I'm not going to sit here and write out all the pros and cons of this game as plenty of other reviews have done that for you. I will however state with all the hours I've put into this game, it's one I simply keep playing. However, it's not consistent like most MMO's. It's one of those games you can walk away from, come back when a new line of content episodes comes out, event goes on, etc, and jump right back in and enjoy what's new. Star Trek Online is by far not the best Star Trek experiences, but it's certainly not the worst. It does lack the other facets we generally see in the main shows. However, it does put you in direct control of your favorite ships, most of which you can get without paying a dime. There isn't a single ounce of content within the game you can't unlock without playing the game and putting forth a bit of effort and time. That being said, all the story content is always unlocked and free to play and enjoy. Wether you just poking in from time to time to enjoy the new episodes the go live (often featuring voice actors from the shows and movies themselves), or committ the long haul and build up a fleet, build a starbase, and other assets and grow a mass armada. Star Trek Online can provide a nice enviroment to jump into and enjoy wether you're a trek fan in the slightest or not.
