Am I supposed to be impressed by the same technology already present in Oblivion, Mass Effect, even The Sims 2? The game will still suck, because they're not yet prepared to make the worthwhile Star Trek game.
The only Star Trek game that comes even close to the spirit of the series will have you sitting at a computer panel on your Starship's deck for eight hours and then going to the holodeck to jerk off.
That looks like it would be fun to play with in a "who can create the most retarded looking character" context. I can't imagine an actual Star Trek MMO would be entertaining at all, save for griefing potential.
(I'm thinking a big fat pink lady alien who looks like Karl Marx, personally)
This is pretty much the only reason I'd be interested. When a rip of the standalone character creator comes out, I'll be downloading it. Illegally of course. I just want to make the funny people. I have no desire to play the game.
"Incredibly Gay Klingon" sounds like a fun griefing concept.
OH, LORD, THIS UNIFORM MAKES MY ASS LOOK SO BIIIIIG. WHO IN THE WORLD DESIGNED THIS THING, THE TORTURE-LORDS OF GALGANIC SEVEN?
GIRL HAVE YOU SEEN CAPTAIN KIRK LATELY? OH MY GOD, HE IS SO DIVINE. MMM, WHAT A MAN!
AW, SPOCK I KNOW HOW HARD THE MATING SEASON IS. LAST SEASON I JUST COULDN'T FIND AAAAAANYONE TO MATE WITH. I HAD TO MAKE DO WITH A ROMULAN IN A TRUCK STOP BATHROOM!
"Endless options" as long as they're all hominids. Because in Star Trek it's been established that all intelligent evolution will tend towards a hominid form thanks to that one ancient race that seeded the galaxy.
Ooh, I know the name of my character now: "Ensign Redshirt McDiesalot" My skills will be jumping in front of phaser fire and getting eaten by people in large rubber costumes.
