I'm seeing a lot of what the community would like the next expansion to be.
My personal feelings are I'd like to see what we have improved and updated or added to. What I don't want to see is another faction or increase in levels (making our Mk XII potentially useless [horizontal building instead of vertical]).
There is a lot of great feedback and some consistency one what players do want to see... therefore how about instead of letting someone making the game come up with dino's with frickin lazer beams, let's let the community pick the next expansion.
Until there is an official survey, what 3 things would you most like to see:
1 - Doff / Boff expansion
2 - Reputation revamp
3 - Mini games expansion
What 3 things do you NOT want to see?
1 - More playable species
2 - Even more ships making older ones less useful
3 - Level cap increase
Enjoy

Hi. Apparently I'm new here and joined in Jun 2012. Guess I'm in good company though... seems everyone else joined then too!

1.) Reputation revamp of old system
2.) BoP 3 pack
3.) Reworking of Older Federation ships (Galaxy,Intrepid, Galaxy-X)
Wouldn't like to see :
1.) Cardassians (Seriously, i don't get how it'l work, they have like 3 ships - one of which is a box ship!)
2.) Anymore Tac heavy Rom or Fed ships
3.) Can't think of a 3rd..
We don't need another faction, if you must just add race specific ships.
THEN they can look at adding new stuff, once the existing stuff has more meat on it.
want:
1. Fleet command ability for Boffs and player owned ships
2. Diversity in the factions. (feds tech heavy) (rommy sneaky) (KDF tactical)
3. Faction neutral game play. (start any toon any faction but be able to leave faction and not rejoin any other)
Don't want
1. cap increase
2. more rep systems
3. copy paste reskin content
The Romulans only really had two or three from the shows; D'Deridex, T'Liss and T'Varo, Valdore(Mogai) and Scimitar - not counting shuttles, of course.
All the Refit ships, plus the Daenios, Ar'Kif/Ar'Kala, Falcion/Tulwar, Ha'apax, Haakona, Ha'Feh, Ha'Nom and the temporal ships are Cryptic originals.
Once they can get around the issue of the Galor in the LB (which let's be honest, isn't as hard as the Dev's seem to be making out), then you've got the Galor, Keldon and Hideki classes that are canon and Cryptic can work on doing 25th Century refit and retrofit versions of them and adding classes of their own.
I'd like to see;
What I don't want to see;
However, there are some things I wouldn't mind seeing.
Such as:
1. An update to color palettes for all factions and items.
2. Not new ships, but wouldnt mind seeing the return of ship costumes. New takes on what we already have.
3. Updated ship interiors, more options.
And before anyone jumps down my throat for suggesting what I have, let me explain.
The color palettes are self explanatory imo, alot of the newer items, such as the winter coats, have no matching color in any of the palettes. Some of the items have very limited color options.
And while I said no ships, I dont really mean no new ships. New ships are fine in moderation. However back when the game first came out it wasn't new ships left and right, it was new costumes for the ships we already had. A lot of people like their current ships and dont want to change, lets keep it that way and instead give them more options to make their ship look different via costumes.
Ship interiors...that should be self explanatory. The old bridges that came with release (Cstore bridge packs included), need to be revisited and have their textures and effects updated. The consoles on all bridges need to be double checked to make sure the graphic is straight and doesn't looks all halfassed. The lower decks and hallways need more options than just what they gave us at interior release. You've given us the defiant and TOS interiors, expand on that. You designed a new interior for the fed starter mission, expand on that for all ships.
Thats about all the ideas I have at the moment. I am sure there are more, but these are all things that could be done.
1 - mobile play expansion
2 - Reputation revamp (hybrid both old and new systems)
3 - Romulans becoming a full fled faction or level cap increase
What 3 things do you NOT want to see?
1 - another subfaction (without Romulans becoming a full faction)
2 - bugs (kidding but not really) more non-dismissable boffs
3 - More power creep
I hate voyager, and I think it's the worst of all Star Trek, but how is the Delta Quadrant, which had more aliens shown than anything from the Gamma Quadrant, boring?
All the best moments in DS9 had little to do with the Gamma Quadrant except for the Dominion, and even the War was always in the Alpha /Beta Quadrants.
At least the Delta Quadrant has a lot more aliens to work with compared to the Gamma Quadrant.
Except for the Dominion, the Gamma Quadrant is BOOOORRIRING
1 - More Trek-feel story & more immersion
2 - Improvement to get rid of the comics looking character models, both male & female
3 - More places to go, where I can kick the Borg to the shins
3 things I don't want to see
1 - Bugs
2 - More grinding
3 - More playable factions

