Personaly, I love hearing any information about STO. Thanks for getting what you could for us guys, really hope to hear more soon of cousre.

I think this game is going to attract players who want to be part of a crew and experience the true Star Trek feel in a game. Concerning the topic of instances wouldn’t that promote a sense of a “unique experience” on a mission with crew mates?  I can't see how this game is going to cater to a solo mentality and I am quite happy with that concept. But is it going to feel like a guild wars game in the sense of how instances work? I am still waiting to see how STO debuts & hope it does well. We all need a good sci-fi!

Great to see something on this project.  Give us more give us more!

Have you heard of this thing called the internet? It has a thing called google. A giant leap forward for the intelect of the human race once you know how to use it.

Have you heard of this thing called common sense? What you typed took longer than just answering the question. Not sure if that makes you a jerk or a moron.

Anyway... I'm really looking forward to this game. Not just because I've been a Star Trek fan since my mother first let me stay up to watch the original series reruns back in the mid 1970's... but because, frankly, I'm fantasy-ed out. I'd like to play a new MMORPG that isn't fantasy-based. I'm just glad to have read even one little tidbit about how the game's coming, even if the article didn't tell us a whole lot of new information.

It's people like you Endemondia, that show the arrogant, juvenile side of game forums. You need to take that giant leap forward yourself. If you can't answer the question for the person, just don't post. As opposed to a sarcastic worthless answer that only shows your own stupidity.

On a better note, I think any news on this game is good news at this point. If they want to share some information, great. I look forward to more.

We all know the graphics are going to be pretty, but what would be much more helpful and interesting is to know what they are actually planning for the mechanics of the game. Is it going to be level or skill based, is it going to be quest or "sandbox" based, how will combat and ship control work. How will they do "crafting" in a universe where everything can be made for you in the little machine?
These would have been much better questions to ask than "how is the ship going to look".

Last I read (in an article of MMORPG.COM no less) the game was going to be class/level based (a little fuzzy on that detail), with missions instanced for your crew - the only time you will be likely to run into another player not on your crew will be at starbases - no PvP combat or even playable races hostile to the Federation, and when you get injured, you are always instantly saved 100% healthy via Star Trek teleporter + hypospray magic.

I can see where some of the design decisions came from in order to keep with the theme of Star Trek, but I'm not sure if I'll be wanting to play it. But despite all my negativity, I will say that they seem to have a rather interesting approach to Ship control/flight. Haven't seen any solid details yet, but it look like it will be a crew effort, with each person managing a system in a sort of mini-game.

I'm hungry for a new sci-fi MMORPG so this reads good to me.  Just hope it's not an Elf and Orc is space kind of thing.

A Post Apoc Mad Max type with skill points rather then levels would make me pretty happy too.

I've been following the STO development since I first heard about it.  I run a small gaming community that was started in the Star Trek genre.  We've been looking for a new ST game to expand into and Legacy failed at any attempt to satisfy us.  PE seems to have their heads in the game and with people like Michael Okuda onboard, I'm confident that the game will meet most expectations.  I'd rather have them take thier time and do it right than release it when it won't do the job or fill the shoes we expect it to fill.

The closer it gets to GnH's release the more info about STO we'll get.  They may even wait to tackle our 'demands' until afterwards.  Wouldn't you as a company?  I'm going to sit back and relax... and wait for it.  They'll give us what we want.  If they don't.... Trekkies from all over the world will hunt them down. hehe....
