Cryptic Studios have posted their first "Meet the Team" interview segment with Star Trek Online's Lead Designer, Al Rivera.

The section reveals some new information about the games space combat system:

Space combat is nothing like typical MMO combat, nor is it a dogfighter. It is deeply tactical, strategic and 100 percent Trek. Shield facing, turn rates, weapon firing arcs, power transfers, bridge officer skills, ship configurations and damage control are all things you will need to manage.

We also learn about Mr Rivera himself with a bunch of personal information, which makes this interview well worth a read - check it out at http://www.startrekonline.com/articles/meet_al_lead_designer_for_star_trek_online
