Earlier this month, IGN reporter Charles Onyett got a chance to meet up with Ralf Adam, VP of Production of Gameforge and get some more information about the upcoming browser based game, Star Trek Infinite Space.
Like many online games these days, Infinite Space will be free to play and offer optional purchase options. “There will be many types of items for players to purchase, if they choose,” says Adam. “If you’d like your character to have a unique appearance, you can get many different clothes and other items. If you want to save time, there will be things like XP Boosts to help you progress faster. Let’s say we’re friends playing together but you’re spending twice as much time in the game, leveling up faster. If I want to go on a mission with you, I can buy an XP Boost to close the gap. Ships and systems, however, will always be available to you by playing the game.”
In addition, Ralf added:
“The game is set in the Deep Space Nine timeline. We love this setting, as it gives us so much freedom to tell new stories – the DS9 universe includes everything from DS9, The Next Generation or Voyager and there are even references back to The Original Series (TOS) and Enterprise. Also, the larger main story arc that spans over all seven seasons of DS9 is really inspiring. The Dominion War is an exciting scenario that sparks so many great game situations.”
