Star Trek Online’s Chimerans prove to be more adaptive foes after this past week’s patch: “You will now see them gaining resistance to all damage types, once per damage type they receive.” Yeah, good luck with that you non-adapting space captains! And this is just the beginning of the rest of the news! Read on for a […]

It takes all kinds for internet spaceship sandboxes like Star Citizen to hum, and one of those kinds is the industrialist player: the rock cruncher, the space trucker, the material and manufacturing magnate. If you’ve felt as if this aspect of the game is lacking, then maybe some planned updates from CIG will ease your […]

While Massively OP’s MJ already celebrated on Star Trek Online’s 16th anniversary, the actual event had not started yet. Now that it is running, she obviously has to celebrate again! But this party won’t be all fun and games (despite Q’s meddling). Starting with the new episode Curse of Phrygia then moving on to The […]

This week’s Massively Overthinking is inspired by a tweet I saw from SMITE, of all games, where the Hi-Rez devs asked players to propose one god to delete from the game. Obviously, this is not a serious proposition, but in the aggregate, the answers can kinda show a trend in what people are tired of, […]

This past November, Frontier Developments provided a general outline of updates coming through December 2025 and into early 2026 for Elite: Dangerous, including the intriguing arrival of operations, a repeatable multi-step encounter for up to four players that blends ship combat and FPS combat that’s slated to arrive early this year. We now have a […]

No time for love, Doctor Jones, but there’s always time to plunder a newly discovered ancient tomb in Star Wars: The Old Republic! We begin our One Shots column today wheezing and coughing at all of the dust that Lucky Jinx kicked up in the latest pursuit of some Sith Artifact or maybe a Hello […]

You know, for all the MMORPGs we cover here on MassivelyOP, the ones that speak to me personally enough to actually capture my precious free time are few and far between. In 2025, while I at least dipped a toe into a long list of games, the ones I submerged in can be counted on […]

Back in 2024 we first started reporting on Starship Simulator, an in-development multiplayer spaceship sim from indie Fleetyard Studios that pretty much offers precisely what a game of its name suggests. The title had a pretty successful Kickstarter round, raising nearly $500K, while development updates have been offered since, along with the release of a […]

MOP’s Chris and his bestie Britarnya are back in Elite: Dangerous this week, especially since the game’s latest update has made some tweaks to on-foot enemies and kicked off a reason for the twosome to undermine and attack rival factions. It’s a stream of shooting, discovery, and some factional subterfuge today at 2:00 p.m. EST! […]

The player devs behind SWG Legends dropped a new dev report over the Thanksgiving holiday with a look at what they’re working on for the largest Star Wars Galaxies rogue server. The team says it has continued its efforts on the “Bespin revitalization” project that will ideally bring life back to the game’s massive Cloud […]

Are you ready for some hopefully less braindead on-foot enemies in Elite: Dangerous? Then it’s time to test your FPS mettle in any number of combat zones or settlements today because the newest update to the sandbox has brought on some updated behaviors for Odyssey enemies. Ideally, anyway; time and player trials will tell whether […]

Last week, we covered the weird news that Embracer was in the process of divesting itself of Arc Games, which is the publishing outfit formerly known as Perfect World Entertainment that it bought only four years ago. Well, that wasn’t really the weird news; the weird news was that in the same presser, Embracer implied […]

It was already a foregone conclusion that the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo for Star Citizen was primarily being angled as a moneymaker, but this year’s event appears to have been intensely successful in that regard, as tracking data and official funding stats show that the game’s crowdfunding total has now climbed past $900M. In total, player […]

It’s no secret to regular fans and followers of Star Citizen that the game’s Intergalactic Aerospace Expo free-to-play event is also a time when CIG puts out new internet spaceships, but this year’s event has so far been absolutely flush with them, as to date four new craft have been added to the lineup over […]

Did you happen to miss out the time when EVE Online took over a lava tunnel tourist attraction to talk about its recently released Catalyst update? Do you yearn for the rocks and the dark? Well you’re in luck because CCP Games made sure that this distinct broadcast location was saved to its YouTube channel […]

Star Trek Online better hope that it’s got a fleet of space lawyers at its beck and call because the MMO might need them this month. That’s because the title went and started charging Value Added Tax (VAT) to its European customers without notifying them beforehand. “Captains, we’ve received some player reports regarding concerns with […]

While Elite: Dangerous probably would have liked it if players had paid attention to all of the updates it has planned for the rest of 2025 and early 2026, what most fans seemed to zero in on was the Dodec space station arriving on November 11th for colonies, which was slated to be a one-time […]
