Current impressions vs hopes for STO

I'm writing this, to express my own impressions in contrast to my hopes for STO but more so than that I'm interested in hearing about others viewpoints regarding this.

 

Personally I was hoping this game would be a good/fun version of Starquest online. I love the concept of starquest online but its not fun. I was hoping STO would inject more life into this concept, with a more user friendly game, some PVE, better graphics & animations, less reliant on a non existent large player base and in general a more rewarding experience. However it seems that the huge freedom and gameplay options present in starquest online won't even be featured in STO, let alone featuring anything like the personal experience of your avatar as opposed to a spaceship.

I've no problem with being able to have NPC crew but I had hoped that it'd encourage PC crews working in the same ship with some advantages and am disapointed to learn that you won't even need to control the ship from its interior or even have the option of anything close to that. Still even more dissapointing for me is that it sounds as though its going to be a quest driven game with less freedom and options that I had hoped for. In short it just doesn't sound as though this game will be for me and I'm curious as to what others opinions are. I've included a basic poll but I hope if possiable you'd elaborate in a post.
