    I restarted to play STO a couple of weeks back, pushed my main toon through the rep grind and then made a Romulan toon and pushed him through the reps.

    I won't do the reps with my other two toons any way, so I'm probably as prepared, as I can be and honestly: There isn't much to do in the game anyway. I play like the Borg STFs with my Romulan once per day and that is about it.

    I need to run a few more Borg STFs to get my 3 piece set all at once. I'm glad I will get to pay a bit less for my MK XII MACO!!

    God, yes, THIS. There was one thing I hated about the Rep Gear and that was the ungodly amount you needed to pay for it, especially in EC and Expertise. About 180K EC and nearly 200K Expertise just to get a full set.

    /sarcasm I'm not ready! I still want to endlessly grind the same old missions I've been doing for months! :rolleyes:

    One can never be ready for Season 9, it's impossible. It's like a spiritual journey one has to undertake in order to cleanse one's soul. Season 9 brings enlightenment to all those who linger in the dark and have lost all hope. Season 9 shall become the shining example of our splendid civilization for generations to come.

    In short: Whatever...

    Ready?? why we will not be ready? im ready since ages ago, because i am not really expecting it. Another game-breaker can be very welcome to rich people and people ready to start throwing again more cash, but not for people who only wants to have fun.

    The new "half" season will be again, boring and not focused on having fun, as cryptic always do. So, yes, im ready by far lol, since i dont think i will "touch" the new rep system at all. :P

    We'll all take the nerf in stride, unless its heavily gamebreaking.

    While I'm thinking about it; I honestly cannot decide whether to just wait a day and watch the season premiere of "Deadliest Catch" and have a chance for any bugs to get ironed-out or risk seeing a broken game upon logging-in. :confused:

    I am absolutely ready for Season 9. I leveled a new "Cardassian" character this weekend (Really a KDF-Rom Alien) and got a Galor class. Got her through all Sphere of Influence and Step Between the Stars as well as the introductory Dyson quests. She's all set to be my first Counter Command character.

    Checklist of cool stuff:
    -New ESD, best map in the game hands down.
    -New Featured Episode, awesome!
    -Kits put into the tailor, fantastic. Using kit pieces and the Odyssey uniform you can make an excellent approximation of a Hazard Suit from Elite Force.
    -Rep Changes - fits my playstyle. I have no more than 2 reps done on any one character atm. And at the end of the day I am completely selfish and if it fist my playstyle, then i like it.
    -New queued stuff to do when the mood strikes me.
    -New faces/complexions, which are also in the Foundry btw.
    The Foundry Roundtable live Saturdays at 7:30PM EST/4:30PM PST on twitch.tv/thefoundryroundtable

    I'm just hoping the servers are ready to keep everyone logging in connected. As for the rest, I look forward to seeing how much of an impact all the changes have.

    I wouldn't worry about the servers, unless there's more ISP disruptions that are beyond Cryptic or PWE's control. STO's grown to a point now where no seasonal updates will cause the servers to become over-flooded with traffic ever again. A major expansion maybe, but never again for a seasonal update.

    So... zero interest in Lockbox, and that's gone. Already running best in class gear... done. There's Lobi stuff... but I barely have some so gone that too... Maybe Mirror ships for the sake of giving them a try.

    ill play a bit on space Battlezone till I make rep... get bored of it... Warp away, have a chat with fleet and then all going have a session in PvP together. Or just participating in random 10vs10 match from OPvP channel. There's Ker'rat too! Always a good place to have a good fight when Borg don't get in the way :P

    What keeps me engaged in the game is PvP community and friends as well, and I admit it the storyline.

    But surely not a Lockbox.

    Well season 9 seems great with all those new episodes and pve content but I have to say it doesn't really tickle my fancy for a number of reasons, however let’s start with the good stuff I like the revamp of ESD and the kits should make kit usage a bit more intuitive and am liking the sound of the new Undine content seems to make sense narratively so no issues there plus we have the voice talent of Tim Russ and what trek fan could say no to that lol.

    Now for the not so good elements am quite dismayed to see yet another load of new episodes and pve content which is not dynamic and therefore doesn't affect the STO universe in anyway shape or form which I find to be most boring for it means that no matter how many times you do these things or fight Undine in random red alerts in sector space it won't change anything and that’s sad.

    Cryptic should look at CCP and how they execute really good immersive dynamic content since everything you do in Eve whether its in space or ground in Dust 514 has an effect on the universe as a whole so as a consequence things are always changing which I like since when I've played I never know what’s going to happen and that is most compelling.

    So for me it renders the content utterly meaningless since it won't matter, if Cryptic managed to achieve even half of what Eve has then it would be a start for if they were to change STO so it was dynamic it opens up loads of possibilities like making fleets in the game more relevant and would strengthen the camaraderie of those guilds.

    Another great reason for this is for example say the Undine attack some random planet in the alpha quadrant and when you login you get a priority message from starfleet saying whats happened and you are tasked with the help of your fleet mates together with other fleets combine temporarily to take back this planet and sets off a chain reaction for whatever happens in that encounter decides the fate of that planet for that moment in time. That kind of scenario plays out in Eve on a virtually daily basis for all the factions are always jostling for control over certain areas or planets that have particularly valuable resources.

    Don't get me wrong here am not saying I want STO to become a bad Eve clone or anything like that just they should take some inspiration from other games like Eve or Battle Star Galactica and see what features they could use and thus do them better or spice them up for the purposes of this game. STO would greatly benefit from having a dynamic changing universe and it really would give the sense that the universe we are playing in is alive and bustling instead of being stagnated and stuck in some sort of weird temporal loop where we keep reliving the same stuff over and over again with nothing really changing.

    Lol EVE. I played EVE for a time. I gave up when I realised it was costing me £10 a month to watch my skills increase before I could fly a ship that was worth a damn, mine asteroids or get slaughtered any time I went anywhere that didn't have Concord because every single lo-sec gate is camped.

    The only place i'd rate EVE over STO is Exploration. STO's Sectored map doesn't allow for it, but EVE's wormhole system is impressive.
    You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

    That maybe the case however thats why guilds in Eve are way more relevant than in STO plus in Eve you can purchase ingame time with plex so if your having a bad time financially you have that option to obtain it that way.

    The exploration is by far one of the most wonderful elements of the game and as for getting slaughtered anytime well ya know too bad but thats why joining a guild helps you a lot more because you can ask for help to protect you while your say mining or ferrying cargo. For me that alone is not a good enough reason for me not to play Eve.

    As I said in my previous post another huge appeal to me and many others is the dynamic universe its so great to never know whats going to happen next all the time.

    Cryptic I feel should aspire to make STO's universe be as fluidic if not even better in how it delivers the Star Trek universe in the game. There is only so much you can achieve with adding new fixed story content and ships etc before it gets a bit old and soon you want some meat and potatoes lol.
