Star Trek Online heads free to play later this year, leaving players wondering what will be available with no cost attached, and what players will be expected to cough up some Cryptic points to enjoy. Well, thanks to some much needed love from Cryptic Studios, I can tell you exactly what will be made available:
- All sectors and missions are available for free. This includes fleet actions, events and dailies, featured episodes, special task forces, and Klingon play.
- All classes are available for free.
- Races have the same availability to free players as with members.
- All ships are available (barring premium ships, which members have to buy as well)
As for limits:
- Limited to 2 character slots (out of 3)
- Limited credit storage (unknown amount)
- Limitations on fleet (guild) creation.
- Maximum 48 inventory and 48 bank space (out of 72 and 96 respectively)
- Cannot create foundry projects (can play other player’s creations)
- Cannot obtain veteran rewards.
- Will wait behind subscribers in the case of server queues.
- Limited access to mail and chat (this limitation is waived after 20 hours of gameplay or if the account has ever been a subscriber/made a c-store purchase)
- Limited forum access (waived for past subscribers)
- Limited customer service access.
- Advertisements in vivox voice chat.
