Cryptic discusses user-generated content and future improvements for STO

Filed under: Sci-fi, Interviews, Patches, Star Trek Online

As Star Trek Online concludes its shakedown cruise of the recent Season 2.0 update, players have turned their eyes to the future and pondered, “What’s next?” Coming to their aid is STO’s executive producer Dan Stahl, who fields a large number of questions about upcoming features and works in progress in the latest Ask Cryptic article.

One of the inquiries covered was user-generated content, which Stahl confirmed would be coming — at least in beta form — with Season 3. “We aren’t discussing our specific plans just yet, but we do want the tools to be easy to use so that players can begin to create their own missions and episodes,” he said. “This may or may not be the big secret project we are working on.”

Other questions into the future development of Star Trek Online included customizable ship interiors, the PvP system, bridge officer promotions, expanding the Sol System, the ability to play as a holographic character, and bridge officer voices. And for those standing at the edge of their captain’s chairs, eager to sit down, don’t fret: Cryptic is hard at work on the long-awaited “sit in chairs” feature. You can read the full Ask Cryptic over at STO’s website.
