Captains on PC will soon have a new Campaign to send their ships on - not for exploration or glory, but cold hard profits.

So... A rehash of the KDF Admiralty Campaign with something extra thrown in?
A possible hint as to a new faction?
Idea... Have some of the random items it gives be Lobi or GPL. Make it more worth the while to do the campaigns.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
What I hope is a revamp of the Latinum store, because so far, most of the items are mostly useless AND on a timer.
Also, I dunno how to feel about the Tour of Duty granting the same reward as the KDF ToD. More Dil is always good (except for the Zen-Dil exchange ratio until a Phoenix Box event arrives to clean the saturation), but I'd have expected and welcome something to distinguish both campaigns, like less Dil but 5,000,000 EC per account per day for example.
I think however this means there is no point whatsoever in running the Romulan campaign. Two ways to get Dilthium, one way to get Spec points. The few upgrade tokens are really not worth it.
I'm honestly glad it wasn't EC. I could do with less EC inflation.
I want them to do something like the Legacy of Romulus expansion but with the Alpha Quadrant races. Possibly either a Detapa Union or an Alpha Union. Cardassians, Bajorans, Ferengi and rogue Jem'Hadar and Vorta.(though the Vorta would still love The Dominion, they have their own rationalization for joining this faction)
Maybe link it all to the Time-Travel arc we've been having, like how Legacy of Romulus was linked to the Iconians. Have the Na'khul and the Terran Empire trying to covertly take over this new union from within and give us more on the True Way. Would be nice to have more stuff on the Ferengi too.
As long as the admirality active projects slots are not suplemented or made non-shared you can basicaly do the same ammounts of projects. Why would you pick new one that shares dil rewards with gpl when gpl is usseless ?
Also without a basic AUTOFILL system the admirality is a damn clickfest. I do lots of damn cliks at work. Many good things happened is sto lately maybe its time for such a upgrade.
If projects slots are not suplimented, made non-shared or a autofill system is not implemented adding a new campaign is just a timegate/clickgate trap. Nothing of real practical value...
As long as it takes to get to Admiralty level 10, I think that wouldn't be worth the run. Now, if you did a sliding scale of Lobi rewards per level (i.e. - 10 Lobi at ToD 1, 20 at ToD 2, etc), then it would be worth the grind without making the rewards obnoxiously huge. Plus, it would be a way for someone to get Lobi directly instead of grinding out Dilithium to get Zen (or grinding EC) to buy keys to open lockboxes.

Those are more like special rewards for indulging in things at least vaguely related to spending money. For example, you mainly get them from lockboxes, which you need keys to open. It'd be sort of like having Zen as an Admiralty reward...
Thats like 20-25 keys worth of Lobi. Way too much.
Some variety in the admiralties would have been nice, but i cannot think of an unique and actually useful reward at this time.
Exactly! As i said before, no active slots supliments/unshare and no autofill ... with same or less rewards ...
Who asked for this? Seriously, which STO players decided to plant their flag on the battlefield of "Not enough ways to get Gold-Pressed Latinum!"
JUST what we needed.
It's no hint...no sir-ee! It's a definitive new Admiralty Card system! This one, Ferengi based! Enjoy!
