Get the basics on this game in development.

Have you heard of Star Trek Online and wanted to know more, but were too overwhelmed by other games releasing now to track down the sparse information on your own? Well, now you don't have to! Gathered in this handy dandy preview are all the major talking points about STO that have come out so far - including several you probably haven't heard about yet.

You captain a starship right from the start, but you're not technically a Captain in rank: that's an accolade you'll have to earn, along with bigger ships. When you do earn a new ship, you can customise its nacelles, stanchions and saucer.

The regular cast of your space-faring adventure will be your Bridge Crew, heading up Science, Navigation and Security.

It's short, but it's a good information read. To read the preview for yourself, please check here.
