Hello Everyone
Since the sector space had a revamp and now we are expecting the skills system revamp. What other revamp or revamps do you think will be next? I think the fleet advancement system does need a revamp. It is difficult to track other players overall holding contributions progress. It would be a good idea to show their previous overall holding contributions and what they have recently added. If it is possible, add an automated option or options to promote players with options on how to promote the players. I promote the fleet members in the fleet I am in when they have added an item or items to the fleet projects but I am not on S.T.O everyday. I think a lot can be done for the fleet advancement system and other systems.
What do you all think?

Cryptic wins with such a system as well, since it adds even more value to kits and kit powers.
Not sure it'll happen though.
Edit: I'd also like to see these revamps/enhancements:
1) Loot drop revamp: Replace trash (food, consumables, white/green gear) drops with EC. This would strengthen the value of the crafting system and give players more pew-pew time and less inventory management nonsense. Currently in ground content, I don't even pick up anything below blue/purple.
2) Pet collection system: A system for collecting pets (space and ground) that frees up inventory/bank space. This would add value to pets--I currently avoid them because I lack room for them.
Maybe a UI update would be cool too.

^ This! This! A MILLION times THIS!
You should see the number of pets I got in my bank...

Agreed my minion friend. Agreed.
At the very least I would like it if they scaled the consumables to our level. Give us only smalls from 1-20, mediums at 20-40, and large at 40-60. That would help clean things up a bit.
Champions does this, and given the amount of copy/pasting between these games, I would think that means it's possible.
Which reminds me of one thing I'd like to see revamped, our awful Exchange system. It blows my mind that a 25th century system can't even do Boolean searches. This is an example of something they copy/pasted from Champions that I wish they hadn't.

Ok... what is a Boolean Search when it comes to the Exchange?
A Boolean search would allow you do a search like this,
XIV Antiproton [crtH] array
and it would still be able to find what your looking for. You DO NOT have to type out the entire name, in order, just to find something.
Boolean is basically how ALL modern search engines work.

Another change i'd love to see is customization versions of Security Escort. You could have a trait that beams down, Omega operatives or Maco assault troops, or any version of armor from the Reputations instead of the normal security escorts. They could use the same abilities as the security escort so it wouldn't affect balance much and have them stay with you until they die or you complete the objective.
Very much agreed with this. When I came back to this game, I went to Defara to earn 500 marks for a particular item, took days to get it. Then I went to New Romulus and was stunned to make 500 marks in a few hours.

I am so on board for this, really a separate tab would really help alot and free up a ton of much needed space .
Bring back the old exploration clusters with missions focused on exploration, where i could go to Cluster A. farm what i wanted or Cluster B. farm what i wanted. Like in the old days.
Not all of us are rich enough to buy off the exchange.
Defera / Omega Rep could use a rework. The marks are slower to get. And the end reward is not up to par like the others. It don't have the large Dil payout and other rewards for completing the Rep.
Loot drop. Larger targets needs better loot chances and quality of loot. Specially the "boss" types.

When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I love these ideas. I'd love to see more combat pets and even a horta bridge officer
Also I'd like to see Defera revamped to be a combo of the Voth & Kobali battle zones. I think both have good points to them which make for interesting persistent zones.
Oh and while we're talking revamps, someone please let Taccofangs loose on DS9!
The map is not hard in fact its rather easy, its just very tedious and boring waiting for auto fire to finish off a static brick.
- Other revamps I would like to see are a Devices revamp (more slots, and what some have suggested: a way to collect these kind of things without needing ever more bank space - Q Winter wonderland weapons for example are needed once a year, the rest of the year it shouldn't take up too much bank space)
- And some social maps like Andoria and Vulcan, maybe add some mini-games with interesting rewards there.
- And maybe a Borg ground revamp. Have them move faster, do something unpredictable (and I don't mean, have them jump tens of meters high whenever they're hit by fire or plasma grenades), make them more threatening. Right now, I'm taking a Voth spec ops more serious than any borg drone.
- Ground weapon visual revamp.
- Species revamp. All species should have a special C-store variant which comes with a special ability. Not something that will make a huge change in the sense of combat potential, but just something funny to have. Right now, Vulcans have the nerve pinch for example, but it requires a trait slot. Sell special species in the C-store where these things are innate.
And more different species in general, like the Voth. I wouldn't mind if this means that we get less ships for a while. I mean, we can only fly one ship at any time anyway, so releasing a new ship every month doesn't add much in the sense of player experience. A new playable species or even a new career would make much more difference.
- And now that I'm thinking of ships: maybe remove the need to put special consoles on it if you want to use its special abilities. Make them innate abilities. Example: the Vesta should always have one of its console abilities available. Only if you want to use set bonuses or more abilities, you should have to put the consoles on this ship.
This especially, it's kind of insulting to defeat a Captain or Admiral-level boss and get...a small hypo/power cell/shield charge...
I think loot drops should be more based on rank of enemy.
Ensign/Frigate- 70/15/15 Common drops/small consumables/nothing
Lt.Cmdr/Cruiser - 70/20/5/5 Common/uncommon- small/medium consumables/nothing
Comdr/Battleship - 60/30/5/5 Uncommon/rare - medium consumables/nothing
Captain/Dreadnought - 70/20/5/5 Rare/vary rare/large consumables/nothing
Admiral or higher/Capital - Very rare 30% chance or nothing.
or something along these lines.
or more even more simple put everything on 70/30 chance something or nothing and in that 70% chance an equal 10% chance to get common/uncommon/rare/very rare/small/medium/large consumables.
or the other way around 30/70 something or nothing then everything would have a 4.2% chance to drop.
Increase the prices of 'vendor trash' and have it drop less often. This would make walking through a battlezone more fun, without a need to clear your inventory every few minutes.

I don't think it strictly needs something like the support for multiple keywords - it could just have a deeper categorization, so you could pick
Ship Weapons -> Dual Heavy cannons -> Anti-Proton
And then you enter what you want specifically in the search field, like [Pen] or [CritD], and get only AP Dual Heavy Cannons.
Ideally it could also have the option to pick
Ship Weapons -> [any] -> Anti-Proton

Other than that, I don't have many ideas what to revamp. I would be more interested in extensions maybe, or new developments.
Crafting should be extended for disassembly/reverse engineering of items to gather materials and maybe new recipes.
An extension to upgrades or crafting that allows picking your desired modifiers (at a cost).
Maybe with some kind of special upgrade accelerator or a new category of item that can be slotted for an upgrade. When a rarity upgrade occurs, the item is consumed and the specific mod selected is applied. This doesn't alter the cost of getting a rarity upgrade, and allows incurring extra cost for the guaranteed mod.
Maybe it could be combined with reverse engineering. You have an item with a mod you want?
You get a reverse engineering kit, and apply it to the item. Each step, the item loses one mod, and you gain a "Modification Kit" that allows you to get that mod on a compatible item. Once you hav removed all rarity grades of the item, the item is completely disassembled and leaves its base materials behind.
Oh, maybe one thing that could be overhauled:
Loot.
