STO Map needs another sector block..

I think its time we get another piece of the puzzle. With a New sector we get new planets to explore. New doff missions. Maybe even a new race. The dyson zone should have been part of a new sector block but what we got was just a piece of a sector. I think its been long enough to justify us getting a new one. If not a complete Dyson Sector Block. A complete sector block with at least 4 sectors within like "Gamma Orionis Sector Block". A undine sector block seems resonable at this time also.
The world of STO should always be expanding with the discovery of new planets and new civilizations. Its seems that sto has been on hold for awhile. I think right now is good time to move the game forward with a new piece of galaxy.
Do you think its time that we explorers did what we do best, Explore.

    I believe the upcoming Expansion Pack will be opening up a few new Sector Blocks in the Delta Quadrant - as it is stated to have around as many Missions as LoR.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    It would be cool if they would spruce up the Pelia Sector block. With the focus on Species 8472 this season one would have figured something would have been added, but there is no reason to go there outside of 1 storyline mission.

    we needs dozens of new sector blocks full of planets and systems to explore
    Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
    Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
    Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng

    JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse

    Be nice if they add the missing Federation Alpha Quadrant sectors that they said they was going to add months ago. You know, the ones they said was going to be strictly Foundry door worlds.


    While they are at it, they can as Q to transport Vega to where it supposed to be. :P

    To explore to what end?

    Without Missions on each of those planets the exploration is meaningless. It is not enough for most people to simply go and find a new star. These are Star Trek fans, so when they find the new star they want to discover that it is being eaten by Giant Space Ameba and that the primitives living on the planets are all doomed to die.

    Without the adventure aspect exploration is not really fun - and there is no way to add thousands of new Missions into the game to make exploration seem unique each time.

    Even if you wanted Eve-style exploration you would end up with: go to an area of space and start a scan. This consists of a Doff Mission which takes 3 hours. If you move at any time in that 3 hours you need to start the Doff Mission over again. After the 3 hour scan then you might learn it is an Asteroid Field full of minerals and ores you can mine. So then you start a 6 hour Doff Mission to begin mining - and again, if you move the ship in that 6 hours you need to start all over again. You can keep doing the Doff Mining Mission until the Asteroid Field is mined-out.

    That is certainly an exploration style but it is not really very much fun. Different, yes, fun no.

    Thats the whole point. To what end does someone say they have explored the entire galaxy.
    In sto it should constantly, on a scedule have map increases. You Never stop exploreing. To search out Life and NEW civilizations, to Bodly go where NO man has gone before.

    Since you seemed to have missed the point, exploring without actually doing anything other then flying around in new Sectors is not what an MMORPG is about. Going where no man has gone before is meaningless if there is nothing there once you get there. The point is to go there and do things that you would find in an MMORPG. The game already has exploration if you simply want to do the same handful of things over and over once you get there.

    Pick any of the last 6 Geko Podcasts and start listening. The first mention of the Expansion Pack was back in a December Geko Podcast - which was also right after DStahl's Poll about what Voyager species we would like to see added.

    Since we know the intent for 2014 is to continue into the delta quadrant, it would make sense for them to give us several new sector blocks in that area of space. In fact, Kaol states that the Solanae Dyson Sphere is located near the border of the Delta and Beta Quadrants. We also know that the Jenolan Dyson Sphere jumped some 50,000 Light years from the alpha quadrant, placing it deeper in the Delta Quadrant. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that once the Delta Quadrant is added, we'll see these locations added to the map and possibly have Surface Tension start at the Jenolan sphere rather than the Jouret gateway.
