1) Player housing?
2) Crafting to make sellable items?
3) XP Debt?
4) An Auction House?
5) Professions/Archetypes?

I'm also curious to know if there will be some kind of character tweak system as most games have. In Warcraft you add skill points and spec your toon (armour and weapons aside), in LOTR you slot Traits with a Bard. What will be STO's "thing"...

I am still curious about how it will work, from what I have seen there are space battles with the ships but also individual characters. Will there be different scenarios for each?

I would imagine the following might apply:

1) Your ship is your "housing".
2) Possible simple crafting mechanics for special ship items and weapons, since food and clothing and provided by the ship automatically.
3) Hopefully not. Makes no sense in the ST universe.
4) I would imagine the Federation should have one within its system.
5) Most definitely for your hired crew members.

I dont know if it will have an autction house...since theyve stated that their wont be money, but rather prestige/reputation, kinda hard to hand that over in exchange for a good ;)

Anything is possible in games, hence behold the Prestige Credit System! Where selling your honors points yields you better gear and ships!

Kinda like Indecent Proposal, minus the wife.

Hopefully it will have an auction house, and semi-customizable ships.

I read an article a while back, think it was in an old issue of Game Informer, that said that the ships would be customizable in appearance and that there would be professions/archetypes for you to choose from. Although, I think with the latter, it basically boiled down to some skill bonuses. They had examples for it though, like how you would be a starship captain no matter what, but that you would also be this other thing. Like how Picard was a captain and an archeologist. I think they even mentioned some of the classes to choose from, and I believe that they were Doctor, Scientist, Engineer, Archeologist, Soldier, and I want to say Pilot was there as well, and I believe there were more besides that. Not entirely sure, I'd have to dig up the magazine and look.

A lot like the Silent Hunter games, where you use Renown to get new sonars and torpedoes and whatnots for your sub.

I hope so, i want too be able to fully tour my ships to be honest.

i wonder how death is going too be handled in this one...
