    Three things huh?

    1) This'll be easy, but customization options for all the Unique Bridge Officers within the game. If Cryptic can't do all of them, then the least they should do is allow customization for the Romulan and Reman ones (from the Cold Front FE Reman and the Embassy Romulans).

    I've created several threads on, and have commented on this many times already, and I've no doubt that a fair number of Devs are aware of this, thus I don't feel the need to go into it in any more detail again. It's pretty self explanatory anyway. This has always been a top desire of mine.

    2) Cardassians, but not as a faction. I've already stated my wish for them, but I would like to see them, preferably as C-Store Bundle Unlock which includes a Cardassian character token, a Hideki Class starter ship, three Cardassian Purple Boffs (one per career), a set of unique costumes, a unique tutorial (starting on Cardassia) and a Keldon Retrofit (or new ship design?) at level #50.

    Said token would be open to any faction, and any future species (that isn't directly aligned to the Federation or Klingon Empire) could also be implemented this way.

    3) Independent Romulans.


    I believe these are all (or at least should be) within the realm of reality.

    Don't quote me on this, but I swear I've read somewhere that this is happening, either for Season 9.5 or ready for Expansion 2.

    3 things i want?

    1. Better exploration
    2. Revamp of the 3 hero ships, they are out dated
    3. More raptors and more warbirds, romluans simply don't have enough ships and well not nearly enough raptors for damn sure.

    1/A complete Romulan faction, which mean an academy, romulan DOFFing, a unique fleet uniform, a security officer on new Romulus,... pretty much everything the other 2 factions are enjoying since the beginning, and the Rom aren't. I don't really want a romulan SB, since I don't want to grind it over again, with even less people.
    Obviously alongside some balance pass (SRO doesn't stack amongst BOFF, no access to allied academy or choose which doff mission to do...).
    2/New Romulus city. At least a bit of it.
    3/Completing what was started, sometimes long ago (club 47 on ESD, what happened to Sela, why are the Tholians suddenly interested in New Romulus artifacts...).


    Oh wait, you said in the realm of reality... Well, I'll redo the list then.

    1/MOAR GRIND
    2/MOAR GAMBLEBOX
    3/MOAR CASH GRAB

    Because this is likely what we will have.

    At this point, since it looks like we're getting a Delta Quadrant expansion with Voyager voiceovers, there's only 3 things I want.

    1. Worf cuts off Jm'pok's fool head and becomes Chancellor by right of badass.

    2. The ONLY Voyager characters who show up are Tuvok and the Doctor. They were the only reasonably competent characters on the show (which probably explains why nobody ever listened to them).

    3. The Kazon are referred to as having been exterminated by some species that was just passing by. Because let's face it, the Kazon are the most incompetent villains ever. Their society is absurdly misogynistic and backwards, they show no capacity for tactical or strategic thinking, technological innovation, or other useful mental traits, and they were ONLY able to take over a ship whose chief engineer was unable to identify manure with a tricorder with the assistance of a spy on the aforementioned ship.

    And even then, they got kicked out by Neelix, who makes Jar Jar Binks look competent and amusing.

    So yeah. Worf as Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, Tuvok and the Doctor show up but nobody else from Voyager unless it's to court-martial Janeway for war crimes, and the Kazon die in a fire and never show up again.

    The Big Dig slightly revamped so that it takes 5 people and offers a 'select a box' and dilithium reward on par with an eSTF. So other players might queue for it.

    All space and ground queues be made open to all factions

    The dailies brought back during the week to encourage other players to play other maps

    Technically speaking, the Doctor is never shown in STO, but we have "news" from him through the path to 2409. But considering a more or less recent tweet from Wang, we'll probably have ensign (or maybe he is captain by now) Kim. He said he'll do some voice-over for STO in august.

    With little luck, and considering the poll where the Krenim won, the Kazon will be hit by a temporal weapon, and removed from existence. Maybe they will be replaced by a more interesting foe in Voyager :D

    1. New fleet holding to balance the economy for a little while.

    2. ( This will never happen as it would take a completely new game engine but one can dream can't they) Dynamic Ship Damage

    3. Good quality minimally bugged content.

    Within realms of reality hmm?
    So nothing for pvp and KDF I guess but more grind and gamble boxes sadly.

    1. New featured episodes. (unlikely)
    2. Bug fixing...especially KDF specific bugs (also unlikely).
    3. No more powercreep (crafting traits, new lottobox things, atb friendly ships like fpe-r, reps/holdings etc.)

    Optional but important imho....no more stupid things like dinos with lasers attached to their heads. :D well krap...within reality...lol.

    I think that there's so much "power creep" in tier 5 because we're getting tier 6 ships soon, and only available by upgrading our tier 5 ships via R&D. After we do, tier 5 power creep will be rendered unimportant as the devs work to balance our ships with tier6 abilities.

    IMO, of course.

    Oh, Ensign Random? Ugh, that dude was so BORING!

    It was like they were trying to duplicate Sulu's awesomeness, without actually getting a good actor or giving the guy they did get any scripts to work with.

    Heh. My family likes to joke that Ensign Kim was good for three things: Getting alien girlfriends who inevitably turned out to be evil and tried to take over the ship, getting kidnapped by aliens, and getting killed and resurrected.

