STO is still an unknown quantity, though if it operates like other MMORPGs, I'm sure Gene would have given his comments, and Paramount would still have licensed it.

There were only two ways for "classic Trek" cast members to appear in a movie with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation: either Capt. Kirk and his contemporaries would have to be very, very old, or there would be some time travel involved in the plot.
Star Trek Generations is simply a great transition movie, handing the torch from Captain Kirk and crew to Captain Picard and crew.
Generations is one of the really overlooked Trek films that some fans seem to love to hate; with the task of killing off the legendary Captain Kirk and launching the Next Generation cast's big screen series, it has to accomplish a lot in the space of two hours.

It sounds like Star Wars Galaxys with the first or third person perspective, i was hoping more along the lines of Eve Online rather than Star Wars Galaxies.
I would of thought that it might of been better going more along the lines of Star Wars: Enterprise universe, as it is a bigger galaxy to explore at Warp 5 rather then zooming around at warp 9.9 everywhere.
There's a roleplaying group, pretty large now, email and IRC for star trek, they are a perfect example of what it'll be like, not to mention they will try take it over as their own.
