I like Star Treks Online champions world of universes. Question Mark?

If you couldn't tell, this is gameplay

Star Trek Online, panned for all mmo aspects but dominates free to play ship battles in the awesome universe of... I've never watched Star Trek so really Spock dies is all my knowledge.

Anyway ST O is a fantastic f2p mmo based in the Star Trek universe where you as the player can now command your own ship with your own alien/human, both of which are of your own design, and do battle in small terrible ground fights to the most epic 50 ship battles for war that really gives you that feeling of simple epic elegance. A dance between colossus ships in the infinite void of space can occur for the most experienced Shipmaster to the little green upstart with the proportions of Gollum. I love every bit of the space battles, non-battle land zones, and even the in-depth  character customization system.

This is also gameplay... unfortunate, terrible, gameplay.

Now the rather terribly presented, horribly executed, and somehow evident to the large amount of effort put in, the ground combat is the number one reason why this game is not worth the full twenty gb update. Sad really. But to be specific, environment wise, assets are reused over and over again with slight tweaks, corridors appear again and again, and if you don't get stuck on terrain, it is because you are on a flat plane of nothing. UI wise there are so many screens popping up everywhere that you can't see what you're shooting, and there is so much text that it is information ovcerload. Yet somehow SCE tried to make the game action based when there are just terrible hotkeys that stop all movement breaking the user from the experience entirely.


Now for all I've slammed the game on it's extremely weak ground combat, I can still give it a solid 7/10 for the fact that you only choose everything you do, past the tutorial you accept what missions, jobs, instances, war battles you involve yourself with. This game has the most enjoyable space combat ever, excluding maybe EVE Online, but that I'm to afraid to play with how life sucked my friend Eddie looked when he played for a week. So those of you who like Star Trek feel free to avoid this for everything but the unoverse. People who just like free to play I can heartily recommend this game and would invite you to view the enlistment trailer below:
