This question came from the set of questions posed to D. Stahl in the most recent question/answer forum:
- 26. Kpt.Krell - Q: You said that there should be an explore-able Sol system. How would that work? Can you go to the moon and Mars colony? Can you visit Jupiter Station? Also, when can we expect feature episodes to be translated into French or German?
- A: We have created a system map for each planet in the Sol system, and where appropriate we have also added stations and other sites that are expected to be there such as Utopia Planetia at Mars and Jupiter Station at Jupiter. You will have a navigation option that will ask you which planet you want to visit and it will transfer you there....
Additionally, I'd like to see a San Francisco and Starfleet Academy. My thinking is that officers, captains, fleet admirals, etc., can make certain assignments here for their crew or fleet. In other words, these characters could train up by taking "courses" (i.e., completing tasks) relevant to their background (tactical, science, etc.). Here too, I would think, captains could take leadership "courses" or diplomatic "courses" to increase their level/rank and would then open the door to new rewards and/or missions.
Further, I think the Academy would be a wonderful opportunity to try out new weaponry or kits without the pressure of being in the field. It would also be a recruiting station where young recruits could be "interviewed," tested, and educated further by captains or fleet admirals (i.e., for their fleet bases in the future). The recruits could be then assigned to appropriate departments as the role of crew members increases (again, see Stahl's interview).
The same might be said about different species and their organizations. I can think of two examples: 1) Vulcan Science Academy - where in depth "courses" could be given to those willing to participate and (2) the Bajoran schools - where soldiers could be trained in combat missions, under the supervision of former resistance leaders (e.g., Major Kira - if she's still alive?).
