One inherited flaw that I have found in current Star Trek Games is that the ships are not in scale with each other, for example, in Bridge Commander, the Defiant was as large as the Galaxy Class' saucer section which is not cannon.  What will the new developers plans be with scaling of the ships?

One of the corner stones of Star Trek is interactivity with the environment and is something that almost all star trek games lack.  How much interaction will we have with our ships, and if we have interiors, which we should, I would like the opportunity to walk down to an EPS relay and overload the damn thing, knocking something out somewhere in the ship, not that I'd want to but its the point that I can.  So in short, what is the level of interaction we will have with our environment.

How much can you do on a ship as a member of its crew?

How trek is it going to be?

Will there be fully mapped out player ship interiors with an acurate representation of the locker rooms and toilets? And what special skills or levels will be needed to flush them?

Seriously, my question would be:

Lets talk about the geek-factor. A reoccurring and heated topic in the comunity during the past years where ships interiors and the complexity of crew interactions. Accessibility is a must for the success of any piece of software, without doubt. But how complex do you think can your MMO possibly become?

And a second one, that I personally care a lot about:

A trend in the MMO genre seems to be the idea of pushing classical RPG elements into the background in favour of easy to handle combat oriented content. The old fashioned RPG fans in the world wide web have expressed their concerns about that trend again and again. Just think along the uproar about Sonys New Gaming Experience or the ongoing crussade of some RPG fans against WoW and all its so called clones. So, do you intent to satisfy the faction of MMO gamers that cry for games that have a heavier focus on roleplaying?

What will engineering be like  :redshirt:

- upgrading ships/systems?
- repairing damage?
- fixing sonics howers/replicators?
- will there be jeffries tubes ???

What races will there be ?

Will there be an ensign unknown (npc) ?

Where can I sign up for the beta tests :P ?

And a few more critic suggestions.. Please do not look at Age of Conan for inspiration ( it sucks.. ) and 2ndly No cartoony graphics please!!!

      Personally I never liked the idea of the game being set 20 years in the future. Being that it will start from earth with limited Races. Why not start it back at the Bigginning with us Rediscovering technology. Less to develop at the start. Just because its Star trek doesn't mean it has to follow the Series. I would love to see it start right after the Enterprise Series. it would get players room to explore, meet new races, developer new tech. instead of it already being done.

     My questions.
     
     1. Will we be able to customize Ships. Outside look. and feel, Name, Inside Bridge. Engineering, Medical office.
   
     2. will players be able to own, or be commissioned to a certain ship or will we have to get a new one each time we play.

     3. Will we be able to fly other then Federation Ships. IE being a pirate. a Rogue. Miner, Transporter, Does everybody have to be in the federations.

     4. This one is a big one. can we fly the Ships from inside. looking out from the Flightdeck or the bridge. or will it be Eve Based looking at the Butt end of your vessel.

     5. Other question have already been asked. but are important. Skill based lvl or Time consuming grinding and fighting. I like the Skill based like Eve. it gives the players time to be in Real life not having to sit in front of there computer for 8 to 12 hours a day grinding.
   
     6 will there be player owned Station, ships, Corporations, What as a Player will I be able to own other then the clothers on my back and the Pistol on my hip.


Look forward to hearing some of the Idea's the devs are coming up with. This game has been a long time waiting.
