"holographic soldiers"?

Cool, sounds like they found the next step in the EMH program.  LOL, no more "red shirts" but burnt chips.

sounds interesting but what I really want to know is will you end up standing 3 inches from your opponent and blasting them in the face with a phaser for 5 mins whilst pressing the odd hotkey?

Looks like your link to the main story is broken, or at least it isnt showing up for me.

Probably.  Also, space combat will likely be all about spinning in circle shooting at people.  I want to like this game but so far they haven't made any decisions that make me want to play.  No 3d space combat, no ship interiors, the list goes on.  The only thing that makes me want to play the game is the IP and that's just not enough.

It will probably end up using a subscription plus micro transaction model like their other games.  Which means it won't matter how good or bad the game turns out, I won't play it.

I'm right there with you, I really wish they would pick the model and go with it.

I had high hopes for CO and they dashed them, my hopes are now much lower for STO.

Hey hey! Holograms have rights too!
