    No. It's hybrid. As it offers a complimentary subscription.

    and STO is f2p.
    Again no, hybrid. You can subscribe if you so wish. No game that was previously P2P went F2P.

    That doesn't matter.

    Free to play games are games in which you have no restrictions (like Forsaken World for instance), and you pay by purchasing items or services in the cash shop.

    Hybrid games are games in which free play is (often rather radically) restricted and you HAVE to either subscribe or to pay from the cash shop (often more than what a sub would entail) in order to enjoy the full content.
