    Is "hire more staff" thinking too big?

    I'd like to see something simple as some new hairstyles. Maybe a new stance. You know, crazy stuff...

    They already told in a tweet "To think BIG for the anniversary". And that "we (the players) weren't thinking BIG enough."

    If they're going to play coy, then I want Shatner for a series of episodes. And ill settle for no less.

    need to think more outragous, hmm.

    CBS pays the cost for all 5 captains to appear on STO with their own unique dialogue and lines, from past, present and future, cryptic will pay back the costs over time. it is feasible with the time travelling storyline, easily workable. in addition the Cardassians will have their own faction in an expansion and there will be a massive bug hunting and fixing task and a huge graphical upgrade project. finally cryptic announces a new engine project that will be used for STO2 and that everything from the original game will be in effect copied over to the new engine in due course.

    if that isnt big enough, i dunno what will be :p
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.

    My prediction for this year and beyond is...

    Season 11.5 -> Expansion 3 -> 50th anni update -> Season 12

    As for the 50th itself, I'd say at the very least, we'll get more time travel antics. Hopefully with more voiceovers from TOS or ENT actors.

    It's almost as if you're playing PWI, rather than STO.​​

    A mission that sends the player back in time and puts them in command of a Super T10 Tos Connie ... then during the mission have X ship blow up ... thus you don't keep it. XD

    Thing is, they really could fix *all* bugs... but then they'd need to freeze the development of the game at that point, as the next major update is sure to break a lot of things again, so you'd be back at square one.

    All-in-all, I'd say they're doing better with bugs of late. They even fixed a very longstanding seating bug on the Mobius (where you're hovering like 1m above your seat), on the new Temporal Science ship! Though the mills of Cryptic grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small! :)

    i want them to legitimately write in a Death Star-esque Herald sphere led by an angry and banished T'ket and Co. that we literally get to fly through and blow up episode 6 style...

    they said dream big lol xD

    Mwahahahahahahaha

    Mirror Universe mission where we have to go back and fix some sort of incursion by the TOS crew thus preventing the whole mirror universe scenario where Leeta prevails. Reward could be a T6 TOS-era iconic mirror universe ship.

    Unlikely but it is the 50th and generosity might abound from all directions :smile:

    we have that already; it's called the breach - which actually comprises both episodes 4 & 6

    the exterior portion is the trench run and the interior is the strike at the core​​

    I don't know... I'm thinking more along the lines of Anakin destroying the Trade Federation's Control Ship...
  • legendarylycan#5411 legendarylycan Member Posts: 37,284 Arc User
    also the breach...except there's no one on the outside going "What's that? It's blowing up from the inside."​​

    it doesn't actually blow up on the outside once you take out the core, though...would it really have killed them to add random explosions across the exterior of the hull?​​

    It couldn't be any worse than the thought of us getting a "How To" video from Martha Stewart, on how to make a Trek themed mobile made from harvested twigs from the back yard and cut out ships made from construction paper...

    Could it?
  • tousseautousseau Member Posts: 1,484 Arc User
    Ooo... ooo...ooo...

    I just had another fabulous idea...

    A variation of the Shard of Possibilities. Instead of summoning 2 versions of you from different time periods... It, instead, summons 3 versions of Harry Mudd's wife. Who will follow you around, haranguing you about your eating habits or if you wre out to late carousing the night before...

    If they wanted to bring in someone from the original cast, I'd think the best choice would be George Takei because that would definitely solve the whole "Where's Sulu?" issue.

    Others have mentioned playable tribble/horta races, but why stop there? Why not have tribble, horta, or even epohh factions?
