Me too! I need to throw around the "Hey - I'm Press!" credentials to them - hehe.

Interesting they have what looks like the new Enterprise on there.

I wouldn't say it was the new Enterprise. It shares a few features perhaps but is definately a different ship.

Has anyone out there reserved their copy of the game yet? I just reserved mine at Game Stop and found out that they are coming out with a collectors edition. I can't wait for this game to come out. This is what it comes with.

•   Limited Edition Collectible Box
•   Exclusive Art Book
•   Buddy Passes (Allows your friends free trial play)
•   Exclusive Die Cast Starfleet Comm badge (pin)

Also for reserving Star Trek Online at GameStop you get an exclusive in-game Starfleet Constitution Class Starship. This unique, upgradable starship comes equipped with blue phasers and an extra engineering station mod slot.

Granted it won't be able to hold it's own against newer ships... but it will be fun to fly around in an old Constitution Class ship.

Is there going to be a Treks in Sci-Fi fleet in STO?

Rico · November 19, 2009, 04:02:00 PM

I don't reserve or preorder anymore. Always plenty of copies around on release day/week/month.

That sounds like an awesome idea!!!

Well, I'm certainly going to be trying the game and I hope the rest here that play can join up and we can form a Fleet together. Quite a bit of new stuff about the game, including the video below that shows you checking out your bridge and other features in the game.
