re-edited my post and altered it a bit. u may would do me the favor to do so as well ?
While I feel like you had a legitimate concern, I've edited.
indeed i don't think even that is happening (room-lockup). statistically seen i'd bet on they will stay with the pattern, just as the way the questions are asked already implies :mad:...
Well...considering that we DO have a new EP, and I am seeing some different interactions occurring, I felt like it couldn't hurt to at least put the suggestion out there, that they sit down and do a detailed read-through of the comments and not just the metrics.

pvp is dead and cannot be salvaged in a ptw type of game like this
it cannot be balanced
Real planetry exploration and then colonization is what this game REALLY needs to be star trek
Exploration
Then colonization
This the end game content this game needs the most
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
PvP is never going to be a great part of this game, it's about time to face the truth.
Battle of Chin'toka, Second Battle of Chin'toka, Earth-Romulan War, Battle of Deep Space Nine, the short Klingon-Federation war after Khitomer Accords were nullified, Battle of Bassen Rift; shall I continue?
Star Trek has a huge amount of battling as well: NPCs are too stupid to handle it, players can potentially be smart enough to represent a true challenge for you. STO isn't fit for exploration, and even if they do it's going to be some randomly generated content, or even worse in limited amount: they'd need to recreate at least half of the galaxy to make room for enough species to not burn through the content in a few weeks.
The game content is meant for combat; traits, weapon upgrades, specializations. Since PvP didn't receive any love in 5 years, let it get revisited for god's sake.
I have to agree with many others that say stability should be added to this list. I know that development keeps the money coming in, but if your game is DCing players every 15 minutes, you will eventually lose a lot more money in the long run.

i just was about to drop something like "cuuuute, all this hope. reminds me of when i was young (gamewise)" , but it wouldn't be appropiate and actually dropped on the wrong person ...
indeed that's a valid point. but that ep has a lot of educational stuff to his staff to apply, at least it seems so from my bittered perspective and *points on earlier posts in this thread*.
but true, new ep with hopefully new agenda he can hopefully carry through against the odds he may faces. best of luck from here for that, seriously!
With the Borg threat in mind, Starfleet stages a war-game simulation pitting Captain Picard and the Enterprise against Commander Riker and the eighty-year-old starship Hathaway.
This is to anyone who thinks PVP is not "Trek".
EDIT:
I never considered PVP to be a true battle between factions rather than being Wargames. Something like training.
how about some balancing between the Factions? Playing Starfleet online is fine for some, but I want my actual Star Trek experience. I want the KDF having better ships and Klingon boffs with space traits. I want to see Teir 6 intel science and engineering ships for the KDF and RRF. Klingon boffs with space traits. Seriously folks, it's not that hard.
That's why we shoot NPCs in episodes and exploration missions.
So why start now? :P
ok... st3 battle, st6 battle, like any st movie goodies/baddies battle... there were characters involved, not stupid and worthless npc's...
and before now one comes up with "ey, missions": in those in the end u also fight nothing but stupid npc's! not those smart villains we know since kirk kirked his way through the galaxy!
indeed i met a ton of "evil" and very smart(!) villains in my pvp-career that ended up on my friends list. at a time i not really was interested in interaction with anyone in here (some bad online experiences way before lol)...
and now here i am, part of the best sub-community i could ever have think off. oh wait, true: cryptic already drove most of em away with their non-pvp-at-all(-yet?!) policy :mad:...
This is a tough one, I really miss the old Exploration missions (buggy as they were, they were fun), although... Fleet functionality is pretty basic right now, I would love to see new features added to fleets, perhaps a Message board? (hint, hint lol)
The episode missions are good right now, I expect there will be more in the future so no issues there, and I'm not really much of a PvPer so I don't really care much that it's horrible right now...
The game content is meant for combat; traits, weapon upgrades, specializations. Since PvP didn't receive any love in 5 years, let it get revisited for god's sake.
Have you got any idea how much work this would be? They would basically have to restart from scratch. Balancing would be the greatest issue. Then they need to create some interesting new maps for ground and space. And THEN they need to get enough people interested in actually doing PvP.
Of course insted they could created some sort of PvP "light" in which only a handfull of abilities can be used and no special consoles. Or even better, ship-tier based pvp combat. Mirandas, Oberths, NX's and Constitutions against a whole fleet of Tier 1 BoPs and T'Varos :cool: Now THIS would get me interested in PvP.
found the old poll . actually i have to correct myself: pvp made it onto no4! though to note is, that things like crafting only received like a 3rd of the votes pvp got and no1-3 are ingame for a long time by now!
You have a build. You think it is good, you made it after all. I mean, it must be epic at crunching AI!
But another player's ship of the same class if challenged directly in pure 1v1 will melt through your defenses, while countering every attack.
What defines that your ship is good? What's the point of having spec points or even a T6 ship, if the content can be done with cheap mirrors? You're demonstrating your power to... moving HP bags. So epic you must be!
Surgical Strikes... well yuk! 50k raw shots to kill 'em down! They're so cool when they explode, my ship is so powerful!
...so you don't mind if I do the same but on your ship from mine? I mean, I'm absolutely sure that the PvErs in here (because the above doesn't apply to pre-DR PvPers that wrote in this thread, aka many) if facing even just my Tempest would cause no harm, while I have fun raising the kill counter.
But who cares right? Their ships are awesome at PvE!
Keep in mind over half (a conservative estimate) the PvP population has already quit the game out of frustration. Had PvP not been neglected in the first place, the number of people voting for it would be far greater.
Give people reason to come back and you'll get more accurate numbers.
Again, this is why there are enemy NPCs in episodes.
really nice how u left the most important backings out of that quote :rolleyes:... smart, evil, characters, villains?!?!.... does those go along with the impression npc's make to u in this game?!... if so u may should check someone to test ur senses ...
and those are only the examples and backings directly out of the ip! i really not will go on with all the others more than good reasons, not will take the time for nor got the will to explain somethin i got a clue about to someone who is not interested in anything but to troll something he obviously has no clue about.... even if u've ever been into pvp it seems like looong ago. i really hope i won't be ur way in like 2 years and if nothing good comes to pvp within that time...
and as i back my points up u bring nothing but "meeeh, pvp". i'm so tired off posters like u: no clue what they're talking about, no valid points, nothing but "meeeh, pvp".... statements like these really go align with the concept of an online-game...

Bugfixing!!!
... And, also, something about the DPS race.

again also like the rest fix more bugs in the systems it is abotu 5 year and i got feeling that 5 years nothing or less time working on servers...
You voted for.......*gasp*......exploitation?!!??
In the words of the immortal Captain Jack Sparrow: Sorry mate, had to do it! :P
I'd be happy to see any of these things happen, though. Even PvP, and I don't do PvP.
The episode missions are good right now, I expect there will be more in the future so no issues there, and I'm not really much of a PvPer so I don't really care much that it's horrible right now...
