Season 10 ideas and wishes

So, since Delta Rising is approaching fast... let's get ahead of ourselves and talk Season 10, which will be released a few months later.
Which ideas, wishes or fears to you have regarding this new season? Will we stay in the Delta Quadrant? From the looks of it, Delta Rising still only scratches the surface as far as species and possible storylines go.
Krenim anyone?
Devore?
Nacene?
More background to the Voth-Borg war? Maybe actually a visit to Voth space.
I would love to see even more species, while olders being fleshed out.
Have a look at these guys.
Photonophobes with Iconian script. Since Cryptic is in the mood for retcons (Turei vessels in DR), they could have been an ancient servitor race retaining some Iconian culture. Like the Dewans, just without blowing themselves up.
What are your story ideas? Gameplay wishes? General content directions?

Reality is an illusion.
The universe is a hologram.

...That is all. (can't speculate too much on how best to succeed DR without having actually completed it.)
Also, conventionally I think Exp 2 counts as season 10 (ex. LoR = Season 7). Next in line is 10.5, then 11.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
LoR did not count as season 7. We had Season 7 which was the introduction of New Romulus and the NPC Romulans from the faction that would go on to become playable. LoR was originally going to be season 8 before it grew too large to be a season anymore. The expansions can be thought of as a bigger part of a seasonal release, since they fall between them.
The next actual Season if we go on convention would be Season TEN.
there is a storyline element in DR about the krenim, but you may not find the answer you seek in the way you desire. so wait a week you will find out by that means.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
As someone that has recently been playing with sciencey stuff, I couldn't agree more.
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
And please, get those secondary deflectors out by then! As well as adding kits and modules to crafting. And the Romulan plasma weapons! :rolleyes:

I feel stretched beyond the limit with all the crafting and upgrades in terms of resources. So I'd be happy for some deeper storyine/pve content to make the new mountain more scenic to climb so to speak.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Much MU merriment ensues.....
....including T5u mirror ships.
Although I do not think they will have the opportunity to do that though after this expansion for a few reasons I predict will happen. First the way the F2P thing is handled its off a basis of having new players who don't know much about the game paying for stuff until they realize its mostly gimmicks and then if they actually want to be near the top as far as gear/ships they are going to shell out lots more cash or time to do so. Problem is that word gets around a lot quicker these days and things like adventure zones and ques are showing an all time low and player retention to keep existing players is not really high on their priority given the amount of players who have been gone/quit. The result of this is that PWE will take a tighter grip on the reigns so anything that is not federation will be put to bed so then we won't even get new battle cruisers or raptor like this expansion which was a good start but thats not all the classification of ships that makes the kdf what it is.
So overall any future factions as well as romulans and KDF will most likely never see any more development after X2 so expect season 10 to be another raise in level cap and gear cap but not much of anything exciting to come to the game.
SPOILER
I know that they were bombed to oblivion by the Vaadwaur.
But doesn't that make the perfect premise for time travel shenanigans? Restoring the Imperium to the pre-Vaadwaur attacks or something?
Not for a couple of expansions at least.
There's still a couple of places in the Delta Quadrant to be explored, but given how long it has taken them to add new sector blocks to explore I'm not holding my breath we'll get the remaining 2+ areas any time soon.
Ok, can we call LoR as season 7.5 instead of season 7? I think we should because S7 directly leads us to LoR. Cryptic can count DR as S10, if it's so then we will see S10.5 after it.
-Less focus on new content/story/reputation.
-Focus most dev time on the following:

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.
I'm unsure about the Krenim. In the prime universe, they're not considered a threat. People only desire the Krenim for their super duper time ship, and that was one ship that changed the timeline. Short of repeating that story, I don't see how much of a threat the Krenim could be to us, and if Cryptic throw them in without timey wimey wibbly wobbly stuff, fans and gamers will complain.
What I can guarantee we will get between now and then though; more T6 ships.
I know it's unlikely, but I wouldn't mind seeing Cardassians get the Republic treatment. How? I've given this some thought; the Vaudwaar.
They're attacking the Kobali; a species rather sophisticated, and right up there with their technology levels (even rivaling that of the Federation). What if it's all just a front though? The Vaudwaar have those tunnels, and they can (seemingly) travel anywhere? Why not have them show up in Cardassian space, attempting to seize the Cardassian people? This would be a setting for the Cardassian expansion, instead of playing a Romulan fighting the Elachi, you'd be a Cardassian fighting the Vaudwaar.
If anything, LoR was Season 7.5, but wasn't it's own distinct Season.
Dominion would be Expansion #5 I'd say, and that's if that early. That doesn't mean it'll be playable Dominion either, I just can't see that paying off considering the work that would need to be done, all whilst keeping current faction players happy.
I would rather Cryptic (for specific ships only) provide us with a T6 Upgrade. This should be viable for all the Breen and Risian ships, the Oddy/BortaS, and the Vesta - at the very least. I thought you were having the Liberty passed on anyway, to relaunch a different ship with the name?
Maybe this was Cryptic's intentional doing, to save having to do anything on the Krenim in the future?
This! Very much this. I can live without customizable Breen and Jem'Hadar, but locked Romulan and Reman for FED/KDF when they're completely unlocked for the Republic? :rolleyes:
Funny, I'd have considered PvP the useless junk by comparison. At least PvE works. :P

Seconded; it's what I've been saving up mah Purple Mk XII Polarons for.

in fact i didnt want to encourage a spoiler, but with the rabbit out of the hat or genie out of the bottle it seems, fairly little point holding back.
perhaps, but the krenim were eliminated and several races were made extinct by the vaadwuar's conquest and their puppet leaders controlled by those bugs. its possible the krenim doesnt have the technology because of how efficient the vaadwuar have become.
it wasnt the only thing on the table that could be a problem either, the voth become mysteriously silent later in the storyline, so theres yet another angle to this whole thing yet to play out outside the vaadwuar invasion.

actually you are totally wrong there.

happily I started playing half way between season 6 and season 7 so I didn't miss too much, but I still wish I had started playing from day one.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
