Star Trek Online

Silica is a 2023 sci-fi RTS/FPS hybrid published by Bohemia Interactive, known for their Arma series. Although from a notable publisher, it's an indie-scale project and not a traditional MMO. Launched in 2023 with early access, it saw some initial interest, but player retention appears modest due to niche appeal and limited ongoing marketing. Its stable but small active user base is typical for similar indie multiplayer RTS/FPS hybrids about a year post-launch.

Star Trek Online is a long-running MMORPG first released in 2010 by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment. Though past its peak, it maintains a loyal niche player base due to consistent content updates and the enduring popularity of the Star Trek IP. The game continues to receive seasonal events and new content expansions, but active daily player numbers have gradually decreased over the years, typical for most MMORPGs over a decade old.
