  What about it being a janky MMO takes it away from being your ideal game though?

  Quite a bit, I think. It being an MMO has some practical consequences, namely the fact that I can’t play it offline and the monetization of the game. It also influences the game mechanics: For example, STO’s combat uses tabbed targeting¹. I like tabbed targeting² but I don’t think it’s the peak of combat systems; a different combat system could/would make the game more engaging and enjoyable.

  I can look at the individual parts of the game. There STO shines. But when I look at STO as a one compact package, it doesn’t.

  ¹ It also has a shooter mode but I remember it being janky as hell.

  ² I’d actually love to see a sort of “offline MMO” which would use tabbed targeting.
