The next major MMO from Cryptic Studios is Star Trek Online, which may bridge the gap in sci-fi MMOs between ship-based combat and avatar interaction on planetary surfaces. Cryptic has been releasing new screenshots and talking quite a bit about character progression lately, but sometimes it's better to show than to tell. That's what they're doing with the latest game trailer showing off footage of conflicts in space and planetary environments your away teams will explore.
The Star Trek Online cinematic war trailer at GameVideos gives some background on the STO setting along with the requisite phaser fire, Borg cubes, and bridges boarded. We've got the latest Star Trek Online footage embedded for you, so stick with us after the cut.

Also, didn't SWG "bridge the gap in sci-fi MMOs between ship-based combat and avatar interaction on planetary surfaces." I love you guys, but even the bad MMOs did SOME things right.

The Federation of Planets mission was not to explore strange new worlds!
Is the UN's mission to explore strange new countries?
This one crappy trailer is enough to make me not want to play the game.

They were quoting the intro to the original Star Trek and TNG. It's called a "homage," yes?

The orginal was based on the Enterprise. That was the mission of the ship that was specifically designed to seek out new worlds and new civilizations.

Looks too cartoony to appeal to me
Lucky for Cryptic not everyone thinks the same about their games as I do
