What's next for STO?

fulleatherjacketfulleatherjacket Member Posts: 980 Arc User
Does it seem to anyone else like STO is a little bit lost? We have some kooky temporal stuff that fits in well with the TV show continuity, but in what direction is that going? The mirror universe arc isn't much of an arc besides them invading like they always do. What do we have to look forward to?

    RRF needs to be a full faction, Team restrictions need to be seriously looked at, and storylines revamped accordingly.

    Also they should be looking at some of the GOOD old missions they removed to find ways to reintroduce it to the game.
    (looking at you Captured by Hirogen mission and the one with Q and wolf 359, also Undine arc anyone?)

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    I would definitely like to see State of Q come back. If only to get the dialogue back in game that identifies the in game Q as Q Jr.

    Yeah its getting tiresome having people forget which Q is the one sitting in ESD right now.

    I think we'll see the direction with the next episode - probably early on in january to finish up around anniversary - Jan 7 to 28th most likely. I really have no idea where we're going. I kind of suspect that what we saw with mirror so far is it, but I'm not certain about temporal cold war. Are we going into a prolonged one or are we already done? The future guy said we were just getting started but that last episode also felt like a finale to me.

    Well if its a temporal cold war the episodes can happen any time and there's no beginning or end, just one giant paradox.

    I know we're getting new specializations. I really really hope it's a science focused one next. Too much DPS mania already and there is zero need for more after some videos I saw yesterday.

    It would not be hard to make the romulan republic a full faction the pieces are in place , they could even make it to where d'tan gets assasinated in a plot by sela and a new leader takes over who wants the republic to stand on their own as proud romulans and core members of the new alliance. .

    Kill bad guys, to get better stuff, so you can kill more bad guys. Pretty much what has been going on for the last 5 years.

    This 100% ^^^^

    I wish we had thumbs up on this forum because you wouldve gotten one from me spot on sir.

    Here's a few possibilities that come to mind.
    • The Temporal Cold War heating up and all the shenanigans that entails (ex. time travel.)
    • More stuff in the Alpha Quadrant (Cardassians and/or Dominion stuff)
    • More episode revamps (Fek'lhr is probably next on the list.)
    • New stuff (exploration was a thing for half an episode this season, could always become more of a thing.)
    • If all else fails, go back to the Iconians or start setting up the other Sphere Builders.

    I'll bet some serious cash the next specialization will be Temporal and therefore very sciencey.

    My Romulan, praised by D'Tan himself, got into an argument today in A Step Between Stars with the Romulan commanders as if she was part of the KDF.

    Thus the future of STO should be fixing the dialog trees for each faction.

    Sto Is definately lost. The PUG queues are dead 99% of the time. The current season 11 is too short, and has become generally boring now. Theres too much vendor trash in drops and nothing of value hardly ever.
    This game has become more like a job than a game,Having to work for everything you want all the time, its meant to be a game of fun.
    I am finding that in all my time playing this game(about 5 years), newer players in fleets or not, don't seem to want to team up very much for PvE missions. No wonder the queues are mostly dead. There needs to be more single games, ground and space.

    how about Medical specialization? a Temporal specialization makes no sense for another 100 years.

    ssems like a possibility out in cardassian/bajoran/terran empire territory if you wish to believe in rumors on the possible direction of the game.

    The only issue with this will be those Roms who are high enough level to have picked an alliance, and joined a fleet. If I am understanding things correctly, this would then lead to Roms only being part of a Romulan based fleet.​​

    No need to really fix anything. As long as episodes are Featured, you can play them even if you don't qualify in level or story advancement, but once they no longer are featured, they get put in into their place.

    Of course, you don't even have to bother with the new Romulus campaign ever, so you might never learn about when or how the gateway was found. But would you want that to be a requirement for story advancement? I think not.

    But we use the gateway in 'Sphere of Influence' ... then it gets destroyed by the Heralds in 'Blood of the ancients' only later to be discovered when you finish the tier 5 Romulan rep.

    Sense... make ... does ... it ... not!

    I though this thread was about speculation on the great things coming to STO? All I see is doom.

    I must be on the wrong forums, I am looking for fans of STO and read what they think.
