjoy! Go Cryptic!

[Captain_Nelson_David]

It's really nice to be here. I wanna play ASAP. Congratulations for the iniciative.

Live long and prosper! :)

[Trekkie]

I totally agree with the viewpoints Jack Emmert pointed out in his letter to the Star Trek Online community and it makes me that much more excited for the game!

[rojen]

WOOOOHOOO I been waiting for this to get created for forever, I am excited but please take your time and don't release it before its ready like so many other MMO's to date.

[Kaelon]

While I agree that Star Trek was never about a single character, I do think that the "ship" experience -- a dynamic group of diverse and talented crewmembers hailing from varied backgrounds coming together to perform a single task -- is the more defining characteristic of Star Trek's lasting legacy. I look forward to seeing how Cryptic - which did such an impressive job with City of Heroes - will depict this dynamic in Star Trek Online.

[Major_Bayushi]

I am truely excited about this game, and with Cryptic Studios on the bridge, I'm sure we'll see great things.

If anything, Cryptic's in the Engine Room, making it happen.

Don't worry, we'll get on our bridge soon enough. Quite happy to hear that Cryptic picked the game/license up, as I did not want to see ST:O die.

[delta9]

excellent news!

Cryptic should do a much better job at this IP then PE ever could of

[k.mpok]

DaHjaj ghaH QaQ jaj





Today is good day.
Long live ST:O

[skywoker]

Great! Finally the story is moving forward, lets what will come out of it! I've been waiting for this news for awhile now and BAM.... Great!

[cainers]

I love you for rescuing this concept! I have been dreaming of a Star Trek MMO for a decade or more.

[Cortean]

I am so happy, you made my day ...and whole lot more
:):):)

[relisys]

delete pls

[relisys]

yes quite good cannot wait hehe

[ahrubik@gmail.com]

Great to hear and we have high expectations for you. Our hopes and dreams though are far higher. ;)

[Netuddki]

Please don't make an NGE crap out of it, that's all what I am asking for!

Unfortunately I know, it is impossible to make this only for the ST and the sandbox lovers, because it's about making money again, instead of pleasing the niche market, but I had to say it.

Hope dies last...

[bugs]

this just made my week

[troy70]

I can't wait for this game.

[natehamill]

I just heard about this project roday.

I can't wait!

<growing desperation for details>

[johnson4444]

My first post... please be gentle.

Great to hear the game is back on track. Best of luck in development guys -- you'll have thousands of fans around the world rooting for you!

[amavocet]

Ah, the most-anticipated game in years is finally on the horizon!

It's my fervent hope that this game feels more like Star Trek than SWG did Star Wars.

[greentravler]

Its true "where no man has gone before" this is another reincarnation of star trek and now we ave the opportunity to live in this universe


sorry for my english

[dbarelic@gmail.com]

Most awesome news. I am so glad to see Cryptic at the helm with this one. Look forward to more info.

[kashumer]

Congrats on obtaining the IP for ST:O look forward to seeing your vision of the Star Trek World.

Personnally I'm not sure about a console version...but as long as the game play is great and the scope is large I'll be happy. Please don't do a NGE or WoW, Trek is unique and I feel that any MMO for it should reflect that.

Again great news and I look forward to playing ST:O

[Captain_Alex_Nelson]

I'm excited as well that Cryptic has got STO on track. May success be your constant companion guys!

[blkjag]

new to the forum and sto.. can anyone point me in the right direction to read up on what this game is going to be all about.. races, combat, crafting, worlds., etc. :)

[0wl]

Best news in a long time! :)

[tnaara]

I'd like to try the game today !

[ronshelton28]

i am soo looking forward to playing been off SWG for ever now need some good mmo lol

[Adreu]

Also excited about ST's future. Looking forward to all that is to come. :)

[Xextreem]

I am truely excited about this game, and with Cryptic Studios on the bridge, I'm sure we'll see great things.:)

[Veththic]

Hi everyone ... one question .. when can i download the client?

[trek4life]

Can hardly wait for gamefootage and eventual game release, whenever that may be. This game is hopefully going to be awsome! :eek:

[zanntis]

This should be really great.
With a company like Cryptic on the job, this is something to be excited about.:)

[coolchuck67]

Hey Jack I'm glad your the capt. of STO. and the whole world is watching and waiting for this game so good luck P.S Can you guys make a planet and call it planet WOW so every starship can come up to it and throw every photon torpedo at it ? LOL.

[Davis]

Cant wait for the future of MMOs as we know it. Its proving to be an adventure already

[Bad_Boy]

Glad to be aboard. From the Bad Boys Alliance we hail our best wishes to you cryptic and the star trek online community. One last thank you, again, for letting the Star Trek Universe unfold into the mere memories we hold dear to ourselves today. :cool:

[king2828]

Will it be released for xbox to play online ...Thanks The King

[Bad_Boy]

Jack Emmert, chief creative officer of Cryptic Studios, launches our web site with a letter to the Star Trek Online community:

Star Trek was never about a single character, ship or even planet; Star Trek was always about an entire universe. And MMORPGs are uniquely suited to create such a thing and allow players to explore every inch.

