It is even stated by Captain/Admiral Pike in JJ Abrams Star Trek Film "Star Trek 2009 (the first film of the current movies) that "Starfleet (and by default the United Federation of Planets) is a Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Armada". It was assumed that the Player derived Foundry could be used to create Exploration Stories but this doesn't really happen at all (and the Foundry isn't even accessible at all on the Console versions of the game for PlayStation 4 (PS4) and xBox One. With the simple fact that the Federation and Starfleet stands for isn't even in the game how can Star Trek Online even call itself Star Trek when it doesn't stand true to the Star Trek Franchise or the ideals put in place where the Federation is an organization of Peaceful Exploration. There isn't and real Exploration (there was a partial exploration system that wasn't so good (exploring clusters) but Cryptic removed it with Season 9.5 of the game when they did a "Sector Space Revamp". There isn't any TRUE elements of Star Trek whatsoever in this game. In Star Trek The Next Generation (TNG) Captain Picard himself always looked for a PEACEFUL outcome to every situation and only when it wasn't possible the hostile aliens always attacked first. Clearly though the developers of Star Trek Online (STO) Cryptic, and Perfect World Entertainment (PWE) are yet again aiming towards WAR this time with the Tzenkethi! You never see the storyline in STO after attempt to even lead to a PEACEFUL OUTCOME instead of a war for it has always been "attack, attack, attack" when a potential hostile species is encountered.
The Tzenkethi pretty much even say it right in the game, that they are on the "Path of Conflict", a path of conflict can clearly mean war. Currently in STO you are up against the Tzenkethi and it is very clear that the events of this new season are going to lead up to you guessed it, another war. Then from there everything slowly leads into the Iconian War, but before that in the Delta Quadrant the game places the player into the Kobali-Vaadwaur War (or the war of the Vaadwaur against pretty much the entire Delta Quadrant). When you first start the game, you find that the Klingons and the Federation are at WAR. From Star Trek's humble beginnings with The Original Series, Starfleet had one mandate, the "Peaceful Exploration of Space" and "To Seek Out New Life and New Civilizations and to Boldly Go Where No Man (No One) Has Gone Before" (as stated in both the Star Trek TOS and Star Trek TNG openings).įrom the beginning every since Cryptic created Star Trek Online (STO) all they have done with STO has been one damn war after another. By Star Trek Enterprise humanity had "waded ankle deep in the Ocean of Space and with the launch of Earth's first Warp Five starship the Enterprise NX-01 it was final time to swim". After Earth made First Contact with the Vulcans in 2063 Earth was propelled into a peaceful age where they started to look towards the stars and what was out there. In Star Trek Earth stepped into the moonlight after the Post-Atomic Horrors of the Third World War as well as the Augments. Gene Roddenberry had a vision when he created Star Trek and it was that all races could come together and solve their differences without conflict all the time.
#Star trek online second wave series
All this may seem like small gestures, but to fans they're all meaningful ways of showing that the work that made Star Trek important still matters and will always be remembered.Star Trek since the beginning with Star Trek The Original Series had one thing at its heart, Exploration not War. In addition, a plaque honoring all the Star Trek actors who have passed over the years will be erected on planets and installations throughout the game. The memorial takes the form of a monument showing Spock giving the Vulcan salute, along with an inscription that reads "Live Long and Prosper." Executive producer Stephen Ricossa stated in a blog post that "I’m certain everyone who knew of Nimoy's work will remember him in their own special way, and I want to make sure Star Trek Online also has an in-game way for people to remember him as well." The virtual statue has been erected in-game on planet Vulcan, and another will be installed on New Romulus. The memorial is now complete, and it's a beautiful reminder of a career renowned by fans around the world. To honor Nimoy, the team announced that they would build a permanent memorial to him and his work on the series. Video game developer Cryptic Studios felt the loss keenly, since Nimoy voiced Spock in the company's MMORPG Star Trek Online. Leonard Nimoy's passing last week brought with it a wave of mourning and admiration that we're still feeling today.
