Okay, so the consensus of opinion is that this game is garbage. But is it unfinished garbage that can be fixed given time, or is it just plain garbage.
Just plain garbage. I had uninstalled within the hour.

Just plain garbage. They took StarTrek and removed the most important thing from it: exploration and diplomacy and replaced it with senseless cookie cutter mission to mission to mission combat.
That's all you do, mission and mission after mission and they get old after ... the 6th time. It's all combat and only that. Boring and totally non StarTrek.
They could've called it Spacefight online and nobody would've noticed that there's a StarTrek logo on it.
Oh no, if MMO's don't hold yoru hand, i.e. WoW, and constantly give you a bazillion quest to do, as the only means of progression, they suck!
Basically just another lame MMO to be the cash-cow of another publisher.

I can't believe it's so combat oriented.
Star Trek should be about giving you a huge universe to explore at will and players discover secrets as they visit strange systems and planets, etc.
I sort of wish it was like Star Control 2 or something for some reason in terms of how there is a large universe to explore with things hidden throughout...
Maybe set up all these vast systems and planets and just randomly generate events and encounters. Some systems will be too high a level for you to be successful at so you'll have to come back later, etc. but it's still a free roaming universe without the need for scripted missions always.
To sum it up, this game is like a Tribble. It may enrapture you at first, but it's only a matter of time somewhere down the line that you'll come to the realization that it's sadly lacking all the qualities that would make it something you'd want to keep around.
Not a fan of star trek or even understand the plot but it seems like an interesting game to try.
I haven't played this game yet in any shape or form - but I don't see why ground combat/exploration can't be fixed given time? Okay, maybe that might take a lot of time. Maybe it might take a hell of a lot of time. But twelve months from now, eighteen months from now, if the developer continues to work on this game, and they actually make it good, does it really matter to any of us if it took them that long to get there? Nobody's forcing us to buy the game right now are they?
It's an MMO, and as long as the developer has the resources, they can change the game. To me, this is the big difference between an MMO and a non-MMO.
Ah well, I wanted to be a female Vulcan. Now my dream is shattered.
Based on what?
Did you even read this thread? I've rarely seen so many people at this forum all agreeing about something.
I hope the company making this game fails miserably and doesn't recoup their costs with it. I hope that the experience teaches a lesson to other companies/execs who want to rush a game out the door before its finished so they can start making money.
Thats a wee bit harsh dont you think? "I hope the company loses their financial structure and employees lose their jobs because they attempted to make a game everyone could enjoy". Come on, what if someone wished that on you because you attempted to make something people enjoyed and it turned out not to be what they expected? Thats fucked up and you know it is. They are not trying to trick or force anyone into buying this game.
Read the reviews and buy it or dont but it, but theres no reason to have this snotty attitude that since it didnt meet your expectations, that "Someone must pay for this injustice!". I feel bad for game developers, they work hard on a game and kids think they are entitiled to it and tell them how THEIR game should be or else they should go bankrupt.
Seriously, get a grip on reality.
And to counter argue the statements that are about to fly at me:
No I don't think its good practice to release a broken game.
No I don't think players should buy the game based on hope of future fixes.
I'm all about making a stand and not buying a game because of their methods but I do not wish for them to "not be able to recoup their losses"
Vote with your wallet. That's the way to get results.
Thats not the point though. The point is that people don't want to buy a broken game, with the hopes that it'll be fixed 12 or 18 months from now. If I said to you, heres a car and it doesn't work and doesn't start. Buy it for $15,000, and I might have it fixed within the next year, you'd laugh.
ehem -- MW2 -- ehem

As a Star Trek fan I think it has done a fair job from what I have experienced playing the game so far. I've watched TOS, DS9, Voyager & Enterprise and a bit of TNG. It is way better than the piles of garbage other Star Trek games have been. I think it was bridge commander??? that was the only decent game before this. Not 100% on the name.
I haven't experienced enough of it yet to draw a conclusion but they have delivered what they said in press releases. At least from my early play testing. They put sector patrols in, diplomatic missions, the genesis system, fleet battles, pvp battles.

I can't think of ANY games that were bad at release that are successful now.
