Anytime a new RPG is developed there is always
a question of how well it will fit the needs & wants of the fans.
Everyone has his or her own idea of how the game will look and feel.
One road block for the developers is that the fan base is so wide.
The original Star Trek with and Dr. McCoy started over forty years ago.
Since then we have had several different series and many movies to
widen he fan base. Fans want the most intensive graphics and gaming
that can be achieved. No one wants to be upset especially after
the long wait they have endured for Star Trek Online.

There are a few things that are unclear but as they
continue to create the game these things will be decided and posted
on the official website. One of the things that have not been decided
yet is the cost structure. Cryptic Studios has not decided if they
are going to have the subscription fee that is the norm for most
online games. They have also not finalized the system requirements.
The would like this game to be played on the Xbox 360 but they also have
to consider the game graphics and how well it runs on certain systems.
One of the hopes is that PC and console players will be able to
play on the same servers. They don’t foresee any problem with this since the technology is already there.

Starting with in the next month or so Cryptic Studios is going to
continually update their website to bring fans up to date (ie. Star Trek Online Ships).
The site will have a year-by-year timeline. The calendar will provide fans with
updates on what has been going on since the last movie. It will give them
an idea of what has been going on for the past several stardates when the
game comes out. This way there will be no puzzled looks as to what is
going on when the game starts.

The Star Trek RPG should not disappoint even the most
particular trekkies. With the updates and the website they should be ready
to jump in and play when the game is released.
