ran across this little tid bit while reading about the latest convention on startrek.com

anyone know anything else about this?

Quote:

toward re-opening the Roddenberry Store, and also to demonstrate "Star Trek Universe Online," a new free on-line game which is targeted for launch later this year. The game will allow players to pit different ships from the Star Trek universe against each other, and it includes expressive Instant Message avatars for participants to communicate with. These 3D avatars are so advanced they look like video, but they can be used with 56K modems.

maybe this is somthing that roddenberry.com is doing by its self. i dunno.

Well they if they make it, they will have to provide space travel from the start. As star trek is all about space. and less about planets. Unlike a certain other game which still does not have space travel in it.

i agree. i would really love an exploration/ RP game.

i mean, if you could take, say NWN.. and instead of people - you put a ship for a class.. and sure, you can unload/reload weps.. but your crew would gain XP through main things like running away missions or exploring outpost..

stuff like that where you are emerssed into a galaxy and are spending time exploring (and doing other trek like RP things).. best of all, you wouldnt have to worry about waking up the day after a campaign launched and your whole empire would be gone because of nutters.

oh.. how that would be sweet.

Wasn't this talked about several years ago? Seems like someone posted a link to a "game" at Roddenberry.com, but it was kinda sucky (actually didn't work for me at all), in which you pitted trek ships against eachother (Fed Cruiser vs. Klingon Cruiser if I recall). I think it's less of a MMOPG, than it is a community chat room/quick combat game. That's assuming it's the same game that we saw the demo for, a long while back.
