Eh, not your fault. I can still hope to make it into the open beta in January, after all.

I'd better, anyway, as there's no way I'm purchasing STO sight unseen. I've long harbored an antipathy towards making monthly payments for a title I already own; tempted by the game as I am, I won't pick it up unless I'm able to play it first and see for myself how much I enjoy it (or not, as the case may be).
I'd wait. Considering its the entirely same studio that made Champions Online I'd advice to wait and see what direction they take the game in.
