The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Qor'vagh]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Wow, where do I begin. Well, it all began one night when I started
jonesing for some text-based fun again. I hit TMC, referred by a
friend of mine, and typed in Star Trek. This one just sorta stood
out. I went, I saw, I was conquered.
The level of detail that ATS uses is just phenomenal. I never
thought that a text-based game could use 3D space. You get that in
ATS. Like person-to-person combat? It's supported with weapons
ranging from daggers to phaser rifles (maybe more!)
Most of the ships seen in the shows and films are here, and some
new ones that we came up with ourselves to fit our needs. Shields,
cloaking, it's all very detailed, with a great system for having
multiple people run a ship efficiently.
Not a combat twink? No problem, RP is /heavily/ encouraged. The
royalty are always coming up with new plots, and they try to include
as many different empires as possible when they make 'em. What's
an empire? Play as one of nine different organizations. Federation,
Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, and more!
ATS's beginning was set 25 years after the DS9 ep. 'Way of the
Warrior', but we've come a long way since then, and have a very
unique history under our belts. Some of our characters have been
around since the beginning, some are just a few weeks old. All
work together to make this, in my opinion, the BEST TrekMU* out
there! So come on by and check it out! Worst that happens is we
addict you more than Everquest(tm)!
