I have been playing Star Trek Online since it first came out, and while I have dropped it and picked it up again over the years I'm glad to see that it's still being worked on and new content is constantly being produced for the game.

The engine the game runs on isn't great, and there are some bugs, but the space combat is really quite fun. Ground combat is weaker than space combat, but you can choose between playing the game like an FPS or more of a RPG style. Personally I prefer the RPG style combat but it's nice you can switch between them.

The end game loot system is one of my favourite things about the game. Instead of hoping that one bit of loot drops from a boss and praying that you roll high enough to get it, at the end of every STF (STO's term for Instance/Raid) you get reputation tokens that you can then swap for gear. This means that you can always get the gear you want and ignore the pieces that you don't care for.

The F2P/P2W elements of the game aren't terrible either. Most of the best ships and items in the game can be sold on the exchange, and while there are certain ships that you need to pay money for they are not neccesarily stronger than the ships that you can buy with in game currency. You can also get the premium currency in game through refining a secondary currency, dilithium, but this is a slow process and you need to be dedicated if you want to earn premium currency this way.

Overall I really like STO, and I am looking forward to the next expansion which is coming out soon. If you want any help in the game feel free to message LittleScarlett@LittleMikey and I'll help you out however I can :)
