Realistic Requests for 2014

flash525flash525 Member Posts: 5,441 Arc User
1) Enable Benzite Bridge Officer Requisition; the model is already available, would just need some tweaking to have it come up as assignment / leveling rewards?

2) Enable Customization of Unique Bridge Officer Rewards:
* Cold War Breen
* Cloaked Intentions Reman
* The 2800 Jem Hadar
* Embassy Purchased Romulans
* KDF Marauding Bridge Officer Rewards (currently not customizable; FED options are)
* Any others that I haven't included here...

All of the above are suppose to be unique, yet all currently look exactly the same. Perhaps some limited customization if not full? In addition, the Reman & Romulan models (as of LoR) are already in game as customizable. At the very least, their clothing options should allow for the respective allegiance uniforms. Face/Body morphs should be open. If I could modify the Embassy Romulan, I'd buy one.

3) A new variant of the Galaxy Class:
My signature is one such suggestion, though I am aware of many others. (@Devs) you're probably aware of the ongoing discussions anyway, but:
* What is your beef with the Galaxy Cryptic?
* Suggestions for the Galaxy Class
* The new Galaxy Variant Speculation Thread

4) A upgrade of the Negh'var / Voodieh Class
As seen in most DS9 episodes with the under hull cannons / nacelles (or whatever they were)); at least an optional extra for current builds. The one we're all flying around with in-game is the Future Variant from TNG: All Good Things. That's great (as we're also flying around in tri-nacelled Galaxy Classes), but I think (for those of us that desire it) we could have those extra segments.

5) A Cardassian Bridge Officer
Either via a True Way / Terran Empire Featured Episode Series, or via some Embassy Project (if Cardassia gets an Embassy of their own with Spoon Marks etc). This request should relate to request #2 with customization too. Even if the Cardassians are to be the next mini faction, we're already able to gain a Reman and Romulan Boff, so why not a Cardassian also?

6) Viewable Kits & Armour for Klingon and Romulan players.
Currently lacking.


Feel free to add to the list, though please be realistic, no "I want a borg faction" cause that's just stupid (and unrealistic, considering I / we should be expecting this list next year). If we're lucky, I'm hoping some of our requests here will get fulfilled. If not, roll on 2015?

    How about adding Ferengi costume options to the KDF Alien character template for those of us that want to create and run a Ferengi Captain that isn't aligned with the Federation.
    There are Ferengi Costumes available through the Lobi Store. They can be purchased (and sold) via the Exchange too I believe. :)

    OP has my support!

    My personal request: another State of the Game, with numbers on how many fleets, players and stuff. It would be fun to see 1 year of difference!

    Don't care about the clothes I want facial options. I can make a Vorta, a Founder, a Jem'Hadar, a Cardassian, and countless other species but not a Ferengi.

    Naturally, I took you exactly by your word.

    I stand (or rather, as I am, sat) corrected though. :)

    That is entirely unrealistic. Fantasy even.

    Not only has Starfleet moved on from the Galbatross to the Sovereign, Starfleet has also moved on from the Sovereign to the Odyssey. If you're flying a hand-me-down Galbatross then you need to realize that Starfleet wants you to retire as much as they want to decommission your ship.

    Perhaps you would enjoy life in a nice little senior citizens' community on Risa?

    Galaxy variant or anything galaxy class ? no enough whining about the Galaxy its by the current timeline in STO an old design at the end of its life span so yes its exactly how an outdated design should be.

    would like to see the cardis become a mini faction like the roms

    Your Logic is flawed, Starfleet ships can last for decades the excelsior has lasted 3 century's and is retrofitted often also the Celestial class the Envoy class and the Venture class are all 25th century variants of the Galaxy class.

    The difference between excelsior and galaxy are obvious

    Excelsior was constructed using a modular design

    Galaxy was not

    The excelsior can be refitted and modified to handle new equip new tech and what not

    Galaxy is hindered by its own design the venture is only an upgrade to the galaxy chasis using some different material but underneath its still the galaxy as all the other skins.

    excelsior can be modified in such a way as it is a completley different ship galaxy cannot do that by its own design.

    so yes at the current point in the timline of the game galaxy is an outdated design nearing the end of its lifespan

    personally you would have thought all of the above 1-6 was all realistic before 2014.

    on my wish list.

    1. stand alone romulan faction. I want to see the fRaction become a faction.

    2. more development of anything alpha and beta quadrant related. so much on our 'door step' isn't in the game... yet the game is heading to the delta quadrant :eek:. which is just absurd tbh. just a few examples... no trill, betazed, ferenginar etc etc playable cardassians....

    3. like to see a massive revaluation of turn rates on all cruisers in the game. seriously i'm not expecting a galaxy or d'deridex to turn like an escort or even a science ship. but they are far too slow as they are. it's just crazy.

