I've been playing for a few weeks now, at a very leisurely pace (I'm only level 11 right now, having recently earned my new ship). So far I keep liking the game, even though I can't shake the feeling I'm playing a RPG instead of a MMORPG. Oh, and the players keep complaining but apparently it's standard for MMORPGs.
We might try to form this Trekrpg fleet someday...
