There’s a great big galaxy out there in Star Trek Online, so much so that some things occasionally fall through the cracks. The latest installment of Ask Cryptic focuses on a few of these elements, like the Andorian ship and the addition of a playable Romulan faction. Neither of these elements is on the table for immediate inclusion, but both are in the pipe for future updates; the former is planned for sometime the next year, while the Romulans are on the more distant horizon.
Not everything comes down to a simple “not right now,” however. The KDF, for instance, is slated to continue receiving new updates and additional features to bring the faction more in line with the Federation’s content level. The development team is also hard at work trying to allow older ships to be retrofitted into higher-level content, letting players take classic designs into modern engagements. It’s certainly not a question of whether the development team has a plan or not, just a matter of how soon all of these fabled upgrades will be implemented.

In the universe of Star Trek Online, it’s the 24th century and humans no longer make use of money. Here in the 21st century, however, you’ve still got a bit more time until you can play Star Trek Online without the use of said money. Or do you? Starting tomorrow, January 5th, the doors will open for players to start enjoying the game for free before the full free-to-play launch on January 17th.
So what do you need to do to get this early access? Well, if you’re asking now, you’re a bit too late; the privilege is being extended to lapsed former subscribers, who can come back and play the game for free as Silver members. That means certain features will be restricted, but if you had played in the past and haven’t had a chance to catch up with the newer features of the game, tomorrow will be your chance to log in and start trekking across the universe for free.

Since launch, Star Trek Online has always used the Borg as a major threat. This is evidenced by the Borg’s position in several of the game’s Strategic Task Forces, top-end challenges for the best of the best in the Federation and the KDF. The conversion to free-to-play will include improvements and updates for these STFs, starting with a change explained in the latest installment of the Path to F2P blog series.
The first change is the shift to two separate difficulty modes, Normal and Elite. STFs are also being added to the PvE queue feature so that players can more easily assemble a group. Last but not least, the missions will feature special rewards that can be traded for a variety of anti-Borg equipment, allowing successful players the chance to better tune their ships for future runs. These updates won’t reduce the threat level of the Borg, but they should help more players face off against one of the game’s marquee opponents.

We examine the best and the worst Star Trek Online has to offer — and everything in between — each and every Thursday. Or at least until I replace my emotion chip with a dance champion chip. Then I’m off to conquer Dancing with the Stars.
This week, I’ve had a change of heart. I was in the middle of writing about grouping, loneliness and the new squad system in STO when the universe — as the universe is wont to do — mucked that up. As I ran around trying to take a few screenshots for the grouping column, poor Captain Gil found himself caught in a seemingly endless string of ground-combat missions. And so, if for no other reason than because I snapped a bunch of guys-shooting-each-other-with-phasers pictures, this week’s Captain’s Log introduces some of the basics of ground combat in STO.

The trouble with making Star Trek Online is that there are a lot of parts that work great in a dramatic television series that don’t necessarily work as well in a game. As much fun as it might be to have your bridge officers get together for a poker game, there’s a dearth of useful ways to integrate it into gameplay in a meaningful sense. That having been said, the team at Cryptic is clearly interested in trying to add as many iconic elements from the series as possible, as spotlighted in the most recent set of Ask Cryptic answers on the official site.
A prime example are individual bridge officer stories — they want to add them, but there are so many variables that the effort winds up feeling more generic instead of more personal. However, there are ideas and hopeful plans for adding more personalities to bridge officers, as well as the potential to respec your officers (although that also runs into minor problems). There’s also some information about the upcoming Diplomatic missions to help spice up exploring the nebulae around the galaxy. Star Trek Online players are encouraged to take a look at the full list of answers, which covers quite a bit of space in both design and lore.

Star Trek Online players are in for a treat today as Cryptic’s next content patch hits the servers. Titled in such a way that we think they’re going to count to 10 eventually, Season One: Update Two (Mark Three, Variant Four, Version Five) comes bundled with a number of new features and quality of life improvements for all to enjoy.
The premiere features of this patch are the new Accolade and Squad Support systems. Accolades are your basic MMO achievements with a Star Trek veneer, although if you collect enough of them, you can earn real benefits for your character (such as passive resistances) in addition to titles. All we can say is that if there isn’t an accolade for the number of “Picard Maneuvers” you’ve done, then Cryptic needs to get on that and make it so.

Greetings, fellow officers! Welcome to another edition of Captain’s Log, your weekly dispatch from the far reaches of Star Trek Online. I hope everyone had fun tooling around the cosmos with the developers on Monday. Sadly, technical difficulties prevented me from accessing the Tribble test server. So I’m making all my engineers wear red shirts on away missions for the rest of the week — that’ll learn ‘em.
This week, I thought we’d cover one of my favorite aspects of STO: starships! More specifically, I’ll offer some tips and information to help you choose your first ship when you reach that magic Lieutenant 11. Remember, you pretty much have to live with your decision for 10 levels, so let’s make sure you choose wisely.

The team for Star Trek Online has been working on cleaning up bugs, deploying new features, and generally getting the game prepped for the upcoming Season 1.2 patch, which promises a variety of additions and improvements to the game. In order to help facilitate the testing of new features — and to enjoy getting into the mix with the players — the development team is going to be hosting one of Cryptic’s frequent play nights with the general populace.
Unlike normal, this night isn’t taking place on the live servers, but on the Tribble test server. From 4-6 PM PST (7-9 PM EST) on May 24th, the developers will be on the server, taking part in PvE content as well as on the PvP maps. Whether you want the developers to hear about your great idea for new task forces, want to tell them how much you want the game to have new content, or are just still recovering from the series finale of Lost, any player with an active Star Trek Online account is encouraged to mix it up with the development team.

