| Star Trek Online: Ask Cryptic & Meet the Team
Cryptic Studios released a pair of articles over the weekend. The first is "Ask Cryptic" and deals with ground combat. The second is "Meet the Team" and introduces Shaun Brodie. Keep reading!
 - Ask Crypic:Here is a basic overview on ground combat.
Players beam down to a planet with a five-member Away Team. If you have less than four other player captains with you, the remaining members of the away team are made up of your Bridge Officers. But if you only have two other captains on your team, two Bridge Officers from the pool of the three player captains' Officers can be selected and beamed down with the team.
You control your officers' actions, and have several different modes to employ. Some of those modes include: Aggressive, meaning they'll pursue and engage enemies; Defensive, meaning they'll wait for your orders to attack enemies; and Target Your Target, meaning you can command your officers to focus fire on your chosen adversary. - Meet the Shaun Brodie:What do you do on Star Trek Online?
I'm an online community rep for STO, which means I spend an awful lot of time hanging out with the STO fan base. I spend most of my day reading our official forums, and passing the feedback I gather on to the rest of the team. I also act as the forum manager, and take care of escalations from our moderation team, as well as helping out with stuff like taking screen shots, and all that other fun behind the scenes stuff.
Right now, I just finished setting up private fleet forums for a few guilds. It's something new we're trying out here on the STO forums, and I'm really excited by it. If everything works out with it, I'm hoping to expand on this idea quite a bit!
