Actually there was quite a clever reason for that. The space TRIBBLE explain the reasons behind the Federation prime directive and what happen when they are violated.
space Greek gods,
Why not, why could greek gods be highly evolve alien beings that saw humans as a play thing.
Kirk being rode like a horse,
Kirk never actually shag anyone in the show, sure he kissed a couple of birds but never shag.
a virus that gets you drunk,
Actually that not that outlandish.
We know parasites can induce certain behaviours in mammals, cats for example. Certainly patents with mental conditions have shown signs that they have been infected with the same parasite. So a virus cause someone to get drunk thus preventing them from being able to fine a cure or administer medications isn't that outlandish and evolution could stumble onto such a survival tactic, billions of stars trillions of planets, it not that unlikely.
a virus that turns you old,
Virus that rapidly ages you, if the virus attack tenimeres its very likely it would speed up the body aging process. May be a bit of dramatic to reduce this to just a couple of days. But it possible that such a virus could cuts decades of your life.
space hippies,
a probe that talks to whales,
Why not, why couldn't an alien life consider wales to be more advance.
There's this game, it's called World of ********. They did something similar to Craptyc here and have been destroying their flagship game. Why? They started listning to the children, and not the players.
Now WoW is losing ground steadily because of it. Millions are cancelling their subscriptions. Perhaps you should rethink things...
Oh wait, it's F2P, no one cares...
But you are going to lose a lot of players over this, I can promise that.

Doesn't explain the Hirogan who decided to play as the SS on the holodeck.
You would figure the Hirogan being the renowned hunters they are would pick a group other than a bunch of poorly trained, undisciplined, politically appointed occupation troops to play as.

Wales, advanced? Have you ever encountered the Welsh? Bunch of sheep shaggers and football hooligans!
...
...oh Whales!
Yea Whales are an advanced species with not even rudimentary technology, let alone tech that would allow them to communicate with aliens from across the galaxy.
Unless as SF Debris one pointed out we are meant to believe that Whale songs are so powerful they travel on groove waves though space.
My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.
Well I for one want to say that I find these very exciting, freaking dynos with lasers! yes please. I found new romulues ground play boooooring and never repeated after the first try, but this is looking promising imo.
Please tell me there's a mission where you play as some sort of raptor that you hack with nanotech (sort of like all those 'play as enemy ship X' missions, but on the ground), and get to fly around with a jet pack and shoot stuff?

Whilst I have some concerns/doubts (it does seem a bit jumpy sharky), I am willing to give this season a chance.
The Voth are actually one of the more credible opponents due to their huge tech/age advantage. If they are well designed, and are done in a way that 'makes Trek sense' (ie: is credible and not overly outlandish) then they could be a fun and interesting opponent.
This is unfortunatly not star trek. Dinosaurs with laser beams? We are going backwards. Anyway the Voth or prehistoric species evolved to become humanoids, standing on two legs with arms, and they are bringing in prehistoric creatures with laser beams... Waste of money and time PWE.

Yeah well, no matter what ANYONE says in here, you can bet they will ignore us all. And put it into game anyway. Because we do not matter, all that matters is the smell of that dirty cash going into their banks...
I have to say it bluntly, i hate the idea. Trek was about exploration, space battles and moral discussion where you learnt something new everyday, the joy was in understanding and striving for a greater cause while trying to get away from the negative side in all of us.
Sure it sounds a bit dull but thats what made trick big. Sci fi effects and moral plays in a starship.
This is absolutly right, but it' not all that Star Trek was. It was about exploration, but not just exploration of space in a space ship, but an exploration of ourselves, and trying to expand past our puny little selves and try and see things in a different light. Some of it was morality, a very good portion of it was morality as you said, but another portion of it was just trying to get past the mundane into something greater.
It's why Gene Roddenberry said in interviews he did some of his craziest things, to try and get us past the mundane. I'm sure when Gene pitched the idea for some of the creatures and ideas he pitched, he got the same negative response "This is stupid, this isn't Sci Fi, this will never work, I'm never going to watch your show."
Decades later his craziest most memorable ideas are the ones we remember the most, along side some of his most memorable moral choices. Gene was a visionary, he saw that "silly" and "stupid" made great Star Trek, and he went with it, and decades later we're playing a game that is celebrating his vision.
So call Dinosaurs with Lasers stupid. Call it "not Star Trek", because honestly I think if Gene had thought of it, he'd have gone with it, and loved it, and we'd be celebrating it today in STO.
It seems a lot of people cannot get past the dinosaurs with lasers part but if you read the dev blog it says the Viriosaurus Rex is best approached in a group which leads me to believe that it will be a hard mission that requires 3-5 players similar to how you fight the assimilated gorn in the deferi invasion zone, this says to me that it is probably not going to be a commonly occurring enemy otherwise it would lose its wow factor. The smaller raptor dinosaurs will probably be more common but we really don't know how many dinosaurs there will be, whether they are common or just specific to certain parts of the story/missions.
Personally I'm hoping that we don't just roll through and kill everything as is typical with this game. I would like missions that allow us to explore different areas of the sphere, solve problems that require some thought in order to advance and maybe and have some actual interactions with the Voth before we ultimately have to fight them. Perhaps even tying some missions into our commendation levels similar to how the diplomacy skill is used in certain missions in the featured episodes.
What I would like to know is where in the Delta Quadrant this sphere is supposed to be. Personally I would like it to be near the Talaxian homeworld as nothing would be better than having a Talaxian bridge officer like Neelix. They could even release his outfit in the cstore.
Also a Voyager pack would be a cool idea like they did with the DS9 pack - It could include a replica of Voyager's bridge, some of its interiors, Neelix and Kes's outfits along with the jacket Torres wore for a while and they could include the class2/type 9 shuttle and the compression phaser rifle. Klingons could just get the Neelix & Kes outfits and the rifle. They could also add in a few delta quadrant duty officers as well to sweeten the deal.

That poll is not related to this Season, nor was the poll before it asking which series players wanted to see more of. The Voth were revealed at STLV earlier in August, before that poll, and have been in development well before that.

Go rewatch the TOS episode: Wink Of An Eye and pay close attention to the scene in Kirk's quarters where Deela is twirling her hair, and Kirk is putting his boots back on. :eek:;)

Captain: Consider it a new punishment duty for wayward junior officers.

we are gonna get our butts handed to us. I hope we (players, all races) can come up with better armor/shields/weaps, ships and tactics than we currently own, it literally sounds like players will seem like little kids using spit wads from straws and insults whilst wearing little girlie frocks against giant battle hardened techno-juggernaughts.:eek:
