Season Nine of STO saw the return of Tim Russ, returning to his role as Tuvok, a role he has not played since Star Trek: Voyager. I’m not saying this is a paradigm-shift like what happened for Final Fantasy XIV which became Final Fantasy XIV: Reborn, but there were many additions and changes that made the experience more engaging than before. As with any MMORPG, it had its ups and downs, but in the growing expanse of gaming options for those who love MMORPGs (like myself), Star Trek Online ranks as one of my favorites! Ever since the release of STO’s first expansion, Legacy of Romulus, the expansion which brought the Romulan faction into the fold, many players like myself have returned to this game and found it to be much different to the version which was released. The update is live now on PC (a March debut is scheduled for STO‘s console versions), and a trailer for it, featuring a highlight reel from STO‘s many story missions, is viewable below.Star Trek Online (STO) has been running for several years now. The Khitomer-class is the first STO ship designed explicitly to blend the styles of the game’s three playable factions: Federation, Klingon, and Romulan, and to my eyes it sort of looks like someone mated the Enterprise to a classic Klingon D7 and threw in some Romulan green glowy bits.
This time Seven looks much the way she does in Star Trek: Picard.Īlso highlighted for the update is a new free playable starship: The Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser. Also featured is Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, who last appeared in 2014’s Delta Rising expansion.
Like many Star Trek things, it was also parodied in an episode of Futurama.Īccompanying players on the mission will be a new addition to STO‘s roster of Star Trek alumni: Star Trek Discovery‘s Michael Burnham, voiced by Sonequa Martin-Green herself. Legacy adds a new two-party story mission that takes place on the planet of Excalbia, as seen in the classic Original Series episode, “ The Savage Curtain.” That’s the one where Kirk and Spock fight alongside Abraham Lincoln to teach an omnipotent rock alien what “Good” and “Evil” are.
Star Trek Online celebrates its tenth birthday starting this week, and while it looks like its celebratory update, titled Star Trek Online: Legacy, won’t contain any hot Picard bombshells, it will be looking back at decade’s worth of stories crammed into the long-running MMO’s lifetime to date.
