A dream list for season 9

towani

Just have a few moments to wind down the day at work and was thinking of what I'd love to see for S9.

I say Season 9 because I'm sure season 8 is already being worked on so let that be finished and take notes for the next

I love the past seasons and what we've seen from featured episodes in the past, and new goodies we get from now and then, but I'd like to see Season 9 improve on what we already have. Hold off on more new stuff until after a season 9 improvement season, or whatever.

1 - Crafting. Needs a total overhaul. Make crafting useful, so that one could craft atleast the equivalent of a purple Mk XI. Maybe the Mk XII would only come from the best of rep grinding, etc

2 - Starbases and Fleets. I'd love to see more with alliances between fleets, more abilities to set up cosmetics on starbases... the ability to go to other peoples starbases (just to view how they've set them up cosmetically), etc (starbases and embasies)

3 - Doff system. I enjoy this but more could come from this. The ability to name the doffs, or give ranks to the doffs. See those doffs as your crew if you are in your ship interior.

4 - Boffs - The ability to have them with you on your starbase, or assign them to your other ships to do special Boff missions (maybe a Doff system for Boffs???) Make their rank more useful. Make our rank more useful as I'm a Admiral still doing TRIBBLE work. No admiral in any military does the grunt work we do, lol.

5 - Do more with GPL and things like Dabo. Add to or enhance the Dabo experience. More mini-games. Better rewards... not just 1 hour gag gifts. It's depressing.

6 - Slots not just for and aft on ships. What about sides, or 3d / top and bottom? More slots in general - such as a tribble spot on toons or armor spot on ships.
What about a universal console slot... for... universal consoles

I know most or all of this has been talked about over the years. I'd just like to see the culmination of all these things be done instead of keep getting pushed back to later seasons... and bring out more stuff in the mean time while these all get back burnered.

That's my .02 credits and wishful thinking... what about you folks?

tenkari

the more slots thing was thought of before by adding armor... but as for more weapon slots... unless its either fore/aft or port/starbord then sure, but hell no to more than 8 weapon slots active at any one time unless its a T6 ship.

1. More WoK era uniform options - the jackets and vests, specifically.

2. The ability to have some control over our crew uniforms (even if it's just 'TOS'/'WoK'/'TNG'/'Ent'/'Voy'/'DS9'/'2409' without any further detail options beyond the basic uniform for that time period, it's annoying to be flying a Miranda with BOffs in WoK uniforms and everyone else sporting 2409 uniforms, it's immersion-breaking)

3. Romulan trophies and a place to display them. (Sure, you can see D'Vex's helmet and the Virinat picture in your Ready Room, but I'm not really counting those)

4. More outfit options for KDF.

5. Revamp the Starfleet tutorial/storyline with the same BOff-introduction setup the RR and KDF have...

6. More ships for Romulans.

7. Accolades for 'Non-Aligned' space and ground kills.

8. Maybe make your ship interior play more of a part than just a place to display trophies and get 'Assemble Hypo/Regenerator/Shield Charge/Power Cell/etc." assignments...

your either a Betazoid or a Reman cause you read my mind

Fix the bugs from season 7

With top priority on all the ground sets and accolades still being blocked and the missing t5 item, the flamethrower. (it's been in beta tesing for 7 months now)

Reality check on the nukara reputation and the marks per mission you get.

For the nukara "ground sets", either make them into costumes or add fast remodulation.
Currently, they are utter useless PLUS they take away your remodulation PLUS earning nukara marks vs stf marks is like spending the night with famke janssen or freddy krueger.

You - might - persuade me to grind reputation but the marks have to go up, you need to fix the gear AND make account wide. Forget grinding reputation on 5 characters for 20 marks per mission for gear I won't be using.

Capes for reman - no idea what happened to the original costume you'd expect was the first thing added...
Yes, I rolled a reman just for that one costume that has a cape and here we are.

captainperkins

I agree with everyones wish lists. I just really want Wrath of Khan phasers with special authentic phaser beam effects. (those pulsed bursts and the mini beams kirk used to fire the ear slug)

And starfleet assault phaser pistols from star trek 6 with authentic beams, because the wrath of khan uniforms aren't complete with out the right weapons.

I'd also like to see some more interior customization for our starships. Where we can choose to re arrange corridors, styles, and have a late 23rd century interior to match the excelsior class and constitution refit.

Maybe some more activities to do on board.

Yes, I agree with this. We have this great interior, that honestly, servers no purpose

Seriously.. before any addition of "new" content, I'd like them to fix the current content. 100%.

Yeah, we all know that's probably not going to happen. At least not for a long time.


