don't give us the same old bull like you did with the last expansion, you basically just took the same old formula and pasted a new skin on it.
granted there are some new things like new command ships and new Tiers of ships. but that's just the same stuff only further advanced. the boff training is new and I like it.
but the majority of this "new" stuff is just the same as it has always been.
give us something we can do that isn't the same old grind, give us something like exploration, hell if it is at all possible, set a donation goal where you'd ask for funds to develop an entirely new exploration system, one where each ship has a goal, and something meaningful can be drawn out of it.
give us Latinum uses, business opportunities, fleet territories, anything to break up the dull monotony that is the STF's and as empty as they are they're still the only thing to do with friends apart from some story missions.
give us a PVP revamp! give us competitive maps! something like a puzzle or defend the rings kind of game where we compete in teams. the latest story mission has some cool obstacles that can be converted into a full on competitive map!
heck if cryptic is strapped for cash then freaking make a goal system and ask for it, I'm positive that people will pay for the development of content, I know newbies and fail whales that'd pay out the nose for an exploration system in a free star trek 3d game (there are several well done 2d versions out there and one extremely good text version). And when I say I know people, I don't mean my friend billy bob and his cousin fred, I mean entire sites and forums dedicated to star trek. I mean entire forums on Steam with people looking for a free exploration game and good free star trek games ( I recomend STO but they don't like MMO flavor). I know they talked about it in the past, but surely there has to be some loophole with this.
I'd ask these questions to one of the administration persons of cryptic but I'm certain they've got their email blocked to avoid the hate from the forums. shame too, used to be able to talk to Sthal before he stepped down.
One of the few things I like about PWE is that all content is free. They might insist heavily on players spending money because of the various dilithium sinks, but I can do all the Foundry content, STFs, and queues that I want without spending a cent. In other F2P games, you have to spend money to play the newest content. Because of this ideal, PWE won't use any crowdbacking services to create new content.

there comes a point where the new becomes standard in the budget, so in other words we'd get the same stuff only reskinned because the budget will allow it.
but if they open to crowdbacked funding they can bring in real new stuff like exploration, new servers, even new employees for certain new stuff.
First we start with:
"I want this, I want that, You will make more money if you would .., I think this is a great idea when..."
and it closes with:
"You won't do it anyway because you are incompetent, the management should be replaced, the game loses players, I don't play anyway.."

where did I say the closing you mentioned?
they've remarked numerous times they can't exactly make Exploration because of lack of funds, same for a dozen other most requested features. they even remarked they could open a crowdfunding kind of opening for these kinds of things.
and I would state that they WILL make more money if they give in an exploration system that ca draw in new and old players alike.

Swimming In the river here is free, but some people travel to the ocean to swim.
Some beaches cost money and some don't however the free ones have more people swimming.
Posting is free in forums , maybe they will get the idea to charge per post.
Then they will decide its bad idea when people find a free place to post.

LOL: What if they backed charged on all posts.
But more people don't post here, so what's your point?
This is a free beach, I don't see more people, just the same ones hiding from the sunlight and playing the role of "Ahab". Explain again how free beaches relate to STO and the poster you quoted.

This is where you are mistaken.... Exploration does not guarantee revenue, if it did, Cryptic would have already done something with it...
The attitude 'make it and they shall come' does not always ring true...
well exploration is the flavor of the year, like zombies were the flavor of the last 5 years.
