minor characters ..

In Champions Oniine, you have the ability to create a custom
nemesis that follows you throughout your superhero career. Could
a similar approach enhance our Star Trek Online experience?

I'm thinking about minor or secondary characters who aren't part
of your regular crew but are an important part of your life
nonetheless. I'm thinking about Captain Sisko's father (famous
chef), Counselor Troi's mother, Keiko O'Brien, Ambassador
Sarek, Guinan and others. I'm sure you can think of more.

Each of these characters, while not central to the main arc of the
story, added depth and complexity to the main characters.

What if, during the course of a mission, you met a love interest
who would crop up in later missions in unexpected ways? Or
a relative of one of your NPC crew comes to visit, unwittingly
exposing the crew to a strange illness?

Hmmm, that's pretty interesting. I think there was another thread about making our own Kahn. And I know SWTOR is making their own companion character.

It might be alright for STO to have some sort of other character. Really though, we already have our whole NPC crew that we have to deal with, so some may fell like this is just another annoying detail about their character. You also have to remember that any time spent making a system for this, is less time the devs can spend on something else.

I'd rather them worry about crafting, economics, FvF, etc.

But, if it doesn't take much time, it's a pretty cool option for sure :)
