StarTrek Online FAQ Info
For the people who like StarTrek or just want to play it it's world here is an updated FAQ from StarTrek.com (http://www.startrek.com/startrek/vie...icle/6632.html).
Players are able to gain in rank and earn the commision of Captian of a starship, through different departments. Not all the game play is in space, a large part of it takes place in first person shooter style on planet surfaces, boarding ships, and everyday living. A Clan will be able to crew their own ships and build up their own fleet once they recieve the commission(s). If there are not enough active players to man a ship then NPC's would fill in. At first there will only be 3 playable races, Human, Vulcan and Klingon, and only one playable faction, Starfleet. As you gain in rank you gain access to new equipment and new uniforms. Your starships can be upgraded either through starfleet refits or through your own ability. When you die you are revived in the sickbay if its available. If the sickbay is in enemy hands or badly damaged then you wont revive until its back in friendly hands or repaired. No Starship is perminately destroyed, they revive in repair docks where they sit until repairs are complete. Quote:

I can imagine it ending up like Matrix Online, what a waste of time that was.

I can see as well how this could easily fail but if they do it right it could also out do anything else out there. I have not seen or played Matrix online but if it follows the movies then it would have a hard time standing as a MMOG, maybe something like SpiderMan 2 the game but not as it is. Hopefully the company making STO will take the lessons learned by other MMOGs and build off them. One thing I think will help STO is the fact that most of the action takes place in FPS on ever changing planet surfaces (the maps are said to be randomly generated at the beginning of each FPS mission). For those who don't like a lot of FPS can center themselfs on Starship battles (maintaining the systems, regular duties, and following the captains orders) but they probably won't get much in promotions.
What makes me wonder is how will they keep bringing in new material through updates without constricting the ST Universe in the beginning too much or turning it into something completely different over time. I know they will add in other factions, such as Romulans and maybe even Civilian for each race. I will follow this game because it has the ability for groups to really be together and control themselfs that PS lacked. The ability to command a Starship for the Clan and have the entire crew be Clan members is the type of cooperation I looked for in PS. |

I found a site that has links to interviews and information on STO. Take a gander if you want: http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~starmada/sites/online/
