What would make you "return" to STO PvP?

As simple as what the title says.
For me:
Complete rebalance of powers
Quality control
Customer engagement
Grind reduction
For me, doing the above properly will remedy all the main things that made me cancel my sub.

Return to 1.2 and make all them <insert OP comsole here< only equippable on the native ship.

Yeah, we told them that making special consoles truly universal was a bad idea. They didn't listen.
This one change/reversion would be enough to bring me back full time. Stacked console abilities are the main source of reduced fun for me.
So, instead of:
1) Queue up for Arena/Capture wait 5-10 minutes.
2) Play the "insane dps glass cannons" vs "unkillable cruiser tanks" song and dance for effing EVER until whatever goal is reached.
3) Rinse and repeat THREE TIMES, collect 1,400 dilithium.
I'm suggesting either increase the reward, or chop it up into pieces so you get a little bit after every match, not just groups of 3.
Long live the Allmighty God all US game companies worships: The dollar.
So sad that what actually keeps players in the game must take the backseat.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Two things:
A) Much like the "discount" being offered on some of the new Fleet ships over on Tribble, they could have revamped the other ships to work in a similar fashion. As they introduce refits, retrofits, fleet variants, etc, etc, etc - the earlier tier version's price could be incorporated as a "discount/voucher" applied to the higher tier.
Those are just two things that they could have done, imo, that would have generated increased revenue... rather than driving players from the game.
Then give each ship a "special" console slot. So you can still use your purchased free ability, but can't stack them.
edit: there are also fleet retrofit versions of a lot of those ships now. They should be able to use the consoles of their lower tier counterparts. That would also solve the problem and keep the c-store ships attractive.
There is always some hope.
Ilhank, we may return if positive changes are made to PvP
New types of PvP over cap and hold and arena play, capture the bacon, Asset destruction, SOMETHING.
Open PvP zone with a story line driven by faction success.
Balance, balance and more fraggging BALANCE. I mean shinies are great and all but for craps sake every new shiney thing only makes it that much more difficult to balance. I flew in PvP for the first time since season 7 launched last night. I flew a Peghqu, I felt guilty and dirty when I was done. Maybe if I yank the transformers console I would not feel such a need to take a shower. Still even with the console gone is a raptor/bop with a BC and good turn rate. Did I mention balance?
Removal of the PVE component/Grind in order to get PVP Gear and allowing PVP To actually gain it's own gear.
A balance pass of Skill to Boff relationships.
A Balance check between Skills, Boffs vs Console related powers
More PVP Map options.
Ground:
Removal of the PVE component/Grind in order to get PVP Gear and allowing PVP To actually gain it's own gear.
A Rebalance of the skills/Kit interractions between each class.
A better incentive to use FPS Mode, such as Debuffs given to the enemy when you hit them in specific Dummy Doll Locations (Head shots could equate to a free Exploit, Leg shots slow, Arm shots penalty to damage or acc, Chest shot could "Stun" you for a moment)
More PVP Map options.
Think about this:

I'll play STO on occasion when I get the urge. I can't really leave anyway since I'm on an LTS.
There's other games that aren't mech games to play.
And less one-shot on ground maybe.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
- a reputation system which recognized kills as well as heals, assists and concessions.
- pvp gear hierarchy with pvp only stats.
- pvp only abilities (maybe.. not a big thing for me though)
- territory control through the fleet system.
- random queue system, no access to individual map types except via private queue
- pvp INSIDE pve missions and sectors
With all that, I would maybe consider re-trying.
For the game to be fun again.
There was a time that PvP was my reason for signing on. There is just some much that needs to be done and so little hope... How can we really hope to get more people into PvP that is in this current condition?
It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.
By my count, there are exactly three space PvP missions available that have something to do with fighting enemy players directly. There's the Ship Killer mission against the Federation, the mission where you have to be killed by enemy players 25 times, and the Ship Killer mission against Klingons (which doesn't really happen unless you go to boring ol' N'Vak). That's it. On a busy day in Ker'rat, I can finish the Ship Killer against Feds mission in 30 minutes or less (10 kills). The 25 deaths one can take forever, unless you just sit around and let people kill you (which is boring, and hardly qualifies as PvP).
There is a mission that can be completed by hanging out in Ker'rat and waiting out three resets (Good Luck Charm), and there's another one that can be finished by killing 50 Borg ships. All in all, if I can do all of these missions in a single day, I might net 2-3k dilithium. There's also ZERO guarantee that those missions will make themselves available the following day, as they seem to operate on an unlisted availability rotation (do it, cooldown is 18 hours, and they might only be available in 1-2 windows during the week). I have yet to figure out what the schedule is.
Half the time I'm PvPing for no rewards, just for fun. I'm not getting dilithium, and at most I might get a few paltry credits from Borg salvage, or from Arena/C&H maps.
This! By all that has been held Holy and Vile since the dawn of time this!
I got my moQ all tingly over sto* PvP way back in the begining becuase it was fun no matter how bad I sucked or how good I may have luckily performed in a match.
It was that easy to learn and keep pace of the tricks of the trade and gear was only a moderate neccasity.
PvP was accessible for those willing to put effort to learning.
I was used driving skills my Uncle taught me to race home to play sto PvP
And believe me, I am no big fan of virtual reality PvP.
Now its an unbalanced mess that breeds resentment and angst that has no real purpose steming from often ego driven complaints an those same bugs or perceptions of OPness on somethong.
It makes the less appealing to play, even for what fun it may still bring.
I apoligise if these thoughts offend, but damnit give me fun back.
R.I.P
This, just this.
I can't remember exactly where, but there was a peak point where everything was reasonably balanced. Escorts were glass cannons, cruisers could deal damage, power management was important, crew was important, tanking wasn't insane.

Please don't flame me for bringing up another game. This post isn't intended as a plug for any other game. /enddisclaimer
2) Balance pass on abilities and restrict consoles and Doff's (Pick any 2 or 3 of any combo of consoles and Doff's maybe)
3) If you break it, fix it. Right away would be good.
4) Sector control with worth while reward's
5) And like a lot of other people have said, make it fun again. Make me want to log in even if it is for only a half an hour or so. Which is about where my life is now. I can't spend hours every day playing a game. At most you will, If you are lucky, get me for 2 hours.
I have a LTS and want to like this game but you don't even give me much new PvE to grind in and you give nothing really for grinding in PvP.
======================================
Dazed and confused at what goes on in STO since Feb 2010
I have noticed i'm not really bothering to queue anymore unless somebody twists me arm. This Vldy exploit is half of it, i dont mind being ****tier then the average bear at PVP, but i strongly dislike PVPers who are already as good or better using exploits to win, its needless. So i just havent been pewing much.
Besides, i couple queue and spent 45min maybe earning 1500 dilithium, or i could get a group and do something else that rewards my time.
