Stayed away from this game before becuase of negative feedback , but latley ive noticed some new players , giving some good reviews of STO , so picked it dirtcheap from Steam the other day , and go figure , I am having a great time with it, Now i am only Lvl 1 Lt Com and i dont know what the future holds , but the ride has been very enjoyable so far ...

I actually noticed the same thing with reviews lately... I played beta and it was horrible, then it launched and was still horrible... but it seems that the team made significant improvements to the game scince then... I went out to the store and got 2 copies and am about to re-install and patch :)

I also stayed away due to the bad reviews, and the fact that Bill Roper was involved with the project. Recently picked it up and found it to be a lot of fun, to my surprise. Ground combat is still the game's weak point IMO, but that's getting a revamp in the near future, supposedly.

I'll be sticking with it for a little while at least.

Glad you guys found a game you enjoy.  If in a month or two you find yourself bored of STO, be sure to come back here and update this post.

I played in beta from day 1 until close. I really....And I can not stress how much, really really really really really really fu%^ing hated it. Thought the game was like Satans afterbirth, My boss gifted me a Steam cd key a few weeks ago. I also am really having fun. Don't care how long it lasts. I did not buy it. Right now, it's good fun. As the O.P stated....Go figure? And to the next the poster who says "Congratulations for enjoying such a shallow game!" My rebuttal is "What's it to you? and F%^K off!"

I also stayed away due to poor reviews.    About a month ago I got it cheap and quit playing after about two weeks, not even logging on to play the last half of the free month.   I love Star Trek, and I will say this game captured the look and sounds very well.    But the gameplay was just so.....ugh.    Almost everything about the rest of the game was very un-Trek-y.

I was disapointed with the launch but came back about a month ago and am also having a good time.  I really love sector space, the weekly episodes and the foundry missions.
