Originally posted by Dilweed Because you then need to make 2 games I rest my case about living in a fantasy world, I always hoped the star trek community would be more mature If being more "Mature" means having to settle for another shity MMORPG, then I don't want any part of it. I am however willing to consider a compromise...if Cryptic were to offer one that is. The bottom line is, I won't play this game unless it has features I want. I will also go a step further and encourage my all my friends to pass on STO...in fact I will blog on Forum after Forum about how bad this game really is...unless! They get their ass in gear and listen to the hardcore fans of the star trek franchise! Do Not underestimate the power of a determined blogger. A Viral Internet campaign against a Game can be very effective. It's all about word of mouth in this industry. By the way, it appears Cryptic is listening at the moment....THAT'S A GOOD THING. |

As I already metioned in this topic, I'm a star trek fan and I hope the game becomes a huge succes. I'm just saying that some of your expectations are unrealistic and that you will be dissapointed if you keep these expectations. It has nothing to do with how much I'm interested in those features, I like to see developers try new things, I wish they did it more often. |

A Star Trek MMORPG cant be anything but sandbox or otherwise it wont be Star Trek. The reason is that an integral part of Star Trek is the fact that the Enterprise could go basically anywhere and not follow a strict, line. It wasnt a patrol ship, it was an explorer ship. And the suggestion that sand box style MMORPG players is a niche area is just plain wrong. Just because WoW came and raped the MMORPG scene doesnt mean that the original idea of MMORPGs, which was sandbox worlds, is a niche area. WoW is a freak MMORPG which unfourtanetely has made people think that is what MMORPGs are all about. Which couldnt be farther from the truth. |

I agree with the OP and others here who want seamless interaction between ship interior, exterior, and space as a whole. Many episodes of Star Trek include marvelous battles in space between Star Fleet and her foes. But more importantly, there were as many episodes of Star Trek that took place completely within the confines of the ship, or completely on the surface of a planet, and sometimes even completely within a dream. Some episodes took place in another time all together! Please do not say we will never meet Kirk or Piccard! Time travel and the effects of it were one of the many things that kept Star Trek intriguing! |

Ok folks time for a reality check, ship interiors great idea but if they do go that route then it will be at a cost of graphics. That is why I think they are going for a 3rd person with an internal flare maybe a bridge view and that’s it. Keep in mind they are trying to give you space, deep space and unexplored space and the Ability to land or beam down and fight and explore on the ground. With the dynamic engine they are proposing for travel that is a pretty good under taking. PLAYING:AION, MO,LOTRO(Life Account) |

Well a heads up to everyone. Cryptic has confirmed that there will be PSI's even though they will be with NPC crews. So they made a compromise. It also seams that they want to add a PLayer crew option later when the work out the kinks. It isn't all that we wanted but it's enough, so to all of you sceptics out there....

Yeah, looks like no PC crews. Every player will be a captain with a NPC crew. That kind of sucks but is at least understandable, as No big MMORPG has game -enforced leaders... they are always social. I could see clans "Fleets" with a self-styled Admiral in charge. Also with the wandering nature of most players they would come and go from ships all the time and unless you staticed you might be constantly LFGing to fill a crew, which is why I quit FFXI. Still I hope the combat is great, the grinding kept to a minimum, and that this game can carry me over to War 40k online. |

If you say plz because it''s shorter than please, then I''ll say no because it''s shorter than yes. |
A player based crew would never work. It might seem great how we all work together to run a ship, but would it really be fun? Im pretty sure everyone would want to be able to command their own starship, and explore strange new worlds, not run around inside a ship playing minigames so that the captain gets all the glory. When you really think about it, how the hell are the professions supposed to work. the only profession that would be any fun would be the captain. Everyone else would be sitting around waiting for some problem to arise so that they can actually do something. I dont want a flashy Puzzle Pirates here, i want GAME. A game where I get to command a starship without the pain in the ass process of working up the ranks, and then assembling a crew.

-------------------------------------------- 1) REAL Player owned / Guild owned Ships. 2) Ships we can walk around and interact from within. 3) Ships with a BRIDGE, SICKBAY, CREW QUATERS, MAIN ENGINEERING, MESS HALL / SOCIAL AREA. 10) Guild run Space Stations with commerce, defense, and social content --------------------------------------------- If the devs implement these 4 features, this game is going to be a big succes. If they dont, it will fail. |

The game is 3 years off at best. I'm sure many more developments will happen. Will this be another SWG (pre-nge) or Tabuala Rasa? I'm hoping for SWG done better. But that is me. They (Cryptic) seems to be listening, because right now they have to listen. How long until they reach the "We know best" stage is anyone's guess. I hope STO can be the sandbox game we are all dreaming of, but reality never measures up to fantasy. I will say Cryptic has already given us an infinate more material, video, screens shots and detailed descriptions than perpetual ever gave anyone. The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity. - Harlan Ellison |

I don't believe you can scare Cryptic into changing their plans with comments like these. If you want to make a difference or inspire them to make changes, post something digestable. Saying these 4 things will make this game a success or a failure is, I'm sorry for saying, the stupidist comment one can post. |

Originally posted by Warblaze I don't agree with this absolute statement, but it would be if the game had this 4 things. |

The first quest in STO would be like: (the one I got in Tabula Rasa). Good morning Dr X speaking. "On this new planet we have a plague. We need an anitdode: Kill some boars and assemble 8 livers to extract the highly rare substance from it." ---- After which the player needs to kill boars roaming the planet with a liver drop rate of 3.28 %. ---- After this quest in TAbula Rasa, pigs in space got a whole new dimension to me. the immersion factor is GREAT in SF MMORPG's !!!!

My words are not here to sway you,they are here to make you understand. |
Player can enter other people's ships and walk around and chat in the sick bay and stuff but they cant control the ship apparently because all those posts will be filled by NPCs you have recruited on your ship. Now you can have Guild owned star bases but not ships SHIPS ARE FOR CAPTAINS guilds will just monotonize the bloody things.
Look for the rest of this post in my next post. This is not a game. |

I see a lot of a features, a lot lore, but i still don`t believe. The Star Ship interiors are magor, and not so difficult to make I think (there was not so much detail in the movies) |
