Goddamn you, Star Trek. Your campy glory pulls me inevitably towards anything with the Star Trek name attached to it, and this trailer for Cryptic's upcoming MMO Star Trek Online is no different. Shown off at this year's NYCC, the trailer boasts all the races that we already know and love (I am SO playing a Klingon), but also an impressive race creation system that allows you to warp yourself into any type of alien you damn well please.
 
I seriously do not have time to get immersed in an MMO, so I don't know when I plan to schedule time to play Star Trek Online, but I know that somehow, some way, I've got to make it so. And yeah, I just quoted Picard. Sue me.

I remain hesitant. Besides, the KOTOR MMO is fighting this for my attention anyway.

The character models look better than I'd expect. Also, I'd be an Aasari.

Well I saw no Borg models so I am slightly disappointed. However I am not sure this would be appropriate given that it seems this game is set during the times of the original series. During said time the Borg were not an established race, so I can't exactly be disappointed. that'd be like claiming disappointment that I can't be Kirk fighting a Hirogen with the Enterprise C.... it just don't make sense.

@Abberrant Thought: According to the site, it takes place 20 years after Star Trek: Nemesis. Some of the gameplay videos floating around even show combat with cubes.
