View Full Version : About the new info
A lot of people was fighting with me today about every one being on a player crewed ships an with this new info I would like yo just say TOLD YOU SO!!!!
But now to what this post is about Yes every one is a captain of there own ship that has a crew but they did not say as of yet that it would only be an NPC crew you may be allowed to trade the NPCs for really players we don't know yet.( But I do see it going this way)
They have confirmed that there will be ship interiors most of us like this some may not I dont know every one to say we all do.
I look forward to see what they tell us on Sunday about the game an the game play we will see now that we do know it is game play.
I will not say the game is good or not yet with out seeing the playing game an how it plays. To do so right now would not be the right thing to do just becuse with out know more on the story an how the game plays What I say now more or lees will chage as I get more info. (I do have high hopes on the game)

You know (and I haven't been around that long here, but I did follow the PE development for a while) I haven't seen anyone who *doesn't* want to be able to walk the corridors of their respective ships.
I think PE just made that up because it never occurred to them, until it was too late.

I don't think anyone was ever against the idea of interiors, I think people were against the idea of USELESS interiors. In other words, having interiors of ships for no damn reason other than eye candy.
It sounds to me like the interiors will be a pivotal part of gameplay, which sounds exciting as hell to me. I can't wait for this game!

Exactly. I can easily picture scenarios for boarding actions that would be fought in the ship's interior.

Umm....if you trade a NPC crewmen for a real player, and "everyone" is captain.... who gets to be the captain?
I can see teaming up temporarily, but not trading out a crewmen for a player. At least not permenantly.

NO NO When I was saying that it would just be for the time that player is on the ship an the Captain would be the owner of the ship.

But Starfleet owns the ship. They just assign a captain to it. :)

Remember it is a game thing will not go with the story 100% an not all ships will be the same you will have to get your upgrads an all that on your own so not every ship will be the same.

However, that's pure speculation. While I would say that your chief engineer (if he's skilled) should be able to tweak systems aboard your ship, I am against the JTL route with Imperial TIE fighters having (literally) hundreds of engines to choose from.
In other words (in the case of Starfleet) your ship is an "X" class ship. They are all built the same, with corresponding upgrades sponsored by Starfleet itself. As a captain, you don't have (nor should you) the authority to purchase (again, with what, Starfleet doesn't use money) a new engine for your ship. (Or phasers, shields, torpedoes.)
If we can work this issue into the game mechanics, I'll be a happy puppy. If not, it will throw many players out of the game, simply because you wouldn't be behaving in the way that an officer of Starfleet would.
