There's a
Star
Trek Online Interview on Eurogamer where Cryptic's Craig Zinkievich
answers some questions about the upcoming game looking to boldly go where no
MMORPG has gone before. They also discuss the change of pace the sci-fi genre
represents after working as producer on the two "City of" comic book games,
ground combat, melee combat, and more. They discuss how the Klingons are a fully
playable race in the game, though it will take several hours of gameplay to
unlock the ability to roll up a Klingon. They also go into how Klingon gameplay
will differ from Federation gameplay, involving a more PvP focus, and while
the game will launch with only two factions, they plan to add more after launch,
saying: "the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassians will come back - there's a
huge number who want to play as them, but not within the Star Fleet, not within
the Federation." Weird side-note of the day: My spell checker thinks "Klingon"
should be changed to "Clinton."
