Upon arrival, for a variety of reasons, the player must either defeat a few enemy ships, interact with a few objects of interest, or both. The vast majority of them consist of the following elements: The mission requires travel to the first objective, which is always a planet or star system. The issues present in Star Trek Online‘s combat system contribute in some aspects to the repetitive and irritating nature of its missions. When the time comes to visit a planet for either reason, the player is met with small, somewhat barren environments. Worse, planets discovered during your travels cannot be explored at all unless it is necessary to either receive or complete a mission. Traveling through space itself is something of a chore, as handling a spacecraft is similar in difficulty to saddling an elephant and making it jump through hoops. The great irony of Star Trek Online is the limitations it imposes on players who wish to explore the universe. Encounters with other players are rare, leaving one forced to substitute real-world teammates for bland, insignificant NPCs. Exploration is limited to small areas surrounded by invisible walls trade is confined to a single, automated exchange to players who are not part of a multiplayer team combat is lackluster and often frustrating and missions, while available in multitudes, sorely lack variety. Most players, however, will find that Star Trek Online mimics the elements of Star Wars: Galaxies in many ways – deep exploration, complex trade, fun combat, interesting quests – yet disappointingly forgets the adjectives in its execution of all three.
