Star Trek Online/Awesome: Difference between revisions

** Specifically, the game opens with your character's first [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. In the middle of a massive starfleet battle, your character is sent over to assist the ''U.S.S. Khitomer.'' Going on a killing spree against the malfunctioning Borg on-board, you proceed to rescue the ship. [[It Got Worse]] is triumphantly prevented as your ship's command staff is executed by the Borg but you assume command and then take your vessel around to rescue the other damaged vessel's personnel. From there, you head down planetside to rescue a bunch of colonists from assimilation and then bring your ship around to join the fleet in blowing up a damaged Borg cube.

*** In a nice reversal of the ''Star Trek'' movie, while you're in command of your own starship at the end of the battle, you're still only promoted to a lieutenant's rank. Your vessel is also one of the smallest and weakest in Starfleet. Still, you can understand why Starfleet stands up and takes notice of your actions.

* You're sent to meet a contact who knows something about what a rogue Klingon "Ambassador" is plotting. She isn't in the Ferengi-owned bar you were supposed to meet her in, and the owner is playing dumb. How do you get him to talk? {{spoiler|You play [[Deep Space Nine|Odo to his Quark]], and inspect his establishment for safety code violations, starting a bar brawl in the process.}}

* B'vat's last project {{spoiler|before being defeated}} was resurrecting {{spoiler|the Doomsday Machine}} to use against the Federation. {{spoiler|His men succeed in his stead. You proceed to use nuclear torpedos ''powered by material from the core of a destroyed planet'' to destroy - yes, ''destroy'' - the Doomsday Machine by firing straight down its gullet, practically like Kirk did, all while a massive Federation fleet engages an equally massive Klingon fleet to ensure the Klingons don't stop you.}}

* "The Sisko has asked that we entrust this task to you." No spoilers, but that entire sequence, full stop.

** Hell, ''most'' of the things that happen in Cardie space are awesome to varying degrees. The climax of it all is worth the price of admission to STO by itself, however.

** {{spoiler|New Objective: Tell Q to Get On With It.}}

* The Reman Feature Episode "Cutting The Cord" ''in its entirety.'' {{spoiler|Your ship blasts through the Tal Shiar's planetary defenses, and you beam to the surface along with tons of Starfleet ground troops to raise some hell. Unfortunately, thanks to some local [[Applied Phlebotinum]], your [[Bridge Bunnies|BOFFs]] have landed too far away to assist you.}} Is this a problem for you? Hell, no. {{spoiler|You then proceed to wage an ''almost'' [[One-Man Army]] [[Foe-Tossing Charge|fight against the Tal Shiar]], while calling in additional Starfleet reinforcements and [[Death From Above|orbital bombardment]] from your ship.}} This sequence culminates in you calling in an {{spoiler|orbital strike to destroy a massive Iconian gateway...which your ship does with a ''[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|full spread of Photon Torpedoes]]'' }}. And the mission isn't even over yet!

* "Boldly they Rode", pretty much all of it. From EVA walking across the {{spoiler|Dominion Captured}} Deep Space Nine station, to the final battle and the {{spoiler|ENTERPRISE-F'S [[Big Damn Heroes]] entrance!}}
