Jam1919's Thread...

[Jam1919]

I thought create one thread with all my questions in it...

1. I'm right there no Internal Bridge. I know there not internal decks but what about the Bridge?

2. Do you think that we have to train all our Crew or just Bridge Crew?

3. How is exactly does the Captaincy works.. Does someone die and you need to take command and assign someone to take your position.?

4. Do you think that: We be able to?
a. Land Voyager?
b. Saucer Seperation liike Star Trek TNG?
c. Cloak Defiant?
d. Buy Cloak ability for certain federation ships?

3. Just off the Cuff Question? Do you think that Captain Christopher Pike will still be alive on Talos IV.?

Just a thought or 2: For The Future.

1. I think there needs to be interiors added.. Due to the fact that some the Star Trek involves inship adventures.

2. Shuttle Crafts should be use able. With option of landing or orbiting with Transporter capacity,

3. Either in an Expansion or future Star Trek Online game. You should be to have away team on the ground and still switch to Bridge of whoever is assuming command of your vessel. Ie say you need to send your ship away. Then you be to do that and the switch to Away team untill you get back.

Nope. No internal player ship bridge unless it's a special mission.
2. Do you think that we have to train all our Crew or just Bridge Crew?
Just bridge crew. Everyone else is just a number.
3. How is exactly does the Captaincy works.. Does someone die and you need to take command and assign someone to take your position.?
Your in command. Your given a ship by starfleet as (most likely) a lt.
4. Do you think that: We be able to?
a. Land Voyager?
b. Saucer Seperation liike Star Trek TNG?
c. Cloak Defiant?
d. Buy Cloak ability for certain federation ships?
a. No.
b. Yes.
c. Yes
d. Maybe
3. Just off the Cuff Question? Do you think that Captain Christopher Pike will still be alive on Talos IV.?
No.

It's on the big list of things the developers want to do badly. It's probably #3 with the first two being things that one can't avoid like bug fixes and balancing issues.
2. Shuttle Crafts should be use able. With option of landing or orbiting with Transporter capacity,
We'll be able to use a shuttle, just not manually fly one.
3. Either in an Expansion or future Star Trek Online game. You should be to have away team on the ground and still switch to Bridge of whoever is assuming command of your vessel. Ie say you need to send your ship away. Then you be to do that and the switch to Away team untill you get back.

And that's all I have to say about that. Hope I helped answer your questions. :)

Where'd you get that there would be Saucer Separation? I thought the Devs said no MVAM, I know it was said in regards to the Prometheus but its pretty much the same thing.

And that's all I have to say about that. Hope I helped answer your questions. :)

well done, I think you did a great job of answering those

[Deyvid]

I'll take a stab at answering a few of these...

1. I'm right there no Internal Bridge. I know there not internal decks but what about the Bridge?
They said that at launch, the gameplay in space will be "3rd person view" outside your ship. Bridge view may come later.

2. Do you think that we have to train all our Crew or just Bridge Crew?
So far they have only mentioned training Bridge Crew.

3. How is exactly does the Captaincy works.. Does someone die and you need to take command and assign someone to take your position.? The highest ranking officer on board a ship is in command of that ship, and therefore referred to as "captain" by the crew. Being the "captain" of a ship does not always mean you carry the rank of Captain. We will probably start out as a lower rank, with a smaller ship, and gain rank as we complete missions.

1. I think there needs to be interiors added.. Due to the fact that some the Star Trek involves inship adventures. Starship interiors will be in the game at launch, in the form of instanced interiors during certain missions. What will not be available when the game launches is the ability to freely roam around the inside of your ship whenever you want, or customize the interior spaces. That will probably come later.

2. Shuttle Crafts should be use able. With option of landing or orbiting with Transporter capacity, In one interview, they said that there may be occasions when the player will have to use a shuttle to go down to a planet, but they said you will not be able to pilot the shuttle into and through the atmosphere. It will probably be automated, or as part of a "cut-scene"?

EDIT:
Dang. LordDave beat me to it. Oh well.

I hope you can atleast assign an NPC to land it or added it Shuttle Craft functionality in the future..
