I would rather they just charge me $60 up front to play the game than have such a disgustingly predatory micro transaction required endgame.

I have a lot of hours in STO, even more than it shows here since I switched to the ARC launcher some time ago. I've played it for many years, and to be honest, for the last few years, I haven't been playing because I enjoyed it.

I was playing because of the constant FOMO events. Every. Single. Day. You must log in and play, and if you don't, you miss out on the rewards. Forever. So I felt like I was forced to play.

At the beginning of the year started a half a year to year long event which at the end, would give you two free Tier 6 ship coupons to use on any ships you wanted in the C Store, among other things. I was tired of doing these FOMO events every day, but I started doing them anyway. Just for an arbitrary restriction to be placed on the coupons *halfway through* the event that prevented them from working on ships newer than 2 years old, effectively making them useless. I couldn't get the two ships I spent half the year doing missions for. I was excited for once, just for it to be ripped out from under me.

I was impacted by Hurricane Milton, and was without power for over 5 days. I was very close to finishing the Dimensional Typhoon event, but the 5 days of outage left me with just too few days left to complete it. I contacted support, and they told me there was nothing they could do for me. My time was wasted. My time was not respected. I'm not mad, but it was the final straw.

None of this mentions the extremely overpriced and predatory microtransactions.

I can't recommend it. I wish I could.

Beam me up, Scotty! Star Trek Online's graphics are as polished as Captain Picard's head. The storylines? More tangled than a Tribble in a transporter malfunction. Gameplay mechanics? As smooth as Riker's pick-up lines! A Trekkie's paradise, indeed!

after many years of playing STO I have to put negative review as damn game is totally unable to reinstall. That crap cryptic autoupdater suck, but they usualy blame user...as expected. Anyway if you managed to install it, it maybe even be decent game nowdays, but not for me.

Spend more time trying to fix my account through steam and or arc to make this game worth while.

game is going nowhere, over it

I'll always have a soft spot for this show because my grandma watched it with me as a kid, fond memories of those times watching it with her will keep me playing this game for a long while.

Think World of Warcraft, but in space, with phasers and Klingons. Star Trek Online boldly goes where no MMO has gone before!

good

Best Star Trek game ever.
