Ask Cryptic explains how Star Trek Online will handle canon
The latest Ask Cryptic focusing on Star Trek Online addresses a number of questions sci-fi fans have about where the IP is heading in the MMO space. Not surprisingly, many of the questions asked of Cryptic deal with how well they'll adhere to Star Trek canon. The Cryptic Studios devs were asked about how they would handle the iconic story and characters of Star Trek, namely with voiceovers and cut scenes. The devs state that Star Trek Online avoids issues of tampering with Trekkie canon by setting the game in 2409, a good 30 years after Star Trek: Nemesis and Star Trek: Voyager. So while some of the locales familiar to Star Trek fans will be present in the game, players shouldn't expect to bump into any (or many) familiar faces.
Time Ace turns clock forward on Time Pilot
Next to the crew of the starship Voyager, only Konami's Time Pilot had a more blatant disregard for the temporal prime directive. If some people worry about changing history by stepping on a butterfly, Time Pilot tossed all that out a window by just blowing up anything in history's path to ... well, to do something we're not actually sure of -- but we're sure it was justified. Now Konami shows off their latest middle finger to the temporal prime directive: Time Ace.DSFanboy has the pretty pictures of the After Burner-through-time re-imagining of Time Pilot. The game is expected to release next week for those who need a modern After Burner fix that has them blowing up pirate ships and anything else history puts in the way of your progress. Who needs a temporal prime directive, right Cpt. Janeway?
