At this point in the game, a removal and revamp of the three classes. There's no reason why a captain of a starship shouldn't have access to all the class skills, I mean how can any captain not know attack pattern alpha? How can only some captains know about nadion inversion? Why can only some captains call down security teams, or generators?
The class system never worked properly so just scrap it.
But, but, but...they want the illusion that STO is an MMO.
Oh it's an MMO it's just not a traditional class-based MMO, and never really was. It never worked.
Just like how we can pick and choose traits now, we should be able to pick and choose captain skills. No classes, we define what kind of captain we are.
That would work I guess, the problem is, everyone would probably pick the same skills...which would pretty much destroy the illustion of "choice"
"Cryptic Studio’s Jack Emmert (2010): Microtransactions are the biggest bunch of nonsense. I like paying one fee and not worrying about it – like my cellphone. The world’s biggest MMO isn’t item based, even though the black market item GDP is bigger than Russia … microtransactions make me want to die.”
I recently listened to a few people in ESD talk about what they wanted in the game. One person stated they wanted a Red Squadron based Set for their Shuttle whilst the other suggested a Delta Flyer based Set.
What are your thoughts?

1.No predetermined fore/aft weapons
2. No predetermined bridge officers
3. No predetermined categorization (carrier, escort, heavy escort, cruiser, battle cruiser, etc.)
4. Device slots that can hold more than just batteries, for example:
Ship separation
Hull/Shield repair drone
Universal Module designed just for Device Slot
5. Full Ship Interiors that we can build. Just give us the parts, and we can take it from their.
One day Cryptic will be free from their Perfect World overlord. Until that day comes, they will continue to pamper the whales of this game, and ignore everyone that isn't a whale.
Setting the Rank cap at Captain. Let Levels go as high as they want - with many, many abilities (including multiple ship control if they see fit), but cap RANK at Captain, the true hero rank of Star Trek.
Because right now we are all Quinns/Jm'Pok/Karerereks. You know, WAY too many chiefs and not enough Indians. When we are all Fleet Admirals who's going to give us orders?
I appretiate that one Captainhunter, I keep wondering what level 100 will eventually be? UFP President?

We have a saying in the Military when someone calls a non-officer Sir or Marm; "Don't call me that, I work for a living".

Since they're building the next season on Alpha/Gamma quadrant exploration, I have two "wish list" items that I'm sure are nowhere on Cryptic's radar:
First, as a flight of pure whimsy (maybe an event ship?), Sisko's pet project:
I'm late to the party so apologies if this was mentioned on a prior page...
I want a Cardassian uniform to dress my Cardassian-alien in!!!

I have to admit, each time I play I keep leaning to the thought that; why is it Armour, Kit & Shields, surely Kit should be Tricorder?

Basicly things, which'd make me 'shut up & take my money'. None of them are hard to implement.
No restriction on hairstyles based on gender/species
No restrictions on which species/characters/BOFFs can use Borg Implants costume pieces, after LTS purchase
The full-Borg body-suit available for our use, after LTS purchase. It exists, the Klingon/Reman/Human Liberated Borg BOFFs have it. Non-skimpy version for females would be nice too; also exists in the game.
Worf Baldric for Federation Captains (or any Klingon sash, useable for us, unrestricted)
[10:20] Your Lunge deals 4798 (2580) Physical Damage(Critical) to Tosk of Borg.

Also I want a engineering BOff in the lobi store that has pirate, or some other buff to weapon damage somehow.
We have a MU themed season coming up. A new MU BOff maybe? Maybe they could have a specific bonus to phasers - like a 4% bonus to phaser damage. Phasers could use the attention anyway.
That's a 20% bonus to phaser damage if you stack 5 of them. Less if they only come in one variety - hopefully engineering.

I'll see those and raise the 'half-balaclava' seen on the Iccobar envoy in 'Midnight' (reference). In my case, it's just what's needed to complete the 'Eurocorp Agent' look... and, as noted elsewhere, works with the miner outfit and Vaadwaur helmet and gloves for a good approximation of the foot soldiers of a certain ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

Just like how we can pick and choose traits now, we should be able to pick and choose captain skills. No classes, we define what kind of captain we are.
That's fine with me, it's still better than what we currently have. There would need to be captain skill rebalancing for it anyway.

I'm not too sure; however, something could be said for tricorders being a distinct piece of gear in the vein of secondary deflectors.
Also wouldn't mind that plasma pistol from the Enterprise pilot.
