You can also join a Fleet, STO's player societies, which offer a shared space for storing and exchanging items plus a communal chat channel. You can form your own groups to be more effective, using different classes to create a balanced and more effective force. Playing an MMO is about playing with other people.

In a sense there is much trial and error required. There is quite a steep learning curve, with every possible career path laid out ahead of you and very little help in deciding which one will suit your character or your preferred playing style. In fact, we were initially overwhelmed by the amount of abilities, skills and statistics one must consider to master the game. However, that's far from saying that it's simply a kids' game. It also adheres strictly to the Star Trek philosophy, steering well clear of controversial or adult themes. STO is certainly more casual than most MMOs, in the sense that it's relatively easy to play. Many critics have attacked the game for being shallow, but that's missing the point. However, there are many interesting skills and abilities associated with each class, making team-work vital when grouped with other players. It's a typical third-person RPG, but the interface to control your crew is awkward and they often get stuck carrying out your orders. Some missions require ground-based combat, however, and this is the game's biggest weakness. Other skills can be used to weaken or temporarily disable the enemy. Space combat is central to the game it's all about taking down the enemy's shields before blasting its hull with various beam, cannon and projectile weapons. If other players are doing the same mission, you automatically join their group as you enter the system. You must first navigate to the relevant system using the sector map.

To rise in the ranks you must complete a series of plot-driven missions. Depending on which class you've chosen, as you gain ranks your ship will gain more slots for certain officer classes. Tactical officers gain skills directly affecting weapons systems engineering officers can repair and strengthen you and your allies and science officers earn abilities that distract, hinder and weaken the enemy, with familiar Star Trek technology such as tractor beams and tachyon waves.Īs well as choosing your own career, over the course of the game you recruit Bridge Officers to fill open positions on your ship, so in effect you can try out different classes vicariously through your officers, testing their skills and creating your own perfect build. You start the game by choosing a class from a choice of three. Many of the non-player characters you meet are descendants of characters from the series, and some locations and alien races will be familiar.
