Star Trek Online Review: Part II

The types of ships available through the C-Store are mostly redresses and refits, but some features are exclusive and cannot be obtained in any other way, such as the ability to replace "NCC" with "NX" on your ship's hull. Another interesting feature I noticed is the ability to change the ship's pattern (the design that is visible from the bird's eye view, on the saucer section). It is also possible to use parts from other ships in the same category, such as using a Constitution-class hull, but Vesper-class nacelles and Excalibur-class struts.

Star Trek Online uses multiple types of currency, but the most widely used are Energy Credits. The other types are: Dilithium Crystals, Gold Pressed Latinum and Cryptic Points. Cryptic Points aren't required, but they do make things easier on you. In order to obtain Cryptic Points, you either need to trade for them using Dilithium Crystals, or purchase them with a credit card. From what I've found out through the game's forum, things aren't terribly expensive. Many things in the game that are purchasable with Cryptic Points (CP) are 400-600 points, which is roughly 2-4 dollars, depending on your currency. Energy Credits (EC), are what you get when you sell weapons/equipment. You can also use your replicator to recycle items to free up inventory space or earn EC. Dilithium Crystals (DC) are refined from Dilithium Ore, obtainable through some missions. You are limited to refining 8,000 DC per day (24hrs), which sucks, but the DC you are allowed to refine can be exchanged for CP, which are roughly 250-60 DC.

Overall, the game is worth it, if you are willing to invest a lot of time (I mean, A LOT) into it.
