Craig: In the game, we're using transwarp conduits as a method to get from things like a newbie zone to a really high level zone. They're for the higher level players so they don't have to actually do that travel time. So the transwarp conduits are made to be like teleportation in the game.
I've been looking for the answer to a question I had. New to me.

Christine is Kestrel, the lead content writer; and she only just posted a link to this article on twitter today, so I assumed it was new.
I know I'd never read it before.

Hmmm... I think the question you have to ask yourself here is, 'do I enjoy making Zinc paranoid?' :D

Ten Ton Hammer: Can you tell us a little bit about the transwarp conduits?
Christine: It's Borg technology that's been adapted by Starfleet. It was brought back by Voyager and Starfleet has adapted it and are using it to connect to different parts of the galaxy.
Craig: In the game, we're using transwarp conduits as a method to get from things like a newbie zone to a really high level zone. They're for the higher level players so they don't have to actually do that travel time. So the transwarp conduits are made to be like teleportation in the game.
So I wonder if Warp Conduits and Worm holes will be Rank/Skill restricted --- so that newbies cannot use it to get to high level zones, but higher level players can use it cross the distances like Zinc stated.

If they are, it'd prolly be for the better. Don't want newbies 'teleporting' into areas they haven't developed the skills to cope with.

One point for me ... I posted just a couple of weeks ago that I expected to see Mirial (Paris' and Torres') daughter in the game. :)
There are multiple plotlines that run throughout the game. There are things that happen fairly early on that have consequences during the game. There's something that happens in the tutorial that has consequences in the end game, so we're trying to make coherent stories. We're also trying to add more of the lore in dialogue where you can actually sit down and talk with various characters and they're going to give you even more of the back-story than you would have gotten during a mission for example.
This always makes me nervous when games do this ... here you are, new to a game, no clue what you're even doing ... and they have you making decisions that will effect your end-game?
I'm not saying NOOOOOO! I'm just saying it makes me nervous.
