Holodeck/cabin

[Lateo]

Any idea's if players will have their own (Persistent) cabins with light customisation options? (furniture moving, some shelves to stick memorabilia on)?

and a pretty "wild" idea, holodeck programs! not just standard ones included (Combat/Tactical training, Socialisation (seladrines/Risa for example)) but also -maybe-, an offline "editor" program (like NWNs toolset or other games terrian builder) that you can design your own (albiet "limited" holodeck program) to trade with other IG somehow.

I think that it would be very difficult for the developers to design the holodeck so that players could create absolutely any kinds of scenarios that they wanted; I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see such a feature, but I just think that it would be a logistical nightmare.

although, for the future, i can see cryptic using the holodeck to solve certain things that they can't do in the game. like how this forum fantasizes on being the 'Q' as a random example?

let people be 'Q', but in holodeck stories.

let people make holonovels. it doesn't have to be like a movie making experience, but just with using your char makers, making npc characters and write a script. or maybe do the thing from nextgen, and allow players to experience different time periods with set pieces of story. like how scotty got to sit on the ole trek bridge when he was fresh off the dyson's sphere. or how in nextgen the peeps + pikerd got to do plays or drama stuff, maybe players could put on a production.

though some might say, why waste the time, but i think this is something to implement maybe with expansion packs. i know i would have fun making a holonovel. i think it would be very innovative...

Very very difficult, how difficult truely comes down to how game content is handled in STO, as a "for release" i wouldnt expect this for a second, as a neat expansion pack with some other stuff in, -definately- worth it.
