Every player in Star Trek Online is a Kirk or Picard %28or a Janeway or Sisko%2C I suppose%29 rather than a behind-the-scenes red-shirt working their way painstakingly through the Starfleet Academy and up the ranks.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe bridge officers that you take on board with you determine what you can do in combat - take a good engineer with a shield-recharging skill and you%27ll be better able to recover from damage.%0D%0A%0D%0AYour crew is a main element of player customisation according to Zinkievich - you%27ll get to name them%2C choose their appearance and equip them as you please. When you%27re not teamed up with other starship captains%2C they%27ll also accompany you planetside%2C making the game relatively solo-friendly.%5B%2Fi%5D%0D%0A%0D%0AI just want to call dibs on a crew of colorful individuals who are all displacees from an alternate dimension where they were all involved in a very complicated competition which has left them at odds with each other%2C but have reforged their friendship since then. 1|1|0|||||RE%3A Star Trek Online preview|Lethosos||13:52:20|08/31/2009|I%27m waiting for the Gorn player skin packs before I even join up. %3AD 2|1|0|||1||RE%3A Star Trek Online preview|Gryphon||14:14:28|08/31/2009|%3EI just want to call dibs on a crew of colorful individuals who are all %0D%0A%3Edisplacees from an alternate dimension where they were all involved in %0D%0A%3Ea very complicated competition which has left them at odds with each %0D%0A%3Eother%2C but have reforged their friendship since then. %0D%0A%0D%0AThat sounds oddly familiar.
