While the speaker box rarely pleased spectators fantastic and there were even and cardboard

, but spaceships, though painted with paint, but the aliens, though similar to the pocket torches, but blasters. Thanks to the activity of trekkers space saga lasted for decades: in explanation of Star Trek shot 11 feature films, animated series and several seasons of conventional serials. Behind them, of course, pulled books, souvenirs, comics, computer games, and now "Star Trek" - one of the most-developed fantasy universes.

Get a license to create a MMORPG in such a world - a great success and at the same time a serious challenge. Yes, you are provided with a crowd of admirers, but only on condition that you are exactly recreate the universe kosmosagi. And how to do it, when prescribed by a detailed history of Star Trek concentration of events in a minute so that the plot MMORPG and wedge something nowhere!

Kosmoshou

The editor looks amazing in the game. Can these alien monsters to create that Jabba the Hutt seem cute.

Fate plays with Star Trek Online same bad jokes, as with the original series. Since 2004, the STO was engaged in the development studio Perpetual Entertainment. He was willing engine and graphics, but in 2008, Perpetual bankrupt, the rights to develop transferred to Cryptic Studios, which is now engaged in testing the game. As Cryptic treated with know-Perpetual, not very clear: one of information, they got only concept art, on the other - studio doing everything from scratch. Be that as it may, the European release is scheduled for Feb. 5, and we spent all New Year celebrations in the closed beta.

So, in Star Trek Online in 2409 - one of the safest in terms of plot development. After the events of the last series Star Trek has been more than 20 years, the main characters have died or left the scene.

It looks like galactic map. The ship is on it moves fast, so that travel between different systems does not take much time.

The unit of the world remained the same: in the universe there is the United Federation of Planets, goals and objectives it has the same - to explore uncharted worlds. Pilots Federation, guided by the motto of the first research Starship - "Our goal: to boldly go where no man has ever set foot" - and try to act honestly and without bloodshed. But now, Space Federation covered the war - for the umpteenth time! On the one hand they are attacking intolerable Klingon, which give only reason for fighting, with another - Borg, seeking to trample all under him (more on the major races of Star Trek to see the next sidebar). In these troubled times, every captain in the account.

Creating a character in STO - a long and fascinating. Cryptic generally known for its exterior featured editors - think City of Heroes or Champions Online. Here the studio went further. Experimenting with portraits can not only earthlings, but also many other races, Star Trek: Vulcan, Ferengi, Andorians ... Dozens of sliders, you can create at least an exact copy of a loved one, even the ugly, of a galaxy yet seen. You can withdraw your kind humanoid character stuck limbs of different aliens, add aggressive scars and tattoos, choose the uniforms and racial bonuses. A couple of hours of creativity - and our lop-eared researcher with the planet Chupakabros-3 is ready for service.

Prometheus - the most powerful ship of the Federation, the dream of any player in the STO.

Captains are not born, become captains. So do not expect that you will present on a silver ship and dedicated team. Will present ... but not immediately. Starting you regular officer, who only recently graduated from training at the academy and with the rest of the crew is sent to the colony Vega. Intercom sends out a distress signal, and the duty of the vessel Federation - to help.

Events unfold rapidly, even in the beginning of the game. The shooting inside the Borg attacked the cruiser, landing on these planets, the rescue of the hostages, return to space and an epic battle with a giant cube - the flagship of enemies ... In general, when the end of the training mission, you will return to Earth and brought before the admiral, you recognize a hero and be handed the captain's badge. Here, indeed, the game starts.

Under the banner of the Federation

In the STO is not the most realistic space, but some systems look very nice. Especially if it is close to the giant planet or asteroid belt.

Together with the Captain's icon player gets a lot of combat missions. Almost all of them belong to the category of "search and destroy". Even peaceful at first sight orders ends bloody showdown. You may be asked to escort home the diplomat allies, which eventually will result in polymorphic outsider, and it will have - correctly - to overtake and kill.

Anyone who watched series of the same name, they know that the United Federation of Planets is not a military structure, and the captains on her service was not butchers, producing torpedoes, barely seeing a UFO. The main task of the Federation - to explore remote corners of the universe, to find new kinds of intelligent beings and to establish cooperation with them. All the misunderstandings be resolved through diplomatic space opera characters, wit, and only if all pripret - opened fire. Therefore, the solution developers to make STO in military space and leave behind the social part of the support, not all fans.

