Quantcast


STOcast announced; Trekkies get happy in the pants photo

Are you fapping under your covers at night at the thought of upcoming MMO Star Trek Online? After my visit to Perpetual Entertainment during GDC this year, I can't say I haven't had a little private bath time myself over what Star Trek Online could become. Thankfully, I have a new tidbit here that you can work yourself up over.

Star Trek-Online.net launched their offical podcast (called STOcast) today on the development of the game, giving those fans waiting with bated breath something to talk about. Expect some general discussion to kick the series off and get listeners situated in the progress of the title. The second episode presents John Eaves, the artist who designed the Sovereign class starship featured in Star Trek: First Contact, to discuss his work with Perpetual and the ongoing development of the game. 

If we're lucky, maybe Podtoid can fight an epic battle across space versus STOcast one day in the future and broadcast it all live. I hope we get to use lasers. We like lasers.

You know...out of all the 50+ MMO's in production, the Star Trek MMO is one I'm looking forward to.

They should make this a free, open source game. Yes, I'm a cheap bastard, but I think the fans would really appreciate being able to pitch in to the success of their beloved 'Trek as well. Of course, that won't happen, but it would be cool.

I want this game to be rad. I'm not a huge Trekkie, but I like the idea of working together to manage a starship.

If it's not fucked up too badly, I would actually play a Star Trek MMO.

Not a huge trek fan really, but this could work. So long as I can get by with very little knowledge of the trek universe I'm sure it would be fun.
Also, pew pew pew.
