Cryptic and Perfect World release STO F2P trailer
We are Perfect World. We will add your sci-fi MMO to our free-to-play collection. Resistance is futile. In case you missed it, Cryptic's Star Trek Online has gone F2P, and a new launch trailer does a good job of summing up the title for the uninitiated. The clip is two minutes' worth of highlights that include ground and space combat gameplay as well as plenty of beautiful vistas, starched Starfleet uniforms, and of course, the menacing Borg. Head past the break for the new trailer, and don't forget to check out Massively's archived livestream feed from yesterday's free-to-play launch day festivities.
Captain's Log: Resistance might actually be futile
Captain's Log, Stardate 65112.3... Hello, computer (and players)! They're mean, they're green(ish), and they are of a collective mind... they are the Borg, and resistance is futile. As most of you know, the Federation's most feared enemy plays a major part in Star Trek Online, and while the Borg are the current endgame "baddie," players find themselves on a daily basis in situations that force them to avoid assimilation. Be they in Deep Space Encounters (DSEs), Special Task Forces (STFs), or random explore missions, the Borg are out there and planning an invasion into the Alpha Quadrant. Bad news, Captains -- their plans are about to come to realization. Later this month, the Borg Fleet Intercepts are scheduled to commence, and as the Borg take up their offensive stance, players of all ranks are going to be called to the front lines. Since this is the first "global combat event" the game has ever had (not including one during beta), players are excited to see what is in store and what they're up against. Luckily, being a member of Section 31, I was able to gain access to some secret intelligence that contains the Borg's plans, and Captain's Log is about to let you in on them so you know how to organize your counterattack. Ensign, warp 10! Let's prepare our readers for the impending invasion...
