1. The Klingons and the Federation will fight against each other, but will there be any kind of competition betwen fleets in the same fraction?
- Well Klingons have been known to fight each other. So there will definitely be some PvP where they fight. The Federation will be able to fight against each other, as well. Just in PvP of course.

2. What kind of activities will there be when we don't feel like exploring?
- Well like I just mentioned there will be PvP where you can head to the neutral zone and battle other players. There will be our episodic missions where you can pick and choose which mission you want to do next. There will be hangout spots where you and your friends can meet and up. So there will be lots to do if you don’t feel like exploring.



3. On Earth or Q'nos we can only transport into specific places for ecample Starfleet HQ, lounge, etc... or we can transport into open areas? Can we feel that we are walking on the futuristic streets of San Francisco?
- There will be lots of places that you can transport. Planets, Starbases, ships, etc. We don’t have plans as of yet to have you walking in the futuristic streets of San Francisco but if it’s something fans really want we’ll look into it.

4. Will the ships be realistic in size or not? For example will the ships size be like in Bridge Commander or not?
- The ships are definitely realistic in size. For example Cruisers are much bigger than Escort ships. The ship team has done a really good job at scaling the ships to their sizes.



5. Will there be an episode or a random encounter with Q? Cause Q is an element of the Star Trek universe that can't be left out.
- We’d definitely love to do some Episodes with members of the Q Continuum. We’re all huge fans of his, too. So without giving too much away, it’s definitely possible.

6. So we can get our crew from anywhere but how will this work? Will they automatically get their uniform or, we have to send them to the academy, or like seven of nine they will become an honorary member of the crew?
- As you move up in experience or merit new Ensigns fresh out of the academy will be assigned to you. You will then train them up, equip them, and then it’s up to you which one’s you will bring with you on away missions.



7. Could you describe a certian skill? Like an engineer captain who wants to escape from a space battle and boosts energy for a spectacular maneuver and warps out. Will there be skills similar like this?
- Sure! Each of your bridge officers will have certain skills. So a tactical officer for example might have the ability to do a fire at will or an engineer officer might have the ability to boost your shields if they are getting weak. But how you use your bridge officers skills and who you have slotted in their appropriate spot will be entirely up to you as the Captain.

8. Will voice-chat be available?
- Not at launch, but we do want to make sure we can provide our customers with the features they demand be in the game. If there’s enough demand for Cryptic-provided voice chat, we’ll definitely look into it to see if it’s something we can provide at a quality level equal to what third-party voice software can provide.
