Note: This blog contains the same Developer Diary that was posted over at Massively.com yesterday and serves as the first entry of the Season 6: Under Siege" Dev Blog series.
Here are a few more screens of Federation Starbases that we thought we'd share
the blog seems to be the same stuff as what was reported on massivly so not much to get excited about this time.
but is under siege our season 6 title and when can i unlock steven segal?
ROFL... There are Two to Unlock One with a Fake Russian Accent and the other is with the Fake Southern Accent But they both come with Kung-Fu Action Grips.
BTW tho it is the same exact thing... Copy and Paste my friends

As already mentioned, it is the same information from the Massively.com article and is serving as the beginning of the S6 Dev Blog posts.
So basically, Massively was given the exclusive on this article prior to sharing it here? I'm not horrified by that. I just don't recall Dev Blogs having been addressed that way before.

This was worthless. It's fine that you are providing the information, but when the news article right below this one points to the exact same thing, pics and all, was it really necessary?
You know, if STO had a gameplay style similar to Eve. Starbases would be that much more involved into the game. Given STO's small playerbase and how much area can be used along the borders of federation and klingon space. A Fleet can setup a base in anywhere in their respectively territories. With mining spots and exploration zones nearby to be used. While in a PvP effect, opposite factions can raid and assault starbases inflicting damage, reducing resource collection and design advancement on starships.
Ofcourse, we are stuck with a flight similater with a one button attack (give or take).
Ship equipment should of had more stat involvement, including speed, innertia, effects on structural etc, and improving on these designs could of been done on such starbases, aswell as gathering resources to create more starships. But again that is an impossibility as STO's features are too limited to expand and while I am a startrek fan, and only played eve for a few months a year ago, Eve Trumps STO in so many ways.
iT Would be really nice if we player can vote for Design of FleetStarBases,and evry tier t hae more Dsigns,so not all bases are the same,for Exampl:Tier 1:Type1 , Type2 , Type3. . .like we have for ships. . .
Under Siege, heh. Wonder if that's how the Devs are feeling.
ROFL... No doubt but uh I would hope that with a title like that... that some major content like playable non time gated content will be coming our way... My working theory is that the raining of lockboxes will keep us at bay as our new main villain that we have to discard at alarming new rates...
Wonders if starbases can have a fleet icon on its hull and also patterns like ships have in ship editor screen and able to use colors to make their stations more unique and one of a kind.
I wonder if the tier 1 Klingon on will look like a futuristic Tampon too?? lol
seriously thou I think they're not bad looking, just hope eventually we can tough them up some as far as looks later on. After all this isn't the peace loving, tree hugging hippie Federation it used to be. I see cylindrical storage pods and instantly think click click boom.
I just really hope the system programmers don't totally TRIBBLE these up and make them Elitist Fleet friendly only.
Hope you can properly dock. I loved docking my ships in x-beyond the frontier and x2 games by egosoft. That realism was nice and not found many places.

Branflakes im sorry this being the offical game forum we kinda expect something more in the terms of information not just copy and pasted information from another source . which is old news . we kinda deserve some sort exclusive information on top of the normal PR .

no disrespect but the Massively article shouldn't of gone out than. it feels like a major publication like the New York Times running a story that was exclusively in a tabloid rag like Weekly World News. STO forums being the major publication.
I'm looking forward to season six, heck I'm looking to season sixteen... but one would think official things like this should be Exclusive to the STO forums and let the out side news outlets report on the announcements and form their own responses to the information relayed.
love all you do for us and keep up your head up high

Oh come on people... Not everyone reads this forum.
The article went on the main page. Instead of saying "old news" think of the whole situation as a unique opportunity you were given - reading an article before most of other people.
Geez KDF enough already everything that comes out you say you want an kligion one. suppose they issue a new lockbox what then you what a KDF lockbox. the KDF whining for everything is getting sad give it a rest

How would you feel if your favorite part of the game was always given back seat to the mass consuming majority?
The way I look at it, fed gameplay is just an extended tutorial to get you ready for the real game, Klingon Online.

Realy, W0W .... First off you expect us to belive this? The original post was on Massivly first then cut and pasted here. We expect better from all of Cryptic. All the tight lips I mean posts non exsitance since Tron"s statement was blown way out of proportion at Massivly, the Dev's not showing up in game at all and zero response to direct inquiries from Fleet Leaders. Leading us along like fish on a hook we had enough of a long time ago.
My expectations as well of alot of "long term" players is low and rightfully so. We have learned not to trust what we hear and less of what we read, due to the lack of Real Involvement from the departments at Cryptic. We want and plead for Real Community Involvement and untill it become a common place and we the Fans are treated as we matter ,because thats why you have a job, realy wow Cryptic needs to do way better than this.

I want those too. While I don't see any info on KDF starbases, there is this bad feeling that just doesn't go way...

iThink that KDF do not have StarBases (iN ST series).
I'll take a bare chested Orion jumping out of a Birthday cake!!!
I have no need for a cross dressing Gary Bussey.
