STCR Q&A
Here the STCR dev team will try to answer your questions regarding the development.
Sorry, the "game crashing, what to do" sort of questions doesn't belong here.

So, go ahead and ask, somebody of us may answer your question.

Answered question will eventually be moved in the first post.
Please keep in mind that some answers may suddenly become outdated and obsolete.

Q: Are the devs planning on adding anything from the Kelvin Timeline / JJVerse?
A (Nathanius): Not soon, but also not never. It's on a list we have, but not close to the top of it :)
A (Dark Sentinel): Not impossible, but zero priority as for now (September 2016); we have enough tasks, ships and issues to deal with in main timeline.

Q: Will there be additional playable factions on Star Trek Continuum?
A (Dark Sentinel): Long: Well, the Cardassians are the first wave, the rest depend on available ships and what we decide to be fun. Short: most probably yes.

Q: Will there be playable Xindi (8472, Borg, anyone else) faction?
A (Dark Sentinel): Well, general answer for all the new races as for now (September 2016) would be "probably, can't say for sure".

Q: I know they would be (and should be) really over powered, but will we ever have the Borg Collective as a playable race?
A (Nathanius): We have plans for the Borg, and will be needing a bit of community feedback to get the balance right. They will be a unique challenge!

Q: Will the Borg be able to assimilate ships?
A (Dark Sentinel):Assimilated ships are one of those ultimate challenges we have. As for now (September 2016) no details known for sure. UPD Dec 2017: See! It works!

Q: Can you add some old starships from TMP to the TNG universe?

I've seen the Excelsior and Miranda-Class ships in some episodes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and even a couple of episodes of Voyager.

If they appeared in those TV series, why not in the TNG universe on Star Trek Continuum?
A (Nathanius): Short answer is No, there's plenty of TNG ships without bringing in more. But with other game modes we've thought about we'll need even more ships... so there's a chance there.

Q: I was playing under the Enterprise timeframe and was able to build two of the Vulcan cruisers but was not able to do more with the D'Kyr class than research aspects about the ship. I gained the alliances with each species and formed the UFP. Am I missing something or is it not available?
A (Nathanius): The model for the D'Kyr has some massive errors which means that only the ring and the little docked shuttle shows in-game. So we disabled it until we can get a new D'kyr. You've not done anything wrong :D

Q: When do you think the Detroyat and McQuarrie classes will be added to the TOS era?
A (Dark Sentinel): As for now: no idea. When they're ready, probably.
A (Major Stress): Short version... "When they are finished". Long version... I can not guarentee an exact time due to my RL work scheduale. I am currently working on TOS era ships as i type this. It has been a very VERY slow process. Being as i work very long hours. Plus i just want to get it right. I am almost finished with the Detroyat. I really think you will like her ;) The McQuarrie will not be far behind. There are other ships in work too. Also the Constitution which is already in game. needs some minor tweaking, and updating.

Q: Am I right, there is no evolution implemented? It is not possible to evolve from ENT to TNG? Im always restricted to the era i choose at the beginning?
A (Dark Sentinel): You're right. Not possible, not yet, at least. Yes, you're restricted to whatever option you choose.

Q: Is it possble to redock the Prometheus? If yes, how?
A (Nathanius): Redocking the Prometheus: Have the Alpha or Gamma section dock to the Beta section to trigger reintegration

Q: Will you add the invasion gamemode from the original mod?
A (Dark Sentinel): Most probably yes. I believe we disabled Invasion due to map issues so I'd expect it to return.

Q: Is there a time limit to the cloaking of romulan ships?
A (Dark Sentinel): Actually, as far as I know, there's no time limit for cloaking. Dev discussion decided that, quote: "There will be at least one cloak detector per race. Per era. Has to be", endquote, so this issue will be resolved at some point as well.

Q: The Cardassians are just OP.
A (Dark Sentinel): Just let me remind you that balancing is not yet complete and this is beta.

Q: In the invasion gamemode I think you should add the whale probe, doomsday machine, cyristaline entities, and maybe vyger.
A (Dark Sentinel): I believe the team discussed something like that, but in any case that's not a priority now.

Q: Would it be possible to give Construction ships more choice in what they can build?
A (Dark Sentinel): Absolutely most probably no, due to the way the engine handles building. Construction ships are, after all, repair ships, and may be reworked in future. Or not.

Q: STO exclusive ships?
A (Nathanius): I'd say 99% no, there's plenty of canon and fan-favourite ships to go around before getting to those. There are some which are interesting enough for consideration though (i.e. Rom TOS warbird) but people getting to model them for us is always a thing to worry about.

Q: Extra races?
A (Nathanius): It's been said somewhere that anything is possible, and it is, but it all takes time and skills that are not plentiful to make this sort of thing happen. I am right now going through and bringing ships up to scratch for HWR, this should be finished in a few months and then we'll see about bringing in another race.

Q: What's the next extra race then?!
A (Nathanius): It depends, could be the Gorn or the Borg, depends on who's faster :)

Q: Superweapons?
A (Nathanius): The idea to bring these in is in discussion, the Cardies have a canon superweapon after all and we can't let balance between factions be disrupted.

Q: Special Abilities?
A (Nathanius): As special abilities for ships require more time and skill that I posess to create (if they're not stock Homeworld abilities) then they are on the to-do list

Q: Torpedo Spam?
A (Nathanius): We finally have a plan to deal with this! All torpedoes will eventually be changed to single shot with a "volley" becoming a special ability based closely on the torpedo volley attacks that the Kushan and Taiidan Torpedo Destroyers use

Q: Can I help? I can do all of the everything!
A (Nathanius): Where have you been all my life? :D
A (Dark Sentinel): If you're a skilled <add skill here>, you can apply, we're always looking for more people.

Q: Any plan to include the Odyssey/Enterprise F?
A (Nathanius): Not as yet

Q: Also what about <...> Time ship USS Relativity?
A (Dark Sentinel): We don't have plans for it right now. (December 2017)

Q:Have ya'll ever considered making a mod with custom ships? Like ships from like, deviantart or like, just ideas in your mind.
A (Dark Sentinel): Well, let me explain how ships are added.
First way: developer says "I want this ship, period" and it's added, even if we don't need it and even if it's not canon at all.
Second way: when we need some ship to fill in balance role. I believe the priority is "canon > extended canon (like ships from games) > custom ships we pick here and there > our own designs".
So yes, we already have some "custom" ships.

As for now: no idea. When they're ready, probably.

I know they would be (and should be) really over powered, but will we ever have the borg collective as a playable race?

We have plans for the Borg, and will be needing a bit of community feedback to get the balance right. They will be a unique challenge!

ill ask here again, just so those people that ask later dont need to look through all of the mods comments: is its possble to redock the prometheus? if yes, how?

To redock the prometheus, you select the top and bottom sections and tell them to dock to the mid-section, via right clicking on it.

In the original mod, the Borg holding beam was (from what I can tell) just a more powerful version of the cutting beams, will the Borg be able to assimilate ships? (Maybe with a custom texture for the assimilated ships?)

On a side note, will you add the invasion gamemode from the original mod, which was by far my favorite!

Is there a time limit to the cloaking of romulan ships? I just played an AI game against them but I couldn't finish it cause I couldn't find the flagship of the romulans, it would otherwise help I guess when trying to finish a game

They are working on it and definetly yes, I personaly just can not wait for this one.:steamhappy:
edit: not trying to put words in the devs mouths but this was in the classic, not playable in the classic but still in there so I really do think it will eventually be playable. They are working on fixing gameplay issues first I would believe.
