Star Trek - Infinite Space will be set in the Deep Space Nine timeline.

German-based publisher Gameforge announced today that it has teamed up with developer keen games to launch a free-to-play casual browser-based Star Trek MMO in the summer of 2011.  Star Trek - Infinite Space will be set in the Deep Space Nine timeline and will feature the input of expert Star Trek consultants Denise and Michael Okuda.

It's safe to say that this casual free-to-play game will provide a vastly different gameplay experience from Star Trek Online. Will you check out the game once it launches? What are your thoughts on the Deep Space Nine setting?
