Star Trek Online updates incoming

31.01.2010
Cryptic has announced a number of updates to its upcoming Star Trek Online MMO, including endgame raid episodes, more PvP maps, more Klingon content, and a Borg-themed deep space encounter.

The game's not out until Tuesday, but Cryptic is already moving at warp speed when it comes to announcing its intentions to support Star Trek Online with plenty of extra content. The studio has three "high-level" episodes centered around the Borg, titled "Collateral Damage" (in which you'll help save civilians caught in a battle between the Borg and the Undine), "Recovery" (a follow-up to "Collateral Damage" where you must rescue colonists), and "State of Q" (in which the mischievous Q transports you back in time to do him a favor.)

Beyond these high-level Borg episodes, there are also new raid episodes for both Klingon and Federation captains, titled "Infected," "The Cure," "Khitomer Accord" (another time travel episode) and "Into the Hive" - this last one will bring you face to face with the new Borg Queen (pictured).

Cryptic has also announced new Klingon Fleet Actions, a new Tier 2 Klingon Battle Cruiser, new Klingon PvE content, Federation vs. Federation PvP, new maps, and new well-known Star Trek locations like Rura Penthe and all of Earth's solar system from Mercury to Pluto.
