Star Trek Universe
Well here’s a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game I might actually consider playing: development is underway on Star Trek Universe. There’s a press release on the official startrek.com site and an article about it on BBC UK which has this to offer: “Characters will gain skills and rank by completing missions assigned by Starfleet command. They will get to explore the surface of planets, although it is not clear whether those beaming down first will suffer the same sticky end that was often the fate of crew members in the original series.”

Star Trek Online - not yet, anyway. I had almost forgotten about this project, but found this article which indicates that work is still proceeding on a Star Trek MMORPG, now called Star Trek Online. You can ‘Enlist’ to get on their mailing list (I used an old email addy that I check only rarely), or poke through the News archive there for more info. Now that there is no Star Trek show in production, it seems like a good time for a move online…