    Oh yeah, i am already thinking on a cutscene, where you can see kazon ships approaching their home planet, and suddenly a Krenim timeship appears from a distant moon and releases the incursion cannon over the planet and the ships near it. Boom, kazon erased from story :D, that will be an epic cutscene, xD.

    And then.. an alliance between the malon and the hierarchy fighting against the Krenim.. hahaha, nevermind, im just thinking on weird things that will make the next expansion interesting..

    Seeing the Malon freighter as a playable ship or the Hierarchy cruiser will be really cool, but not less than seeing the Krenim timeship.. o.O, of course with an awesome weapon included and USEFUL, similar to the thalaron cannon of the scimi but larger and a little narrow.

    1. Interior Ship missions (new randomized dailies such as you find in a starbase or exploration cluster [ie. diplomacy] that involve running your ship, interacting with your crew (random NPC's and Boffs) and perhaps most importantly dealing with various alien races that don't often find their way into a featured episode in a format familiar to the TV shows) as a replacement for the old exploration system (that could be continually augmented with foundry content created under this ship interior format, and would furthermore only require a couple of revamped interior spaces (FED and KDF equivalents of the current romulan interior) as the major investment.)

    2. Delta quadrant species introduced into the standard boff pool (ie. not tied to lobi or any other special store front.)

    3. More alien customization options, more types of alien customization options.

    4. Revamp of basic visual and audio effects (standard ship explosions [compare ours to the Enterprise D stardrive section warp core breach in generations, or just the quality of the singularity core breach], phaser sounds [compare ours to the first contact battle scene], ect.)

    5. A mission with Tuvok and Neelix. You might think this would be cringe worthy, but that's the point.

    1. Auto fill

    For both reputations, Doff'ing and holdings.

    Just charge us the EC and I will log back in, in 6 weeks when the reputation time gate is over.

    Or since mirror event was killed let my new alt auto doff the levels out because between you and me no way in hell I am playing a single one of them horrible story missions ever again.

    Alternately the application they promised 3 years ago that will let you do doff etc without logging in.


    Then for my last 2 I will vote exploration and pvp - neither of which I care about, but since they haven't made a decision I agreed with in over 2 years I am going with the second best which is making other people happy

    That's right! Let's play the game without actually play the game. Might as well throw in auto EC gain as well as auto mission replay too.

    Seriously, I am hoping for a number of things to be added.

    1. Fed/KDF/Romulan colony area, where we see player created towns.

    2. Crafting will enable the creation of non-bound player created items. Ranging from shuttles (generic) to high level green/blue gear.

    3. A sector of PvP area where the colonies will be located. There will be safe travel routes and the orbital areas will be heavily guarded. This can enable the creation of a independent trader/merc/pirate faction.

    4. A brand new race, but there will be familiar races such as the Kazon, Hierarchy, Malon, Viidian, Talaxian, and the Vaadwur. A Tsunkatse traveling ground pvp arena.

    5. An event system similar to Neverwinters where there will be a similar store. No re-que timer.

    6. STO's version of transmog (it is in Neverwinter)

    7. No more lock box ships, but unique bridges, unique boffs, unique doffs, costumes (this can come in pieces), crafting plans (weapons, kits, shuttles), and Zen Store ship upgrades to lock box level (Refit token).

    8. Get rid of the Lobi store.

    9. A revamp foundry ui similar to Neverwinters (that one is very player friendly)

    10. Take out the long event grinds and take out the anniversary grind.

    11. Add a number of monthly weekend events where you can come back the next month.

    12. Give us more social hubs, where the hubs have unique vendors. Like Bolarus or Ferenginrar.

    Who said anything about the game playing itself


    It used to be you had to manually put in hypo's etc one at a time

    They finally killed that a year later we all remember how painful and useless it was.

    You still have to earn the actual input.... I am just saying please save people the 15,000 clicks it takes to put 77 doff's into a project.


    Mirror event part I can only speak for myself but I think the story missions are the weakest point of the whole game to a degree new people quit.

    So let's get real here and come to terms with people needing a way to level.

    Since time gating for whatever fantastic reason is how developers want it, let people do it as you do it in eve.

    They keep their timegate in there and I will be back in 3-4 weeks when character is 50

    Same with reputation and so on

    Honestly, there isn't much they could add that'd make me happy besides maybe a level increase and a ton of new missions.

    Beyond that, and I'm FINALLY jumping on the bandwagon, a massive upgrade to pvp would be fun :P

    [I]as far as im concerned what ever the next season maybe how about not doing it instead just add interiers to ships and spend the whole time fixing all bugs and problems that are in game.. that be better then adding to game and having much more bugs or adding bugs and problems to what is there now...... make it a fix season instead and by adding interiors people can get something out of it .........[/I]

    PWE has nothing to do with the development of the game. That work is for cryptic and no one else. There are other ways to lead this game and it will generate even more profits, but for some weird reasons, cryptic seem stucked in a destructive behaviour since eons ago. My guess is, they dont want to risk anything, since they are already obtaining a huge benefit from the game, so, trying to ask em to "improve" the game will never work, unfortunately, they must have the next whole year already planned, nothing interesting, no fixing critical bugs, just more grind , more content, and more toys to play with. Always the same, but we are already used to it!!.

    For this, i dont expect or ask for anything. I just play what i have, the time we have. Eventually, i will probably stop playing , because everybody has a patience limit, but for now, we need to stuck with what we have.
