But if it's anything like the Battlefield games, I wonder how well it will work. Star Trek Online will give you your crew working together to work a ship experience.

That would still leave players who are interested in taking on such a role with the ability to do so but wouldn't force large amounts of the player base into doing that if they weren't interested.

Part of the problem may be that, even for gunners and pilots, things may get dull- or may result in more interplayer conflict than cooperation. Manning a turret on a starship isn't very fun if the pilot keeps screwing up facing. Naval combat can be a rather dull experience- not the dogfight action of fighter jets, but more ponderous with bursts of adrenaline followed by long lapses of waiting. Sure, it would be fun to many, but we've conditioned gamers to expect so much "instant gratification" over the years that many will tire of it real fast. Still, I'd love to see someone take up the challenge. That about sums up my thoughts on multiplayer ships as well.
