Cryptic Reveals Star Trek Online Details

Stborg

Cryptic Studios has posted their latest internal Q&A session revealing a number of details about the upcoming Star Trek Online no doubt designed to make Trekkies salivate.

The entire post is packed full of geeky Trek details, but even those of us who can't tell a Tribble from a hamster should be excited about certain confirmations. Specifically, that the game will feature Cryptic's legendary level of character customization (see City of Heroes, Champions Online), and that Federation ships will accurately reflect the Trek television shows.

Unfortunately, it's not all good news. Trek's memorable three-dimensional chess games may not appear in Star Trek Online: "We are always looking at gameplay elements to enhance the Star Trek experience. 3D chess is a Trek classic, and it's on the list. But it may not be in for launch –- maybe an expansion."
