How do you plan on continuing to grow the amount of content for players in Star Trek Online?

Well since the Star Trek franchise has so much history and so much lore out there, we can expand on that and add new episodes to our game. We want to have more playable factions and really we just want to keep adding new content such as episodes, exploration, diplomacy, ship interaction, and PvP.

Now, to what extent such "diplomacy" and "ship interaction" will be introduced is something we don't know yet.
Let's hope that such gameplay actually does deserve to be called as such and that its not just a case that the word "diplomacy" is tagged onto a very shallow story that involves you making one single choice that has no bearing on matters at all.

In other words: if you're going to do something, do it right or not at all.

As for ship interaction, if nothing else, please can you make sure the Captains chair is actually in the centre of the bridge AND be perpendicular to the viewscreen?

    Would be really interesting. I've always known the Star Trek series as taking things on the "diplomatic" side, when fighting is only a last-resort when dealing with other factions.

    What would make me really happy is the ability to actually SIT in my captains chair instead of having it send me back to tactical view and without having to use a carefully lined up emote. Which btw on some bridges never does line up quite right.

    Agreed, sitting in the chair should be allowed.

    EDIT: Having viewed the different "bridges". The "Standard", "Sleek", "Utility" and "future" bridge configurations seem to have the viewscreen out of position. The "Strategic", "Victory" and "Defiant" bridge configs seem ok in terms of the viewscreen location.

    Oh you mean it's coming like the infinite genesis engine generated content?

    I'll believe it when I see it.
