Because depending on the price, I'd be happy as punch with a newer version of Starfleet Command 3, quite honestly.

Star Trek Excalibur will be there for people who want a true star trek experience - and it's FREE #40

After being very disappointed with Legacy (that was $80 down the drain), I am very sceptical and wary of buying STO before I try it firsthand. Ok some elements do look good, the screenshots look awesome, and when you read or hear the devs talk about the background and gameplay elements they have incorporated it does sound promising. But the game play videos above do resemble Star Trek Command 3. Let's just hope that what we currently have seen or heard to date doesn't do final game justice. Otherwise if this turns out to be a mish mash, i'll be hoping that fan based games such as Star Trek Excalibur come to the rescue for the future of Trek gaming.

First of all, they said that the game had a lot of fine tuning and development to go, and that ground combat wasn't at its best. Second, the demo was designed to be 5-10 minutes at the most. You can't show much story development in that time. Combat and space flight were probably the only things they could give a good preview of in that time. One guy also said they were trying their best to get movement around the ship working before release, and if they couldn't it would almost certainly come for free later on. All in all it looks like it is going to be a very fun game, especially for fans. I had the opportunity to play the game there, and some of you are taking a bit too much from this.

Like blowing off a naccell, hull in the saucer or burn marks on the hull. A bridge view would be cool but i perfer an outside view in combat. As to the ground combat it still needs some work and polish. let's hope that they do some more fine tuning. I would also like to see shield impacts and hull impacts with damage to the ship.

I'll probably try a free trial, if they have one like WoW, but I doubt I'll like it. It seems like an ok MMO wrapped in something that looks vaguely like Star Trek.

Graphics aren't bad, but I thought that Star Trek was about diplomacy, mysteries, anomalies, strange new worlds and new cultures, etc. Even with the biggest enemies, killing was only the last resort. But in this demo, it looks like this will be the "shoot first, collect look later" kind of a game. Which, in turn, means that we only get to decide how we want to blow something and/or someone up.
