Star Trek Online FAQ describes PvP rules
Filed under: Sci-fi, New titles, News items, PvE, Star Trek Online
Even more Star Trek Online information has beamed in. This time, it's in the FAQ page just published by Cryptic Studios. The FAQ is a good place to catch up on the highlights from the recent revelations, but there's new stuff too.
The most substantial revelation is that there won't be PvP, PvE, or RP server types as in World of Warcraft and other games. There will only be one server type. There will be far-flung regions of space in which open PvP will be possible. In the nuetral zone (the border between factions), consensual PvP engagements will occur. It's implied that PvP will not be possible deep within Federation or Klingon space.
Oh, and the FAQ includes some grim news for certain would-be players. It turns out that you'll actually need an internet connection to play Star Trek Online! Oh man! Say it ain't so! That's unacceptable, right? Maybe we should start a petition.

I'm not much of a PVPer so that part wasn't too interesting to me. What I did like in that FAQ was the idea that we'll be able to create our very own alien race to play. That sounds very cool!

So you'll be able to customize the putty on your nose that distinguishes you from all the other putty-nosed aliens that are all over Star Trek? :)
