A Star Trek Online Interview
Sknr.net has an interview with Craig Zinkievich, an Executive Producer at Cryptic Studios, the company that develops the Star Trek Online MMOPG, one of the games that I’m really waiting for.
One thing that got my attention was the fact that each player will have his own ship. I know from the game forums that many people wished for the possibility of playing together on a ship, each player with his own position. From what I understand that will not be possible, but it will be possible in away missions.
GVK: How do you address the issue of players dropping out of game during ship missions, as I can imagine losing your helmsman or tactical officer during a firefight could be tough?
CZ: In space, each player is the captain of their own ship. So if they drop connection, it’s like a player logging out of any MMO. On an away team, if a player drops out of your team you can replace him or her with one of your bridge officers.
