MPOGD chats with STO’s Captain, Daron Stinnett, who tells us that pre-production on the game is about finished and the team are headed for actual production of game assets in the near future.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for an eventual release of an exceptional Star Trek MMO. I’ve been waiting for one for almost eight years (when I first fell in love with the massive genre).

They will be able to group up with other players in space or on the ground.’ “
