The original Perpetual idea of being a starfleet member who could in theory join a "crew" (guild) and help pilot a starship was a rather good one.

However... what happens to the ship when the bridge crew are all afk or asleep? Does someone usurp control? Does everyone just grind the holodeck?

Given the recent move in Cryptic to get away from enforced teaming and given the popularity of Eve, I'd be surprised if we weren't given personal starships up to a certain size to fly solo.

While I agree Star Trek is about community and working together, much like MMO's, does the mechanic of crewing and operating a ship lend itself easily to an MMO?
I have doubts.
