it would be better if this game had more bridge position u could play besides captin like just being a first officer or chief of security or helmsman the creators of this game need to make a change because just being a captin right from the start is boring

    Probably not art related.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Cryptic has limited resources for a free-to-play game so it can't offer the equivalent of the Bridge Crew game with different stations for each player. This might be the droids that you're looking for -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Bridge_Crew

    Are you suggesting that two (or more) players being able to take various roles on a star ship? I'm not sure (but its unlikely) if this is even possible with the current engine.

    that may have worked if the game was redesigned.. level 1-10 you are an engineering crew or tactical crew or science crew. 11-20 away team member 21-30 bridge officer 31-40 xo after 40 coomander captain etc.
    but that ain't the way it's designed

    So your first post is a suggestion for a complete ground up re-design and rebuild of the entire game?

    Yeah, this will go well. :lol:

    I'll add my 'NO' to the mix.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Might want to try looking for a Role Play group then if you want those roles. Normal gameplay has us as Captains.

    I just call my characters 'Captains.'

    The game can call them all Admirals if it wants, but that doesn't make sense. My 'Main' is an Admiral, the rest are Captains that take orders from him and the rest of the Admiralty Board.

    That's sort of how I do it too, to point that my main's tac officer is named and modelled after my andorian tactical officer character.

    Maybe, in another game, but here you are made Captain by circumstances beyond your control, or forced into the role. To do what you ask would require new storylines on literally all factions.

If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    Well, given that the tech now exists to play as another character (Renegade's Regret, Quark's Lucky Seven), perhaps playing as one of our BOFFs might be possible.

    Indeed it does, so a mission or two would be doable, but a re-doing the storylines from the perspective of each faction and/or career would be a whole different ball-game.

    Yeah it's conceivable they could add the captain to the list of away team options. The player would still control whatever character was set as away team lead and use whatever gear and skills were equipped.
