Celebrating STAR TREK ONLINE 1ST Year Anniversary 5120* 1600 style

Absolutely no Tribble at all :

Cryptic are legends for taking on Star Trek at a time when the movies and series were/ are stuck in a rut , producing a game , and a MMO at that , creating a community and sustaining it over a year , and  doing so using a paid subscription model is no mean feat . Star Trek Online was never going to be in financial tribble  for  Star Trek fans are never going to forget Trek , even if publishers and accountants mistakenly conclude they have ,for people like me just the ability to fly around a star base with  Earth in the background ,already had me converting my Beta to a lifetime subscription as soon as the game launched. 

STO 2560 *1600 ..that's old tech check out the 5120*1600 shots below!

To celebrate 1 year of STO Cryptic have littered the game with these pseudo holograms ,as well as showering bonuses on long term players   , which some how includes me , as  I have managed to play the game for 200 hours..... without progressing past the space dock area!

here are some 5120* 1600 pics I took whilst playing: and yes it flies at that res! click on the pictures and zoom in to see the detail... Remember when it used to take days for armies of German Commodore Amiga public domain coders to ray trace pictures like these at around a 10th of the res and detail ..if only Factor 5 had not been tempted by the Dark Side! 

dude I can see my house from here ....

5120 by 1600 STO gaming and yes you can read the in game menu text !

In the future STO will likely go freemium , as other great MMOs have done , but with fanatical fans , and ever expanding content this will not be for a considerable while . The lifetime sub itself is only really the price of 3 or 4 console games , and you are hardly going to get the same experience from those as you are from a full blown PC MMO  like Star Trek Online. Come on aren't you bored of generic third person fps sequels by now ?  


Currently there are discounts for the lifetime sub to celebrate 1 year of STO . So if you fancy hamming it up in the largest virtual Star Trek universe outside of your head , give it a go . Trek is not serious , even when it is serious ala TNG ,  it is ironic ,sarcastic and constantly takes the mick out of itself , so play with your tongue firmly in your cheek to get the maximum enjoyment.Play with a Tribble skinned mouse and Klingon forehead ridges for a slice of  Shakari

200 hours of game time later the USS 3ch3lon thegamevedas starship is still at space dock!well it is a nice space dock...