Read more here! (http://www.startrekonline.com/dev_blog/engage)

I can not wait until i see this game in action. let alone when i see the gameplay video! LOL! But thank you jack for all your contributions to Star Trek.


Well done Trekkie

[Grig]

Point me too the nearest place i can smuggle ail and weapons of interest, goods that fed .. say illegal nature. looking forward to actual release date.

[slaasher72]

When can you begin to use gameplay online and can you use it with your PS3?

[severon]

Good luck with this game! I know my brother and I are watching it :D

[tallis]

Hyped for this game! Like my brother posted earlier, I hope you bring the Star Trek Universe too life!

[Admiral_Close]

Im a huge Star Trek fan (watched every episode more than once) and a keen MMORPG player (10+ hrs a day). This is the game i have been waiting for, Thanks Cryptic.

[Boktor53]

Cryptic makes very good games, and I'm sure Star Trek On-line will be another very good one.

[klingdc7]

I just heard about Star Trek Online from my family. They sent me the links and what I needed to get started with this, and here I am.

As an avid Star Trek fan since 9/8/66, I have wanted something like this for a long time. I am definitely looking forward to the game.

I do not know anything about Cryptic, but from what all you knowledgable folks say; they are the people I want to have doing this game.

So, GO CRYPTIC, get us going a GREAT Star Trek Online game in the not so distant future and I, for one; will be a very happy Star Trek person (Trekker/Trekkie???????).......

[stiffmiester]

man i cant wait for this game i was all hyped up the first time round it supposed to be made,and now cryptic have got it im even more hyped
i play cof/cov and they are truly brilliant games
:D

[vercingetorix]

I cannot wait for this one. with all of the types of online games, I truly look forward to playing this one :)

:D

[-.Dragon.-]

Hey... I love Star Trek lots but I wasn't at the convention... I was wondering when the game is supposed to come out...

[Paratus6]

I have been watching the progress of STO for quite awhile. Almost thought it was dead for a time. But now that I see that Cryptic has picked up the reins, my hopes have been renewed.
I just re-logged and registered to this site (I noticed that someone stole my original STO website name....errrr :mad: ), but I'll be here and watching patiently until release.
What I would love to see in this game is a rich, immersive gameplay that will not be a cookie-cutter version of so many other MMORPGs.
I want PvP and PvE.
I don't want to see the almost total gank-fest of EVE, but I also don't want to have my orifices clogged by wads of pink and powderblue carebear cotton broadsides, either.
Balance is a good thing.
Make it so....

Tall Order's from those Immortal word's,


As my senior years come about, I can prolly say with confidence, that as the few " Grey Haired Gamers " of the MMOG community, I am so pleased that Crypitc had the vision and fortitude to bring about what could very well be the best MMOG Liken to NONE ever produced..

Gean Rodenberry left a his mark on generations of TV viewer's accross the planet we call Home.. within in the hope of Star Trek.

Paramount studio's has sought after many deveolpement's of this Legendary gaming premiss, to bring a measure of excellance to the gaming community.

And now with Vision and Reslove it is good to see this development come true, into the MMOG web based Gaming Inviroment it was destine to be....

I salute the effort's of those whom caught the Vision, And wait anquiosly for the debute.

You have taken step's to make a " Real History " unflold before our very Eye's and Ear's, and I will lend to the expertise of the Dev team's, and the artist's, to create a real 3D exepreince.

" Craft your Wear's " Ladies and Gentlemen,

Your audieance await's you...

Jack Emmert, chief creative officer of Cryptic Studios, launches our web site with a letter to the Star Trek Online community:

Star Trek was never about a single character, ship or even planet; Star Trek was always about an entire universe. And MMORPGs are uniquely suited to create such a thing and allow players to explore every inch.

Nice to return to yesteryear.. and Revisit a positive upbeat topic and commentary thread.. is it not?

Q: Did JFK ask what Cryptic could do for you.. or Whats in funding NASA for me.. .
A: No..


The Nuclei of Trek for me from TOS to Enterprise.. has been the Gateway to the Minds Eye Theater of creativity.

If you meet half your mission statement without thinning the construction cement your score an achievement
worthy of the Legacy..

Thank You,

Welcome to star trek I can't wait to beta test.

Star Trek captured the imagination of so many of us.. the adventures of Kirk, Spock, Scott, etc made a huge mark on our society in the sixties.. then came the movies and the Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager (and even Enterprise).. Trek has made it into our lexicon, our imagination, our culture as whole.. how can you NOT be excited about the sci-fi series that let us know that there was Hope in our future; that humankind could change and live up to its promise.

Yes we miss DeForrest and Gene and Majel and James.. but their characters and their dream remain with us.. they always will. There is nothing like Trek... and this game.. this project can be so good if Cryptic can live up to a high standard, listen to the community and do not release the game until they ABSOLUTELY get it right.

I cannot wait for STO... and any true Trekkie or Trekker I am sure, even if they may not admit it, is probably feeling the same way.
