Well from the start you can tell it isn't going to be anything like legacy.Legacy was an attempt to re-create SFC with better graphics and gameplay...Bethesda failed miserably.

ST:O is much more...well it's for the more cannon loving people,the role players you used to always see in Bridge Commander servers.It's WoW meets Star Trek.Replace the Warlocks & all that with the Borg or whatever they've brought in for this and make all the changes and you have ST:O.Well I know it's a lot deeper than that but thats the best way to describe it.And cause the whole game is online there is no way Perpetual can f**k up on the connections cause they can't afford to.

um... and there I see the problem: Because i think that Perpetual will come up with two things: a good MMORPG game or a good Star-Trek RPG (i.e.: i fear that a lot of Star Trek RPG Fans will not like St:O because it is not "canon" enough for them and if Perpetual makes a game for those "hardcore" Star Trek RPG fans then no one else will play it; the other question is: how are you gonna put the  life of a Starfleet officer into a RPG game, that makes fun. Well unless the first impressions/ reports of the beta phase, which is scheduled for Summer this year if i am correct, i doubt that they will come up with anything "good"
In the worst case scenario it's going to be a clon of WoW ->

bring me 10 Datapads from the Alpha-Ceti Station;
Scan 20 class IV comets and bring me the results;
Bring me 25 exotic plants from 25 uncharted planets in sector $somewhere

There are several interviews here which you should find very enlightening.  I really do think they're going to do a great job, and they even say you can choose how strict you want your experience to be, so it looks like it might appeal to both trekkies and casual gamers.

A year and a half to go, assuming it won't be postponed.

Well, alot more info has come out; and while it looks very unlikely that it will be canceled now, i must say it seems less appealing.  Namely, captains are the pilots-which really pisses me off.  Also, there won't be any ship interiors for player ships, and only a few people can be on a ship, which means a large group of people would have to form an entire fleet!  This isn't neccessarily bad, but I'd miss the experience of being on a ship with alot of other people exploring the ditant reaches of the galaxy.  There's also the fact that many of the larger ships like sovy or galaxy will simply not be available for players.  Half of the game is personally walking around in an environment, though, and not much info has been released on that yet.
