Let's face it the existing implementation of starship interiors is pretty underwhelming. Currently, players in Star Trek Online can basically wander around a small bridge area that essentially just serves as a social space you can invite your friends into, but Cryptic Studios isn't interested in maintaining the status quo in this regard.

In a comment to IncGamers, Star Trek Online Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich revealed Cryptic's desire to expand on the current implementation of interiors when asked whether players could look forward to further exploration of their ships, including popular Star Trek pastimes such as hanging out in the Holodeck:

“Anything we can do to make the game feel even more like Star Trek is something we want to do. So, definitely, we want to give people more of their ship.” he replied. “This is one of those things we want to get perfect before introducing it to players, though” he added, “it’s going to be an undertaking”.

No dates, timeframes, or really any specifics were provided, but it's good to know that Cryptic Studios is interested in getting more out of the starship interior feature.
