So to recap what i'd posted before server died last week..
Game is to launch in february 2010. Suddenly its in Closed beta. People who payed money via a Co sub etc to get into STO Beta arent in right now as "we dont have the hardware to let everyone in" (Read: We are pushing this out as ST fanboi's will make us loads from box sales and then we can spend months patching the game for it fail to even become niche!).
Then they show off this video:

Either way, I'd probably not be picking it up on my return, as the ST universe doesnt appeal to me anyways (Except the Dominion War mega-arc in DS:9) and the game really is destined to the dustbin of MMOs.
