It'll be a success even if it sucks.
And you'll have people like Ken to thank for that.

Sheesh, I'm not that bad, loved the matrix series and I don't play MxO.
Not to mention the fact that I'm a diehard Star Wars fan and I hate SWG.
Believe me, if STO doesn't measure up, I wont be paying for it.

It seems the ship battles will be plaver vs NPC's, untill they release "other expansions", probably Klingon and Romulan. At any rate their ideas seem very sound, and its not that bad of an Idea. Although "realizing the massiveness of space" will probably be the hardest thing for them to do. Thats to bad you cant be a Ferngi and make yourself a nice trading empire.. but i guess if i wanted to do that id go over to that other game..
I think the only problem i have with it is that I dont have the time or energy to put into a WoW like game. Im shure the away missions and puzzles will probably be great, and going on raids to gain that Captain rank quicker would be pretty fun. And It would be interesting to see, and even more interesting to see a Darkspace based fleet over there.
but if ive learned anything from my 3 yrs here, it is that the goal is the having fun along the Journey and fighting NPC's no matter how nice it looks, just comes down to showing off to people arround you. And not to knock anyone but does anyone really get any real sense of accomplishment from telling friends how many bots you killed over a space of a year to get your Captains chair?
Unless their AI is top notch, and addaptive they should take a few pages from Darkspace and start off with more Human vs Human, (rather than the Holodeck options, lol )

I agree with Charz, they should base it more on PvP instead of PvNPC, might make it more interesting to have a fed captain in a galxy class against a borg in a cube......might be more fun to implicate that...otherwise looks cool.....

Meh, then it would be like ST:BC multiplayer all over again...
I think PvE is something that's necessary with all MMORPGs (a minor gripe I've had with DS, as it isn't really all MMO-ish). Just so long as you can PLAY as the Romulans, them feddies suck.

This game is going to suck hard. But I'll be the first one to pick it up.

Pretty much everything condensed.
