    Was a nice job with the article, and had alot shown that i had been curious about. While highly in depth customization is partially fluff like alot of people its usually a strong point in determining whether ill try a game. Part of playing mmos for me involves being able to design how i would truly want to look in that game and world for the sake of immersion and whatnot. Sounds like i wont have any complaints there with STO. I also noticed through past trailers I've watched they got the sound effects down which adds alot to the trek theme of things. To see how the traits and base archetype options affect the gameplay later though ill be curious on. Just as I'm sure a cruiser has its inherent strengths i dont believe that will hinder it from being able to do other things well enough and I'm hoping for the same with the skills and archetype selection of our captain. Id hoping that even if we say choose a science type archetype that we can still develop strong combat abilities , etc. All in all while its still to early to say for sure as i never let myself get to engrossed into hype of mmos launching that STO is still of interest to me so ill keep my reserve in place. I for sure will try this out for the initial month after purchase.

    I'm worried im going to spend way too much time on the creator, making up new races with Biographies attached. That is one of the selling points for me. A game that can constantly flush out new races for me to meet and interact with, player, or NPC, is a game thats worth my monthly fee. That being said i'll likely roll a human (lol), but that's because i want to do my star trek fantasy and be a captain in my image. Which this game will allow us to do quite nicely.

     

    Im interested to hear the music and score's throughout the game. For a reviewer to comment on them, tells me for a fact that this game will give you the 'To boldly go' feeling.

     

    Bring it on i say.

    Longing for Skyrim, The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3

    I can't remember for the life of me where I watched/read it, but I could swear I remember hearing about the ability to Save your Race and than upload/save/share it with guild mates (so you could say for example make a guild with the newly created race),and that way your freinds and/or guild mates did not have to mess with all the slider bar options and such to try and make a duplicate one.

    Don't worry, you've not gone mad. I recall reading something like that in an 'Ask Cryptic' on the startrek online official site. That is a good feature. I think it's time someone sat down, and posted a 'features' section of the game so all these things that people dont actually know exist, get brought into the light, because right now it's like, "No klingon PvE?! Im leaving!!". Sure that will be a deal breaker for some people, but that's the way it was always going to be. It was always clear it was a PvP faction. For me, the genesis system alone is reason enough to pick up a copy.
