I think STO is going to need/will be something a lot more complexed than turret controls for a PC bridge crew to use and be fun.
It could be fun but i'd much rather have dev time spent on content, gameplay and NPC crews intead of a feature like PC crews which i think (going on this thread alone) won't appeal to many.
What?
Lol....have you ever PVP'd in one?
Only a noob captain and an untrained crew fall into that category. When idiots don't try to fly them like interceptors and actually know some basic tactics and take the time to learn the ship then they are "slightly" deadly.<------That was sarcasm. Also, the ops does a little more than that.....shield adjustments and reinforcements make a huge difference in POB tactics (and fighers, too) and all command overloads are made from that chair (and a few from the turrets), it isn't just "used to shunt weapon energy to shields". If other crew with repair kits are on board then alot of damage can be fixed on the fly. And teamspeak is a must for fast communication.
Go to the SWG forums and tell this guy (all the same person) that POB's are very rarely used in space PVP, aren't fun to pvp in and POB crews aren't feared:
Ieheeloonea's Yt-1300 The Manollium Flame
Kalien's Decimator I.S.S. Eviscerator
Corvalis's Nova Shadow Avenger
His handle is BaconHeadIthorian.
