In the world of Star Trek, there's nothing quite like grabbing a few moments of R&R with your first mate on the holodeck or heading down to engineering to check up on your favorite ship's power core. Unfortunately, as we've been unable to explore the interior of our own ships since we first got our hands on Star Trek Online's pre-release beta program (nonetheless the final product), those wonderfully humdrum space activities will have to be postponed for a little while. But hey, they're coming ... or so says Cryptic executive producer Craig Zinkievich, at least.
"Anything we can do to make the game feel even more like Star Trek is something we want to do ... so, definitely, we want to give people more of their ship," he tells Inc Gamers, adding, "This is one of those things we want to get perfect before introducing it to players, though," indicating that the functionality likely won't be arriving in the near future. And us, well we just want to passive aggressively flirt with crew members -- is that so much to ask?

I'm not an MMO gamer but I'm glad to see a lot of effort being put into something that isn't Warcraft related.

I don't seem to hear many positive things about AoC. Perhaps it's because of the huge ST fan-base this is getting so much hype? I don't know, but I'm not much of a Trek fan at all and this even has MY attention.

This is getting hype because its new. Just like AOC got hype, just like Warhammer got hype. Triple AAA funded and advertised MMO's are so few and far in between that when one is released it gets coverage for a few months. Especially with press releases about new content or future plans.
STO is not revolutionary. It'll settle around 250,000 paying subs like most non-free MMO "successes" get.

You can't truly be Kirk without the ability to troll the halls looking at all the mini skirts

I wouldn't be able to go and chat with Scotty, so what's the point?
I did like how the Nomandy ChEng was a Scottsman, though. Nice touch.

Screw holodecks. Take a hint from Mass Effect and give us holosuites.

How about opening up the world so I don't switch instances every fifteen seconds?

Is it like a mix of Bridge Commander and Elite Force? That would be awesome.

Right now it's more like Starfleet Command with a small side of Elite Force. Definitely needs more Bridge Commander...
