My Vulcan Logic makes me hesitant in asking this, but I must. Will Vulcans be able to be Berserkers, and if so will we have the ability to duel wield.

how many classes/races are there? i was talking to my friends today about everything we knew about the game, deciding we had to pay whatever the monthly charge was, because it sounds so awsome... but all the focus has been on the starfleet side... can we choose other sides for example can we be Romulin/borg etc?

No plans for that for release version. I don't think they want to split up the population and then have to join the constant balancing game of PvP environments. They'll probably put them in for expansion packs, though.

NOOB

Thats not really on, not everyone will have a perfect understanding of Trek, so try and rise above your natural instincts to intimidate others and try to help them.

The idea, whilst in the average sense wouldnt work, it does have slight canon merit, but unfortunatly not to the sense that it would work ingame.

The Vulcan people suffer from Phon Phar, which is very similar to Beserk used in RPG games. Â¿The individual loses control, cannot control their instincts, become very violent (We have seen Tuvok, T'Pol and one other Vulcan on Voyager become violent from its effects) etc. Â¿The reason why it couldnt not be transfered over into the game, in canon, it is every 7 years that the Phon Phar occurs, and to be used as a combat skill, we are looking at every 20 minuetes.

The Duel Weild aspect could also work, YT'Pol spoke of Vulcans mastering martial arts.

Sybok and some Vulcans from Enterprise were emotional. And then there is the logic of violance sometimes.

I don't see where the games developers will be able to control players actions. Obviously a player can choose a Sec/Tac career, like Tuvok, and then do what he wants. I wonder how they will control the players own inclination to act outside of the traditional roles assigned to race?

There are 9 proposed races and 3 careers with Command as an add on. Check out the FAQ topic for more info.

dear brian,

I hope those emotional vulcans from enterprise arent used as a model. Everyone likes the proper Spock-type logical vulcans.
