The restrictions are horrible, unable to craft decent items, can't run, only allowed 2 quick-bars (when you need at least 4 for endgame content to mention a few. The space battles are like a roller coaster, kind of thrilling, but the car stays on rails. No free flight involved. Just move your targeting cursor and let the game drive your ship.
The fanboi's scream about how people are complaining about being able to play for free, but I liken it to someone giving you a book that's at the top of the bestseller list, then taking out all the a,e,i,o's and u's. Sure, you can read the whole book, but its going to be a long, boring process with no enjoyment to look forward to.

Agreed. Just tried the game, the F2P model's KILLING me.
Still, the game itself isn't bad, and they have DEDICATED RP SERVERS!!! WHEEE!
You know what'd be a perfect game? TOR's gameplay (with free movement in space, though) combined with STO's F2P model. Also, crypticarmsman, thanks for explaining why I couldn't post on the forums. Just stupid, isn't it? We ARE players after all.
The only problem I'm facing right now is the fact that I'm unable to play TOR while getting that Chel Grett. I -may- have solved that problem through some cleverly targeted bribery, though. (I convinced my younger brother to do the races for me while I play TOR
)
Edit: Oh, and again in response to crypticarmsman's post: I actually encountered some REALLY bitter subscribers back on Tython yesterday.
