Quick Overview
RPG-X is a roleplaying modification for Raven Software’s Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, first created by a modding group called Ubergames. Ubergames has developed the mod for years, and it is currently on version 2.2. Many different roleplaying groups have used RPG-X as a platform for their Star Trek roleplays over the past few years, and it has become premier Star Trek universe roleplaying game. Unlike other Trek games, such as Star Trek Online, RPG-X puts all the emphasis on you: on what you can create, what you want to do, and how you want to do it. There are no structured missions or predesigned campaigns – you can create anything you like with the power RPG-X gives you, on the fly – no special training or tools needed.
Features
Areas to Explore. RPG-X allows players explore and roleplay in vast areas called ‘maps.’ Maps range from Klingon outposts to Cardassian freighters to massive Federation starships. Ever wanted to explore the bridge of the Enterprise E? Ever dreamed of standing in a Klingon engineering? RPG-X can allow you to do these things and more.
Extensive Customization. Every player has the ability to extensively customize his or her character at any time. Players have the ability to change appearance, race, gender, rank, position, height, weight, name, and apparel at any time. Feel like playing as a Bolian Federation officer? Go ahead! Are you in the mood to play Chief Engineer instead of Chief of Security today? Change your class! Intricate, and intuitive customization will always be at your fingertips.
Interactive Environments. In RPG-X, you can actually interact with the world around you. Most maps have dozens of buttons to press that have many diverse effects. Players can actually bring their ship to red alert, fire weapons, toggle the warp core, use the turbolifts and more on almost all RPG-X maps.
Player Support. RPG-X servers can support up to sixty-four players at once. Some roleplays become so large that the crew mimics a ‘real’ Starfleet ship. You might be an engineer working to replace some isolinear chips while the chief medical officer is having a cup of tea with the commander. Things happen simultaneously between players just as if they were really on a ship!
Think of RPG-X as a massive, customizable sandbox. It’s a tool as much as it is a game, a way of telling your stories in an interactive, exciting new way. If you’re a writer or creator of any kind, you’ll love the freedom RPG-X provides. If you’re a gamer, you’ll enjoy the exhilarating experience of living out what most games can only begin to approach. And best of all, everything is brought to life by you, the player. No purchase necessary, no run-around missions or fetch quests, and no grinding or tedious leveling up – just pure imagination, from your mind to your computer screen.
