Skewed and Reviewed recently sat down again with Craig Zinkievich Executive Producer for Star Trek Online at Cryptic Studio and discussed ship customization and how it is planned for their up coming MMOG.

Players will have access to a “dozen different starship classifications .. on the Federation side.” Each ship will have configurable parts from “the nacelles, the pylons, the saucer, the bridge, change the color details or windows”. If anything, Cryptic is known for their customization features from the City of Heroes franchise.

Not only are ships customizable but so is your race. Players will be able to chose from some “of the well-known races of the Star Trek Universe – Human, Vulcan, Klingon, Gorn, etc – or creating your own race with the Alien Creator.” It’ll be interesting to see how players “will [be able to] use their imaginations to add new races to the Star Trek Universe”.

The interview contains other tidbits that you may find interesting like group sizes and resource gathering. To read the rest of the interview following this link.
