Also, I've reached out to the content devs, and while the majority in this thread wanted to see a merge for the FED and KDF gameplay forums, it's actually better for them if it stays separated.

I still say we should have a general mechanics subforum. It's off putting that most of the mechanics is discussed in PvP, and that's there isn't a good subforum for general mechanics suggestions.

That would be discussed under "Captains and Bridge Officers", no? Since that encompasses powers, traits, abilities, etc.?

Suggestions labeled in red above. Under the Fleet Administrative section, I think it best to either name it based on location (First City, Mol'Rihan), or planet name (Earth, Qo'nos, New Romulus), or faction (Federation, Klingon, Romulan).
Duly noted. Onwards, go for Alpha Quadrant News Network.
Not sure about this one. Both Qo'nos and Romulus exist within the Beta Quadrant. Earth is actually located roughly in the middle boundary of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

I agree with the others who say there should be mechanics subforum. Mechanics are not just about powers, traits, and abilities. They are also about things like turn rate, hull repair rate, shield resistances, etc. Currently, most of the mechanics discussions take place in the PvP forums. While it may be that PvPers have the most interest in mechanics, it is not solely a PvP issue. I have tried asking mechanics questions in The Academy with little success. That forum is used mostly for answering the questions of new players, not for detailed technical questions.
I also hope that this forum reorganization does not turn out like the last change to the forums.

Ten Forward should continue to exist for intros, discussions not about the game, forum games, etc.
I'd like to stay away from the title "PvE Feedback" if posaible as we'll get some players posting faction-specific feedback into it. I'm open to other names than what I listed too
I think I'll update "Starbase One" to "Earth Spacedock". Anyone have any objections?
Moving "Graphical Issues" to the second spot is no problem.

I'd like to try and cover mechanics in the same forum as powers, skills and traits because they can be related and the same Devs that work on "mechanics" work on those. I'm open to other names for this subforum so it's more clear that mechanics should be discussed there. We'll try and keep mechanics discussions out of the PvP subforum if they are more general and don't only relate to PvP.

I'd be inclined to call it "Nuts and Bolts" but that doesn't seem very Star Trek (and may not be immediately obvious)....
Oh, how about "Main Engineering (Classes, Powers, Traits, Mechanics, etc)"?
Should the shipyards sub-forum (builds, feedback, not art, etc.) still be separated by faction?
Are there any forums that you think should be combined?
Is STO discussion and General Community Feedback too similar or should we keep them separated?

If I were visiting the forums for the first time, I would not think that "Captains and Bridge Officers" would be the subforum to discuss game mechanics. Many mechanics questions seem to belong under multiple categories. Some examples:
1. How do shield resistances work? (The Shipyard, PvP Gameplay, PvE Gameplay)
2. How does flanking work? (PvP Gameplay, PvE Gameplay)
4. How does the leadership trait work? (Captains and Bridge Officers, The Shipyard, PvP Gameplay, PvE Gameplay)
3. How do technician duty officers work? (Duty Officer System, The Shipyard, PvP Gameplay, PvE Gameplay)
It is not clear where one should post to get one's question answered. Below I have linked three recent mechanics threads that I am aware of. Notice how they appear under three different subforums.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
As for <X> News Network, how about "Orion-Cygnus Arm News Network".
Most of the KDF and RSE are in the Beta Quadrant and Earth sits right at the Border of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. This would suggest a good deal of the KDF and RSE are in the Orion-Cygnus Arm as well as our Solar System.

why arent these 1 thing? especially when so many missions are cross faction already, and more will be (not)season 8?
I asked the content team and it's easier for them to find and act on feedback when it's separated as there are many aspects of gameplay that is unique by faction.
I'd be inclined to call it "Nuts and Bolts" but that doesn't seem very Star Trek (and may not be immediately obvious)....

How about "Nuts and (stem)bolts :P
Otherwise, I like the overall layout as posted by Bran...
- For the news section, yes a neutral name would be nice and "Q Continuum Daily News" or "Captain's Table Telegraph" as suggested are good examples.
- I do wish for each factions to retain their sub-forum and it seems it will be that way for the convenience of the devs anyway... Feds will not care so much as it's raining in Qo'nos or Klingon care how much Tribble are loose on SFA campus ground.
- Leave how "Feedbacks" is, after all, a dev working on ships mechanics will know where to pick suggestions off instead of browsing a giant feedback overall forum while another dev wanting to change a trait will not want to read through 100s of posts about shield mechanics.
- I agree names for fleet administartion station, use location names... after all, you called it STATION, so go for Earth Spacedock, First City and Mol'Rihan.
Overall, nice reorganization. There will never be a perfect layout but this one starts to be the best setup thus far.

Unfortunate, it would make things simpler and more concentrated for the players. Especially in the light of the Story Episodes converge after a point, and content remains similar. It may or may not also serve as an indirect incentive for players to try other faction content, if they read about it, which they aren't likely to if it's separate from the area they usually visit.
The problem with these two is that they cover much of the same areas, people will be asking for builds, but that will encompass both sections usually, as it involves both ground and space layouts, BOFF setups for both, and so forth. But it would also likely be too much if lumped together in a Classes, Ships and Mechanics section. Or would it? I've merged the two in the above suggestion layout.
Maybe "Captains and Bridge Officers" should be " Captains, Bridge Officers and Mechanics"?
Cheers,

And you'll have people wondering why they can't be Mechanics in the game
I'm going to vote in favor of a subforum called "Engineering Deck" to be described as discussion of gameplay mechanics and balance.
Under Academy, I still think you should have a separate subheading for Player Guides.

Scrolling past all of those stickies to find recent posts is a bit frustrating.
Not sure if the current forum software can handle it, but putting a "jump link" to the Support forums under The Academy might help people looking for help of a more technical nature.

well, you could do a pve sections, and make a fed, rom, and kdf subsection for more specific issues. their own full forum section just doesn't seem necessary
In regards to the "BOFFs, Captains, classes, traits, powers, mechanics, etc." subforum, it turns out we should probably separate this into Space and Ground -- like the content team and separated faction-gameplay forums, this would help the systems team.

I can empathize with that, but if the content team is requesting it and it makes it easier for them to find and act on feedback, we should consider keeping it separate.

I agree that "Main Engineering" sounds like a good title, though it may be a little unclear to people that discussions of ground mechanics go there.
Neither does Ten Forward but that's where the descriptions come in.
