Social Areas

I would like to know what are some more social areas in the game of STO?

SO far I know from the Federation side is: Earth Spacedock, K-7, Deep Space 9, and maybe Memory Alpha. What are some other areas that you know of?


Also, does anyone seem to notice how empty Bajor seems to be in the game? I know there are a lot of NPCs there but Bajor seems like it should be a popular place.

Edit: Oops I guess this should go in the Academy if this is a noob question.

    You pretty much hit all of them. All of the major space ports, plus the Academy. What makes a zone a "social" zone is ease of access there and the ablity to do routine useful things there, such as bank, shop for gear, upgrade your ship and captain, ect.

    Bajor is relatively empty because it was only used in one Featured Episode. After that, there was no reason to go there except to smell the flowers, especially since DS9 is one click away, and has more features.

    ESD is the catchall drawer of the social zones, and is also the starter zone for the Fed. K-7 is mostly for PVPers and now for the fleeties using it, however, tends to be fairly quiet. DS9 is the endgame and cross faction social zone, and tends to be full of people ******** about failed optionals in Elite STFs and noob ships.

    And Drozana station... Don't go there without protection, and I don't mean your phaser ;)

    Protection, as in you know full well how to ignore people and turn off the Fire Suppressor Visual fx. Your ignore list will grow rapidly from going there and dealing with fed players.

    Go to Risa which is where most go to relax.

    There are lots of social zones in game. The Problem is that there is nothing to do in most of them. DS9 has the stf store, ESD/Qonos has the boff trainers and the academies have the lore missions. With transwarp point at DS9 and Sol there is no real reason to go anywhere else. If you have a d'kora/Tufli Freighter/azura comm device you rarely need to go to dock.

    Yes, the Captain's Table, that's always empty. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
