There’s a new fleet holding coming to STO. Now, in addition to a starbase and embassy, fleets will have access to their very own dilithium mine. Some cool new things are coming available as part of the mine. New Very Rare Armor consoles New Very Rare RCS consoles New Very Read more…
I got my Romulan character up to level 50 in the new STO expansion. Leveling goes pretty quickly in that game, as I haven’t completely finished the Romulan story arc yet, and that’s only “designed” to get you to about level 40. I have some bonus XP as a veteran Read more…
Star Trek Online had an open beta for Legacy of Romulus expansion this weekend. I have a mixed opinion on beta’s; I don’t like to have things spoiled (and need to play through content twice) but I am also quite curious. But since there was a bonus reward for spending Read more…

Since I wasn’t posting anything last week, I missed writing about Star Trek Online’s three year anniversary. Based on the state of the game when it launched, that they’ve made it to three years is quite an accomplishment. The game has come a long way since then, almost all for Read more…
Season 7 for Star Trek Online launches today. Like with anything Cryptic does, it’s a mixed bag. It’s hard to say whether this is two steps forward, one step back. Or one step forward, two steps back. We’ll see once it actually gets running. The big addition for this season Read more…
