Hello everyone!

My name is Sean "Commander Ander" McCann. I?m the newest addition to the content team here on Star Trek Online! I was formerly a content designer for three years on City of Heroes, and I'm really excited to have the chance to work on Star Trek Online and interact with everyone here in the community!

If you were a fan of my work on City of Heroes, then I hope my work on STO will exceed your expectations.

If you didn't care for my work on City of Heroes, then I hope my work on STO will exceed your expectations.

If you have no idea who I am, then trust me when I say that I will be working hard alongside the other great content designers on STO to make incredible content for the game.

That's everything I have to say for now, but I'm sure you?ll all be hearing plenty from me in the future! I'll be lurking around the forums and checking out everything you guys have to say about the game and its story.

    Howdy and welcome to STO and Ten Forward! Come on in and leave your sanity at the door. :D


    It's always a nice treat to see new faces in and around STO, and I hope ya enjoy yourself, and have fun, working with STO.


    On a fun note, can I ask about a school bus being worked into content somehow? :P

    Welcome CommanderAnder :)

    Sorry to hear about City of Heroes, A few of my friends were very long term players (probably over 10 years by now) and they told us that you guys felt as shafted as they did when the closure was announced.

    It's a shame, and from what I could tell, a rather pointless move.

    Still, it is always good to see new developers here at STO, and I hope you enjoy your time here :)

    Always great to see new devs! I'm sure you'll do great work.

    I would like to challenge you to do two things:
    1) Interact with the community. As much as you're allowed anyway, we know how it is :)
    2) Be a champion for the Foundry. We have so many great things in this game that are not available for use in the Foundry. Help us help you make the game better.

    Welcome aboard.

    Hello and welcome, Commander Ander!

    Have you had a chance to play Star Trek Online? If so, what are your favorite and least favorite things about it? Anything that would be on a dream list that you'd want to see added to the game?

    Hi Sean,

    Thanks for the introduction, and welcome to the wonderful world of STO. I hope you settle in quickly and everyone makes you feel welcomed. :)

    Content designer eh? So that means STO will be getting some actual content eventually? :confused: :rolleyes: :P

    Joking aside, welcome to the madness that is STO. :)

    Welcome!

    You'll find many people starving for content here. If you're brave enough, you can take a look at the klingon gameplay forums. But be wary, it's a dangerous area. :cool:

    The cynical side of me says grind-mechanics.

    But the more rational side says wait and see.

    Glad to see you've landed here! Your addition to the team can only portend good things ahead (as I'm certainly familiar with your work over in CoH).

    I have played Star Trek Online! I have a level 50 Fed and I'm working on my Klingon (Gorn!) now. I don't think I can divulge quite yet my favorite and least favorite things about it, as I don't want to come off promising anything. I do have a ton of ideas, though, of some cool things that could be done!

    Regarding my previous experience, I worked on writing and designing new story arcs (equivalent of episodes), task forces (equivalent of STF's), and also worked on the game's equivalent of the Foundry. Did I use the word equivalent enough?

    I'd like to think of myself as a writer and designer, working on developing stories, missions, maps, powers, critters, cutscenes, smaller systems, etc.

    I was! Also, I just discovered the forum rule that a message needs to be at least ten characters. We're all learning things today.
