Star Trek Online was up for two of ZAM's PAX awards and got them both! The game was awarded both Best in Show and Most Innovative Gameplay.
ZAM.com said "Star Trek Online brings so many fresh ideas to the table we had to play it twice. The gameplay is exciting, strategic and promises to be the MMO that Star Trek fans have been waiting for. Cryptic Studios has given players the ability to embark on a journey across the cosmos as part of either the Federation or the Klingon Empire. Where STO really shines is in its innovative ideas; such as Episodic Content and Bridge Officer system."
In regards to the Most Innovative Gameplay, ZAM.com posted: "Kirk felt that when he died, he'd die alone. After all, what is a Captain without his crew? Gameplay focuses around a crew of bridge officers that can level up with your main character and specialize in various roles will offer a unique twist to the MMORPG genre. In STO, you're never really alone, be it in space or on a strange planet surface. Kudos to Cryptic for introducing one of the coolest gameplay ideas we've seen!"