Anyway, the main things i would like...



1.) More ships : For all sides. The Feds could do with something huge (jupiter ), the KDF/RR need something similar to a Vesta or something!

2.) The fleet logo to be printed on the sides of star bases in the fleet PvE's, Instead of the default Federation/Kdf badges.

3.) More variations in PvE types. For example, a ground boarding defense (Where you have to hold your ground, like the interior nukara elite). For space you could have something like no win scenario, But you are not protecting anything and respawns only happen at the end of a wave. So a last man standing kinda thing...

4.) Like others have said, Reality check on Nukara marks.

If i get 30 from Azure, which is fun and takes 12 mins...

Or should i play the CC and get 25 for roughly 25 minutes of respawning PROVIDING that my team is packing enough firepower....


Hmmm, which one do i pick eh?

novapolaris

• Map-building tech from Neverwinter's Foundry, both for making Foundry maps and for starship interiors.
• Carrier commands for special ability craft like Saucer Seperation and Multi-Vector Assault Mode.
• More "Fleet of 2409" ships for all factions, including a Starfleet Fighter Refit.
• Yes, some bugfixes. Not *too* many as to make things take forever, but enough for the time being. For example, the Photonic Displacement Module is completely broken now and only fizzles out when activated.
• Selectable rank insignia for Wrath of Khan uniforms, and a 25th century Starfleet Medical badge. I have not forgotten.
• Uniform selection for default ship interior crew and security team members.
• Targeting system improvements for attacks and abilities.
• Separate, single armor slot for starships, with modifier value based on ship type.
• Computer Core slot for starships.
• Updated visuals for Borg space set, which scales from the current look at Mk X to a look more reminiscent of the Tal Shiar ships/Narada at Mk XII.
• Increased vertical angle maximum in space.

sardocian

-Unified Sector Map
-Actual Exploration
-Better PvP (more scenario based PvP, not just kill-the-other-side...capture the flag would be cool)

novapolaris

• More Tier V Refits. Preferably following the trend of the Regent class, with one ship-exclusive console and one piece of special gear that any ship can use. Hopefully one such ship class will be named after the U.S.S. Musashi.
• Romulan Quad Cannon vessel.
• Again, Neverwinter Foundry map-building tools. This is essential for both Foundry missions and starship interior customization.
• Matter-Antimatter Warp Core abilities. Picard Maneuver anyone?
• Separate, single armor slot for starships. Balanced with per-ship modifier values, like with shields. Can add visual effects.
• Computer Cores.
• Tricorder slot, at least for aesthetics. Surely Starfleet would have updated the design since the mid-late 24th century.

cidstorm

-Expand PVP
-Make Romulans independent
-Tier 5 connie refit
-reduce dili cost of duty officer replacement
-elite stf's for all reputation grinds with equal rewards to Omega
-make more retrofits and fleet versions of existing tier 5 ships, allow different play styles to be optimized with more ships, must come with an additional ship skin

queeg9000

Get rid of the old ground animations from the early 2000 era,I mean even I could do better.

Finnish the KDF faction properly.

Finnish the game in general.no new Cstore TRIBBLE until the core game is completed.

mrkollins

oldravenman3025

What would I like to see in the future (including Season 9)?

1. Cardassians as the player faction for the next expansion.

2. A Tholian bridge officer. :P

3. The ability to change the uniforms of our Embassy purchased Romulan bridge officers. The green civilian-style uniform feels a bit out of place. The ability to dress them in Star Fleet, Republic, or Imperial-style uniforms (like you see security personnel on New Romulus wearing) would be nice.

4. A Voyager bundle for the C-Store. Included would be that funky (but cool) compressor phaser rifle only seen on Star Trek: Voyager.

5. Personal phaser weapons from the Deep Space Nine/Next Generation era.

6. Add bridge officers from the other Federation races.

7. More official Federation starships. To be specific: The Springfield, Niagara, Freedom, New Orleans, Challenger, Apollo, Rigel, and Constellation classes. Maybe even the four engine "proto-Nebula" variant.

8. I might get flamed for this, but I wouldn't mind seeing Franz Joseph's starship designs make it to the game as C-Store items.

9. More material for Klingon Empire players. I have a Klingon rolled up, and what I have seen so far (don't play her often, I'm mainly a Federation player) is kinda lacking.

10. More Cryptic-designed 25th Century vessels for all three player factions, especially for the Klingons and Romulan Republic.

11. Yes, I'm going to say it. Too bad if somebody doesn't like it. So...I wouldn't mind seeing a higher tier Light and Standard Cruiser.

