Star Trek Online's free-to-play model revealed

The Star Trek Online website has been updated with information on the game's forthcoming transition to a free-to-play model. In short, you'll be able to play the entire game, including new episode content, exploring the entire STO universe, having your own ship, and all existing missions, entirely free. New and existing subscribers to the game will get additional perks such as additional customisable features and greater flexibility in the ability to store various in-game equipment and currencies.

The exact details of differences between subscribers and free-players are still subject to change, and there's no date set, but STO should be free later this year!
