RAD episode 233-Star Trek Online

Who doesn’t love stuff that is free? Free parking? Free to play?
Ah, yes in today’s RAD we take a look at the latest MMO to head the free to play mantra and that is…

Star Trek Online!

Birdman hits off into the final frontier that is much different then the Star Trek he knows from film and television.Klingons are once again at war with the Federation,the Borg once again appear to assimilate the Alpha quadrant and the Romulans are in ruins after a super nova destroys their home world. It’s also the first MMO that we have reviewed on RAD and we’re sure it’ll be among the last…Birdman dislikes this whole social interaction, now get off his lawn ye pesky whippersnappers! Is this free to play MMO worth our time to download or should perhaps check out those other blockbuster MMOs starting elves or jedis?

Birdman wants to thank the VERY generous mystery fan who sent him something very awesome late last week!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Want to win a copy of Klingon Monopoly and the Star Trek:TNG season 1 blu ray?

Birdman

Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier. Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college. 4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….

    I haven’t tried the new tutorial yet, but in original tutorial you had Miranda class.
    The big thing about STO was the inclusion of the Forge, that allows usergenerated content.

    I have taken a Constitution class ship, just becouse the TOS Enterprise was one, but my flagship is a Akira class class ship tho (still didn’t unlock the higher classes like Defiant class).

    Sorry about the episode problems earlier
    Things should be worked
    Report all problems to main engineering and we’ll flush the EPS conduits and run a level 1 diagnostic.
