OnlineWelten Artikel zum Onlinespiel Star Trek Online

Onlinewelten: Ok. Another question: Can I invite other players to my ship and show them my bridge?

Andy Velasquez: You will be able to invite other captains to hang out on your bridge, yes. But we have to think about certain restriction concerning this. It just has to fit the IP. 30 People hanging out on one bridge would be quite weird, you know.

Onlinewelten: Have you ever considered to add other factions or races into Star Trek Online? And if so, which one will be the next on your list?

Andy Velasquez: Ooh, yes! Well, we acutally haven’t decided yet which one will be in next. There are just so many factions we could add. Just think of the Cardassians, Romulans or even the Dominion. All of those races would be amazing.

Onlinewelten: Sounds exciting. Well, last question: What happens if I got defeated in battle. Do I lose my ship or something?

Andy Velasquez: Early in the project we had a good and long – well, I would say discussion but it was more like an argument. You know, just as developers always do. But in the end I think we all agreed that we want people to have a fun gameplay experience. Spending hundreds and hundres of hours in the game, just for gaining that excalibur ship or something, and then losing it one day in battle, that wouldn’t be fun for the majority of players.

Onlinewelten: So let’s do it like Kirk and Picard, and just put an A,B,C,D,E,F,G and so on behind your ship’s name?

Andy Velasquez: That’s acutally one thing we were definatley be thinking about. But I guess there will be players crashing there ships even more often than Kirk and Picard ever did with the Enerprise.

Onlinewelten: Oh yes, I think I will be one of those candidates, as you could the during the play-session… Well, then thank you very much for your time Andy!
