The future of Star Trek Online
The executive producer of Star Trek Online, Craig Zinkievich, has revealed plans for the near future of his latest MMO. Mini games, diplomacy, increased level cap, a new faction and more await us “there where no one has gone before.”
Fans of Star Trek Online will also enjoy the new Squad System that will allow players of different levels to form teams. It will provide an overall balance of the game.
Zinkievich announced other things for this new update, which should be out “by the end of July”. “It will increase the level cap to level a Vice Admiral, there will be a new diplomatic corps of the Federation in which you can enter (and then career) by taking part in exploratory missions. The “interior” of the spacecraft will be extended beyond the bridge and will eventually be added to the mini-game that can be played within your spacecraft or space stations.
Almost all content will be available regardless of faction. Both members of the Federation, Klingon that they can enjoy. Cryptic is also planning a new episodic content to let out every week.
In view of the future,sto credits revealed that the Cryptic team is considering adding a new playable faction (Romulans, Cardassians or Borg?) And the ability to include user-generated content. Over the next several months, the company will do surveys of players in order to understand what is the best direction to take. The ideas already exist and include, in addition to the above, also PvP.