12. Some extra Special Task Force missions if we are going to have to grind for the Reputation System. Keep things fresh, and you might get fewer complaints about Rep Grinding.

13. Give us some Elachi and Iconians to kill. The ever annoying Tholians, New Way fanatics, the Klingons' pet stooges, and Tal Shiar fascists get boring once in a while.

That's all I can think of for the moment.

dongemaharu

- STFs where you can call in other ships from your inventory as a personal fleet. Elite version gets no respawn if your ships buy it.

- More missions that take place on your bridge.

- Ok, here's a big one. No more stand in front of someone blasting away ground combat. Real Star Trek combat where people have to take cover. Keep shields and armor maybe, but make it more vital to not just stand in front of people shooting.

- Real exploration missions with various endings depending on your decisions.

- More account bound stuff, like lobi, or even rep gear.

There's just one thing I'd like to see for physics reasons (although I know it's probably not going to happen for balancing reasons) and that's having a universal turn rate on all ships. Seriously, just because my Odyssey is larger than a little escort does not mean TRIBBLE about turning in space. As I said though, we're probably not going to see that or every cruiser would use cannons or DBBs.

januhull

1) Some further developments in the Iconian storyline. The cinematic at end of the Romulan reputation grind was amazing, but it's been a LONG stretch since we've had hard contact with them. It's time for a little show and tell.

2) A fluidic space Featured Ep/Storyline. This seemed to be the key play that stirred the pot in the beginning of the game, the Undine TRIBBLE around behind the scenes triggering the war between the Federation and Empire. After a few quick glimpses at the end of the original Borg track, this is a wide open loose end that is begging for a tie up.

3) More social content. Civilian/off duty clothes, more usefulness on the player homeworlds. The Gorn Homeworld, the Orion Homeworld. Even if they're just minor Nimbus style adventure zones, it's still a fairly critical element in an MMO to have something to do when you want some downtime between grind runs.

johngazman

A complete overhaul of the outfit and tailor system, including the removal of the drop-down menu for Uniform and Off Duty and the consolidation of all outfits into one menu. Part of this would mean Boff now have access to off-duty uniforms, such as the Mercenary Uniform.

In addition, more costumes and outfits need to be added. A few iconic ones for the Fed's, but ideally the focus needs to be on the KDF and the Romulans as the recipients of new uniforms. I'd like to see the guys behind the Romulan interiors put their handiwork to use on Fed and KDF ship interiors, but it's not paramount.

Speaking of the KDF, the Marauding 4 boff needs to be fixed. No excuses. This isn't working as intended, so it needs to be fixed.

Other than that, i've got nothing else specific in mind. Just bug fixes and general improvements. A few new ships for all the factions, and generally, less Lockbox stuff. And if we must have more LB's, then at least have some principles - nothing that could potentially become a playable faction and no ships from the Borg, Iconians or Undine.

I dont no about anybody else but i thought that LOR was season 8, but be4 launch ended up being too big, so it was called an expansion. But LOR is still season 8, or am i wrong?

And i do no from now until season 9 there will be several patches and updates for in game.
Check this out youll no what im talking about, http://sto.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_content.

I just cant wait for our turn to start customizing our kits and selecting our own abilities:)

blisteringherpes

Star Trek took place aboard a space ship. I want a reason to go aboard my space ship. They need to determine a way to make ship interiors really purposeful. This doesn't have to be specific to the bridge, find ways to get me, the captain to other parts of my ship that are more generic that they could easily develop missions around. Instead of having mission dialouge pop up on a view-screen from my bridge officers, allow me to go to each of them aboard my bridge/ship and talk to them physically. Instead of showing my ship traveling through sector space, let me travel while in my ship--i'd rather play as my character than my ship during this time. There has to be a way to make a very trek change to this game.

jumpingjs

LoR is not Season 8. It was just an Expansion Pack. 8 comes sometime near the end of this year.

robeasom

I would like to see Fleet Vs Fleet PVP where you get to attack the other fleets starbase one is the attacker the other the defender but PVP will need a revamp before they attempt this.

A lot of Bug fixes resolved

A bank primarily for Tribble and pets so they don;t take up valuable bank and inventory space

vampirial

*be able to change the default uniform of all the crew walking around your ship

* be able to alter internal graphics of your ship (e.g. You can use the new corridor art tile set or the default)

* as noted before make the Borg set scale in appearance as you go up the set, so X is just slight but the xii is almost the whole ship borgified with more extreme extrusions.

*add the ability to add the borg bodysuit to all lifer borg chars (and a few extra pieces)