Fulfilling plot tasks and patrol missions, newcomers get acquainted with the universe Star Trek, learn about local races and technologies - for example, such useful devices as intercoms. With its help you can contact the quest items NPC, even if he wipes his pants on the other side of the galaxy, reported on performance of the job and immediately take the new one. Another miracle devays, Replicator, allows sbagrivat cheap trophies, not came there to hucksters. Save time there.

Action takes place mainly in the open space - the most-established and filled content of the game. Three-dimensional map of the galaxy resembles an aquarium in which swimming star systems and meteor fields, and among them are worn flocks of ships. Flights between neighboring planets only takes a few seconds. Enough to fly up to the object as a plate on the screen will offer varpnutsya inside. Clicking the mouse - and you're on the spot. Realism, of course, and does not smell, but even forty years of Star Trek fan will understand how to reach the Earth Terra Nova.

Space station in the solar system - the most downloaded. Here, you can always see the ships of other players and interact with leaders of the Federation.

Inside the station easy to get lost. Developers still have a lot of work to improve the maps.

In contrast, EVE Online, navigate to the STO to the keyboard. A good captain must be able not only to furiously peck the key for "firing from all guns, but still control the distance to the destination, time to switch energy from one to the other modules, to substitute a blow to the most protected part of the ship and at the same time keep your tub at such an angle that guns do not idle. Tactical sea, and the duel even with a tiny little boat takes about ten minutes. A large ship can do to cut hours, so that the war in space - work for the patient.

Over time, you can pick up the ship stuffing of the powerful artifacts and recruit a team of experienced officers - it will further expand the tactical arsenal. But still have to die often. Enemies are always more guns they have long-range, and the engines quickly. Fortunately, the ship in case of death is not taken away: you can be reborn in the same system and continue to destroy opponents as if nothing had happened.

Star Trek Races

Officially, in Star Trek Online is available in two playable races - Excavation and Klingon, but with an editor you can create a character trait even bald. In addition, in the universe you'll ever encounter with a variety of humanoids - artful and artless, insidious, kind, honest, brave, angry, with telepathy, greedy, warriors, priests, prophets ... Here are the four most famous race of Star Trek.

Borghi

Borg - a cyborg, coming from the Delta Quadrant of space. In the course of evolution they have lost the sense of typical living beings, and individuality. Any new information, especially about the unknown types of weapons, or humanoid, immediately analyzed Borg, transmitted collective wisdom and will soon become available to all Borg. The main purpose of this race - to reach perfection, forcibly assimilating organisms, knowledge and technology from other worlds. Because of this Borg considered one of the most dangerous and terrifying races in the galaxy.

Klingon

Race warriors from the planet Ko'noS, appreciates the ancient tradition, honor and military courage. Klingon is much stronger and higher than the average person, have several stomachs and lungs and live to 150 years - though rarely before they die, because dying in battle. One of the first contacts between people and Klingon ended in bloodshed, and for hundreds of years, both races have been unable to resolve the conflict. However, mankind - not the only ones who fought with them: because of the increased aggressiveness Klingon in bad relations with many nations that make up the Federation.

Vulcans

If it is not specific structure of the ear and a special form of the eyebrows, Vulcan could be easily confused with a man. As with Klingon, Vulcan hardier people and live an order of magnitude longer - it is believed that since they are adapted to the harsh conditions of life on the Earth. Vulcans childhood develop the ability to control their emotions, followed by an iron logic and thrive with age so that many believe - they have no soul. This race was one of four who founded the United Federation of Planets, along with people, and Andorians tellaritami.

Ferengi

Ugly creatures on the earth's standards, which are guided solely by considerations of personal gain. At the heart of culture Ferengi are the principles of capitalism: they pray and bring offerings of money the treasury of the Blessed, a paradise in their understanding - the Divine Treasury, and hell - Storage perpetual poverty. Male Ferengi have much more rights than women. Because of its quarrelsomeness and greed Ferengi do not have close relations with other races, and wars with no one leading.

Rambo in space

If space is most important tactics and patience, then fighting on foot - this is full-blooded shooter. Two types of weapons and a detachment of four assistants - all you need to run any card with a breeze, whether the ship compartments, forest thicket or abandoned temple.

Some weapons hit the target and bypass shields, others beating up on several targets at once. What is useful in a new mission - not to guess.

