im very curious to see what'll happen with my lockbox/lobi ships, MK XII MACO, MK XII FLEET, and what else i have spend a lot of money on over the years
They'll be the same, but fall behind like the bug ship. It used to be THE best ship in game...but it became a victim of the power creep.
My Old Blog about things that could and should have been added when I wrote it. Not sure what I want to do with it now. I'll just keep it available now that most of it is outdated.
There is a dev Q&A happening soon on the livestream.
EDIT: Level 50 to 60 and story based content confirmed.
Mark MK XII and MK XIV confirmed.
New methods of captain advancement via specialization trees.
Many new races to encounter.
Tier 6 ships introducing new class of starships and new class of boffs.
Voyager interior (I'm told the option with or without Neelix's kitchen.)
Better intrepid model
Exploration
Homeworld of a rarely seen species.
Many new ships for all factions.
New ships having new powers.
There were new concepts of new world art.
Tim Russ will return as Tuvok. Several more Voyager cast will be joining. Garret Wang the next confirmed actor reprising his role as Harry Kim.
Harry Kim will be captain of the Rhode Island.
Yes finally THIS was definitely needed for the game but i'm afraid it will be full with bugs, but anyway I can't wait to season 10 thats for sure only trouble have to redo my whole build again ...
I was just finished with it LOL. Wonder what they did to it ....

So every piece of gear and equipment we've ground for and brought will now become obsolete?
I'm sure there'll be an upgrade path. There's a command in the game which opens up an item upgrade facility which is clearly Work in Progress. I posted a thread about it yesterday but it got straight up deleted... Try Reddit.
Anyhow, it's about damn time we got a level cap increase.
I think they are going to see a drop in ship sales if that is indeed the case... One thing is for sure... I won't be buying any new ships untill I can upgrade the ones I have for free.
Don't count on it. Look how they "upgraded" the Galaxy. The old one is still there, and the new updated one costs more. There's no such thing as a free upgrade, man.

Anyhow, I'm pretty excited. Not sure why all the doom for T6, seems to make sense after a level increase. So, the mighty T5.5 go the way of the dodo for something newer and more powerful. That only means T6.5 lockbox ships, makes sense.
Anyhow, atm, I'm looking for more new story content. Right now I'm just logging on for my 6000 (9000 during event) crafting xp in various schools.
Free upgrades? Not gonna happen (Cryptic needs to gouge us for more money). But possibly a discounted upgrade, which I hope includes the ability to upgrade our existing T5 ships.
Then they are going to be facing a lot of angry players, because people literally spent hundreds of dollars for ships that are now obsolete. Especially their Fleet ships that they paid a bit extra for.
The reaction in our voice chat just now was one of utter disgust. After all the money, all the effort and not least the patience we've had with Cryptic, and they go and do this?!
I'm sorry, I've always said no to a level cap increase because that's simply not on. We'd best be able to upgrade our gear, for free because right now a lot of my fleet aren't amused. You guys couldn't get end-game right at 50, what's going to be any different at 60? The games going to become even more of a joke than it is now!
I'm sorry, I'm usually more level-headed than this but I seething right now :mad:

I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
Good we getting new ships. Bad the old ones will have to be upgraded or you won't use them anymore. I have to really see how these new ships are. So far my current ships blows up anything on the map so I'm not too worried about something a little stronger.
New level of gear, glad I'm leveling up crafting. Maybe by this time next year I will be upgrading my equipment to handle the new stuff.
New Boffs, nah I will keep my current ones. They are like family, I'm not trading them off.

If you are cureious people watch Trek Radio TV here you see it all even the part with Garret Wang. Just check in. Below here I'l put the link so you can wacht if you like !!!
I see people already complaining without knowing the details.
However, I'd like to have my T5 ships upgraded. For free. Same goes for C-Store.
Calm down! They've just screwed every single end level player in the game and will continue to do so and for what? They could have worked this differently! I've worked my TRIBBLE to get where i am now and with a single swing of the hammer I've got to go through it all again! Well no thanks Craptic! you can kiss this player good bye and the L/T I was considering purchasing the end of next month!

Correct me if I am wrong: We aren't seeing more Galaxies out there than before, are we?
I still believe they are shooting themselves in the foot on this one.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

Old STO vets are use to this. We went through the grind to get VR MK Xs, VR MK 11s, VR Mk12, then Fleet / Crafted Ultras.
And this is news, how? Trust me, I've been around MMO gaming for quite a few years now, and experienced a lot of the pain and heartache of having to grind new gear after every Level Cap increase. Of course there are people who will be angry. People will be angry without the level cap increase as well. Game needs to move forward. Not stay stuck in 2409 (now 2410).
Feel free to quit if you are upset about the level cap increase. But i'd wager you'll be around for the grind to 60, just like most of us in this thread. Plenty of whiners on other MMOs, who continue playing the MMO they whine about. Nothing new.
Those of you concerned with older ships becoming "obsolete". I would recommend holding off the pitchforks and torches and listen to the Q and A that will be happening soon.
We are going to take care of you guys.

Sorry man... Probably nothing you personally: But I was here when you guys promised that we wouldn lose out on our exploration marks...
You guys aren't exactly a trustworthy bunch when it comes to these "promises".
I'll believe it when I see it... As in SEE it... not just you guys "promising" things.

I don't mind the equipment reset. That's normal in any MMO that raises the level cap. But I DO NOT WANT to mothball my hard-earned C-Store and Lockbox ships, ******nit!

Ha ha bless you and that is good news but expect pitchforks regardless. I recommend an investment in pitchfork umbrellas.

YES!!!
That's what happens in every... single... MMO... with a level cap increase.

Thats probably what that leaked command is supposed to take care of.

What NO I say YES to the level increase

Unless there's some concrete means to upgrade tier 5 ships announced soon, there's not much point in buying one now.

I mean I know the sub model relies upon the level cap increase for sustainability but has any f2p done it before?

By dishing out cash no doubt... Forget it.
How many level cap increases has WoW had? Yep...

Thanks for the info!
