Goddamn, I cannot imagine a shittier, more boring license to center an MMOG around than Star Trek, circa Next Generation timeline, with all players being forced to be StarFleet. Add in the forced grouping concept, and I can forsee great suffering across the geekosphere.

People have wanted the franchise dead pretty consistently since 1967. I courteously suggest they go get the 2x4 extracted by a competent proctologist. That said I'm not much interested in an ST MMO unless I get something similar to Jumpgate but without the open PvP. I'd love to play a Ferengi trader. |

Moving forward a few years to the Dominion War timeline might have been more interesting. But there are items of interest in the TNG timeline - the Cardassian Cold War and the whole Maquis thing, the periodic Borg incursions - pre Hugh, anyway - the "reappearance" of the Romulans... But I'm biased; a second generation Trekkie who in high school - before MMGs existed and before I'd heard of MUDs - wrote a crude design doc for a Star Trek online game. |

I would spend my entire time on the Holodeck, merrily banging my way through history. Sod the Prime Directive.

Might be fun to be the Star Trek version of a bum. Because, you know, I would not have any real motivation to do any work in a moneyless society.

Well this is star trek so it would be more like banging your way through all the barmaids, princesses, green chicks in miniskirts on the holodeck. kaid |

I think his point was he would never leave the holodeck because he was spending some quality time with a young Phibi Cates and not bothering to travel to the planet of the green skin'd miniskirt women.

Id rather play one in the Starfleet Battles universe. Everyone is at war with each other and peace treaties and alliances only last as long as some greater threat shows up then everyone goes back to shooting the galaxy up with Phasers, Disruptors, Scatterpack Shuttles (*swoon*), PPDs, and any other wacky weapon the various factions can come up with.

Would that be anything like showing Eve what a real snake is?
