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!

The game isn't a good game, but it is a good set of stories to experience in the Star Trek Universe. That alone makes it worth a play through. The problem is the story missions are really 98% of what there is to do that's any sort of entertaining. Improving your ship is so confusing especially in the late game as a method to sell items to pay the bills on the game. Really that makes the late game just a pay to win, but not so bad that it is not worth playing for those unwilling to pay. It's a half baked game that is worth it to fans, but not really good enough to stand without the existing IP. It's an MMORPG set in Star Wars that exists in 2025. That's a good enough review imo.

I have played this on and off for over a decade. I enjoy getting some Star Trek content, looking at the cool ships and managing my crew.

If you are a fan of Star Trek, then this game is worth trying. Make sure to set the resolution sliders to max, and it can look pretty good, even today. The missions are fun, and the community is helpful.
