I miss my Ice Trails!

Even if you want to have all the story arcs in order...

Can we please have the Breen storyline unlock at Commander level? I miss having my Breen set, and my ice trails while I fly as I level up!

    I hate the story order. I am a VA still at the dang romulan episodes, so I don't have access to borg space yet. The leveling went WAY too fast to have to be locked into doing the missions in order. I understand why they wanted to do it to force us to try things out, but this is crazy. I have grid doing at least 1 mission a day to keep up. I miss my reman shield, and my borg stuff too.

    I miss having an energy drain ability as a tactical officer, not to mention the bossted power xfer rate.

    D'Angelo said they were fixing that. No eta though.

    Even if they want to force people do do the episodes in order within an arc, they should have the arcs themselves unlock at certain levels, so we always have level appropriate content, regardless of whether we'd completed earlier arcs or not, so Commanders can always get their Reman/Breen gear, Admirals can get to Borg space, etc.

    Thats what they are apperantly fixing. (I just hope they don't keep the breen missions at a lvl 40 mission.)

    I get that they are going for a certain flow and the Orellius sector is where the new endgame content will be centered.

    But I think it would flow better if they made the Breen series a low 31-ish mission chain, preceding the Empok Nor/Terran Empire/Dukat stuff. Then when we go back there at endgame, it's post-Borg.

    I too think that the organization of the Featured Series missions into the story mission hard chain is badly done. Not only do these missions not really fit in with the regular Story missions they are chained to. They take away the ability for low level player to get a taste of the Special Gear that they will be able to get at higher levels.

    Currently if you go through and do only the Story missions (skipping everything else entirely) the player ends up being much higher level than the rewards they are receiving. I am finally about to get to the Reman Featured Series and guess what. I am a Rear Admiral Lower Half 4. Before you know it I will be a VA and will be able to use much better equipment than that Reman shield and those Breen engines. So, I probably won't even be using them for very long at all. Lower level players would have used them during this entire run. Players finally getting them at VA, not so much. Stupid stupid change. Fix it. Change it back.

    All Story missions of a particular story line should be chained together (ie. the Klingon line, the Romulan line, etc.) but they should not be hard chained together so as you are forced to complete one in order to begin the next. And the rewards for these need to be adjusted so that they are something useful for the level at which they are now done.

    Feature Series missions should remain alternative missions that can be done at any time after level 6. Hard chaining them into a series where they don't fit (Devidians in the middle of the Klingon line, really?) does not make them more enjoyable and totally ruins the work that was done to make them level adjustable.

    Also, the Patrol missions, Defend the Sector missions, Exploration missions and their Klingon equivalents need to be looked at and have their rewards adjusted to make them worth doing. As it is currently they are not worth the time and effort that it takes to do them.


    :cool:
