You&#8217;ll see results of your previous actions and even recurring characters later down the line. But seasons don&#8217;t have multiple endings based on your actions in individual episodes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While some episodes are related to the main story, some are not and most can be played without having to have finished another episode first. &#8220;Just like in the TV series, you can miss an episode and still pick up the plot in future stories,&#8221; said the developers. &#8220;Not all of them are related to the main story, and even if they are we try to make sure that they make sense on their own. If you&#8217;ve played through them all you&#8217;ll notice more of the cool connections but it isn&#8217;t necessary. There are very few Episodes that are actually pre-requisites for other episodes and when it happens they are usually back to back like a two-parter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How often will additional seasons or episodes be added? &#8220;One of the great things about making MMOs is that we get to continue supporting and adding to them after launch,&#8221; said the developers. &#8220;Much of what we decide to do for live support will depend on what we find the STO players want more of. Currently we&#8217;re looking at having additional releases every three or four months.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7940\" title=\"120809AskCryptic\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/120809AskCryptic.gif\" alt=\"120809AskCryptic\" width=\"350\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/120809AskCryptic.gif 350w, https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/120809AskCryptic-300x168.gif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new installment of Star Trek: Online&#8216;s Ask Cryptic has been posted, covering episode missions&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2443],"tags":[3001,2482],"class_list":["post-7939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-merchandise","tag-ask-cryptic","tag-star-trek-online"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/merchandise\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Merchandise<\/a>","tag_info":"Merchandise","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7939"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7942,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7939\/revisions\/7942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
