    Still going for voyager.

    Because well new aliens, diversity, there are still open stories there, would love to know what happened to the docter and why can't we encounter him? Since he would most likely still be alive like beta.

    Furthermore, would there be missions involving the old crew?

    it would be great to see more of all the star trek series in future updates and expansions especially the one's you don't have much of in the latest updates, and there are some ships and characters, story's that you should see more of like from enterprise and TNG because there is a lot of stuff that can be put in to the game but hasn't just think of what you can do to add to the game.

    i do have some good ideas for new ships, story's, character's and some other thing's :)

    Some douche said Voyager was a terrible series. I really don't see how that is possible. That person may not like it, but the fact it had 7 seasons, and that many people enjoyed it immensely, says otherwise.

    What i have found is that some of the trek stuff i didn't like when i was younger, i now like a lot more now i am matured.

    Bottom line here: Kids, GTFO and stop making wild opinionated statements when you probably never even felt a breast yet.

    Furthermore, Enterprise, i also thought was excellent. I had the same 'Quantum Leap' hangup that a lot of people have mentioned. However Bakula owns the part and erased all memory of his previous life after a few episodes.

    The fact is, ALL star trek is hit and miss. The episodes vary so wildly that there is something for everyone, and there is always something that someone won't like as well.

    I can understand your point of view, but watch it. Seriously, go and watch it. It's perfectly suited to your tastes and I think you'll genuinely love it.

    IMHO It was far superior to Voyager and TOS. I was lucky enough to have never seen Quantum Leap so I'd never seen Archer as anything else - but it really is a great story and series.

    Give it a chance, 5 episodes *at least* before giving up on it!

    I agree with you on this. In my opinion it is by far the most underrated Trek show. I really liked ENT and enjoyed watching it.
    I find it rather strange that a lot of unnecessary hate for ENT comes from all the wrong reasons, like Bakula being in Quantum Leap or being a prequel or such. IMHO, it was a good show with a lot of potential.

    Wow sir, what an intellectual post! You must be a scholar. :rolleyes: I applaud your profound way of expressing your opinions for people to read here. :rolleyes:

    Now, maybe when you'll mature even more, you'll realize that after what you posted and the way you expressed yourself noone really cares about your thoughts on anything any more.

    @ the poll: ToS for sure. Not so much in-show ships as just ships from that(pre-movie) era. I'm sick of seeing Connies and Mirandas, let's see what other 23rd-century ships looked like. Their carriers, their escorts, their dreadnoughts, etc.

    Would be cool to see other stuff
    Only problem is ...


    Anything that is (in number of votes) less that DS9, is insignificant, futile and ... somewhat invalid.

    Even though I think it deserves the least amount of votes
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    As a new player I was on Risa for the first time and noticed no bar. If Risa is a pleasure planet then we need one. I mean fun in the sun is relaxing and all but it does get hot and we need drinks. Maybe this Ferengi should build one for you. Can I say profit profit profit! :D

    Ship specific bridge packs would be nice...

    Voyager species/ships/explorabnle worlds like Kazon, Telaxian, and Okompa would be fun. I mean we already have the Herogen, Species 8472...

    Better borg outfit/skins for our borg boffs.

    /my english could have mistakes - english is not my native/

    I understand why Voyager is wining this poll.
    Arguments for "more Voyager in this game" are strong and i very much understand them but ...

    i will love to see more Changelings-related stuff and Dominium-related stuff in STO.

    For example:
    1) Second "Good Link" which already exists in this game. In some episode this is openly said that this second Link exists as i understand this epidose - Second "Good Link" as faction.

    2) Vorta playable species - not only for "Good Link faction", also for Fed (why not ... one of Wayouns helped Odo ...).

    3) Jem'Hadar playable species.

    !! 4) Changeling playable species.

    (I understand that is could be hard from many reasons - for example changeling playable specie used by user should not have range weapon in my private opinion and it means problems when user want to use ground set for bonuses on this toon and it means devs problem that this toon user won't be going to get this set and problems like this ... ... ... but to discuss ...). So i am aware that Changelings playable species is really low propability in this game but still ... asked about my opinion - my vote is for them-related stuff.

    5) Cardassians ...

    Some people will love Cardassians as playable.

    Adding more:

    I am Star Trek and Star Trek Online fan and i will be one, with some hope that second place (which is propably what Deep Space Nine will have in this poll) will bring some Changelings- and Dominium-related stuff to this game.

    Of course - main thing to do should be to remove bugs still existing in this game.

    Personally... I don't want new content.

    I understand new content is important to the game's income. Players will leave if there's nothing new and interesting. But also consider that the number of bugs, broken features, badly designed components and exploits are driving away players too.

    Foundry. Rep system. PvP. Missions. STFs. Mine Trap. On and on, exploits, bad balance, bugs, and more plague these features. Some, like Foundry and PvP, are some of the hardest hit.

    I'd rather have the game completely overhauled, looked at and repaired, before I see any new content. Like, look at LoR. Tons of new content, but millions of players have paid the price for this huge bug-ridden content dump.

    I voted Voyager, only because it's one point that STO doesn't seem to touch on very much.

    My heart went to DS9 because I really want to go to the Gamma Quadrant before Delta, but the game already has a lot of DS9-related material.

    I am enjoying watching ENT on Netflix as I never saw it before. But... ENT in STO feels too much like going backward. Or forward if we're talking about time travel. Haven't gotten to the Xindi arc... seems like they ought to be better represented in STO, but still less interested in seeing ENT stuff in the game.

