Atari and Cryiptic Studios have confirmed that February 2nd 2010 will be the launch date for Star Trek Online for the PC in North America  and February 5 it will launch in Europe. that’s only 2 and a half months away wow when they said that It would be out sooner than you expected at their press conference in Las Vagus they weren’t kidding, will it actually be ready?. Bio Break has a few words to say about the subject and I have to largely agree with him, It does seem all a bit rushed. This game is going to draw large numbers and give Cryptic Studios a much larger presence in the gaming world if it succeeds over the long-term. Thay have one shot. so do it right because the fans will never forgive you if its bad and they feel It’s because of a beta that seems way to short or a studio that just wanted to cash in. I could be completely wrong here and the game is indeed ready for launch in that case  my worrying is for nothing and I will be the first in line at midnight to get my grumpy little hands on a copy. We now know what that copy will look like thanks to MMORPG with our first peek at the box art for STO which looks very combat oriented and fits in with the rest of their promotional campaign and some people have found fault with that pointing out that                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    “Star Trek has always been more about finding the ideal solution rather than just setting phasers to kill. Sure it has to be done from time to time but the best Captains always try to find a way around the fight”     Ardue.  Nov 11, comment                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        That my be true but most people play MMO’s to kill things not to collect rocks all thought I’m sure we will be all doing a lot of that to, if I’m going to captain my own ship then battle with other ships is at the top of my list of things to do I’m not saying Star Trek should be a kill fest that would be a disservice to the whole idea of Star Trek but for the purposes of marketing a MMO  it’s what works the best.
