So far in the event department we have had War of the Worlds (Borg Invasion of Defera), Starship Troopers (Nukara), and now Margaretaville (Risa), and New Romulus (Terra Nova TV series). All great but we seem to never get any fun with our shuttles for any length of time besides the occasional missions and PVE queues.
I think our next adventure zone/event.....Fighter weapons school. Due to the vastness of space the art of dog fighting has been lost, however with the increased Borg threat smaller and faster craft are needed. So for two weeks each major faction will send their best and baddest to Saturn will Starfleet will teach you the fundamentals of fighting in a small craft.
This can be a good place to practice starship tactics in both PVE and PVP hops or sorties. PVE will be against the instructors, high level NPC's. Then the students can participate in daily trophy event where they have to eliminate the competition to win a high level prize. Plus you can play a 2 on 2 match. Wingman queues
In addition to playing with a shuttle you also earn school points you can buy
Clothing: flight suits, leather jackets, pilot gear
A new fighter can also be up for grabs too.
But occasionally their will be a red alert and all the flight groups are sent up to confront the invaders rewards can be anything really.
Cryptic can add a Call Sign feature to the record of your character to be used to identify you in combat.
The player has a bridge officer or RIO (Radar intercept officer) come down as well.
Just idea of something new.....Grab your aviator Risan glasses, get the need for speed!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "This planet smells, it must be the Klingons"
i second this, this sounds like a good idea, except instead of Starfleet have it be like the Omega Force....and somewhere NOT in Sirius sector, where both factions have equal right to travel through, Pi Canis or Eta Eridani sound good, maybe even someplace in Alpha Centauri
it wouldn't make much sense for KDF pilots going to Starfleet for training...seeing as they're enemies
KDF for Life! Romulan at Heart Fed cause they made me ~ :P
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...

Uh, have you played this game? It's called Escorts Online, where virtually every ship is a dogfighter. Seriously, this game has more in common with Ace Combat than Star Trek nowadays.
^^ This is so true. I see soooo many escorts in game. I wish that the science ships had a better role to play so we would see more people choosing to run these beauties.

The 3 familiar ones
Obesiek : call sing Little Spy
Val Kal Shon: call sing Belfast (a way to remember his old ship)
Dvak (STF Klingon Admiral): call sing: Cyber
The new ones can be former Maquis pilots that defected back to the Federation
Each faction will be a team made from the best pilots of each faction's starship.
