Star Trek Online Season 2 Goes Boldly Forth

(trad.) Anyway, a big content patch for Star Trek Online has gone live. Subtitle "Ancient Enemies", we speculate it involves some enemies of ancientness. A scan of the content seems to confirm this, with a whole load of new Klingon missions involving the return of the Fek'ihri. Oh God, I hate those Fek'ihri. They really are shits. Perhaps more interesting to my Star-Trek-Online inexperienced-eyes is the new option for the Federation - that of joining the Dilplomatic corp, going on first contact missions and generally not setting phasers-to-kill. Also, a new alien race, regular episodes with a new neutral race ("Deferi") and the introduction of the gambling game Dabo. You can still try the demo, or have a gape at the new trailer, which shows very little latinum-betting and chatting, but a whole lot of the ancients being enemies. Hence, boom-booms.

Oh - and, as a bonus extra news, Bill Roper's departed Cryptic after a couple of years.

As a matter of interest, is there many Star Trek Online players out there in the RPS readership? What's your take on it now.
