Recently there was a wonderful event - I finally got into the closed beta expected me Star Trek Online. Actually, I do not "trekki" and not ready to argue over who is steeper - Vulcans or Romulans, but still Star Trek, as a phenomenon is very interesting, so by this game I just could not pass.

My acquaintance with the universe began not with the show (which I still have not seen) and not with the recent feature film, as with the old toys on Quake 3 engine. It was the Star Trek: Elite Forces 2, good-quality shooter, which began with the Borg and ended with an epic battle. I really liked it, and even now, remembering the tense moments battles with spiders on some forgotten by all the planet, I smile. Because it was a great game and good such a hefty ticket in another universe.

So, Star Trek Online. For those who have not heard anything about the game - you can read our forum topic, watch the news and videos, and imbued with the spirit of space adventure. Not to say that newcomers will be difficult for a new online game, but a certain baggage of knowledge is highly desirable. I will pass details on what he saw and felt that you also had the some idea about this interesting product. In the end, to win the release date remained practically nothing, and money should be set aside now.

So, you start with a choice of race tightens on his suit, dorisovyvaete couple of scars, or a mole, then get into the game. Interface designers, without thinking twice, was taken from another of its successful product, namely, from Champions Online. Like many other developments. But more on that later. Thus, the interface is fairly convenient, though not very familiar. For example, here the main part of your trouble lies with the clothing itself, the ship and naval commands. You do not just have to carry the bulk inventory pile shmotok, but also take care of their subordinates. In addition, for the outfit the ship, too, must follow. The problem is that on your characters, as well as on your ship changes do not appear. That is, of course, if you take up arms bigger - it will be seen. And here you are wearing a vest or just a jacket - the game anyway. Appearance of a loved one and his boat, you can customize a special NPC, but the choice at the moment there is not very large. Of course, maybe at the maximum level that will change for the better, but experience Champions Online shows that much of this wait is not worth it. Each new suit or another beautiful turbine will have to win or buy a specialty store and not get free.

Each weapon in the game has as much as 3 types of attack. And, it seems, everything. You can shoot a simple shot (because avtoataka missing this shot and you have to use almost all the time), you can use a powerful attack (usually, she makes a special magic - killing someone with a pulse blocking circuit Borg or overturns all enemies radius of destruction), well, a snack you can hit the butt of the opponent in the teeth, knocked to the floor. A very useful skill when you are surrounded, although the damage and causes, but saves often, the more so for bosses, too, works. Arms fair displays and really different from one another. You can find what you wanted, whether it be a plasma cutter or an ordinary laser pistol. They both beat the beam, but the former allows you to "cover" a large area, and the second not only for the time off all mechanical enemies, but in the blink of an eye takes them to the boards. Thought to be over nothing.

But it seems that most of the game will hold for the management of their ships, visiting forgotten all of the galaxy, fighting against pirates and destroying the flying cubes of Borg. Space is very beautiful, most screenshots they ask as a wallpaper on your desktop. Of course, there are annoying problems, which I hope will decide at the end of beta testing. Firstly, some of the planets are just stones, which can stretch. On the other you can take, and in the atmosphere of the Volcano - you can easily burn. This, incidentally, is accompanied by very vivid special effects, from which I do not even get sick eyes. Nevertheless, it was a great adventure.
