Star Trek Online: The Continuing Languish Mission

[Barrister]

So Star Trek Online released a power metal song in Klingon, performed by Mary Chieffo who played L'Rell on ST Disco.

I'm betting they had double spit shields on the mics for that one.

I've been rewatching Lower decks, and I kinda feel like playing something "Trek-like", but alas modern games are few and far between. So I logged into my old Lifetime Sub STO account and rolled a new character. I don't know how often I've played through the introductory missions, but while the core remains the same it's also changed so many times.

Gameplay is still the same, I guess? I briefly logged into my level 44 character (highest I've leveled), but between redistributing points and what not, I felt lost, so better to start fresh.

Apparently I have over 50000 Zen coins and 500k dilithium accumulated.

The space combat is still fun, the ground missions still "meh". Though hearing Cpt. Nog speak is a bit sad (RIP Jesse Eisenberg). Still makes for good spaceship porn (and newer Trek has mined the game for starship models).

But I might go back to playing Star Trek: Resurgence instead. It's clunky and the graphics aren't exactly the best and latest, but it feels more like an actual Trek episode (set in 2380/81, which is roughly around the time of LD Season 2/3) by going for the Telltale route with a bit of David Cage "gameplay" (turning e.g. aligning circuits or using manual overrides into little mini games).
