I May get Flamed for this: But I am getting Tired of the Ranting

Anyone who knows Levi3 and my Bi-polar posts - I flip from pro-cryptic to anti-Cryptic sometimes daily - should know that if I have got tired of the ranting going on then it's become too much.
The forums are active now - but I have been here on the days when you could hear a pin drop and would post things just to try to keep the community alive - some might have liked it, others not.
Instead of talking about what they are doing - why don't we try to come up with some civil ideas of small things that they could implement to offset some of the new changes?
I would like to see the ability to buy more doff space - maybe an expansion to 600 slots
I would like to see an increase in the refinement cap - perhaps to 10k per day
I would like to see them allow fleets to make some customization options to starbases - like fleet flags, a big holo-emblem of you fleet badge inside and something on the exterior.
So what about you guys?

I will rant until I can no longer rant from sheer exhaustion from the ranting!!
Know why?
Because it makes me feel better about situations where I know my input is either ignored or dismissed.
Or, if you prefer, I will rant because its working as intended....
Come on Bogle - I know you can do better that this. I am sure you have some ideas that are helpful yet simple to implement.
Sorry, thats unrealistic. Unless a random bajillionaire star trek fan takes over, that isn't going to happen. Companies exist because they care about the bottom line.
Charities don't run MMO's.
Sure I do, but ranting is more fun.
And I own stock in a pitchforks-and-torches supply company.
The random bajillionaire star trek fan is also acceptable.
Or all those guys from Bioware that ran away from TOR.
Increased doff space and raising the refining cap have been proposed by people on the forums since shortly after the doff system was introduced.
Sorry to say this, but what this game needs is territory control incorporated into the Starbases, not holo fleet flags. Also, it could use some better exploration. It's too linear. No decision you make on a mission impacts the experience of another user or has any real impact on actions you will be taking in the future.
Another thing I thought was that a starbase could orbit a planet where the fleet could run activities, missions, build things - etc.
Rather than just stuck out in space somewhere.
Heck I actually posted a request for this in the cstore forum just yesterday. :P

Yes the new embassy holding progression allows for a few more doff assignment slots for each tier
I'm looking for something I can just buy in the store.
Unfortunately not at current - but not too long ago Dan said no to any increase - so it is progressing at least - perhaps after the embassy thing takes hold they may open them up to purchase.
oh well, hopes raised and crushed again, naturally.
levi3 i think you may be onto something there my friend.......
i think that is a fantastic idea about orbiting ones starbase around a planet or small moon.
that way your idea about missions to the planet or moon in question would be a great idea.
maybe some sort of advanced duty officer assignments where you can further advance your doff skills.
a bit like the Bajor mission would be great, but like i said in a previous post, it may fall on deaf ears.
apart from that it would be a great addition to the starbase daily activities.
i tend to agree with you on the point that the starbase is just sitting their in space doing nothing more that collecting dust.
also another great idea i just thought of would be every now and then your starbase would come under attack from say the klingons/romulans or another foe, then you would have say a notification like when the borg are in the area and you would be given the choice to fly back and assist with the defence of your starbase, that would be awsome, some form of interaction for the player and the members of the fleet to get involved.
just think what great ideas could span from this.......endless options
We are not going to protest?
R.I.P
missed you roach - have not checked the KDF forums in awhile - guess that's where you have been hiding.
Of course most Long-time KDF players have given up ranting as they know how much good it does to change things.
I have pitchforks and torches. Really.
Not afriad to use them.
Hell we can't even get a single new story mission. All we get is adventure zones to grind away at. Its starting to feel pointless.
Ha. Yeah. Not sure its terribly smart from a dev career standpoint to troll the paying customers, but you have to admit he has some cajones for doing it.
On the one hand, I feel a little upset that he marginalized the forum posters, but on the other hand I kinda like how he did it.
I am sorry you fail! You want to know why? No you don't but I will tell you anyway.
More that half the time I don't know what I am thinking, saying, or feelling - so it would negate most of you claims - I think - not totally sure though:eek:
Edited - for massive grammer faults - cause I don't knows what I am typing either:eek:
Like most captain's in Star trek...I think you've finally snapped.
Finally? you should have been there 8 years ago when the let me out of the Mental facility for felons! Now it's too late!
I was hoping to have things discussing specific STO changes that could be made - which would make this the place for it - but you know how people can high-jack a thread.
These forums were full of ideas, most since before open beta. The problem is Cryptic has never honestly taken anything suggested here to heart. They read what may be posted, and then dismiss the idea for whatever reason. It is a shame really, if they had listened, this game would still have the launch numbers, be a monthly based model, making money hand over fist, and have more than the terribly small staff they have, which cant even keep up with bugs, let alone new content.
So if your mad, or bipolar, or whatever you claim, dont direct it at the player base, they HAVE given well thought out fixes but have been ignored since closed Beta. Blame Cryptic, and their claims at how they do oh so much without a huge staff.
ALL HOLDINGS FINISHED! - Starbase 5-5-5-5 || Embassy 3-3-3 || Mine 3-3-3 || Spire 3-3-3
