HI i am just here to type my observation on Undine battle zone and have a few taughts of you guys saying what you think about it.

Needed to say i really like Revamped Borg/Undine Missions and the Undine STF-s are not so shabby either.

But the Battlezone of Undine in Sphere Space is total uber ripoff of season 8 and it sucks really really bad. I cant express myself what disappointment i feel, you simply DROPPED the ball on that with your laziness & don't you dare say: "We didn't have time.", cause you were having time and besides you did prolong the launch of season 9 for 1 month later then it was scheduled.

What? Was it so hard to make The Undine battlezone in Fluid Space, and maybe drop in ground battlezone with Undine not that stupid half revamp mission of ground STF which is by the way worse then it was before.

    What half-revamped STF? If you are talking about terradome, it doesn't even exist atm...

    Because they were supposed to add a Voth Zone in Season 8.5 or 9, but their direction changed. People were expecting the Voth Zone to come out since Season 8. The Voth Zone just got repurposed as the Undine Battlezone.

    First of all what you said there i do agree with that. Second basicly all they did is copied the exact same sh$* they did for the Voth Battlezone and i was ok with that since it didnt really bothered with me. And Lastly speaking about the mission of "Terradome" i wonder why they ignored it when they were redoing the UNDINE and basicly Season 9 is about them so why not bring it back!

    Anyway, Season 8 and 9 are the exact same thing more the Reputation wise. All the other stuff was good meaning ESD remake, story, mission revamped, and other little stuff here and there. But for me i expect something very big at Season 10 and NOT something about grinding, Reputation, and more STF give us something new that we have never seen before.

    Just to tell you this is my opinion and the first paragraph is to respond to the OP and the second is what STO have done and what to do to make me happy.

    Your post does not make any sense. how is putting it inside fludic space any less lazy than putting it in the dyson sphere? its no harder its just a design choice.

    it sounds like what you mean to say is you would prefer fludic space as a backdrop for the mission. well thats just personal opinion of what you want the mission to look like. nothing to do with work ethic. fludic space is probably the easier of the two backdrops anyway. the point is to imply the undine are gaining a foothold inside the sphere and have a beachhead for which to launch further attacks rather than having us attacking their space which from a story point is something we are trying to avoid.

    you then simply want them to drop in a ground zone like its 5 minutes work and then you say they are not allowed to use 'we did not have time'. unless you happen to sit in their office i dont think you are qualified to say whether they really had time or not. any extra time they do have wont just be wasted, it will used for future content like any updates to the summer event or expansion 2 coming later this year. they have stuff on their computers that we dont see yet. there may very well be a ground battlezone with the undine in development or in planning, but if they dont have time, then they dont have time.

    they did not delay the launch either. i dont know where you are getting that information from. they always said april for its launch. typically that is a month or two sooner than most spring seasons actually launch so they gave themselves less time than usual.

    finally its a different stf. its nothing to do with terradome.

    My understanding was that Terrordome was a buggy mess that Gozer was unable to fix, which was why it was removed instead of being remastered. It is also no longer compatible with the current STO storyline (given Sulu is now back at ESD).

    Instead, we got a new interesting Undine infiltration mission (using the Bajor map!) and a pair of challenging and well-designed space STFs. I cannot fault Cryptic for that.

    Nor can I really fault Cryptic for the Undine Battlezone; assuming the completion issues are fixed. While it has a similar basic setup to the Voth ground Battlezones, I've found that playing them is a different experience.

    And Tro...you do know we are getting a big expansion, right?