Okay, so now that you understand crafting materials, it’s time to discuss using them. At level 4, you should receive a mission to deliver anomalous data from Earth Starbase to Memory Alpha, which is where all crafting takes place. Head to the Teneebia Sector of Alpha Centauri Sector Space and scoot on over to Memory Alpha.

Attention, Starfleet! It’s time again for Captain’s Log, your favorite Thursday Star Trek Online column. After last week’s roundup of incoming changes and improvements, let’s discuss the latest much-needed upgrade to STO: the Memory Alpha overhaul!
I am so excited about this change. Crafting in STO definitely got short shrift at launch. The system itself was not engaging, and progression was a confounding mess. While Cryptic Studios haven’t fundamentally altered the former, last week’s update to the Season 1.3 patch made such changes to the latter — it implemented a dedicated crafting window and actual progression — that I almost don’t care. After bidding a brief farewell to the previous system, allow me to explain the basics of crafting: materials, missions and Memory Alpha.

There have been a lot of ship designs in Star Trek over the years, so it’s understandable that not every design was in Star Trek Online at launch. The game’s division of ship tiers into customizable batches is no doubt part of the reason, as well. But that doesn’t mean that the developers aren’t well aware of the gaps in ship classes, and that’s the reasoning behind the latest poll on the official site, asking players which ship design they’d like to see enter the game next, quite possibly as a lower-tier ship.
Of the classes available, four are past or future designs for the ubiquitous Enterprise lineage, including the often-seen Excelsior class and the rarely-seen Ambassador class. There’s also the far-future Enterprise-J design and the far-past NX design, both seen in Star Trek: Enterprise. The other two classes are somewhat less flashy but somewhat more notable omissions — the Nebula class, a frequently-seen workhorse design that resembles a pared-down Galaxy class, and the Oberth class, a general-purpose medical and scientific vessel from the same area. The Excelsior class is currently in the lead, so Star Trek Online fans are encouraged to vote for their favorites.

It’s been an interesting process to watch the growth of Star Trek Online over the past few months, with Cryptic clearly making a concerted effort to pack a great deal more content into the game as fast as possible. They’ve stated prior that they would like to go no more than three months between major content updates, with smaller updates happening on a monthly basis. In the most recent Engineering Report on the official site, we get more details about what’s being planned and worked on for the near future — and the many players eagerly awaiting ship interiors don’t have to wait that much longer.
The report outlines the rough plan for the next three months, for the Season 1.2 patch, the followup 1.3 patch, and the Season 2 update planned in July. 1.2 is aiming at adding a “sidekick” system a la City of Heroes, new playable races, and social improvements. 1.3, targeted for June, is adding Dabo, the option to trade bridge officers, and weekly episodes. And as could be expected, Season 2 is packed to the gills with new features — including Klingon episodes, “neutral” episodes for all factions, and ship interiors. Take a look at the full report for more looks at what’s on the table and being tested for Star Trek Online.

While speaking about Cryptic Studios, the company’s chief operating officer Jack Emmert revealed that its latest game, Star Trek Online, has more than 100,000 subscribers.
Emmert revealed the figure during an interview with The Big Freaking Podcast, while talking about the game’s reception when it launched last month.
Despite the huge IP, or maybe because of it, the game didn’t live up to many fans’ expectations, as reflected by the number of subscribers; 100K might sound alright, but when you consider Age of Conan and Warhammer Online are barely getting by with a rumoured 300K each, STO’s numbers must be a concern for Cryptic.
According to BioWare, its upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic will need at least one million subscribers per month just to break even.
Last month, Cryptic made a press release announcing that it had over one million registered accounts following the launch of STO. What a shame not many of them actually subscribed to the game.

Amidst all this GDC 2010 news is a great one-day-only sale over at Amazon, where you can pick up Star Trek Online at the low-low price of $27.99. If the mood strikes you, there’s also a one-day sale on the collector’s edition. While the CE may still be $47.99 it’s a good deal cheaper than the regular cost of $79.99 and it comes with a bunch of in-game items, too.
Whatever you end up deciding, the sale just goes to show that a patient gamer can save a lot of money in the end. Of course, missing out on five weeks of boldly venturing out into space may not be worth the wait, for some.

As Eliot pointed out yesterday, when Cryptic announced that they had reached one million registered accounts, it paid to look at the announcement a bit more closely. What exactly is a registered account? Does a registered account mean that someone purchased Star Trek Online? Is it a beta tester? Maybe just a forum account?
We weren’t the only ones wondering about this. More than one reader was curious about the phrasing the press release: “Already, over 1 million Star Trek fans have created accounts at the official websites.” IncGamers was able to get a response from Cryptic regarding the specifics of the release, minus the lingo.
While the phrase “Star Trek fans” led many people to assume that the press release referred to Star Trek Online accounts only. The press release actually referred to Cryptic accounts — which are required to play not only Star Trek Online, but Champions Online as well.
One million registered accounts is a milestone worth mentioning in any situation, but it’s always helpful to know for certain what we’re congratulating.
