Legendary folks who want to be involved with STO
« on: 20 June 2008 05:22 PM »
It was relayed to me last evening that some legendary folks are 'still' interested in being a part of Star Trek Online.

At this point the list includes:

D.C. Fontana.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0284894/

David Gerrold.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0314775/

Rick Sternbach.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827895/ "Tony (Kinneas), If you can get through to Cryptic (To let them know I'm interested), sure. Go for it. All the best, Rick."

Derek Chester.   http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2365629/
  "I'm representing Dorothy (D.C. Fontana) and can tell you David Gerrold also wants to be involved...all they have to do is call."

Know anyone from Trek who wants to be included...post here and let Cryptic know.

I'm sure Mr. shafted...er Shatner would love to get involved, as would George takai, George has been an active participant in may ST games, so i doubt they'd turn a blind eye to him.

above all else I hop they leave B&B out of it!

if possible i would like to see mike Okuda and his wife join the team aswell, they originally helped PE design some stuff which was said to be great (although PE still chose to go with their own stuff)

YES YES YES! Mike Okuda is a must, and his wife too! Can't agree more!

Now now. Folks this is not speculation on who wants to be involved.   We could name names for weeks.

To post a name you must have spoken to or know for certain that the person you put on the list wants to be involved.

I saw a reply by Ken Henderson to a blog on Elder Game a while back that if contacted Mike Okuda would definitely be interested. For those that don't remember Ken he was the lead art designer for STO back in the beginning of the project and left when Mr. Stinnett basically began 'screwing the pooch' so to speak. Ken was one of the people that worked closest with Mr. Okuda back when he was still involved. I wish I still had the bookmark to the blog but I can't find it so I must have deleted it.  :ugh4:

Speaking of Ken Henderson he probably would get involved if asked as well. He was the one after all that was responsible for those first screenshots that made us all go "WOW" and made us all drool for STO.

Edit: Sorry Kinneas, I read your post above mine after I posted and this is basically all speculation as I have no way to speak to any of these people personally. I still however based on things I've seen Ken Henderson post on other sites (Elder Game mostly) think that both him and Mike Okuda would get involved if asked.

Ken's resume is as awesome as his talent. 

His posts were some of the most inspiring ones posted by anyone at Perpetual.

Maybe we should look into making contact with some of these people whose names have been speculated - so that we can add them to a list of "interested" folks
