First of all, more PVE, more STF's! STO needs at least 20 more ground and 20 more space PVE's! Better reward system. Cheaper upgrade, atm it is a dilithium sinkhole. Updated olda ships with intel and command seats (defiant fe).
Considering how the last time they polled us, and did absolutely nothing for or about it. (Krenim anyone?) Can we really trust that they wouldn't do this again? Especially considering all the other times they've polled and done something else entirely?
Yeez, do you think they can just press a button and the Krenim are part of the game? It takes months to create a new race, write the story of their involvement and creating the mission telling it. There was a clear hint in "Dust to Dust" that the Krenim might soon be part of the game (Voyager's secret mission). So stop your nagging and be patient. :rolleyes:
I voted for exploration missions. Mind you, that does not mean single player missions which just require you to run from one corner to the other of the map 4 times to "explore" the map. What I mean is bring back the equivalent of randomly-generated, open-end game content. That's what makes games reach a lifespan of decades.
You had a major selling point with the genesis engine back in the day. Work on that and don't argue "the quality of the missions was bad" - well, work on it so it isn't bad anymore. Have players solo or in teams explore strange new space and ground maps with random objectives and things to happen, there are plenty of examples in this forum alone how something like this could look like.

Thanks for this poll, but you're missing what I think is an extremely important option:
In canon, dilithium was used as fuel for ships.
While I can understand that trading fuel for valuable commodities is a thing that could easily happen in the future when money isn't a thing and people work/get killed by exploding consoles to better themselves exclusively, I simply cannot accept that ships run forever on no fuel.
It violates both canon and thermodynamics.
I propose that dilithium be used whenever your ship moves, including transwarping and mission cutscene travel.
If you run out of dilithium, you can either proceed at impulse speed only (canonically, all ships have fusion backup generators). It should take about 12 hours to cross a sector map at impulse, to keep the scale of STO in keeping with the vast scale of the Star Trek Universe; or you can summon your racial freighter, which will take the highest value upgraded item of gear on your ship in exchange for 1/3rd of the upgrade dil value. If you have a bunch of stuff at the same upgrade level (I run all Mk XIV gold beams, for example), only one would be taken.
#1 Feature Freeze
#2 Eliminate Bugs
#3 Rethink your datacenter design
#4 wait for feedback
#5 think about new content/mission/whatever when all of this is done....
Geben Sie jemanden einen Fisch und Sie ernähren ihn für einen Tag; lehren Sie jemanden zu fischen und Sie verlieren einen verlässlichen Kunden.
#1 Exploration
Add a foundry option to create new exploration specific content. Options will be limited depending on sector. Bring back exploration zones but update it with this content. Maps picked will be based off of top voted from foundry system. Make it easier to sort regular and exploration foundry missions.
#2 Fleet activities
content only accessible through your fleet starbase?
#3 Foundry
make it easier to make maps, content, and linking multiple maps.
add more details so we can have more realistic maps
#4 Episodes
Update old missions
#5 PvP
PVP zones have all abilities reduced. This keeps PVP nerfs from hitting PVE content. You can then adjust the % in order to balance PVP easier.
How about fixing the crafting system !
who the hell wants to waste hours trying to make equipment when there is no guarantee you will get the weapon you want/need
40 attempts at making a decent beam array for an alt not one hit X3 , mostly got pvp junk all just got vendered
If you could guarantee the out come of the mods on weapons etc it would make it worth while crafting.
Well if they do something based on this poll, I am glad they already did the Top 3. I was suprised by thier infograph that there are over 80K Foundry missions. I would have never gussed that looking at the Foundry UI.
I was torn between Exploration and Foundry, but went with Foundry becuase there is already so much content there wiating to be played.

This is a good idea, but maybe just have it so transwarping costs dil instead of ec?
With the changes to sector space that are coming, people should enjoy flying from place to place not having to zone all the time, so a higher cost should be placed on transwarping.
The Vesta (which is an excellent ship) was put into the game from novels and we saw dilithium used many times as fuel on the shows.
It absolutely can and should happen. Dilithium is fuel and it wants to be burned :cool:

:rolleyes: dilithium isnt a fuel, its a magical catalyst for controlling the reaction of the actual fuel. deuterium (mater), and antideuterium (antimater), in the warp core to create plasma, that the warp engines and everything else on the ship uses like electricity.
they have technology to recrystallize dilithium almost indefinitely, ships tend to carry years worth of deuterium in giant slush tanks, it can be convert it into antideuterium at about 30% efficiency, and the bussard collectors draw in any useful stellar gas wherever the ship is.
things to make us go are not a scarcity inside the boarders the game takes place in.
In my opinion the heart of star trek where always the stories and the characters.
How is best known... to boldly go where no one has gone before...
So i prefer new missions, new explorations, new worlds to discover.
See at much of the foundries.
There are more than enough examples for fantastyc real star trek missions.
By the way at this place many thanks to the creators of foundries all over the world.
Thanks for reading and regards from earth-germany-bavaria.
I agree with others that I would like to put them in an order and not just vote for a single one
For myself it'd be:
1. More episodes
2. More foundry functionality (the latest addition of giving a popup of the top 3 foundry missions on a given location is awesome)
3. Exploration missions
4. More fleet functionality
5. More PvP Queues

