So, where are you getting your information about Star Trek Online? Here are several great Star Trek Online links to help get you all excited for the upcoming game!
Star Trek Online – Official Site
The obvious first stop, there’s a ton of data on Cryptic’s official Star Trek Online page, from screenshots and videos to logs of Dev Chats (where STO’s developers answer questions), Information about buying the game, and the Star Trek Online Forums.
MMORPG.com
MMORPG has a lot of great screenshots for Star Trek Online and exclusive “Inside Beta” content. Some of the most interesting stuff I’ve found on MMORPG includes details about space movement, a look at whether or not the game has that “Star Trek” feel (yes), our first good look at character customization, and a rundown on how Bridge Officers work. They also have some new information about Missions. insight into Good stuff!
TrekMovie.com
TrekMovie.com has a great Top 10 Trekkie Reasons To Play and a number of other interesting articles on the game. Check it out!
Memory Alpha
While not technically a Star Trek Online website, Memory Alpha is the best place to get information about the Star Trek Universe. Want to know details about past Federation Presidents? What is the background of the United Federation of Planets? How old is the Klingon Empire? What is a phaser and how is it different from a laser? All of these answers and more are on Memory Alpha! Memory Alpha is an actual location in the Star Trek universe, one you can even visit in Star Trek Online… see the picture on the right!
Google News Search
Oh, Google. You’re so insidious. You can do a search for “Star Trek Online” on Google to get indexed news stories that Google considers worthy. Google News sometimes is a little… special, however. I occasionally get articles in my “Star Trek Online” search that include celebrities planning “treks” up mountains.
GameTrailers.com
GameTrailers.com has a very nice collection of most of the Star Trek Online Videos. They also have pictures and news about the game. Nothing really exclusive, but the layout is clean and organized – unlike 99% of the internet.
Massively
MMO news site Massively has some great new behind the scenes images from STO. screenshots, like the USS Intrepid fighting its way through some Cardassians, and other interesting videos.
IGN
Online mega-site IGN had a great article detailing the Star Trek Online beta on January 5. They also have some exclusive screenshots and videos.
