Iconian Arc "Patrol Missions"

thay8472thay8472 Member Posts: 6,376 Arc User
How about some "Patrol" missions added to the Iconian Arc showing the Heralds / Elachi etc attacking these civilian targets Kargan went on about? Maybe one for each Quadrant? (Alpha, Beta, Delta)

Show some of the other races fighting back against the Heralds. (Cardassian, Hirogen, Deferi, Breen, Borg, Ferengi, Mirror Universe, Voth, Tholians etc..)

Make the war as epic as the "Tales of the Iconian War" portray it. (Maybe we help the Enterprise?)

Like the Delta Arc.. say.. we need to patrol 4/5 systems per mission. (Andoria, Risa, Nimbus, Japori, Donatu) and help the locals defend their homes from T'Ket and minions.

    No patrol mission but Iconian Red-alert would be perfect (as long as the war is going).
    Don't even understand why it isn't here !!!

    They were okay to run once. Besides I think it was more to do with the Vaadwaur npcs myself... "those ships... so annoying"

    What about Iconian Ra's or a battlezone? Something that'll make us go "oh TRIBBLE... we're at war!" (Until the next rep comes)

    People bitched non-stop about those Delta patrols. I personally feel it was overblown histrionics, but it still happened, I doubt they will make more of those type of multiple patrol wrapper missions again.

    Forum bitching doesn't matter, only statistics. If their behind the scenes stats show them those patrols are getting lots of play, they will make more. If they don't, they won't.

    I'm for it. I also think they should add a ground zone as well....why?, because I find it fun watching my away team monkey stomp Iconian Forces.

    They could also add in other alliances like the Dominion and Breen, both use polaron, far fetched would be Hirogen and Tholian but I think a Refracting Destabilized Tetryon would be neat lol. Recruiting the Hirogen would be interesting because they would certainly deem the Iconians a worthy adversary.

    I have a feeling no one is able to come up with a quality way to use gameplay to portray the nature of the war, at least not in an efficient manner. The only good ideas I've heard would probably take months to create, and anything I can come up with myself just sounds like something I'd play once or twice and never again.

    I'd love a new battlezone. Thing is how would one of those work in this case?

    I'll take any alternative to continuing to plow through the queues for my Iconian marks. A battlezone would be really keen.

    Wasn't saying I agreed with those people Nagus, was just observing that the patrol wrapper missions were not well recieved overall. I liked them, or at least had no problem with them.

    I know you weren't, but you were saying you didn't think more of those missions would be made because of the people bitching on the forums, and that is the point I was addressing in my earlier reply.

    If they threw in some ground and non combat patrols... they might of been recieved better (IMO)

    I do get tired of all patrol missions being space based.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    The problem I had with the patrol missions, and what I saw most other people complain about, was that the patrol missions took too long to complete. I saw some complain that the arc relied excessively on patrol missions to pad out the storyline, but I think that was secondary.

    I agree with both of those complaints, although I still found some fun in blowing things up.

    From what I hear, the final two missions on Kobali Prime give the option of Iconian Marks, haven't taken the time to get any of my characters to it yet, but that is what I hear. I do agree an Iconian battlezone could be good.
    Yep, my current Delta Recruit runs them twice a day. Very fast once they pop. Once for Iconian and once for Delta. Levelled up Iconian from start to finish there (Delta was with sponsorship, but that pretty much too). You can earn two of the Iconian Probes, and two of the Ancient Power Cells (one for each mission) as well. Standing on about 6K of each of those Marks plus about 150 of each of those 'Elite Marks'.

    I would had thought that a few red alerts would pop, only for those at level 60, to do the Iconian engagements... and they'll stay there til you completed the story arc.

    Thinking about it.

    Anything would be nice.

    Heralds' Red Alert - Heralds are attacking Risa.. go save the Risan Fleet!

    Iconian Patrols - Patrol several systems from the Alpha, Beta & Delta Quadrants.

    Iconian Battlezone - Do battle with the Herald/Elachi on some planet... Gorna? :P Ferasa/Cait-Prime (So I can watch cats die!)

    More fleet holding missions. - We've got an Embassy / Mine / Spire & Research Lab. (Granted this one doesn't have to be Iconian related) Maybe some more Fleet Mark STF's ? (Do we even call them STF's anymore?)

    "Defend the Spire"

    "Liberate the Embassy"

    Hell.. if you take "Gateway to Grethor" and "Brotherhood of the Sword".. put them together... you have a nice little KDF themed Iconian War mission right there.

    I think if these are added, they should have some that take place after the fighting, where you can beam down engineers, or med team, stuff like that.

    The older patrols could use that too, BTW.
  • eldarion79eldarion79 Member Posts: 1,679 Arc User
    I don't mind patrols, but they were shallow content with a lot of bullet sponges that led to longer play times than the mainline missions.

    Ooh. OK, I'll slog my way through to the end of Kobali Prime.
