Announced?

[erroneous]

In the area if MMORPG development, where so many projects seem to get canned after months or even years of development, I really don't think "announced" is newsworthy any more.

How about not publishing MMORPG stories until they're "finished" - at least finished enough to alpha test.

As a side benefit, we'll not have to read any of the "cancelled" stories the following year...

Won't happen.

It'll be Star Wars Galaxies with "star wars" races replaced with "star trek" races.

They could have done what you suggested with Galaxies. Join the empire as a low level stormtrooper, rise through the ranks - kind of like an America's Army type of thing. Or be a crew member on a smugglers ship. Or become a bounty hunter, and get assignments from Jabba himself.

Nah, just another boring ass RPG game where you sit around levelling up all day. They forgot the MMO part, it seems.

Star Trek is all about exploitation and milking the last few bucks out of a dried out franchise. MMOGs are "hot", so there's a Star Trek MMOG.

Most Star Trek games have sucked ass, they've all been clones of popular titles with Star Trek characters. Descent Freespace, except you're in a Federation vessel, or Unreal with Klingons. I doubt this'll be different.