    What I would like to see in terms of content:

    1. The Cardassians as a playable faction. the raw materials and the story potential are there. They already have an enemy in the form of the True Way. Plus, it would make Cardassia an actual destination.

    2. At least an option for Romulan characters to operate independently from either the Klingons or the Federation. They can ally with them at first, but then elect to operate under the Republic exclusively.

    3. The Remans as a default player race instead of a C-Store race. THEY WILL BE FREE!

    4. Romulan specific STF Gear. The Feds have MAKO. The KDF has Honor Guard.

    5. A more aesthetically pleasing skin for the Borg Space Gear. The Borg are supposed to be advanced. The spiky Legos look just looks outdated, especially when compared to Aegis, MAKO, or HG. This is just my opinion.

    6. Ship specific interiors. I know that this is a tall order, but the current standard layout looks extremely out of place on small ships like Escorts. A neat idea would be to have access to the shuttlebay (or hanger for my carrier junkies out there) and the player could choose a shuttle (that they have) to fly from there.

    What I have noticed in terms of bugs that I wouldn't mind getting fixed:

    1. When my Romulan Character puts on a spacesuit, she suddenly ceases to have a head.

    2. I got stuck in a building (Law's residence) on Nimbus III and had to go to orbit and come back.

    3. When I'm on ground missions in places like Nimbus or one of the frontier exploration planets, my Bridge Officers will inexplicably turn into rocks or trees. I had one turn into a mountain before.

    4. It's extremely annoying when I'm in the middle of a mission and all of the sudden I'm kicked off of the server.

    I'm sure there's more, but those are what I've noticed.
    Klingons, you get the best melee weapon in the game- for free. You get the only ship class in the game with universal officer slots- for free. You get access to eleven different types of carrier- one of which is free. You are warriors, quit complaining.

    Vote Cardassian, not Kardashian.

    raptor1701 - Even the Aquatics could join in if you had a kind of space-only Boff, since you can't really have a giant water breather beaming down on away missions.

    Can. Just have to have them in a space suit, like the Breen. Somehow I'm thinking a transparent helmet like a big glass bubble...
    dylan1986b - would love to know what happened to the docter and why can't we encounter him? Since he would most likely still be alive like beta.

    Timeline says he finally won his sentience case in 2394 and took a job on Galor IV. Galor IV doesn't seem to be in game.

    Talos IV would be fun too. I loved that episode (and loved it all over again for the framing story. Yes, all right, you can call that logic if it makes you feel better, but we won't believe you...) Although with all these holograms cluttering the place up, they might find themselves a bit behind the times!

    Forgot: I think one of the most glaring problems in the game at the moment is that it's impossible to pick up a Foundry mission where you left off when you logged out - you have to flick through all the map changes up to that point to get back to where you were. Makes the longer ones very awkward indeed. Can that be such a hard one to fix?

    Minor problem: there's the Seven of Nine set for female Federation costumes, yet no Borg implants at all for men or for Klingons. Do something about this, devs, it would be fun!

    Remans are FREE, provided you have T5 Romulan rep which IRRC takes like 30 days otherwise you pony up the 1000 zen if you must have them now. :D


    Actually its a nice option especially if they continued it in the future with addition reputations getting T5 rep in given faction would allow you to unlock "X" playable race/c-store/Bundle exclusive items.

    As much as I don't like Janeway - I do see your point.

    In regards to ENT - the Temporal Cold War touches base both on the past and the future, compared to early 25th century, so I guess this would make a great story arc and greate source for ships, costumes, etc. :)

    Since you have a troll as your avatar, I'm not even sure if there's a point in arguing with you... I just wish to congratulate you on the way you relate to people you don't agree with. Also I would like to say that your vocabulary, and form of expression proves not only how incredibly "mature" you are, but also that you completely miss the point of Star Trek.

    Anyway - I am giving Voyager a second chance, though I really can't stand the voice and attitude of Janeway (not to mention hairdo .. ;) ). Thankfully there are other characters as well.

    Oh and I very much agree with Bakula nailing the role of Archer - he played a legendary pioneer captain, and he really was just that. As a Starfleet officer, I am proud to follow the footsteps of Jonathan Archer :D.

    I am hoping the part where Stahl says reputation system being more approachable that its would be based on faction fed, kdf, romulan, etc. For a lot of long time players most have either mostly feds or mostly kdf so if you want to be able to play what you want when you want with these it would be easier to play if you do the reps on a faction basis.

    Edit: Another thing I'd like to see in this next season is some effort put into making it easier to switch between ships so if say I wanna have setups saved to switch between a vo'quv, bop, and heavy battle cruiser that I can have everything thing saved go and switch ships. Otherwise you spend most of your time online switching ships or having to create a boff roster a mile long just to have specific ones for every ship that you command.

    I think having more stuff from voyager would be a fantastic idea. We can send all the noobs away for the 75 year trek and let them do it in real time that way they are out of the queues and such. then you can pug again knowing they wont be in there, fantastic idea I say lol

    That's all wonderful and the STO teaming keeps raising the bar of ingame content quality...... however.... I would like to log on to STO and do something other than fight. We have some of the best ships to be imagined, the best fleets, fleet support and some players have crews that are honed to the point of absolute perfection after years of selection, experience and loyalty to STO special events... all they do is fight though or otherwise toil away making consoles or trading for supplies.
    Where is the true spirit of Star Trek? Where is the exploration, the science, the mystery.
    I am not saying take the combat out... what many besides myself are saying is that it certainly wouldn't hurt to introduce rewards based on mental challenges, exploration and cleaver scientific based challenges rather than DPS or lots of disposable income converted to Zen.
    Thank you for please considering this neglected and most important aspect.
