hey Devs, why not lock out DS9?

Simply put, why are we allowed to go to DS9 after we do the new featured episode?

You could lock it out for players that did the mission...
and create a STF vendor in Battlegroup Omega...

    Since many people need to go there for many different Missions locking it out would just cause them grief - especially since the FE will require 5 weeks of play.

    then how would you do the replay??? and DS9 is a pivotal part of the Fed campaign.

    yeah, but I agree it is kinda immersion breaking to be able to beam back down to the station after the *spoiler* Dominion take over *spoiler* maybe it could have been coded to lock you out if you have the first mission completed but unlock it when we inevitably get the station back. I for one am going to just fall back to K7 until we retake it, just for immersion sake. There's nothing at DS9 that I really need right now anyway.

    But again, your character will continue to be played those 5 weeks. What if you get to a Mission where you need to go to DS9 but can't because you're locked out? Are you just supposed to abandon playing the character for 5 weeks? The better thing to do would just be to not play the FE until all 5 parts are out and you can do it all at one time.

    What if there are some commodities at DS9 you want to buy? What if you want to check it for Duty Officer Missions? What if you want to play a Foundry mission that starts there, or involves the station? What if you want to help a newbie with a mission that takes place at DS9? What if you want to replay an older mission that involves you stopping at DS9 to pick up some cargo? What if you just want to show off the station and the wormhole to some Trek loving friends who don't currently play?

    The devs would get so much hate if they did this.

    I for one will just pretend DS9 is inaccessible, and not go there. :)

    That is the best option. If they lockout DS9, even for one day, they would get so much hate mail. It is just not worth the trouble.
