Star Trek Online moves into Season Two News

How many people actually play this? I've been thinking about giving the free trial a go but all I've heard about the game has been pretty negative.

What is the meaning of this symbol - $

and yes, darkmorgado.

I kind of enjoyed the beta, but it did feel a bit empty... But that is space i guess...

@darkmorgado.
Presumably 60.000 or less.

They should make it free.

It may be $20 but it's still £40 and €50 at the moment.

Yet another MMO that should have had all this stuff in from the start and didn't, thus leaving it with only a niche market.

I do hope BioWare are paying attention.

Just a quick fact fix for you, Dabo is in. I already have a slight gambling addiction too, spending time losing Latinum rather than saving the cosmos.Even has a Holo Leeta running it. But there you are.

Overall the Season 2 update is one of STOs best yet, making everything feel a lot more Star Trek like. Being able to see the interior of your ship, or do missions without firing a phaser, just feel a lot more natural in that universe. As well as expansions to the game world too and the level cap to give us veterans something to aim towards, this is the point that I'd actually start recommending people play because it's quite good.

If you do want to play, or have any specific questions, do feel free to join the Star Trek Online group here on Eurogamer. We still have a good few frequent players, and a Fleet (guild in any other game) that can answer any questions and come to your aid if need be.

Have they optimised the on-foot sections yet?

I liked the slick space combat, but the slide-show away team missions made me feel sick - and hurt my eyes :(

Second Season? Do you now get the option to wear a full Riker Beard?

Have they added the /facepalm emote yet?

I played a demo version of this recently, it was pretty fun but I'm personally waiting to see if it goes free-to-play. I just don't get enough time in the week for much gaming and there's no way I'm paying monthly for something I only play at most, 2 days a week.

I sort of enjoyed the beta but not enough to buy the game. When Mass Effect has shown was 3rd person RPG combat should be like the planet side missions on this fell woefully short. Space Combat was pretty good though.

@Koborover
Not only do we now have a /facepalm emote, we also have a double facepalm emote! STO caters to all your facepalming needs.

I was quite impressed that Cryptic had got Chase Masterson to voice the holographic Leeta in Quark's, at least until she started going through the same lines over and over.

/bets another 300 energy credits on Dabo

If only this article had been written by Wes Yin-Poole, I would have had the perfect chance to say SHUT UP WESLEY!

Am I the only one that looks for a chance to say that whenever he writes an article?

Surely it's /picard ?

You're right, sneetch:

/picard: single facepalm
/epicard: double facepalm
