I have to be honest. The game has greatly improved since launch, not only in looks, but in content. I was somewhat disappointed myself at launch, but sticking with it I saw improvements that no longer make the game a waste of money. Not to mention, there are so many more improvements that will be coming soon as well as in the distant future. STO is here to stay, and it is alive and thriving even. Ground combat is getting a complete revamp here soon, as well as exploration getting a complete revamp. One can completely rank up to max level by doing strictly diplomatic missions if they wish to. There is a weekly episode out now where (like the tv series) people can look forward to another installment of a storyline, and these episodes have been a major hit. There are so many improvements to the game I cannot list them all here, but needless to say, if you were to log in now, it will be a completely different game as when you saw at launch.
