This part has me worried:

Players will have the choice to go it alone, group with other ships, or form a crew to maximize the combat power of any single ship. And at higher levels, Admirals will have the ability to form armadas that can be a combination of crewed capital ships and escort ships to tackle high level missions.

Now if it's getting setup like that, can you imagine how hard those missions will be?  

I can see solo guys trying to sneak into the action, then POW they get vaporized.

It doesn't sound that much different than most other MMOs. The most rewarding, high level content requires several groups of players to form a big raid, while other stuff can still be done solo or  in smaller groups/crews

Good question.

I would imagine, if you are a member of Star Fleet, uniforms will be pretty straightforward and not much room for modification.  Maybe in the form of belts or service decorations..something of that nature?

I have never had a problem with this. Some missions should require grouping to gain the very highest rewards in the game. I don't have a problem with people who play solo, but I think that they are missing out on some good, fun experiances. Playing in groups is the main reason that I enjoy playing MMO's.

Should be out around the 13th.

The screenshots are fairly unimpressive, granted its a quick demo, but there's some nasty lighting in some places.

Everytime I get in a group mission of more than 6 people, it turns out in a bad way. In STO we are not only talking about one team of players, but groups of ships with 100s of players on them maybe.

At least we will have the bridge crews for the ships, but can you see the horror of this happening. If you get a large fleet of ships together for a mission, you can have Wolf 359 all over again.
