I like mmorpg’s and Star Trek. So naturally I’ll regurgitate this info posted here. It is the first in game screenshot released for Star Trek Online.

Not really much to go on. They go on about the interaction system. But really give no details that disprove the Shacknews article:

Perpetual has been acquired by new ownership, reportedly a media company looking to use Star Trek Online to make its first major inroads into the video game market. Along with the acquisition comes a partial retargeting of Star Trek Online to what our source describes as a “more casual” experience, one which may potentially eschew subscription fees in favor of the practice of charging real money for optional in-game items, a practice popularized by various Korean MMOs.

Dumbed down is the wave of the future.
