It would be really sweet if there are some Q missions in STO! You know the kind: Q pops in, toys with you, makes you pull your hair out, then ultimately makes you realize an important lesson about yourself. :p

Q may have a role in some of Star trek missions. Cryptic did say there mission are going to play out like episode. That being said I would like to have a Q in a mission or two would be fun for me at least. :p

Q/ Q2, Qs should be for when Game Masters have to make an appearance to fix in game bugs etc.

Q could always save you when your ship is about to be "destroyed", it'd be a funny way to not really die without any consequences...except for relying on Q. :D

this is actually an ingenious idea, just like the spirit healer in WoW. the Q who would be introduced to you in starfleet academy would become your "guardian angel" after saying you are destined for something or some mission or other. its not very realistic however it does sorta kinda fit into what a Q could do not to mention a way out of having you magically re-appear after getting blown to pieces.

Dont tell anybody, but I have been contracted by Cryptic to play the role of Q in STO. Like I said, keep it quiet though :o

This topic has come up before, but I definitely hope that the in-game support staff are members of the Q Continuum and I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Q involved in a few missions as well.

That would be a really cool idea. I look forward to seeing how they put the Q into the game.

Yes, lets waste the most interesting character and place them on the support staff to fix in-game issues. Great freaking idea!!!!!
No, this is the worst re-hashed idea I have replied to over and ove rand over.
Please stop the character assasination.
Cryptic, please do not do this....
Gooooo

i'd dare say that the "Q continuum" (being all powerful and all that) may be used a admin so if you do something IE:hack cheat... the "Q" would be the punishing you mean you ship and all your stats would dissaper in the blink of an eye. it also remains true to the star trek theme
(remeber the Q is not just one person)

i personally think they could be used for certain instance missions single or fleet.
After doing a pre request mission, it triggers him to appear, and then wiske you off to the instance.

I think in game help staff should be Q... and appear before you when you have a problem
that.. that is just awesomeness

Please... no Q missions and no time travel.
Yes, I'm aware that they've announced time travel will be a part of the game. I'm hoping they change their minds.

I'm not so big on time travel either but come on, Q is awesome!

I like the idea of Q being in the game. He was in 3 of the series so why not.
But I do feel that he needs to be totally random. Something that causes people to tear their hair out to find him or that he's even there.

I definitely think that Q and all special quest stars need to be in the game. I'm thinking that in some cases they just make an appearance without affecting the player while at other times they have tasks for you to do.

yeah .. I agree. Couple this with a mission that could litterally throw you across the cosmos for a misson .. then returned unscathed .. or maybe with just battle damage to be repaired (or perhaps a really steep repair bill as the case might be) . Do this randomly with either one player , a smaller team or even a larger one (in instance or not) ... The possiblities are unlimited here. That would be nice !

If Q's in the game, then they should let us be like Sisko and punch him the face at least once before he makes us go bald. (This going along with everyone saying that he's going to drive us crazy and make us pull our hair out.) Honestly, I bet everyone that had dealt with Q in Trek had to be locked up in a crazy box at Starfleet for a few days until they regained their senses.:rolleyes::D

Yeah and have Guinnan give you missons from the bar on the Enterprise-F ;) That would be pretty cool.
