Star Trek Online for PS4 is pretty good!
Star Trek Online for PS4 is Star Trek Online. Sure, the controls are different from the PC version, and it’s a little dumbed down, but the basics of the game is still there and it is still fun. It also looks pretty good, so they’re taking good advantage of the PS4’s graphics capabilities. There were…

Fun and Frustration in Star Trek Online
I’ve been playing a lot of Star Trek Online recently. In fact, I’ve played more in the last couple weeks than I played in the previous couple years. The Risa Summer Festival is what got me back in, because I wanted a nice new ship (and it is a nice Escort class ship), but the…

Star Trek Online: Making a Fat Bajoran on Risa. Adventures of Lt. Cmdr. Fatass
I decided to experiment with the character editor to make my Bajoran Female character look more like the reality of myself and many other ‘Muricans with a little (or a lot of) extra weight. Unlike all the other avatars I see in their tiny swimsuits on Risa, Lt. Cmdr. FatAss here has as large a…

Star Trek Online Graphics Bug: Flying Without a Floater
Even with yesterday’s patch, my studly Joined Trill Admiral in Star Trek Online is so badass that he can fly in the Risa events without a floater. Or at least he’s pretty good at hiding his floater (the jetpack thing used on Risa). The video below shows it. I think it is the outfit he…

Star Trek Online Swimsuits on Risa
I’ve been enjoying the Star Trek Online Summer Festival on Risa, working towards the “pearls” needed for both the Risian Corvette and the Risian Cruiser. I’m also busy earning “favors” to get swimsuits for my two female captains. Now that I’ve achieved that (see below), I will look into better jetpacks and even shorts for…

Sexism in the Star Trek Online Graphics Engine?
I really like the relatively recent update to the initial character screen in Star Trek Online. It shows your heroic Captain as well as the 4 main Bridge Officers (BOffs) with your majestic starship up above. I recently broke my long tradition of only playing male characters in MMOs by creating a Klingon female Captain…

Star Trek Online at 4K Resolution Screenshots
I’ve been saying Star Trek Online works at 4K resolution, but I haven’t offered proof. These screenshots are nice examples of how good things can look at 4K. Of course, my Ex-Borg Romulan isn’t the most attractive guy, but the pictures give a good idea of how the game looks at 4K. Click on the…

Gaming at 4K update: Star Trek Online Still On Top
Since I got my 4K TV/monitor, I’ve been experimenting with games that can run at 4K resolution (3840×2160@30 Hz in my case). As I noted in my last post, Star Trek Online works very well at 4K. I’ve continued to play STO at 4K and couldn’t be more impressed. It looks good at that resolution…

Choose your favorite Free-To-Play MMO: Star Trek Online or Lord of the Rings Online
Massively is having a vote today between my two favorite F2P MMOs: Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and Star Trek Online (STO). I enjoy them both tremendously, as I think both have created compelling stories and fun content based on their respective universes, so I decline to vote one over the other (though frankly,…

Eclectic Game Playing Recently (Pocket Legends, LOTRO, Star Trek Online, and Planetside 2)
In this case, by Eclectic, I mean random, crazy, no theme or consistency… I’ve been very busy recently with work and personal projects, so I haven’t had a lot of time to play games, and when I have had time, it has been in small increments. The exception to this was Fable III, which I…
