I probably play this game way too much, but as a Star Trek enthusiast, it scratches that itch. Let us go boldly, where no one has gone before (except the aliens) and bring them democracy through sheer force and will. My phasers are hot and on standby. Are yours? [End Transmission]

The best Star Trek MMO currently in existence. But really, the space barbie is fantastic, the ground combat is awful, the stories are fun and full of Trek voice actors, easter eggs, and references. If you like Star Trek, play this free game and just enjoy the ride.

After all these years still the best game to ever capture the Star Trek experience of commanding a ship and crew. Great work on the constant updates and improvements.

Came back after years. Playing trough the storylines now. Those parts are fun enough. And work fine on free to play. Ground combat is still clunky. Spacefight are nice. That hasn't changed much. If you want some fun stuff from the in game store it gets pricey real quick. But for casual play it is not really necessary to buuy anything.

If you love Star Trek, this is the game for you. So many possibilities as you navigate the massive multiplayer map. Plenty of opportunities to meet real people in this online domain, and a host of options for developing your ship and your character. Plus, Star Trek Online has been around for many years, and was one of the first of its kind in the massive online multi-player universe, so they have a great deal of experience developing this game, and it shows! I highly recommend it!