FSM grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of everyone who pissed me off along the way.
with the limited option of that poll i only picked foundry.
the rest of it would be needed but not what they suggesting.
PvP ques are not the answer it needs to be fixed or else any new ques will just be dead. now the only way to play is fed vrs fed with the unbalanced ship traits now especially.
exploration would be nice, but with them saying the galaxy map is getting revamped, we will have to wait and see.and as we are not all feds we need a conquer option along with the feds explore option.
fleets? lol yeah be nice but some are not even in fleets and work there would exclude some people altogether and would likly come with even more dil draining requirements that are simply too expensive to obtain these days.
and episodes. nope not with the current trend of one mission for all. feds in sure love it. but KDF the whole string of DR mission stunk to all but the whitest of knights. so if new episodes follow those lines please dont waste the time it just makes you look lazy.
we need some quality of life/gameplay improvements not more gimmics. bugs galore
thats it from your picks. my biggest pic would be BUG fix. please its 3 years i believe since i could use the costume slots i PAID FOR on my kdf. please fix it or just refund my zen for that purchase, and remove the option for kdf.
and i dont play fed or rom but ship balance atleast in traits kdf and roms need some real science choices. and intel. we have what one intel ship? and no science ships at all at t6 and i mean commander sci boff seating.
I really think your missing a chance to make some $$$$ here and improve the game for us all.
ship yards be it fleet or homeworld. let us so a ship upgrade any t5/u to t6 for 3k zen or a bucket load of dil
but have it with build your own refit options not body or hull just boff seating ,weapon layout, console slots and so on.
like cruiser options
one commander boff ( what ever we choose)
2lt commander boffs (what ever we choose)
2 lt boffs (what ever we choose)
and one ensign (what ever we choose)
to turn a seat universial we lose one seating below it so if we want a lt uni seat we lose the ensign seat
we want a uni commander seat we lose a lt commander seat that sort of thing.
weapons (for cruisers only smaller hulls different options)
allow 8 weapons let us choose if its 5 fore 3 aft or 4/4
console slots let us pic the layout. but only allow 5 in any one category max
and a standard set of trait options to pick for ship class type.
that alone would allow players to finally get the ships we want buy upgrading what we have. create diversisty out the yinyang.
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.
Sort of in order, but I would really like to know more about what you mean.
Exploration Missions - missions? How about an Exploration System, rather then a handful of missions, a whole expansion about exploration.
More Episodes - always welcome.
More PvP Queues - PvP Queues are rather useless until bug fixing and balance are addressed, both of which I notice are not on the list of things to work on.
More Fleet Functionality - What kind functionality are we talking about here? UI revamp, another holding?
More Foundry Functionality - Again, what are we talking about here? More assets, revamp of the building system?
I voted exploration because honestly that's at the heart of Star Trek but all of the rest are relevant as well and I hope will all get some attention this year as well.

"Can Anyone remember that more exploration will only mean more patrol missions and doff assigments"?
I vote for a new episodes, but honestly I really would like to see cardassian faction. Since Romulan story is majon disappointment for me, I hope Cardassians will be made correct, not like the republic, which is basicly federation with a new skin. Game really need truly evil faction...
Frankly, I voted for exploration, because this game is a joke without it. That was what Star Trek is about and I'm sure there are plenty of people who's first impressions of this game include the chance to explore. Actually, I know this is a case because of the sheer number of people I've had to tell that it doesn't have exploration at all any more.
I was tempted by Fleet Functionality though, I'd love to have an expansion on the fleet system that made them more useful. Using the Starbase Holodecks for direct foundry access, shooting ranges and areas to test new gear, the ability to customise the interior and exterior of our holdings to some degree, making our own uniforms for the fleet personnel and so on and so on.....
Those two options I feel would add the most to the game at this point, and most of those options could actually be interlinked which would add some dynamics to the game.

I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
Being the skeptic that I am I can see fleet functionality being the winner here even if it the least popular in he poll. And with that functionality doesn't come with ways to earn fleet marks with pve queues but a new holding and dil sink.
Cryptic listen ? asking the players what they want ! Like the Kremin and ending up with the.Vaadwar

It was actually Insurrection, if memory serves. A comment about their current situation when preparing for a meeting with the Evora.
