there's still Black Prophecy and JGE to look forward to incase STO sucks. there's always a bright side
As much as Im looking forward to those games I really dont have much faith in them succeeding.
BP is being made by Reakktor who also made NeoCron and we all know how well that turned out. Even though the game is still Live you cant create a new account. Which has been broken for over 3 years.
JGE is made by NetDevil who is also making Lego Universe at the same time. This is the same company who made Auto Assault which was an Epic Fail. Does anyone really think they can do 2 games?
i loved auto assault! me and a buddy would still be playing it, even if we were the last two people on the server.. which we were pretty much haha
Auto Assault ftw! That game was awesome, really loved it. Bring it back I say.
As far as a FPS space game goes, SWG is still giving me lots of enjoyment.
Lately I bought a YT-1300 (like Hans ship). You can bring a group up in it. I been helping my friend level his pilot up by letting him man a turret when I pilot. It's lot's of fun having multiple people work together in a ship.
They have MANY (player run) RP space PVP events. The pilot community is top notch.
There are many ways to "trick out" your ship, from it's engine, shields, to even it's looks
You can also decorate the interior.
P.S. or if you prefer Boba Fetts ride
Plenty options, plenty ships. People forget SWG has a space side, that was never "NGE'd". The pilot community on the healthy servers are very much active. Servers like Flurry, Starsider, Bria, (euro)Chimera, are very well populated. The RP events thrown by players are a blast.

Neocron and Auto Assault were misunderstood pearls. Both great games that gave me tons of fun and so many great memories.
Reakktor is a great company and some of the guys there make awesome drinking buddies.
I think the CO engine is the ideal engine for a ST game if they can come up with a space counterpart/battle/ships.
I'm sorry but,
ahahahahahaha
The CO engine is why all ground based stuff looks like death. To avoid the camera crashing into everything the ceiling is absurdly high. It works well for CO where you are other outside or potentially be in a grand hall. But standing in a ship with a 20 foot DOOR beside me? It doesn't really work to help hide how butchered the scale is.
The game is extremely instanced. Public spaces is nothing but travel, and despite there being an auto grouping function you either need someone else doing that mission or you end up doing it alone. It makes things act as a wave, the population sort of moves as giant mass so they can keep doing missions in groups, if you fall behind , the majority of people are done that mission and you either wait to find someone else to do it with or you solo it, and then solo the next one and so on..

And don't even get me started on autogrouping
+10%.
