Q should be made as GM's. Possibly even mess around with players and their ships to their amusement, to a certain degree :D And hi, everyone!

Yes Q should be in the game. GMs could fill this role but I would rather have an npc Q so i dont get a GM on a bad day and find my self stranded 4 galaxies away in hostile territorty. Though I would be the first Klingon captain to explore that region of space.
Having Q moments in the game would be super fun!
KAPLA! FOR THE EMPIRE!
oh and welcome to the forums!

I expect Q's to be GMs, wouldn't mind them as NPCs but I doubt it.

It would be interesting, however I would expect that to not occur at launch. The game would need to be very developed in a sense for a person to alter it at their discretion.

I had Purposed a Wolf 359 type event but your Idea of Q intrigues me..
The Encounter at Far Point comes to mind straight away.. To have an Referee "Q" spot our ship in a Kobayashi Maru type encounter would be a nice change of pace.. Serious or Tongue in cheek..
The variety of possibilities out side a Holosuite creation could be executed with panache...

I agree SirReginaldo,
Launch might not be feasable and I want the launch to go as smoothly as possible. But in the future somthing like this should be added.
Plus we could explore the continuam with Q for a quest or something :D

There have to be GM's in an MMO with certain powers, so I suspect that they have been made to "Q."
Thus, think of the possibilities for seasonal events.
"Q is at it again! Due to his irresponsibility or personal test, you must save this world from danger! Who knows, the inhabitants may even reward you..."

True seasonal events could be fun. I think something like WoW does throughout the year would be fun for the game. Just something to bring the community together and have some random silly fun. I mean Klingons gotta celebrate Valentiens day. Give a real heart to your fellow warriors.

THE "Q"(from TNG/VOY) should be an NPC. The reason is because GMs are NOT trained actors and despite their best intentions, have no business playing as main characters. However, it would be fine for GMs to be "Q"(the race) in their duties of helping/fixing problems in the game.

Well said Grand Nagus! Do we owe you anything for your advice? Maybe some gold pressed latnium?

Did you have to mention it? A Ferengi won't pass on an offer of Latinum.

Do you even have to ask? My fee is 5 bars per post. However, since you have no way to pay me right now, I will expect it promptly post launch, with interest!

LOL
While I can see it being very very awesome to have Q in the game to give everyone some pain during quests and so on, I can also see where that would be more problematic than beneficial to the game.
But for sure, they should have Q in at least one of the PVE qeusts players can do. It would be comedy and gameplay wrapped up together. It would be great.

Of course. Fully agreed. I'd still love to see John de Lancie reprise his role in-game some time for giggles though.

Hmm interest riiiiiiight. Just fly over to Klingon space and fire your phasers at the nearest warship that will be me. Thats will be the signal that its you and not an imposter. :D

having Q moments is a must for the game and i wouldnt mind getting stranded when we make characters we should be able to sign up for random events like getting knocked to the delta quadrant

Haha yeah, or walking out of a turbolift and suddenly finding yourself on the beaches of Risa, with your ship at war with the Cardassians, all 'cause Q thought you "needed a break" :D
I also agree with GMs being Q, though, it just fits!

Q should be a GM, it would introduce a true value of randomness to the game that could push the boundaries of gaming as we know it. There could be lots of different character of the games that instead of being NPC could be paid "player/staff", that would make this game truly unique.
