Title says it all really ,more info at the link below http://www.startrekonline.com/f2p ........Klingons on the starboard bow *roll on midnight Is it really free-to-play? A lot of people who have shown interest in this game are understandably wary when they hear that an MMO is "free." There's an automatic assumption that the F2P (Silver) players will not have access to all of the actual playable content that subscribers do. Let me make it very clear: STO absolutely will be free-to-play. All of the content that the subscription holders can play, Silver members will be able to play. Access to all of it -- patrols, exploration missions, fleet actions -- will be open to all Silver members at no charge. Silver member will also have access to all of the Foundry missions, which were actually written, created, and published by STO players. Access to the Foundry creation tool itself will be accessible for a nominal charge of in-game currency. So if you want to try your hand at making your own mission, you will be able to unlock mission slots without the need to spend real money. Sure, there are going to be lots of things to buy in this game, but none of those items is necessary to play STO. What will be necessary, you ask? If you're an experienced gamer who thrives on PvP and you're just beginning STO, it's possible to play without spending anything, but you will be grinding for a long time to earn the gear you believe is acceptable for PvP. However, if you like fancy-schmancy ships or variants of uniforms, you will have to pay for them as well as for places to put them. You can't park a ship or hang your clothes up unless you expand the garage or your closet! It's by selling items like ships, costumes, bridge officers and the slots in which to retain those items that the company hopes to make a profit. All players can earn in-game currency and then trade it for C-Store points, which are usable in the game's store. So once again, technically, if you're willing to play a long time to earn in-game currency to trade, you won't have to spend a dime. However you won't need to change costumes or fly elite ships in order to play and enjoy this game with your friends.
