The chances of the devs doing anything for pvp are about as high as the chances of the KDF getting anything nice... (that isn't recycled fed or Rommie stuff)
I mean, I can dream, right?
Then I sincerely hope they're no more than rumours. PVP is way too over-hyped in this day and age. It is not the be-all, end-all of improving a game.
If I were to be so bold, i'd like to see Season 9 take a good look at the Klingons. New ships, new uniforms, new playable species. Re-do the First City so it isn't a cluster**** when trying to find something, and so that you don't have to travel to the shipyard to make repairs or alter your ship - hence why my Klinks now live on DS9. Add something that makes the Klingons unique again, similar to Romulan warbird powers.
At the same time, do not forget about the Feds or the Romulans. Maybe consider expanding the Romulan's woeful lack of dedicated T5 science ships by bolstering their ranks with the Hirogen, and add some Hirogen ships. For the Feds...well actually, aside from releasing the ENT Maco Outfit, I can't think of anything that the Feds particularly need.

Other then "Voth" and "Dyson Sphere" do we really even know anything about Season 8?
That said, I hope they add Suliban and Hirogen to the list of Playable Species soon.
This is the STO Forums! It's never too early for people to speculate here.
- poker game
- less grind additions (fleet holdings/reputation tracks)
- more missions/story lines (with bigger maps and or world maps)
- more ships
- new ground armors, space sets
- more sector space with things to do there
- customizable ship interiors with the ability to set dress code for your crew interior
- FIX EXPLORATION in game. Tired of the random map generator and its ability to still make maps that make your bofs fall underneath it.
- new stfs
- new exotic loots that drop in certain stfs or on certain boss's
*crafting shem's, weapons, armor, ship parts, ect
- mounts
^- just to name a few things
Yes to everything you wrote.

More uniform choices, off-duty suits, ship customization, uniqueness to KDF in gameplay as well. bigger first city and able to beam to shipyard from your ship(I though my transporter chief was incompetent so i killed him but after dozens of transporter chiefs i deducted it is problem in shipyard side)
More over id like to see all faction equalised in choices of mission and amount of everything you see.
Id like to see star systems which have all tthe planets and maybe even a sun.

And Season 9 at one point was rumored to have something to do with Exploration and the Foundry. PvP was going to have a role, but apparently it's at the bottom of the priority list. (Well it's obvious since the PvP population is like 1% of the entire STO population. :rolleyes:)
The foundry and pvp definitely need some love. I am a foundry author and the limitations kill me. Making a custom ground map is painful.

Oh pish posh, making a Custom Ground map is easy! Just requires time and imagination!
I just finished making a custom interior of a Romulan D7 Battlecruiser in the Foundry! Complete with D7 rooms seen in TOS and TAS! Like the Cloaking Device room and the Engine Room!
That said, there are some new assets that could benefit the community.
And PvP.......well give them a one or two maps and they would be purring like a kitten.
Why are we 3 years and 8 seasons in, only to be stuck with that horrendous farmer's tan?!?!?
On a serious note though, they should really cut the TRIBBLE, and devote a season of time to just quality of life issues. Making the interiors (bridges specifically) more to scale, fixing DS9 to look and function more like DS9, bringing older ships inline with newer ships(perfect time to add variants and set bonuses), adding new revamped missions, things like that. Even champions online is giving a bit of a break right now to focus on fixing the bugs.
Part of the DS9 revamp would include Scaling, as well as adding in more shops and inhabitants as well. The tailor should be Garak's shop, which would include possible espionage Doff missions. Odo's Security office and the holding cells should be filled with prisoner exchange and security doff missions. There is no reason why Quark's should be its own separate map, especially when the show clearly shows you can just walk in through the open doors on the top and bottom level of the promenade. The ambassador should get her own office as well as a few Diplomatic missions, so she's no longer uselessly just standing there. Being able to see Curland in his office or the defiant in dock would be awesome. Not only should the replicators work for getting food items, but it would be nice to see a fat Klingon singing opera while dishing out food. For a star trek game, this is a really poor rendition of a major hub, and i can't believe that i would be the only one who would love to see this given a proper reworking.
But mostly, i would just love to see them finally fix the skins the character creator to be full body. Even allow us to do a little customization there so we can further enhance our characters.
Yeah, season 9 should totally be all about going back and fixing the quality of life.
I just think it is crazy to select a ground map and then have to build a room 500 feet in the air, and I really dislike having no control over terrain.

Well this is more appropriate for the Foundry Forum, but you only need to build it up that high is if you have a custom interior that has a window and needs a space backdrop.
Multiple Klingon C-Store ships of the highest tier.
More missions to play from the PvE queues. Includes a few unique to the Klingons.
A Single new Romulan C-Store ship of the highest tier.
A Single new Federation C-Store ship of the highest tier.
Bug fixing of any bugs out at that time.
Yeah, brewing more false promises, you mean. That new ship was delayed by months, while the Feddies got a ship that came out of friggin nowhere (it must've gone from beginning to finish in a month, or something). I have zero faith in Cryptic's willingness to truly bring the KDF up to where it needs to be. . .the LoR expansions are starting to feel more like a one-off, especially since Cryptic just couldn't shut up about promoting the Romulans while putting any sort of marketing for the KDF expansion on the back burner.
Basically, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm tired of rumors and interpretations of vague pronouncements by Cryptic.
More PvP would be nice but this game really could use more 5 mans...maybe even bigger! Need to be more ways to make the various marks and need more to fight besides Tholians and Borg.
PvP is the endgame for anyone skilled enough to something more than mash the spacebar macro constantly. Any new 5-man PvE scenarios introduced will get boring in the space of 1-2 months, and people will just demand more of them. It solves nothing.
Anyway, now serious, I think everybody would agree that, after 4 years of nothing but delays and new bugs, PVP would deserve something finally. I mean, I know many people doesn't like PVP (understandable, even most pvpers hate it in its current state, its a total mess), buuut in any respectable and serious MMO, PVP is, y'know, it's PVP... I'm tired of Star Trek being less, with so many races, factions, diplomatic conflicts that thrills you in the series, its MMO could have an awesome PVP system. Sometimes I wonder why Cryptic just don't turn off the servers and turns the game into a single-coop game with new missions and such...
... and if there has to be another Rep. Grind just revamp PVP and / or the Foundry including PVP/Foundry - Reputation Systems ...
1. I think they should have a daily mission in the Gamma Orionis Block like what they have for the Tua Dewa, for Omega marks.
2. There are several sector blocks they barely use I think they should expand them by putting an adventure zone in one of them. Maybe a hidrogen in Iota Pavonis or A Hur'q(from Sword of Kahless DS9) invasion.
3. I think they should do a space zone. I like what they did for the Voth, but I think they could do better.
Thanks

This. Make season 9 the bugfix season and Foundry storefront revamp season, please.

Much as I agree, it won't happen. They won't devote an entire Season's content to bugfixing because bugfixing doesn't sell.
Since we're getting some sort of Content for S9, I would like to see a revamp of the Omega, Romulan and Nukara reps to bring them in line with the new Dyson rep, and a revamp of Defera, New Romulus and Nukara Prime to give gameplay and rewards similar to the Battlezone.
Parallels: my second mission for Fed aligned Romulans.
That could be awesome.
I hope the next season is just content for all the under developed rep systems and PVP. Maybe some more story for the Klingons who got fed patrols passed off as featured episode content.
