Dear STAR TREK ONLINE Fans:

We hope you’ve been having fun exploring the final frontier in STAR TREK ONLINE, the first MMORPG set in the “Star Trek” universe.  We’ve recently announced our first new major upgrade chock full of new Borg content, and we plan to bring you even more news in the near future!

We’re that some folks had problems getting into STO during the beta test period, and also during the “head start” period.  Cryptic’s addressed those issues, and we think so far STO has had a pretty smooth start overall.  Here’s what our team’s been up to most recently:

• They’ve upped server capacity by 75 percent since launch
• They’re adding new hardware and further software optimizations
• There’s a new queueing system in place and the team at Cryptic continues to work on further optimizing the log-in and play process.

Cryptic’s also listening to STO fans’ feedback on ground combat, and have been working closely with them to beef up both combat features and away missions.  (This should be especially evident to those who have been with STO since closed beta!)

It’s also worth noting that STO’s Klingon faction has always been designed to complement Federation gameplay - thus, the Klingon aspect of the game has so far been heavy on the PvP.

But by the Sword of Kahless, Cryptic has heard the fans, and we are working to add more Klingon PvE as we speak!  No full details yet, but long-range sensors are picking up a new Klingon Star Cluster, and our deep space probes are picking up what looks like the beginnings of a Klingon Fleet Action!  We’ll have more details next month, so stay tuned!

Live long and prosper - and remember, Mot the Barber’s shop is always open for haircuts!
