STAR TRECK

 

Every die hard Star Trek fan has dreamed of exploring the outer reaches of the Universe and pre-warping into under-developed civilizations in negation of the Prime Directive of the Starfleet, most intimately described in “Return of the Archons” by Captain Kirk. Such is the passion among Star Trek fans to imitate their favorite characters and so far all games on this franchise sci-fi based on the original American TV series have limited the acts of players to some extent. As a player in Star Trek’s fiction-based galaxy everyone wants to experience how it feels to be sitting in the seat of the Captain of Starfleet and the good news is that the Cryptic Studios is finally about to release their next top-notch massively multi-player online game (MMOG), Start Trek Online which will have it all for Star Trek fans. Recently, players got the chance to command the seat of the Captain in the spaceship when a press release was organized.

STO 2010 PC game is largely based on the original story line of Star Trek, and the game takes you to a period roughly twenty years before the landmark event happened in which Spock traveled back in time. The scenario is nothing but fascinating as with Cardassion union splitting, Romulus annihilated, Borg has arrived back to wreak havoc on planets and The Federation and the Klingon Empire are about to wage a war against each other, the whole universe lies in a disorder. In the midst of this chaotic scenario, Cryptic has set up a game-play in which players can either be on the Federation’s side or be a captain of Klingon Empire.

Like most MMORPGs, Star Trek Online PC game allows players to have their little side-adventures or in the words of Cryptic Studios “episodes”, apart from the frontline story. Most of the adventures are believed to be themed on the stories of the original TV show, which implies that exciting challenges and thrilling missions are about to be let out of the bag by Cryptic. Just imagine the level of delight in escorting an ambassador to a far-off planet and then to take up the responsibility of protecting the diplomat from enemy attacks!

While some of the information revealed about this exciting MMORPG is based on an older version, game developers at Cryptic Studios are engaged in producing a truly masterpiece online game for Star Trek fanatics which will surely have many new features still undisclosed. While gamers still speculate as to how much liberty will be given to groups and guilds to make their mark on the massive galaxy with respect to Starfleet and Klingon’s Empire, one thing is for sure, that is, Star Trek fans should be ready for a rigorous test of their skills and a great reason to refuel their passion for the franchise.
