In the future could you find more generic pictures of Star Trek as to not associate the (good) shows/series with these (not good) games. Its bad enough to drag the IP through the mud lets not drag the actual series through it too, lol.
I guess this is a move on the facebook/farmville market.
At least it's browser-based and not 3D. Gameforge knows browser games but is not qualified to run 3D games, much less create them, judging by their stint at running Ryzom (into the ground).

Wrong picture. The article on GameForge's website says the game is based on "classic Star Trek"(which means Kirck and Spock), not TNG(Picard and crew as shown in picture).
Gameforge. The same company that bought The Saga of Ryzom when it first went bankrupt, came in telling the players they were going to develop it further and make the game what the players wanted, and then went on an information blackout and basically let the game fail again so they could write off the failure of one of their sub-publishing companies. Good thing the original devs bought Ryzom back.
I wouldn't piss on these so-called devs if they were on fire and screaming for help.

I guess it could be worse; the game could be made by The Multiverse Network, Inc, the company that was supposed to do the Firefly and Buffy the vampire Slayer MMOs. That company truly is the one where IP MMO ideas go to die.

It seems no one here realizes that the browser game market is an entirely different one than the one for STO. That market also has the potential to reach 100X the people.

Another casual, RMT MMO. Bah!
My gaming blog
But the current STO is about as casual as you can go, how can they make it more casual than the current STO MMO?
Hey Mike,

Haven't played any of their games but , F2P I guess it's worth a look. Browser based hmmmmmm.

Made me laugh.
The good news for Gameforge is the bar set by Cryptic is pretty low, they just might make a game that's more fun overall.

This garbage might actually redeem STO.

Aside from the obvious, it actually *might* be good. I mean, if you make *enough* ST games, one of them is bound to be good, right?
