All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store. To see fellow online gamers show up at Earth Space Dock in all manner of ships and sizes is a joy and makes for a real community and for me the best Star Trek video game of all time. The Scryer-class Intel Science Vessel is a Tier 6 Science Vessel which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. Beautiful vistas, nebulas and planetary systems drift by on-route to your next mission, along with the classic Star Trek soundtrack, music cues and iconic sound effects and you can see why 1000s of gamers sink 1000s of hours into this MMO every week. Finally the visuals of the game are split down the middle which is very much like the gameplay - the ground team visuals are pretty much rough and shoddy while also recognising the vast open spaces you can run around showing off the scope of the game, the visual up in space though is the money shot. Cryptic has revealed its subscription models raging from 12 months to a lifetime (which adds the Borg as playable race). The options are mind blowing to your chosen character and customising your avatar and ship can be a mission in itself taxing over the tiny complex details. There used to be a monthly as well, but it was discontinued three or four years ago. There are no other subscriptions than the lifetime. Paramount Plus debuted the one-minute trailer at San Diego. Theres been a couple of times its been offered for a very short time (like 1-4 days) at 50 off, and it is usually offered at 33 off for a whole month about twice a year. Lovingly narrated in painstaking detail to such a point you would get out of Earth Space Dock if you read everything on offer. The new Star Trek: Picard trailer gives us a first look at the stars set to reprise their role in the series’ third and final season. Yes it suffers from a zillion bugs, glitches and maintenance works, but the storylines are very much Star Trek. After a decade of hard work and development from the devs, it's fair to say they have done a very good job in churning this very well created universe out for the fans of this iconic franchise.
