Emmert: Klingon Gameplay Almost Entirely PvP

A user on the official Star Trek Online forum pointed users toward an interesting podcast interview with Producer Daniel Stahl, who confirmed on the STOked show that Klingons will have no episodic or genesis content, and will be completely focused on PvP.

Needless to say, the thread became so popular that Cryptic's Jack Emmert decided to respond. Emmert confirmed that "Klingon gameplay is almost entirely PvP," but did say that the team will add more content if players demand it. Cryptic has apparently already added some PvE content for Klingons.

"If people like the federation gameplay, we can put that in for the Klingons. If players have a different set of requests for klingons, we can do that instead. We can make STO into the game that YOU want," Emmert said. So we'll ask that question to our readers: What do you want to see in Star Trek Online? Would you like Klingons to remain mainly PvP or not?

Keep reading after the jump for Emmert's full statement.

Seems like good ole Dan kicked off Klingon month in STYLE!

First, let me apologize that info has been slow to get out. Believe it or not, December was supposed to "klingon" month. I have zero clue why it's Dec. 15th and still nothing, but I can tell you this WILL change (I just saw the threads yesterday).

Secondly, yes, Klingon gameplay is almost entirely PvP. We are trying to get some PvE in (there's already a tad bit). And, if the players demand it, we'll add more content (like episodes). I want us to be agile as a company and respond to what the customers want.

Third, I'll reiterate my point in the other thread. I'm most excited about playing a Klingon. I love combat in a bird of prey. Klingons are getting attention - from me. It's not as much as I'd want, but we have a foundation that we can grow into. If people like the federation gameplay, we can put that in for the Klingons. If players have a different set of requests for klingons, we can do that instead. We can make STO into the game that YOU want.

I'll close with that. MMORPG's aren't just about release. They're about community and the years of gameplay. Disappointed that there isn't more Klingon gameplay? Play STO, tell us what you'd like and we can deliver that. Every passing day, we can make STO into what the fans want.
