Player/Ship/Environment interaction

[daigoona]

hey all,

cant seem to find any info on this so i thought i would ask here,

is there any thoughts on implementing a feature where the ship captains (players) will be able to change mode and walk around inside the ship while the ship is on auto nav. or something similar? that way the players can walk around and interact with the npc's on-board (which may change depending on who beams aboard), as well as other things such as playing games for money or other items with the npc's, and just plain having a full interaction with the surrounding ship environment (kind of like in the Sims). im guessing they are doing that with the space stations but it would be nice if it was available on each ship as well.

just a thought but in my opinion it would be cool :D

It's something I'd like to see. A lot of the appeal of playing a Star Trek MMO for me is to be able to see the sights in the Universe. That includes being able to fully explore the interior of a Starfleet Ship. I'm hoping for tons of detail in that regard, but I'm realistic enough to know that it may be too complex for them to do.

I think more than likely there will be key areas of the ship that we can explore such as engineering, captain's quarters, ten forward, sickbay, etc, but I think it's unlikely we'll be able to walk the ship from bow to stern and see every inch of it along the way.

I think that was one of perprtuals ideas, to give a full experiance, or something like that. Think were just going to have to wait for the Dev's to say something?

This is a feature that I also strongly support. The ship is obviously one of the most important aspects of the Star Trek franchise, and the chance to explore one's own and others' ships is one that most, if not all, fans are drooling in anticipation of. I hate to end with a preposition but there it is.

I definitely support this feature and I really hope that something like this is in the game.

I see Cryptic visiting this in later expansions.

Also probably unrealistic, but I'd love to see Jeffrey Tubes.

Of course, this is an MMO, and MMO's do tend to have insanely large areas. It might not be [i]too[i] unrealistic to expect a fairly full ship experience, including many (if not most) of the levels and areas. And if that isn't all released at the beginning of the game, they may add on to it over time.

With an MMO, you never know. Considering Cryptic's dedication to this project, though... I likely won't be disappointed with what they do give me, even if I don't get the full ship experience, but I wouldn't be surprised if we did get, too...
