The end result is an utterly broken and unusable internal economy and Zen Exhange rate. There are four major groups in the game that I am aware of that have literally hundreds to around a thousand bots each doing this. 'Botting', if you're unfamiliar with the term, is the use of third party programs that automate the process of acquiring ingame resources while you're away from your computer automatically. The player response to this policy has been to create a legion of alts, and not four or five, the average player I have encountered on this game has around 2 to 3 dozen alts that exist solely for the purpose of playing with the game's broken internal economy, refining dilithium and transferring it to the main character, and botting. The last set were just slightly retooled reskins of ships already in the game. Most of which are lackluster in usage and application, and especially recently, required little to no effort on Craptic's behalf to make. Craptic on average wants 30ish dollars for a ship. So, unless you'd prefer to grind for an entire year to get a ship that will be obsolete in two months, you can always just fork over 60$USD for the pack. Looked at another way, it would require 289.5 days of refining dilithium according to the artificial refinement limit Craptic put on the mechanism to keep you from being able to purchase the item conveniently. You would require 2,316000 Refined Dilithium in order to purchase the Zen to buy that Ship pack. You are permitted to Refine Dilithium at the rate of 8000 total per day. To put that in perspective, it requires 6000 Zen to acquire the new ship pack. The Zen Store currency, or 'Zen' can be purchased at a quantity of 1 Zen for every 386 Refined Dillithium (just checked the Exchange). It is also an intellectually dishonest thing to say. There are a lot of folks that will claim that STO's strongest point is the everything available in the Zen Store can be purchased with ingame currency. The majority of the game's combat occurs in space, which is a tired rinse and repeat kind of combat that never fails to bore, as the engine is so old that nothing really new or interesting can ever be added to it without breaking the poor thing. The ingame models and graphics have the look and feel of Playstation 2 era gaming, which, if you're into nostalgia, is a home run for you. Craptic bought a ghetto intellectual property called Champions, a bad tabletop RPG from the early eighties and retooled the game to fit that). (that one was supposed to be Marvel Online, years ago, but Marvel took one look at the unbelievable garbage Craptic had thrown together and pulled the plug immediately. It's bare bones are the same trash that 'runs' Champions Online, another disastrous failure of Craptics. The game's engine is around fifteen years old and was behind the curve even when it was debuted. Not 'oh that's annoying' kind of bugs, but came crashing item deleting character destroying bugs that Craptic doesn't address or acknowledge.

Their game is a disaster of incredibly broken game balance (seriously, you have to see it to believe) paywalls for even an 'ok' ship, and endless bugs that have riddled the game since launch and never been corrected.

This 'game' is a thinly veneered series of scams designed to force you to remain logged in so the development company 'Craptic Studios' can take those numbers to Perfect World Entertainment and prove they have a hit game.

As long as you don't want to play the actual Enterprise(beyond the starter ship that you buy, only to outlevel it in 20 minutes), Klingons, Romulans, PvP, or lag-free.Īhh what can be said about Star Trek Online? First and most importantly DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR PLAY THIS GAME. TL DR: If you heart Captain Kirk, and want to shell out hundreds of dollars to look at virtual Star Trek ships, this is for you.

They keep introducing massive power creep that only adds to it, and it never gets better. The lag has been horrid for well over a year, now. The gamblebox stuff is highly prevalent, and the drop rates from (paying to) opening one are less than 1% to get something that isn't garbage. Instead of faction balance, they just continuously throw Federation content at you- there are 'buy me!' indications everywhere. There are 3 factions, but, really, if you don't play the Federation one, you endure endless bugs that never get fixed. PVP is not only ignored, mechanics are introduced regularly to make it unplayable. And to be competitive, you need several of these $30 ships. End game ships are $30 each- sure, you TECHNICALLY don't have to buy them, but to grind the Zen you would need for 1 ship (3000), at 22 zen per day (that's if you never use dilithium), it isn't really feasible. STO is a game trying to bilk money out of Star Trek Fans who want to look at their Federation ships.
