Hmm voyager content, FE tho be a shame if its just 1 FE episode in sep and voth as the s8 baddies and battlezone is part of territory control or somit they said on twitter?
Oh yeah the stfs retrofitted i hope that doesnt mean tweaked existing ones to be fobbed off as something new. Imo keep the stfs the way they are short and sweet space ones, just do more of em with diff enemies which need teamwork and strats and kept to 5 man and doable in 15mins or less when ur good at em.
Season 8 is gona be cool but next time get direct audio feed and a stationary camera and dont stream from LiveStream but use the better site also know a Twitch.tv
Thanks to Priority One for tweeting this, by the way!
I missed this. I wonder how that will work, besides adding new mechanics (and hopefully new optionals).
If anything I hope they make it such that you have to complete the normals first, in story-order (to make sure the player knows the basics of the STF, and to preserve the narrative (and so I can be told whether Hive Space or Ground comes first ). Once the normals are complete with optionals, elites open up and we're where we're at now.

Duno why sounds a bit of a waste of resources that. Rather keep gameplay in the game. Gateway would be best for status updates only and maybe the doff missions as it sounds like it could be a workable feature for it. Crafting tho, that sounds too integral to gameplay that it should be ingame to me.

Hey all! Thanks for tuning in I heard that Trek Radio and G&T also took video from a mounted camera and is working on processing and posting it for the recap article they are planning for the next week or two. Once they post it, I'll definitely post a news article on the front page and forums linking to it.

Hopefully there is a transcript so I can read up as I missed the live stream but from other people they say the feed wasn't good. From what I can see from rreading this thread these are a few of the tidbits
Updated STF's Could be interesting to see what they can do with the current STFS and maybe the older ones as well like terradrome and maybe add a few non borg ones as well.
Voth: Not sure how I feel about these as I never really watched Voyager with them and was hoping for a FEE with Hirogen as the enemy.
Crafting on Gateway: Not sure if this is a good idea as the gateway is no where near adding game info in it. A more useful thing would be able to do doff missions and adding stuff to your reputation section when your not near a PC. Crafting is useless because there is nothing worth crafting at the moment hence why I don't go to Memory Alpha anymore

They'll also "try" to have level-scaling ships. :eek:
...and, here is the game mechanic, which will break my overall interest.
Instead of raising the level cap to sixty, Cryptic will introduce another treadmill mechanic. If they created over level fifty missions, players would have an excuse to own tier five ships. Cryptic is overly tweaking another game mechanic, so they can add to everyone's already hellish grindfest.
Where did all the fun go? Why is the endgame 99.99% grinding?
The Voth are not really news, neither is the Dyson Sphere to be honest.
As for more cross-faction ships, providing they are not lock box ships, they could be cool
Ships that scale would be nice, but I question Cryptic in how this will not be another grind..
Crafting being integrated into Gateway - I share the sentiments already in the thread, fix it first, and I mean without Dilithium, nor any currency that is related to real money..

Retrofitting? Again?
Why not bring back a retrofitted Terradome first, before re-retrofitting the existing STFs.

They're probably doing that too.

I actually know a forum that has a "THIS" button. This forum could use it LOL.

I honestly hope the Light Cruiser gets more love in the future.

Yeah, if done right this could be awesome.
Haha revamp it first before you integrate it

This, please.

Cryptic must be boring at parties.
