New MMORPG: Star Trek Online
Closed beta for Star Trek Online officially began when it was announced on October 22, 2009.Cryptic Studios offered guaranteed beta access to users who bought 6-month and lifetime subscriptions to Champions Online. However, the offer did not explicitly state how early in the beta process the access will be granted.
On November 19, 2009 Cryptic announced that Star Trek Online would exit Closed Beta and begin Open Beta from January 12 to 26, 2010.
Cryptic Studios partnered with several retailers for distribution of preorder copies. Each retailer had a version with unique and exclusive content, such as a Borg Bridge Officer (Amazon), a classic Constitution Class starship (Gamestop), Chromodynamic Armor (Steam), 500 bonus skill points (WalMart) or a Tribble/Targ pet (Bestbuy). All versions of the game came with access to the Open Beta and Head Start launch date.These are on a limited basis, but may still be found after launch, depending on stock.
In addition, the code for a "Wrath of Khan" Admiral's uniform is included in the DVD release of "The Best of Star Trek: The Next Generation Volume 2" and the Blu-ray release of "Star Trek: The Original Series -- Season 3."
Also, Cryptic partnered with Del Taco to offer codes with collectible cups (Macho size drinks) that come with a Type 8 Shuttlecraft non-combat "pet", as well as two days of trial time per code that allow a total of 10 days of trial play time when a player uses all four available codes.
On Feb 25th, less than a month after the game's initial release, Cryptic announced that they would be reducing the cost of Star Trek Online by $10 and including an extra sixty days of free game time, as a limited time offer that expires on March 3rd, 2010 . This lead to outrage by players who had pre-ordered, forcing Star Trek Online to cancel the promotion early.

Star Trek Online in game details
Developers Cryptic have revealed that, unlike the opposing Federation class, Star Trek MMO Star Trek Online’s Klingon faction will be almost exclusively PvP-based when the PC MMORPG launches in February.
According to press statement issued by Cryptic, Klingons must “advance through PvP, as they will not have access to robust player-vs.-environment content at launch," adding that "PvP is something we designed from the ground up to be a viable advancement path."
"We are trying to get some PvE in (there's already a tad bit). And, if the players demand it, we'll add more content (like episodes)," revealed chief creative officer Jack Emmert in a recent forum post. "I want us to be agile as a company and respond to what the customers want."
In addition players will not be able to unlock Klingon characters to begin with and will instead be required to "unlock the first sector block of Federation content, about five hours into the game"
Star Trek Online will also feature a number of PvP modes including duel 'Challenges,' team vs. team 'Arenas,' objective-based 'Scenarios' and open PvP 'War Zones.'
As Klingons level up they will gain access to more advanced ships and weaponry.
The upcoming MMORPG, which will be released on the 2nd of February 2010 is currently in its beta testing phase and has been billed by its developers as “the first MMO to offer both space and ground game play."
In the game each player will be a captain of his or her own ship, with the mention of ‘Federation Captain’ and ‘Klingon Warrior’ as class possibilities.
It has also been suggested that players will be able to beam down onto the face of different planets for more hand -to -hand orientated confrontations.

Star Trek Online Klingon Player
Klingon gameplay is one of Star Trek Online’s most unique features. It exists as an additional advancement path for players, and offers different gameplay options to players more interested in player-vs.-player (PvP) combat.
Players will be able to create a Klingon character after they unlock the first sector block of Federation content, about five hours into the game. Their Klingon character will begin at a rank approximately equal to the Federation character that unlocked the content.
Klingon Captains have the same number of skills available as their Federation counterparts, including the same professions. The Klingon Captain can be a Science, Engineering or Tactical officer. However, they must advance through PvP, as they will not have access to the same amount of player-vs.-environment (PvE) content as Federation players at launch.
While they are PvP-focused, PvP in Star Trek Online is something that was designed from the ground up to be a viable advancement path, meaning both Klingon and Federation players can reach a rank of Admiral solely through PvP. Players can engage in team vs. team, Federation vs. Klingon, Klingon vs. Klingon and Federation vs. Federation combat. What’s more, certain PvP maps will have PvE objectives over which opposing players can struggle.
Scenarios include:
* Challenges allow two teams to square off in a private instance created for them on-the-fly.
* Arena maps are team-vs.-team match-ups in instances, played either by teams that challenge one another, or by randomly-assigned teams created via a global queue system.
* Scenarios feature objective-oriented gameplay like Assault and Area Control. The Assault scenario is straightforward: Move forces from your area to the opponents’, inflicting more casualties than you suffer. The Area Control scenario is more subtle: Capture key objectives and hold them longer than your opponents to win the day.
* War Zone maps are static maps that are always open for players to join. Both factions may enter this may enter this map, which has Open Mission-style PvE objectives to achieve, with the twist that members of opposing factions can hinder each other’s progress via PvP.
Klingons will also progress through ships in their own way, receiving special variants of ships as they achieve new ranks.

Star Trek Online Character Creator
The Star Trek Online beta has for some reason allowed us in. So of course playing with the character creator made by Cryptic.If you’ve played City of Heroes or Champions Online you’ll know quite how extraordinary Cryptic’s character creators are. Others attempt to offer the same lists of options, but almost none are able to produce the same results. The same is true here. The nuance available to you with the tiniest of tweaks is fantastic, and unlike so many competitors’ creators, changing one value doesn’t obliterate your hard work with the others.
Each setting is able to interact with the others without distorting it, so if you want to mess around with your head width, it isn’t going to muck up the mouth size or nostril depth you so carefully picked out. Rather than letting you go crazy-go-mad with the settings, each is carefully fixed so you can’t step outside the boundaries of realistic. So for instance, pick a Bolian and it will offer you a generic blue seamed head. Attempt to go crazy and you’ll be able to make something odd, but not insane. And most of all, you won’t be able to give him hair.
