Atomic MPC posted a new interview with Star Trek Online MMORPG executive producer Craig Zinkievich and here are few excerpts.
A: Has the game shaped up as you wanted it?
CZ: I would say the game has shaped up how we've wanted it so far. This being an MMO and there being so much lore and history in the Star Trek IP that there is still a whole lot we want to add in. We're definitely not done shaping.
A: There's a lot of positive sounding players in in-game chat, but there's also a lot of complaints on the STO forums, especially regarding the quest system and the prevalence of "kill x of Y" type missions. Are there plans to introduce a more varied quest structure?
CZ: Well, bear in mind we have Episode missions, which are quite varied and go beyond the standard "X of Y" missions. We'll definitely be adding more of those to the game as time goes on, as well as more varied missions of all types. That's not to say missions that demand you exercise your tactical abilities will go away, but we do plan on giving players a lot to do as time goes on.
A: Similarly, while players - and I'm one of them - tend to love the starship based stuff, many dislike and avoid ground missions. Will ground-based quests receive an overhaul at any point?
CZ: Yes! We will be working on ground missions to get them up to par with space. We want to take all aspects of gameplay and continually make it better. So, yes that means working on ground missions to make those better and more engaging, but also delivering better improved gameplay across the board.
