You guys forgot about Starfleet Command although I found many mods for the different space based games to be better than many commercial games based on Star Trek.

I wonder why they didn’t copy Eve Online’s economy, since they eventually defaulted to it anyways. Instead the Market Gurus decided to go with a standard micro transaction, which always fails due to centralized economic stupidities if the prices are set by the company. So they ended up using in game currencies to balance it out.

Well, there’s always the old Spectrum Holobyte TNG game and the two Interplay TOS games.

This isn’t an MMO. This is Barbie Dress-up Space Fashion Show. Why did Cryptic even bother with a background story or any world-building when you have people running around in costumes and ships that are from totally different eras? Its ridiculous to any serious MMO veteran, or any dyed-in-the-wool Trekker. So Cryptic is making decent money from the superficial casual gamer. Well, that’s fine I guess..but its a shame Trek fans still haven’t gotten the games they deserve (and to a degree I include myself in their number). Actually, I don’t even like the idea of MMOs taking place in TV and movie universes, but with Abrahms propelling the franchise to new heights of absurdity, there’s little hope for gamers ever seeing a great single-player or co-op Trek experience.
