I rather like the game. It is a good sci fi game, improved by the depth of the Star Trek "canon." I've never been a Star Trek fan, but STO did tempt me to learn more.
Now for a couple complaints: 10km range on Phasers and Proton torpedoes? Wtf, that's bullshit. Along that line, you can take "sniper" shots with a phaser rifle, what do you mean I need to be within 50 meters? (This is something that has be irritating me for forever. Once you get past 1900AD, most ranged weapons are, most of the time, line of sight weapons. Build your engine to take into account the loss of accuracy and damage over long rang dammit.)
On the bright side: Starship combat is neat. Working in 3-D is sometimes a bit tricky with the viewing angles, but nothing too irritating.
All in all a solid game. B/B+ territory. As I don't have much cash or much time, I shan't be picking it up, but there you have my two bits.
