In the newest installment of "Ask Cryptic," Executive Producer Dan Stahl answers 30 questions from Star Trek Online fans. Thirty! As you can imagine, the Q&A covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from broad questions to very specific issues. Here's Stahl's response regarding the future of the game:

"The next step forward is continuing to make the game more 'Star Trek.' This includes more story, more locations and factions from the universe, and generally more elements that allow the game to feel like the shows. There are a ton of features on our backlog to get to, but in general, the motto is 'More Like Trek.' "

Stahl also says that Cryptic wants to introduce a "Crew" system as an important gameplay element on your ship in Season 4. He hints that some major PvP features may hit the Holodeck between Seasons 5 and 6 and mentions that Cryptic is actively looking for software and UI programmers to help update Start Trek's user interface.
