Last time when i was playing Undine Assault i thought why dont Cryptic add a MOBA like PVP mode? The arena pvp fights are quite ugly but with a MOBA like mode it could be nice and we allready have many consoles and ships in the game which would benefit this. (and in generall are not used cause well who wants the gimmicks if they can have dmg)

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

....MOBA....
Don't worry, the thread will be forgotten quickly enough when it will be moved to the PvP forums.
An Open Battle Arena would be great! Heck, something like the Undine Battle Zone is the perfect setup for a territory control of sorts. Especially if they provide tangible benefits, like buffs/Rep/Marks/Dil/Spec Points.
Foundry... Diplomacy... Exploration... Rom/KDF Sci... Dominion... should be automatically deleted. I wonder if someday people will realize why [insert thing here] will never come. Stupid and non sense comments like yours should be deleted.
Revive pvp?
Impossible. one look at the buff and debuff bar that goes from one end of the screen to the other and you see whats wrong.
It has become an impenetrable debacle where people get killed right through their shields and the rewards stink too much to warrant the time spent.
Yup.. you are one of those who dont have a clue why pvp will never come back. Anyways, keep fooling yourself , good luck!
PvP must have some pull since people are blaming PvP'er for the Plasma Explosion nerf...
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
It's a little known fact that a PvP build will often cost more time and resources than PvE build's purely because PvP is more difficult and changes way more often than the rubbish Gecko calls "exciting" PvE.
Personally, I believe MOBA would be a great way to go... as its not always about killing, but holding strategic locations... I would definitely return to the PvP... heck even do ground PvP. Something that is persistent... or timed to span an hour or two before reset. If we look at say the Dyson Battle Front as a starting point (heck if I am not mistaken, when that was developed it was hinted that they may look at how it operates and apply it to PvP). Everyone comes in at two "beam in locations", and takes sites from NPC defenders... they start earning rewards based on the number of sites they hold (be it marks, dilithium, credits, xp boosts...whatever). More spots you hold... the more you earn... of course your true opponent is wanting to do the same thing... so will come around to try and take your site from you, and you have squads trying to take theirs (scouting sites... reporting back... developing strategy)... The Secret World did a pretty good version of the above IMO.
Seriously who wouldn't like that type of thing?
That being said... one big thing that needs to occur to make PvP attractive to the masses... it needs to vanilla.. All Weapon/Ability stats dropped to the Common values (no rare, ultra-rare, epic bonuses, and no modifiers (dmg, prtg, acc, etc). Lockbox consoles values set to 0 in any PvP area... It needs to be about skill, not grind.
Just my opinion.
Star Trek Online, Now with out the Trek....
I paid for a complete game not for half a game.
Also I game to get away from people after a long day of dealing with them.
This "Raid Mentality" is why SWTOR gets less of my $$.
Personally I'd like to see a PVP/PVE mix. LIke Kerrat, just better. MOBA have that too, but I can only see those things work, if premade ships are used exclusively and players unlock certain support NPC's or buffs via achieving victories during the match.
NEVERWINTER is getting this MOBA PVP now, so who knows, maybe they take a loo at it spmeday and try to implement it into STO aswell...wouldn't hold my breath though, since there isn't much money to make from PVP anymore in STO. That ship has sailed in my opinion.
Another thing I'd like to see as a PVP option would be historic scenarios...wolf 359, battle for DS9, battle for chintoka system,...
Players use premade ships of both sides and need to achieve certain goals like destroying the power supply for the planetary defense grid, slow down a borg cube while the other team's goal is to stop them achieving their goals.
That's more than I managed to save up for a triple A title coming out on Steam in early 2016.
Can't disagree with @edalgo.
Whoa. That'd have been sufficient to literally fill an entire Steam library with enough titles to dump sto in the recycle bin. It's your money so it's also your call but... man.
