When Star Trek Online launched into 2010, Star Trek was lifeless as a TV present, dwelling on solely in rebooted motion pictures which appeared not wholly keen on the reveals. Ten years later, two Treks are boldly on the go – and the MMORPG faucets each of them for its newest contentblast, named Legacy. A brand new quests name again to Trek outdated and new, revisiting some aliens from The Original Series with the assistance of Seven of Nine (together with her new jacket and ‘tude off Picard) and Michael Burnham – each voiced by their tv actors. Ten years is a very long time in Trek.
Seven and Michael are right here in a brand new two-part episode referred to as The Measure Of Morality, out right now. Cryptic Studios explain:
“This episode returns Captains to Excalbia, from the Original Series episode ‘The Savage Curtain.’ The Excalbians have decided to put on another test of Good and Evil, and your characters will play a major part in it. But you won’t be alone. Returning to the game for the first time since Delta Rising, Jeri Ryan portrays a Seven of Nine that’s different from any we’ve seen before. And for the first time ever, Sonequa Martin-Green joins the cast to bring Michael Burnham to life! These episodes are a love letter to the past and future of Star Trek Online, and we think you’ll love this jaunt down memory lane.”
The replace additionally brings a brand new ship combining Federation and Klingon know-how, Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser.
I performed a wee little bit of Star Trek Online years again (across the free-to-play swap in 2011, perhaps?) and couldn’t get into it. Even by the requirements of the time, the fight and questing felt woefully outdated. But it’s saved going all these years when so many others have shut down so it have to be doing one thing proper. Do you play? What am I lacking, gang?
That there Picard is alright, isn’t it? I’ll give it time to see the place it goes. I’m glad to see among the extra questionable parts of the trailers have been shortly faraway from the board. I do nonetheless want Star Trek as an anthology sequence relatively than a serial, thoughts. That’s an issue for Discovery too. And I can’t assist however be postpone by how a lot Picard actually is propped up by folks’s fondness for Baby Yoda.
