Cryptic Studios today posted its responses to a series of fan questions about its upcoming MMO, Star Trek Online. Lead game lead designer Al Rivera and executive producer Craig Zinkievich offered answers on a variety of topics.

In regards to whether or not the game will be considered Canon, Rivera noted that Cryptic is “working with CBS to ensure that everything we create is true to Trek and makes sense.”

When asked if the game's universe will be static, à la World of Warcraft, Zinc suggested that “the actions, victories and defeats of you and your faction will affect how the economy and history of Star Trek Online unfolds.”
