This is pretty shocking, one has to almost believe it's a bad joke that Cryptic is actually springing this level of unfinished work on us.Īll of the content in the game, from the tutorial to the Earth Spacedock (ostensibly, the Federation "capital", since you cannot access Earth proper - what? no Starfleet Academy? That's right!), all of it feels essentially "half-made". Klingons are supposed to be available at launch (in two weeks, if you can believe that), but right now, they're not even accessible for Open Beta testing. While you are presented with a number of sliders and some trivial texture options, all characters look the same: they are all humanoids with some minor decorations, wearing Starfleet uniforms. Right from the moment when you log-in to create your character and - in a process that is supposed to mimic Cryptic Studios' first MMO, City of Heroes - you find that you have shockingly few options at customization, you are basically shocked into recognizing you are playing a one-size-fits-all MMO.
And it's so unfinished, some people might say it hasn't even gotten off on the right foot to being started. The game is not only unpolished - it's basically unfinished. Unfortunately, this is not even the case with Star Trek Online. Not everyone can compete with Blizzard's level of polish, of course, and so I tend to approach middling MMO's with a bit of open-mindedness as to how unpolished they may be (such as Age of Conan, which despite its lack of polish had a solid premise and strong mechanics).

So, I am going to share my "initial impressions" of this fantastic piece of shit in an homage to Star Trek movie titles. I have been playing the Open Beta for a couple of days now, and I can't stand this torture any more. This game is so bad, it's an utter catastrophe unlike any I have seen.
