Set course for new Star Trek Online gameplay footage

Because it's 40 years after DS9 and they explain what's going on in incredible depth on startrekonline.com?

Check out the path to 2409, it's really good.

Who cares? I don't really like Star Trek except the new movie but I'm looking forward to this game. It can throw in Klingons and Borgs and whatever the hell else alien buttmonsters exist in the Trekverse.

Besides, MMOs always sacrifice accuracy to the source material. Always. I mean holy shit look at World of Warcraft. Their lore has been raped so many times it's completely incomprehensible now.

Eh WoW didn’t have much lore to begin with. Warcraft I was basically a warhammer knockoff where evil orcs were attacking good humans. People call it messing with the lore but if you ask me, they’re just adding to what was a pretty bare-bones and cliché storyline to begin with.

As for Star Trek, I’m a little unsettled by this whole “warcraft in space” approach. This is a franchise that became a success because of its positive outlook and the ability of its characters to solve problems through peaceful and intelligent means. I just don’t see this game capturing the brilliance of the hugo award-winning "The Inner Light" or the “aha!” moments the audience experience when Picard discovers an entire alien race communicates though metaphor. All the physical conflicts and phasers are merely a backdrop for a story that is primarily concerned with deeper subjects. I’m not sure if an mmo can capture this, at least not in the genre’s current state.
