Listen, I understand your point of view. The ogirinal game design used by the previous developers of this game would have been interesting to see in action.
And I don't totally trust Cryptic or the direction they are taking with this game.
But the last thing we needed right now was yet another thread ranting (and not even saying anything new) about how the old version of the game would have been better than what is in development now. Maybe it would have been and maybe not. But the old version is gone. It isn't going to happen. The point has been debated to death on this forum and there is no longer any point in beating a dead horse.
Please notice there is a seperate forum for the discussion of the Perpetual Entertainment version of the game. If you still need to vent about how you would have preferred that version of the game then please take your rant there.
Yeah It would have it's just too bad that the PE version didn't even come close to what is explained on that page you linked. They had cut so much of that out by the time their company went belly up that the game they were working on didn't even remotely resemble the "fairy tale" STO that Memory Alpha describes on that page. About 2 years into production of the game that page describes Glen Dahlgren, the guy that wrote the original design documents for STO left PE because Darron Stinnett the EP had trimmed and changed so much that it didn't even remotely resemble the game Glen had originally set out to create(Those SS are from Glen's original plans for STO btw).
No the STO that PE was producing was a total train wreck of a game and I feel we are very lucky that they dropped the ball and Cryptic was there to pick it up. The game PE would have produced was definitely not the game that is described on Memory Alpha. That was the game that Glen Dahlgren originally set out to design before Darron Stinnett butchered it beyond all recognition. We are very lucky that Cryptic has the game now.
