i rather have undine to be playable rather than have the borg on the simple reason called individuality. borg DOESN'T not have lone borgs like seven or huego (dont remember his name). these two were disconnected from the hive mind. I rather play more sensible races that can be usable than the borg. I rather have more klink pve rather than feds since they have enough as is.
Well the Klingon's will have to do with the raiding system and such and the weekly contents for now I guess .
In June they will launch season 4, Well I updated my Fed to VA and Now working on my klingon.
But I have time enough till June I suppose Hahahaha.
But it's not certain I think they didn't put it on calender yet not even testing and such.
Okay, so this is what I was thinking the other day. We all know that the Federation faction is based around Story missions, while the klingons are based on PvP. But I wanted to specifically look at the different mission types availablee to each faction:
FEDERATION:
Story Missions
Patrol Missions
Defense Missions (wandering enemy signal contacts)
Exploration Missions
Fleet Actions
Diplomatic Missions (investigations, relief efforts, and first contacts)
PvP Missions (fight in x number of arenas, capture and holds, or assaults)
War Zone Missions (fight in x number of war zones)
Special Task Force Missions
Featured Missions
KLINGON:
Story Missions
Fleet Actions
Goal Missions (die x number of times, destroy x number of ships, kill x number of people, ect.)
Empire Defense Missions
Sorties
Exploration Missions
PvP Missions (fight in x number of arenas, capture and holds, or assaults)
War Zone Missions (fight in x number of war zones)
Special Task Force Missions
Featured Missions
Then I was thinking, what if the Romulan gameplay (when it comes out) is based on Crafting? I mean, they are always trying to get new Borg or Thaloron weapons, so it makes sense that they would want to craft for more powerful weapons.
This is my idea for what the Romulan missions should look like:
ROMULAN:
Story Missions
Fleet Actions
Exploration Missions
Sorties
Patrol Missions
PvP Missions (fight in x number of arenas, capture and holds, or assaults)
War Zone Missions (fight in x number of war zones)
Reasearch Zone Missions (explained below)
Goal Missions (gain x reasearch skill, find x research material, ect.)
Special Task Force Missions
Now the reasearch zones are like War zones, but they have several anomalies, and the goal is to scan them and escape with the data before the other side.
They don't have featured missions, because some of them are based on them.
What do you guys think?

Okay, so for the fourth faction, the True Way, this is what I thought up:
True Way:
Story Missions
Fleet Actions
Exploration Missions
Sorties
Attack Missions (Attacking, rather than fighting off, enemy signal contacts)
PvP Missions (fight in x number of arenas, capture and holds, or assaults)
Goal Missions (destroy x number of ships, kill x number of people, ect.)
War Zone Missions (fight in x number of war zones)
Quests (Explained below)
In a Quest, you do patrol-like missions with NPC allies that follow you. You start with a certain number of these allies, but as they are destroyed they don't return. You must complete 6 missions straight, and at the end you must fight a dreadnaught (The enemy sector flagship). Hope that you still have enough NPCs at that point to beat it. you must pay EC to go on a quest, but the rewards are great (you do get EC for completing them, and a LOT of Merits/Honor, as well as amounts of SP and Boff SP appropriate for 6 missions. Oh, and the Klingons would also have access to quests.
Its a shame babylon 5 never recieved much love game wise.. Most indie titles that were made were lack lusters.
I do agree though the Iconians lack the charm of the Mr Morden or even Londo the centauri puppet...
You make some good points I agree with you though the whole A to A aspect of trek episodes was especially if you missed an episode I found with babylon 5 if you missed one episode you were sort of screwed as to what was going on. Since it had an A B C formula. Also trek has interesting villians.
Ah babylon 5 was a good show. You got it all wrong. what prove do you have that is the iconians behide the wars. for all we know it could be their servant who want to be come master just like it was with in babylon 5 with the drakh after the shadows decided to leave the galaxy to join the other First Ones. we never know much about what happen to the iconians during their war when the left our part of space. so the charm that you are looking for well, let just say no show can have such charms as Londo Mollari, G'kar or any other B5 main charactors.
Sorry for the copy but I liked your input here .
Next time I will ask premission But I thought You don't mind as long as I don't change a bit .
So I did !
I'm a star fleet officer weird is part off the job ant Katy said once.
Well to be true I lost the connection here.....
Klingon's :
Klingon's and Federation are at war well not completely because they work to gather in Borg territory.
With the breen they keep a distance from each other .
So are they at war or is there some sort off truce going on. Like if you fire at me I'll fight back.
Romulans :
Their empire was already chaos with the destruction of their home world .
But there is not a cease fire here every mission I play I fight them.
Just could be me but my captain is an diplomatic men so .
I thought federation was about first we talk then we try to talk again, And if that really doest help we destroy you or it or what ever.
Cardesians :
Well after the war they where plunged in chaos....
Some are good some are bad like the true way.
But instead of flying cardies there are an lot mirror feds there.
So even after closing that damn portal there where a lot mirror feds.
And as even as I fight there I think why am I fighting Mirror Feds while I should go after the True Way.
Doesn't make sense to me.
It's all kind off weird do .
But what I also don't understand why there are factions off Klingon's in the Sirius Sector and if you are a Klingon you can't go there . I find that strange because from what I have learned from star trek universe.
If there is war you can cross borders . Except if you have an truce going on where is stated that no faction will cross each others border.
For the Future :
1. I hope Cryptic will put in diploma-tie into both races .
2. When you solve a fight diplomatic you will earn more XP then when you fight .
3. Shifting ground map like romulans siege a planet and you have to take it back or someone else.
4. Take over an Space station or something else.
5. As an fleet admiral you can wage war or make peace.
6. More Bridge interaction and spoken sound would be nice LESS Reading.
7. If needed bigger away teams and contact with team members .
Contact With team Members Description :
Like in Star Trek Hidden Evil where you can contact everyone for guidance if needed.
Also something where you can contact Quin to ask for support and on Klingon side that would be J'Pok .
And when you do there goes an timer when they arrive to your location . And don't leave until the mission is complete.
8. When you do make an successful first contact they get automatically a place on the map and if needed you have to give them support or supplies.
9. Cargo missions all these Klingon worlds and Federation worlds need supplies .
10. I hope they going to add Gamma and Delta Quadrant in chart with the species there.
11. PLEASE do not let the romulans make an alliance with Klingon's just because they drink each other blood. Well known true all games and series.
12. END
I think they should open Cardesia for the Klingon's as well !!!
1. Open Cardesia space to the Klingon's
2. Open Signal contacts to the Klingon's
3. If they want the war raging on they should make more assault missions possible
4. What the heck is romulans doing in Klingon space
5. More SP in the beginning even the feds have more in the beginning
1. Begin missions some more SP points and after captain less SP points it Takes far to long to be an captain far to quick to get to admiral.
2. more missions in Borg space please
Sorry for the copy but I liked your input here .

I have borg and undine ones up now too. I didn't gie the Borg many mission types, because they really don't do much as individuals.
Some things that won't be up there for a while will be Devidian, Ferengi, and Iconian. I might do a breen one tommorow though.
