Hands on gameplay @ Games Radar (aka: the best STO article I've ever read)

Wow, just WOW. I'm not surprised by the issues with ground combat. To be honest, I've never seen an MMO with ground combat that I enjoyed greatly or was truly impressed by. Overall they said a lot of really great things about the game.

My favorite excerpt from the article: "We sent our chief Science Officer, Hax, into the Gorn’s disruptor fire so that she could apply her excellent research skills to the burn wounds she received and learn to improve our defences." !!!!!!!

I really enjoyed that article. Warts and all made for a good read.

That was awesome, thanks...I'm not worried about the ground combat, I think it'll work out ok. Besides, I'm more interested in the space combat, the ship and character customizations etc... There will be plenty to do in game that won't disappoint...

All I know is on day one I'm going to DS-9, then Risa...for some more RnR

Absolutely FRIKIN' WWOOOWWW!!

awesome read...good info in there too (hint hint)

Interesting article. I have some more reservations, but still being in closed beta I'll hold off. They've already been voiced to Cryptic, so I hope they take note of feedback. I just hope they get most of it fixed and polished by open beta...
