In <em>Star Trek: Online<\/em>, one doesn&#8217;t start off as an ensign, gaining power after progressing through various levels of the game to eventually become captain, but begins the game in the captain&#8217;s chair right away.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The captain, whose ship can be in either the Federation or the Klingon Empire, comes from one of three backgrounds; either tactical, science or engineering. The captain will be in charge of a bridge crew and will be assigned officers.<\/p>\n<p>No <em>Star Trek<\/em> game would be complete without combat capability and according to the preview, the combat system was not difficult to grasp. But &#8220;I came away feeling that this run-and-gun, in-your-face style of combat felt more like Starship Troopers than <em>Star Trek<\/em>,&#8221; said the reviewer. &#8220;Maybe I was looking for something completely different, but <em>Star Trek Online<\/em>&#8216;s approach to ground combat was very similar to what you&#8217;d find in any other MMO.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The final verdict was that <em>Star Trek:Online<\/em>&#8220;&#8230;looks very promising. The game smacks of authenticity and of a love for <em>Star Trek<\/em>&#8216;s long television and film history. If the rest of the game can be brought up to the same level as the engaging ship-to-ship combat, then this MMO has a bright future ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7296\" title=\"090809STO1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/090809STO1.gif\" alt=\"090809STO1\" width=\"250\" height=\"154\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans waiting for the arrival of Star Trek: Online can enjoy a preview of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2443],"tags":[2482],"class_list":["post-7295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-merchandise","tag-star-trek-online"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/merchandise\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Merchandise<\/a>","tag_info":"Merchandise","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7295"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7297,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295\/revisions\/7297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
