Btw, just read this..

Those are the two factions that players can expect to see at launch, but we were told that we could expect to see more soon after launch. He specifically mentioned The Dominion and The Romulan Empire as factions that we will see soon.

Aye.

Only reason I'll be playing Federation is because I like being human, besides a Klingon with the name Pedro doesn't really fit

Well...

Races - Jack tells the crowd that they will be able to choose from a lot of their favorite races: Andorians, Tellerites, Vulcans, Ferengi, etc. Emmert also tells us that players will be able to create their own race.

You may very well be able to play a human type of character, while still on the klingon side.. who knows.

Only humans the Klingons respect are Picard, Riker and Data but then again he isn't human

I like having a strong overall ship than an average ship but with cloaking, after all, I'm an explorer and research type, I'll be doing more flying than fighting, and probably support for the heavy fighter players

Yea I'm kinda the same way.

One thing that raised my curiosity:

The Federation and the Klingon Empire will be competing for influence and resources throughout the galaxy and players can influence the results through PvP battles and a system we're calling Competitive PvE.

I wonder how this will work?

Also, does anyone else get the feeling that this will play like Guild Wars where there are various "hubs" and once you leave that hub the univiers is instanced off from the rest of the server?

There might be pocket universes like EVE had, I didn't mind that. Of course, that's just a guess of mine, they may not have that at all for all I know.

I'm not sure how the competitive pve will handle either.

"When does the game take place?
Approximately 30 years after the events in Star Trek Nemesis. The game starts in 2409. Technology has advanced and the galaxy is a much more volatile place."

I think he means in real time.
