Newcomer to the forum, asking some questions

[joriandrake]

Hello fellow trekkies!

I would like to know where i can find the minimum requirements for the game, if it is possible to name ship/character of yours, to costumize the name/race/gender/abilities of the NPC-s under your order, to get a costum made ship into the game (ala "Pirates of the Burning Sea" where player content is playing a major importance), if one could even costumize the looks of the uniforms, to play as unaligned, even as a pirate or smuggler, and how much player choices and wishes affect the outcome and change of the game (if I wish to play as a calculating villainous politician to gain controll of troops/ships and declare a planet to be independent would I have any chance to atleast try to succeed), and if the payment could be similar to that of Guild Wars, can I combine two or more races/factions technologies in one new ship class (federation/klingon and romulan/borg jumps into my mind)?


Sorry for these bunch of questions :D



I had more than enough of the mediocre thousands of copycat MMO-s, none of those managed really to get my interest for a longer time, I bought WOW but quited it after 3 weeks already because I saw that your actions don't really matter there neither, but I read good things about STO, and the ability to create a costum race got me enthusiastic, I already plan how to create and make a race prosper and spread out in the galaxy to make it truly part of ST lore, atlast I see something where it is helpful if you love details and unique, but roleplayingly meaningful and concept-fitting ideas. :cool:


Sorry for being too positive, i know it is usually unhealthy but I just can't stop myself :D

Some is still unanswerable, such as system rquirements.

You will, at launch, be either Starfleet or Klingon Empire alligned. What allegences there are (if any) within those factions remains to be seen, but you cannot be independant of them.

This is Cryptic, so customization of your captain, bridge crew, uniform and ship will all be reasonably deep.

They have spoken about wanting player content, but have so far not brought any in. I think they'd prefer to get the game running forst.

The Ask Cryptic, FAQ and Timeline (all on the main page) should help.

Another question: how often do developers check the forums to read the community ideas, weekly?

Do they comment often?

It depends but you can keep up to date with the dev tracker page here: http://forums.startrekonline.com/search.php?searchid=731576&pp=&page=

They are here all the time during the week, they're on California time though so they tend to be here from about 5 or 6pm GMT. You rarely see them at weekends though. There is a Dev tracker that shows all their posts, you'll see they were about quite abit last week.

Cool, a dev trecker, does it also show where they live? Is it connected to a satelite or what? :D

Nevermind.. :rolleyes:


It is good to hear that the devs are in contact so heavily with the community :)
