What else is coming now that S6 is here?

We have a Starbase (fleet doff system & resource sink), a couple of fleet missions, some Tholians to shoot at on Nukara Prime, some updated UI icons ...

Surely this can't be it ... :confused:

    That's the thing about Seasons ;) They're never officially 'over' until the next season comes out

    And considering a new season takes roughly 6 months to release, there's plenty more to come. And I say roughly because the date isn't fixed till things have been finalized on the dev's end.
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    I agree the amount of content being released is pitiful, and the stuff they do release only brings new bugs to the rest of the game which was totally unrelated to the content added in the first place.

    Le'sigh.

    Don't get me wrong, the new content is good, but the dust has settle pretty quickly with this release. But there has to be a bit more to do ...
    • You contribute to a Starbase projects if you're quick enough, then wait for 12 hours and do nothing.
    • I've participated in a couple of 20man Starbase Defence - fun for 10min
    • Killed 1,000 Tholians to pick up that accolade (no point returning unless the fleet merit event is running) now.

    I'm passing the time trying to tick off a few left over Red Alerts now.

    I'm sure there is more, but without a couple of leaks it feels like that's it.

    Well, they invented an entire new game mechanic, added a new Invasion Zone, and gave us some fleet event maps to play around in. For a team the size of Cryptic, that is no small accomplishment.

    My understanding is Season 7 is all about new content.

    That's because we all realize that it really is going to take us 7 months to complete everything. And most of the fleet actions I;ve been trying, they;ve turned into fails due to lag or lack of communication. I don;t even do the protect the freighter one anymore as there's no point. Last time I did, we saved one. By the time I got in position, the freighter had already blown.

    I think that is because we all realize that we got the full experience of the season 6 which is all about new content.. in 1 day. There is pretty much nothing left but mindless grinding. To bad botting is illegal or we could have just as much fun running a bot over night as we would playing the stuff manually for the next 5,000 hours.

    again, it depends on your team. I ran mine with some relatively green recruits from my fleet, we got out with 14. Did one with a half pug and got 21. So just like STFs before, it depends on who you play with.

    As for the OPs point. I am sure that new contend will trickle in throughout the months. And yes, this was a LOT of new content when it comes to the size of cryptic's team.

    Stories will come. Until then.. improvise ;)

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect much of anything else. From what I've seen/read there won't be anything possibly remotely interesting for me until season 7.

    Don't get me wrong, the new content is good, but the dust has settle pretty quickly with this release.

    I think the reason is, that we all knew what exactly was coming- there's nothing new left to be discovered by coincidence or by surprise because all possible news-posts/blogs/podcasts already delivered spoilers for everything. The few not-yet mentioned small-details were to be discovered in minutes... :(

    However, the last season was getting more content with time as well - why not this one?

    I like the new content so far, and I see a lot of potential for more good stuff.

    I'm pretty pleased with the S6 release so far. Probably the best economy rebalance we've had yet. I'd love to see a chart of "average [energy credit/expertise] balance per active player by day" going from pre-S6 to post-S6. A whole lot of items now have a whole lot of worth.

    Wow, so many people act like spoiled kids. Just like when rich kids get a new Lexus and they whine about not getting a BMW.
    We are getting new content at the pace that the Cryptic team can give us. They know that more content means more money so they are going to give us content when they can.
    Just relax and enjoy the ride and stop expecting so much all the time.
    Thank you, Cryptic, and know that a lot of us are more reasonable and patient.

    It was old before the first day. Most got tired of them grinding a tier 1 base on tribble.

    i dont care who they are but i agree with them. Season 6 hasnt even been up for a week yet and if people are already looking for something else then they need to expect less. we have to remember that although on a visual appearance fleet starbases may not seem like much but its a whole new game system. more will come you have to remember this is only the start of the Tholians story line we have a whole new sector of space opening up this season so i think everyone should just cool the hell down and go and smash some tholians or go back to attacking the Borg

    The new sector is coming in S7, which will probably be next year.
