I have a couple quick questions (I havnt been on in a couple weeks). First, has there been any information on Denobulans, like will players be able to be them out of the pre-made or will they have to make them, or can they be made? Second, any information been passed on about Q or the Q continuum in general?

Make them with the race creator.

And as far as the Q expect them to be the GMs, if you are expecting to be able to play a Q, I think there is a fat chance of that happening.

I expect the Q to be the GM's. I think it makes sense. Omnipresent beings who can control the (game) universe.

I would be very surprised if Denobulans didn't have their own pre-made template. While Enterprise wasn't the most popular Star Trek series, it was a series, and one of its main characters was a Denobulan. That's why I believe it will be one of the pre-made templates. That being said, there's no official word about Denobulans, nor have we seen any screenshots of them (that I know of). That really doesn't mean anything though, since we haven't seen a screenshot of a Gorn yet, and they're definitely confirmed.

In regards to Q, no official information has been given. The idea of the GMs being Qs is a greatly popular one. Personally, I'd rather see them in missions to add that extra bit of craziness to a mission that started out ordinary. However, the two options aren't mutually exclusive.

To answer the questions, no, there is no new information on either Denobulans or the Q. And for the love of John de Lancie can people stop suggesting making GMs into Qs. Q is Q and Q is an adversary out for his own amusement not a benevolent being. What next, having the Borg repair our vessels when they blow up?

I don't think GMs should be Q. In most mmo's you only see a GM (and this is becoming very rare) if you have a major issue. Q is an active part of Star Trek, he should appear in episodes in STO just as frequently as he did/does in tele series. Besides, GMs will have limitations, Q does not.

I agree with the Qs not beign GMs, its just not right. However, I also believe that we should not see the Q very often in game, because, honestly, they did not appear too much in the Star Trek universe. Now, i'm not saying they weren't a big part, because they were, but really they didn't APPEAR that often.

yeah lol meating Q as mission objective or during mission. This will be one of a must do missions for everybody. As if Q shows up to a mission :rolleyes: That should not happen. It'd be more funny to see GM's as Q. Like a pre poster said manipulating (game) universe.

btw: when i was playing wow EVERY GM request from me got answered! wether i was online or not!

I would be in favor of the Gm's being Q I just think it would be cool. I don't want to start up that discussion again but I do think it would have it's place in the game. If Gm's want to physically come to you instead of just sending you a private message how else would they show up? A guy in a timeship shuttle?

Although Age of Conan was mostly fail, I think one of the cool things was when the GM's would show up. They were like 10 foot tall spartains, I even though one was going to kill me once. He was talking to another player then disappeared, I made some rude comment about cutting the gm's head off and urinating on him, he then reappeared walked toward me said "WHAT!" then I turned and ran like hell.!!!