The most interesting is that the developers have managed to implement a pause in the game, even if in an instance there are other players. Short hitch allows you to quickly assess the situation, choose priorities and to give orders to assistants. And so it is not abused by thugs, there is a built-in cooldown (ie, some time after use option is not available - this is done to ensure that players are not reaping the pause button every second). As a result, STO - the first online game with a button and one of the first online RPG, where there is physics - well, or her likeness. Every time the hero stumbles upon a reinforced concrete beam or a boulder, they fly off a few meters, like balloons (whether gravity is naughty, whether developers shalturili).

Shooting in the STO boevki different from other MMORPG. Here she is not like the shooter: instead of catching the enemy's head in sight, you can select the Tab key goal and pull the trigger. The game will automatically calculate all the formulas, and give bonuses to damage. Each stem has three types of attacks: standard, special (a two-second stun guns, with rifles - sniper shot, etc.) and kick butt in the face. Some types of damage are better against robots, some - against living organisms or specific races. But the depths of space battles here. To put any enemy force, enough spamming one or two buttons and moves all over the back of the guard, when opponents penetrate the shield. Developers promise that the release could be held combination of shots and skills, and through this quickly destroy a variety of evil.

As in the series, players can teleport from ship to planet and back through a special elevator The Bridge.

Energy Insights - the flagship of Borg. The player alone does not cope with this, so always swirling around the ships Federation.

During the first land the job you will be awarded a basic set of equipment (kit) - it determines your class. Tactical kit increases the firepower of the group, engineering gives you access to grenades, field turrets and useful gadgets, martial teaches kung fu, and science - the ability to revive allies, and to dismantle the enemy's guns. The steeper set of equipment, the more it sewn unique abilities, the most advanced new clothes are a reward for carrying out the important story missions. Kits can be changed easily, so if you get bored to be Rambo - in geeks can turn very quickly.

From Prapor to Admiral

Service to the Federation offers the young researcher set of perspectives, and above all an opportunity to climb the career ladder. All players start at the rank of Ensign (Ensign), every ten levels on the shoulder straps has a new star, a crown of success is the rank of Admiral. As career opportunities open to you new skills and crafts, and jobs become more serious.

Pump may not only his hero but the entire crew. Wandering through the galaxy, players will find yourself hitchhiking officers will be able to change their appearance and specialization, to bring to the planetary raids and train the brains, putting points earned. Skills wards are useful not only during ground skirmishes, but in the space battles: the better prokachany your officers, the more bonuses to the entire ship.

It is a pity that the team only obedient dolls, which can not even talk. If the developers added interactivity and asked the nature of each member of the crew or even given the opportunity to take on other players, STO would become much more atmospheric. But we have to be content with what we have. But it is simply a paradise for lovers to set up all by himself. Each ship amenable to tuning, even the bridge can furnish their own way.

Important ground missions usually consist of several stages, and to pass them for half an hour will not work. But progress continues, and on the planet, you can return at any moment.

Klingon Blood

Borghi landed on the planet and organize sabotage. Thoughtful uncle knows how to stop them.

Once you have enough experience in the battles of the Federation, will have the opportunity to play a Klingon (there is a chance that the release version will be available immediately, but to play for this race in the beta, we had to meet certain conditions). Captain Klingon start from scratch on his planet and the very first minutes of constant fighting - Klingon would never stand on ceremony with enemies and solve all problems by force, and when not around to beat pillows, switch on each other.

Generally speaking Klingon - an ideal choice for PvP. First, they have ships invisible and effective ground weapon. Secondly, everything goes to the fact that this race will swing in the PvP-zones, firing pilots Federation - a month before release Cryptic did not have time to fill the Klingon territory of PvE-content, and are unlikely to leave the game that will change. However, the special needs of pilots, ground No: militant Klingon happy to fight among themselves. The game automatically identifies you to one of the most influential houses - please, plenty defend its interests in the internecine slaughter.

Unfortunately, now fill the hold with explosives and fly repair sabotage in the rear of the enemy sectors can not. Klingon for the flights available a small part of the galaxy, and all conflict sector - instances. Developers want to make a huge map, enter a full-fledged fight for territory, but will address this only after the release. And yet, to take part in the battles, you need to fly up to the hot spot and join the queue. When both sides has enough participants, you will meet in a separate sandbox and be able to shoot plenty - acts something like a bettlgraundy in World of Warcraft.

In PvP Star Trek a lot of restrictions, there is no free loot and other hardcore elements, but in the beta test fights with the players seemed to us much more interesting than the same type of missions.
