And now, a special message from Executive Producer, Thomas Marrone!
It’s time to go back... to the Future!
Hello, Captains!
It’s my great privilege to welcome you to Star Trek Online’s latest update: Undiscovered.
One of the surprisingly difficult things to do when developing an update for Star Trek Online is picking its name! We look at dozens of options and try to land on something exciting that also fits the theme. For this release, we chose Undiscovered. Obviously, a nod to my favorite Trek film, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the title Undiscovered celebrates both the past and future of Star Trek and Star Trek Online.
For the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, we wanted to celebrate the past by beginning the revamp of one of STO’s most beloved story arcs. “The Kuvah’magh” marks the opening chapter of this revamp, and we’re starting off with a bang! I am so proud to welcome back to STO both Robert Picardo (The Doctor) and Lisa LoCicero (Miral Paris), alongside a cast of STO favorites you’ll be excited to see again!
While some of the original plot points remain, “The Kuvah’magh” is entirely new from top to bottom. We have totally rewritten and rebuilt the mission to our current storytelling standards, including new scripts, environments, costumes, ships, and cutscenes. We know how much these stories matter to you, and we wanted to make sure that we did them justice while still giving long-time players a fresh experience.
Speaking of the future – I mentioned that Undiscovered is about both the past AND the future. The formula for Star Trek Online’s content has been stable for a while now, and with the Undiscovered release, we felt it was time to try a new type of gameplay. This led to a new take on “Deep Space Encounters.” Originally simple wave battles, with Undiscovered, we rebuilt DSEs as short missions with randomized objectives, enemies, allies, and environments.
Inspired to some degree by STO’s old “Exploration Clusters,” Deep Space Encounters are meant to be a relaxing way to explore the final frontier after a long day, all while earning much-coveted Endeavor XP that will help you power-up every character on your account. I consider this kind of content an important experiment for STO’s future: What can we do to reinforce the feeling of living in the Star Trek universe and being the star of your own Star Trek adventure?
It’s a fascinating question with a million answers, and we hope that you’ll explore that undiscovered country – the future, with us as we all boldly go there together.
