So the game I have been waiting for is now in open beta! I pre-ordered Star Trek Online so I am in! I got to play it a little bit last night and here are my first impressions…..

Graphics - Amazing! my character looks exactly like something you’d see when watching a show. The actual environments look real even on my crappy old PC.

Gameplay – This is where it gets a little buggy when you’re doing space combat. As soon as you get in range of 2 or more objects, even if they are far away from each other, they will link and attack you which I don’t think is intended. Hopefully they will fix the bug for retail. Controlling the ship is also a bit cumbersome. It feels like it takes forever to turn and get to your desired destination if warp is on cooldown. The enemy NPCs so far don’t pose much of a challenge….you just keep shooting them…they don’t move fast.

Overall Impression - This game could be great when it hits retail if they work out the kinks and make movement/combat smoother. Below are some awesome screenshots too!!! This is what I mean by awesome graphics!
