Will everyone have to be in starfleet, because i'm sure some people wouldnt want to wear the uniform so to speak. You know, be a citizen of Earth (or other federation planets). I mean, i would probably be in Starfleet, but for those who wouldn't. thanks!

As of this time it appears everyone is in Starfleet. This is judging by the FAQ: | Quote | How will characters advance and grow?
Characters will gain skills and rank by completing missions assigned by Starfleet command or by otherwise advancing the needs of Starfleet. |
That's not to say it won't change. The game is in extremely early planning stages. |

well, there has to be someone on the planets, right? there should be special abilities, or even special ships (like characters own personal ships).

Starfleet personnel can work on planets. I wouldn't think you have to be on a ship if you don't want to. Not sure about people having personal ships.
It's all up in the air at this point.

Well, research/administration is out of the question, which is what I envision a good portion of planet-based starfleet doing.
You COULD do missions on a planet, I suppose, but I personally could not imagine anything more boring =P If I wanted that, I'd go play DAoC some more.
Yeah, my whole idea for a dynamic mission generator would work for this as well. It would just eliminate the whole portion of the missions that includes starships. Probably would have to seperate them into three sections. Planetary, shuttle and starship missions. Obviously one would not chart a nebulae in a shuttle, nor would a starship be required for a planetary mission in which your post is on (or in orbit of).
I could see the possibility of non-starfleet players having their own mission sets, which they would probably do for money (latinum). I don't see the allure, personally, but that's not the point.

I think we might see other groups besides Starfleet in later expansions. I personally don't care; I plan to be in Starfleet.

i plan to be in Starfleet too, but whenever you are protecting the planets, i would hope there would be something to protect instead of just A.I.

Section 31 would be a fun organization to be a part of, but I think they are the SW:G equivalent of Jedi....
if they are available, everyone will want to be one...
so, my vote is no to section 31.

I do want to be a part of Starfleet but i would LOVE to be in the Maquis, Fly your own ship with a small crew like 2 or 3 people, Going and doing what i want, But with-holding a high sense of Moral, plus i could find a Starfleet Vessel and fly along with them and give them a helping hand, i would love to do that.

Why not make Section-31 similar to the 'real thing' ? Only those who are 'in' know about it's in-game existence, the only way to join is by being 'asked' by one of those already in after they have very good reason to believe you're section-material. Should you decline the offer, well, you die for knowing too much. That'd be good for the rumour machine, make it hard to get into Section-31, and would keep it interesting to be in it. Of course, Section-31 gets elitist missions from Starfleet that others can't even imagine...
