This isn't a "Doooooom" thread, in that I think the game is gonna fail in a general sense.
But it has failed me (again), and I no longer "look forward to" my future with Star Trek Online. Prior to the forums reboot, I had a thread about story content. During that discussion we learned Season 7 was going to focus on the game's story. That sounded lovely at the time... :rolleyes:
I haven't played STO in nearly 3 months. I kind of figured I'd return during S6 to at least sample some of the new "alert" missions, but confirming during my Tribble Weekend Testing that there's no story, it now turns out that there's not even an interesting carrot to grind for...
Near as I can figure, the "Ultimate Reward/Goal" of Season Six are Fleet Starships.
In addition to months of the new Fleet/Starbase "Minigame" Grindfest, I also have to pay Real World Cash (or someone else does and I grind for more in-game resources) to unlock one of these new Fleet Ships for one character...
:eek:
>shakes head<
Have at it folks, if that's your cup o' raktajino, but that's not me.
I'll keep tabs of the goings-on via the Forums/Dev Posts, and otherwise be waiting for S7, but it's clear PW's monitization strategy for STO will likely stain that too.

Oh and so much for the whole it will cost a LOT less the C-Store ships.
Really, the whole Fleet system is rather disappointing to me. Way too much grinding to be fun. Lower all costs by a factor of 10 and we'll talk.
