Stargate Worlds Game Overview

Stargate Worlds Archetypes ( Character Classes )

• Stargate Worlds Archaeologist

  The Archaeologist will specialize in ancient cultures and languages. They will be able to 'blend in with the locals' to gather intelligence or ambush the enemy. It is likely that the archaeologist will also be able to engage in diplomacy, something discussed by the developers previously. Archaeologists can also be quite adept in aggro management, perhaps by being superb negotiators or good at hiding, making them good solo characters, in addition to their ability to solve puzzles that are currently slated to be in the form of minigames. In addition to using their diplomatic abilities in PvE situations, they may also be able to use them to their advantage in PvP interactions, although how this will work is unknown.
  
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Asgard

  While physically frail, the Asgard are masters of technology and will have a strong science ability. They depend on drone technology to survive and thrive. By calling upon different types of drones to attack, defend, heal, or analyze, the Asgard becomes a true jack-of-all-trades. When faced with dire circumstances, the Asgard can also bring in their mighty starships to devastate the enemy with orbital bombardments in the form of a special attack. By being able to fit into a number of different roles, it is likely the Asgard will choose their class by specializing in a different type of drone technology. The Asgard will be a faction-specific class, thus there will not be any "evil" Asgard.
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Goa'uld

  The Goa'uld will not be more powerful than other players in the game. The Goa'uld will gain much of their power from their servants. With the ability to command several different types of minions, the Goa'uld can become almost as versatile as the Asgard. These minions will include Jaffa and possibly human servants. In addition to their minions, Goa'uld also have access to poisons that can be used to cripple enemies. They can also specialize in Ashrak technologies, such as phase cloaking, becoming masters of stealthy attacks. As the evil counterparts to the Asgard, the Goa'uld may be able to call in their Ha'tak motherships to bombard the enemy as a special attack. The Goa'uld character will be the symbiote, and players will, at times and at a "cost", be able to choose to enter a new host. However player Goa'uld will not be able to take over other players' hosts.
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Jaffa

  The Jaffa in the game are much like the Jaffa in the show. In addition to its devastating ranged attack, the Jaffa staff weapon can also be used in melee combat. Displaying solidarity and teamwork, Jaffa can use their oaths to strengthen their allies, especially other Jaffa. With their physical strength, Jaffa are highly resistant to special attacks and can continue fighting even when injured.
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Scientist

  Being a combination of pure scientist and engineer. Scientists can specialize in analyzing, repairing, and using technologies. They can also use new technologies to craft personal upgrades. Their battlefield utility comes from the ability to construct devices such as gun turrets, shields, and target inhibitors. They can also specialize in healing and resurrection technology. Like the archaeologist, the scientist can also solve puzzles, but of a technological nature. These puzzles will be in the form of minigames.
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Soldier

  The Soldier is valuable for protection when stepping through the stargate. With the ability to specialize in a variety of weapons, including grenades, automatic weapons, machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers, their job is to unleash firepower on enemies. With additional training, they can also learn basic healing, how to use alien weaponry, and lead teams. The Soldier will be able to specialize in Command, Automatic Weapons, and Heavy Weapons. Command skills will allow the player limited use of healing technologies and skills to increase team performance. Heavy and Automatic Weapons skills will increase a player's performance with each of these weapons classes.
  
  

• Stargate Worlds Commando

  By giving up access to the variety of weapons a Soldier uses, a Commando gains access to stealth, demolitions, and the sniper rifle. The Commando can disrupt, confuse, and neutralize enemies. In addition to being able to stealth, Commandos also have technology to detect stealthed enemies. The Commando will be at least one of the archetypes able to deploy and detect traps, making them a valuable member of any team planning an ambush.

• Stargate Atlantis - The first expansion is planned as Stargate Atlantis. Atlantis and the Pegasus Galaxy present much additional content, with all five seasons worth aired by the time of the game's release.
