http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_snw.jpg Star Trek Online (http://kotaku.com/tag/startrekonline/) isn't all phaser shootouts and epic space battles. You'll spend plenty of time exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations, and boldly so.
I've spent a dozen hours in the Star Trek Online beta, and while I've spent more time firing at enemy ships than poking about the surface of strange new worlds, there have been a few moments of simple exploration and diplomacy. There are away team missions where you never have to fire a single shot, which go great lengths towards assuaging my initial fears that this would be Star Trek: Combat And Not Much Else.
I've still got a large universe to explore, so let's hope the trend continues.
