grinding

Its been said you can gain xp without doing episodic content right?

however, i can imagine people will grind it.

i wonder how many missions are being scripted for the game at launch.

is it going to be like city of heroes where you practically had different locations and objectives (even tho each objective was mostly to kill out the bad guys :)

but it was at least always different area, if you chose to do the missions when you moved onto new contacts, you never had to grind the same missions over and over, that came with architech entertainment :)

if theres like only 20 missions in the initial game or even 100.

i forsee escorting that vulcan ambasador at least 100 times :)

the point is, it is going to be so un star trek, if you can just keep redoing the same mission.

I hate grinding so I will avoid that as much as I can, its just way too boring. I am hoping there will be alot of quests revolving around the genesis system so you can go quest while exploring and naming newly found planets. It wont always be a vulcan ambassador too, you can expect all kinds of ambassadors from around the galaxy to escort around lol.

yeah you might end up escorting an tribble ambasador "in your pocket" to some conference with klingons hot on your tail to kill/kidnap said ambasador :D

The most recent interview suggests they are aware of player tendencies to grind and then lose interest, so they are working on multiple fun things to do at all times. Check it out! http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=28139
