Trekkies, pay attention: In Star Trek Online, things are currently turbulent! But it’s not electrodynamic turbulence hindering your spaceships, rather it’s the fourth birthday of the Sci-Fi MMORPG. As part of the celebrations, an infographic with interesting statistics about past achievements has been released, and an update has been rolled out that expands Season 8 with a anniversary event and improves the game in several areas. Additionally, Cryptic serves us a nice trailer. That’s a much better way to celebrate, right?
To be precise, this is Update 8.5. From now on, the Solanae Dyson Sphere offers an exciting mission for you. At a hidden station, you must eliminate a highly threatening technology before it can be deployed. And do you know which tactical officer will assist you? The Vulcan Tuvok, known from Star Trek: Voyager! But you don’t need to be nervous; after all, you are now a respected person in the universe.
Furthermore, the first Federation missions have been revised and enhanced with new graphics and gameplay improvements; there is a new PvP map for shuttles, and a weekly calendar replaces the hourly events. Additionally, thanks to a new system, you can now switch your ships and equipment faster.
A few words about the infographic, which already shows quite impressive numbers. Infographics are currently very trendy; I feel like they are almost appearing weekly (last time it was World of Warcraft). And now Star Trek Online. Regardless, they look nice and are easy to spread.
Mein-mmo.de wishes Star Trek Online a happy birthday. May the force be with you. Oh wait, that was something else. But now: May the infinite expanses of space grant you many more birthdays!