    4. more kdf ships. Negh'var refit has been talked about coming for well over a year yet last interview with geko hints it might not be out this year :eek: hoping for some kdf ship love next year just seems like a bit of long wait sadly. a k'vort bop would be nice. also more kdf fleet ships are well over due.

    5. like to see more story with the breen, tholians and undine.

    6. territory control space sectors and ground zones

    7. 3 way pvp

    Don't quote me on this, but I swear I've seen pictures of a Romulan-specific EV suit. It was an in-game picture too (likely on Tribble). Anyone care to help me out here?

    I suppose, on a grand scale you are right, but then from my perspective, realistic is a new ship or attire. Unrealistic is a completely new faction or 100 new missions.

    Okay guys, as much as I love discussions about whether said ship is too old or not, I'd rather not have it here. I posted three threads in my first post that discuss the Galaxy.

    The fact is, regardless of age (and with exception to the Constitution and Miranda) people can't run around here talking about realism. One person comments that the Galaxy Class is too old, yet there are people flying around in older D'Kora and Galor ships that are stronger. Furthermore, you've got Republic players in T'varro Birds of Prey; a design from the 22nd Century, so please, enough with the 'that ship is too old thus doesn't deserve a refit' BS. If a ship is a seller (or potential seller) there is a chance of it being made. There is potential for vast Galaxy sales, thus a potential for said ship to be made.

    There is no argument against this.

    On the contrary, it wasn't nerd rage.

    People complain that the Galaxy is too old a design and that it shouldn't be an endgame ship when there are other designs (some centuries old) that are already endgame ships, thus the initial argument (by you and others that think the Galaxy is too old) becomes obsolete.

    Also, your post about the Excelsior being of modular design, and able to receive update after update:
    The excelsior can be refitted and modified to handle new equip new tech and what not

    Galaxy is hindered by its own design the venture is only an upgrade to the galaxy chasis using some different material but underneath its still the galaxy as all the other skins.

    Feel free to post official sources of this information whenever you're ready. Considering the Venture Type isn't official, I'm curious whose rear end you pulled that information from.

    Its old by the way it was designed its

    1) To large to be practicle to rebuild or a full refit

    2) It not being a modular design limits how many times you can upgrade the design

    3) The time for a complete refit of all existing galaxys would be greater then the time to just refit smaller battle cruiser like excelsior.

    In short flash if the galaxy was a modular design and smaller it would have had the same life expectancy as a excelsior but as it it is galaxy is to large and not designed in a way that would make refits and upgrades easy and cheaper.

    In the end galaxy is obsolete in this time of STO its not because of anything more then the design itself .

    anyways it would be nice to atleast give this ship some love and bring it inline with the TNG TV show galaxy the STO version is just a slow moving slow turning whale.

    Uhm, just like to point out that this is a game. The devs can outfit a Danube with a holo-projector with any flippin photonic weapons they like and call it a rebuild/refit of the ship in question. :P

    Thats why i wish they would give the galaxy some love

    for me i like a good debate while i wait for the server to come back up

    It's a shame some ppl still belive humbug like that.

    The GCS is much more modular than any starfleet ship prior made by starfleet. I have no idea how you came to the idea of the Excelsior being modular or in any way superior to a Galaxy class (in "real" trek not STO)...


    Seeing a Excelsior being tactical superior to a GCS in STO is just a stupid joke, made by ppl with no idea about the IP.

    How about the devs have said that if they ever were to decide to do a Borg faction we'd only get it as Liberated Borg.

    Regardless I can't see how any Borg expansion where you are a Borg could possibly be complete unless you experience life as a real Borg. Imagine the feeling when you are finally liberated!?

    It could be done like they were in the Voyager episode where Janeway and some others were assimilated but still retained their own cognitive functions while they were part of the Collective. So yes you are a Borg but the whole time you are working towards liberation from them.

    If this was a show, film or book, then I'd agree with you.

    The fact is, this is a game, and in a game where older (yet max level) designs still exist, the Galaxy still has a place. If Cryptic can release a Fleet Support Cruiser (Ambassador) then they can re-release a new Galaxy Class. :)

    Note: They wouldn't have to call it a Galaxy Class, they'd just need to have the Galaxy/Venture/Monarch skin enabled if desired. My current Galaxy is a mix between the Galaxy & Monarch, I'm not paying the Venture fee when it doesn't offer me anything except a skin.

    Cryptic gets my money when a more versatile ship is released.


    Anyhow, getting back on track (seeing as this has been derailed by Galaxy speculation and the Borg Collective)...

    7) Starship Bios:
    We can create a story for our characters (and bridge officers), I think it would be nice to have the ability to create some background for our ships too. Where it was built, when it was launched, who christened it, it's maiden voyager (etc).

    8) More Undine content:
    Maybe a FE Series toward the end of next year? They featured in early FED missions, and they're got a couple of missions to themselves, but at present, their whole story has dried up. They were suppose to be invading again, yet we've hardly seen them. Would be nice for them to make their grand return (either to fight us, or to aid us in fighting the Iconian).
