1) MMO's from well-known franchises have a poor history. LOTRO and SWG spring to mind.
2) Star Trek games have, almost without exception been *appalling* in the past, with developers relying on the huge popularity of the franchise to sell the games, rather than actually, y'know, making a good game!
3) Er... EVE allows buying in-game items with real money, it's called the GTC for ISK trade. People need to stop fooling themselves that it's anything except RMT really :(
So, I agree with you, I don't think STO will be a major threat to EVE. I'd also imagine that a Star Trek online universe would be pretty "fluffy"... not much room in that genre for non-consensual pvp and piracy wouldn't you say

STO?
So every seventh knob naming their character P1card or Piccard or Plkc4rt...
You get the idea.
Yes.

Yes.
I'm older already, I've grown up with K1rk as a child. So that would be my name.
I'd fight Sh4tner.

Those who mentioned SWG was a flop let me correct you - it was very good in the **early** days before the devs screwed it up for everyone.
Well... it wasn't *very* good. It was OK, it had potential. It wasn't very Star Warsy and it had some serious grinding issues (profession grinding to unlock Jedi slot was a terrible game mechanic).
I think the total horror of the NGE makes a lot of people see pre-NGE SWG through rose-tinted spectacles a bit