Also, in relation to the Gamma Quadrant - Don't the Dominion basically own it? Are they going to be best pleased if we turn up again?
1 - Doff / Boff expansion - more usabailty of ship (fleet uses)
2 - Reputation revamp - agreed
3 - Mini games expansion - meh dont care
What 3 things do you NOT want to see?
1 - More playable species - sorry this ones GOING to happen
2 - Even more ships making older ones less useful - HAHAHAHAH this comment is stupid
3 - Level cap increase - WE need this again waste of your typing.. again totally stupid comment.. if levels dont increase we stagnate and VA is not where a military chain ends sadly its almost like you wanted to invalidate your own post???
Progress means things DO NOT stay the same....
NEW = sales, more levels = new features (like Admira;s having ships fly in flotillas)....
1 - Boff revamp including new RRF species and space traits for all - and not just 'Superior Moar damage!!!' either.
2 - Focus on NON lock box Engi/Sci ships coupled with an older ship balance retrofit/revamp.
3- Cardassians. But only if a real effort is made to give parity to all factions prior to and after their release. 'Buy our shiny OP Romcritz' affected the game in ways I'm not sure were necessarily predicted and doing a similar thing again would annoy a lot of players.
Don't want:
1- Yet more tac ships. Not for a while anyway.
2- ANY Fleet Admiral RTS type mechanic. I already own Armada and Dominion Wars, thank you. This leads on to...
3- Level cap increase. I feel that, in terms of cryptic income and gameplay, Reputation serves this purpose already and there are other, far more inventive ways to prolong the longevity of a character and entice players to spend money.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
1 - That the countless bugs (some of which persists for years) finally get fixed
2 - More Trek-feel stories & more immersion in general
3 - More places to go and EXPLORE
3 things I don't want to see
1 - Bugs
2 - More grinding
3 - More playable factions
I would like;
KDF ground combat focus on kits and abilities.
A slew of non-klingon KDF ships for the Orions, Gorn, Ferasan, Leathean, etc.
A STF series that focuses on the Undine hunt (from a KDF pov) that can lead to the upcomming cease fire.
That the KHG rifle has some more specific melee animations and attacks added to it.
A Klingn science ship.
R.I.P
How I would like to see it work is you do some kind of mission, reputation etc with your side and you would unlock a slot and you would be able to put an officer in one of your other ships but it would start at the lowest rank. As that officer went through combat he would level up and be able to fly better ships. This would allow you to use all those older ships also but just to make things simpler the equipment on the ships should always be the best equipment you can put on. So you could start your officer out in a constitution but you could put XII equipment on it.
For my second thing I would like to see more accolades that give bonuses allowing ships to specialize through usage of abilities, weapons etc. Give them a kind of indefinite scaling but require more and more of whatever it takes to raise them to keep raising them. This would also allow ways to develop your character without obsoleting current consoles or ships. The idea is you would send to pick a play style and stay with it and evaluate new weapons, powers etc within that content.
Example lets say there is a time based one on gravity well usage where you have used gravity well for 5 total minutes and you get a 1% increase in its damage and duration and then you could get another 1% increase at 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 40 minutes etc. Activate FAW x times and gain a 1% decrease in its power usage. Cannons and Beams would cycle faster as you used them more, whatever damage type you where using would gain the same kind of bonus to its special effect where it was more likely and more intense to occur. This way there would not be so many cookie cutter builds because people would end up specialized over time and those bonuses would be enough for them to not jump to the flavor of the month.
The third thing I would like to see is exploration. This one should be procedural generation of worlds based on a bunch of random parameters when first found but those numbers would be stored so the world would remain persistent after that. So you could find new worlds with different levels of technology, races etc on it with proceduraly generated quests and that world would remain so others could go there. What I would like to see from these places is small passive bonuses that you learn from the various places you encounter for both ground and space combat. Maybe after exploring on an alien planet you find some ancient ship and you see its shields have a slight difference to your own and after having your DOFFs research it you learn how to increase the resistance of your shields to plasma damage by 1% or something like that.
1. More Diplomacy options
2. Gamma Quadrant content
3. Xindi!
As someone who loves basically everything about Star Trek, it's hard to come up with things I wouldn't like to see. Perhaps Dilithium nerfs or more lock boxes (even then, Cryptic has to make money somehow).
1. Romulans to have better singularity uses with the cores themselves, its a joke stop it please I beg you at this point
2. Nemesis Uniform for the Romulans....6 months still waiting
3. Being able to place trophies on my beautiful romulan interior along with maybe 2 new interiors to purchase as well
things not to see
1. Borg faction, stop asking for it already the idea is just ludicrous
2. Copy paste in overdrive like it has been these last 6 months
3. Content to be released UNFINISHED, ya don't shy away like that season 8 we know it was you who did it.
Can we at least let them finish Season 8 first?
...or is assuming that will happen overly optimistic?
DON'T want:
Kit system rewamp
Le Borg faction (What a nonsense...)
More rep systems
No more gamebreaking things like Cryo immobilizer or cloud with Dampening Field
If there is level cap increase than make it so it won't have an impact over existing ship and weapon tiers.
No more republics
Thanks
[Combat (Self)] You lose 6549 (7572) Cold from the torment of the underworld.
In-game handle @Janetza
1.) Make STO for tablets.
2.) A lot more storyline missions.
3a.) Stop making Cybernetic Implants, Voth Chips, Radiation Reports and the like from taking up bank or inventory slots. These should be numerically counted just like Omega Marks and Dyson Commendation.
3b.) A pet only slot for captains, bridge officers, and ships.
I would not like to see :
1.) Lockboxes that are not worth it. Lockboxes need to have more than just 1 item in them, more Lobi, and better odds of getting the purple ships. They are not worth the key right now.
2.) More ships, equipment, and traits that make Tactical captains even better. There needs to be more equity with engineering and science.
3.) No more stupid races for ships like Winter Wonderland and Risa. Make it quicker and less annoying to get these promotional ships.
Honestly?
Not sure really, but here is my best guess.
-More story content / re-do crappy stuff
-More PvEs for grinding
-Improved Reputation (don't ask me how)
Less
- Factions I think
-Alien ships in the C-store
- The fact that Xindi are not in game - see my sig
I hope STO get's better ...
