SUGGESTION : Add An (AI) BOT Option For PVE Queue Missions

azyurion

Problem : Too many PvE missions are going unlaunched, even though there are players wanting to enjoy the content and reward:smile, simply because there aren't enough players for particular missions at the same exact time.

Solution : Add an option for players to Launch a (Normal) PvE mission, using Server-Side Bots. This would be similar to how BOffs are deployed by players in Story-Line missions.

The effect of a Bot solution would be to increase usage of all the available PvE missions. It would also speed up Queue wait times. It would very likely increase customer/player satisfaction levels. The server side Bots would be no more system taxing than the enemy Bots currently employed as adversaries in those same PvE missions. The server side Bots would be no worse in game play performance than many AFK/Inexperienced players and would, likely, reduce the number of AFK/Inaction complaints in PvE missions.

AI controlled Bots have been around for many years and should be an option to fill out the large body of under-used PvE missions in the STO queue. Please consider adding this feature in a future patch.

How about,, when Queing for a 10 person mission with a team of 5 people, each player gets to choose 1 BOFF to bring with them. The tech is already there when running mission on a 3 person team you can choose 2 boffs, so shouldn't take much to modify.
I noticed recently that Mine Trap is no longer on the que list,, such a shame because that was a great mission. They could have split that mission into a 5-10-15 or 20 person mission very easily,, but instead they chose to remove it.
I've listened to whats been said about the ques and have come to the conclusion that they really don't know what to do with them. Yet,,, they keep adding more... interesting strategy.
