To the STO Team hope you read it !!!

First of I like to say I love the Star Trek Fan Base I like the fact the STO Team is so dedicated to the Trek so to speak, That said I have something to share with those that are fan of STO.

Dear STO Team, I love the way you have done things but ONE thing trouble's me first I love the mini TOS series idea but what I said in another tread it's to short to rushed and we fans know you can do much better PLEASE don't let money get the best of you STO Team.
Also now you come up with another pack with ships all T6 but yeah was this wise to do this STO Team, I'm not sure how many of the STO Team is playing STO... but be honest if you do play STO you would agree with me with already chars created all missions done why would you buy or even put in money to win a ship if there is nothing to do for that ship. Because if you already have more then enough char's would you really wanted to create another one level it to admiral to finally enjoy that one ship you won ? I would say make a few new story's first and I mean story's not another Battle zone or an skirmish a few real episodes... You made all this effort in the TOS era and after 10 missions you let us do the whole fed thing again. Also STO Team maybe you noticed the BUG list is growing rapidly, People are getting annoyed with the way you handle things. My tip to you start listening again to the fans stop with those darn dollar signs in your eyes and have a heart to the game again !!!
But we have our doubts you are reading this sorry that we feel this way so prove us wrong !!!

Regards a few STO Fans

    I dont care about TOS, really, it was fun, but i hate the campy 60's look, thats my opinion, of course, so, for me, its a no-go on more TOS story, i preffer things in the current STO era... TCW or otherwise.. but we need new episodes.. some new FE's or something..

    I don't mean this in a hostile way, but you don't speak for me, and your opinion is not the only correct one.

    So this is factually incorrect (the best kind of incorrect): " if you do play STO you would agree with me"

    I don't, some devs might some might not.

    Opinions and tastes differ. I'd love to see more TOS episodes, but from his post above @gaevsman would not.

    You think the number of bugs is "growing rapidly" while to me it's not any worse than a couple of years ago. Bugs arrive, some are fixed, some linger.

    You think adding more ships was a mistake, I welcome new choices even if they are in lock boxes or packs.

    We both agree that adding more story episodes is a good thing,

    I disagree with this: "start listening again to the fans stop with those darn dollar signs in your eyes" ... because I don't agree that Cryptic has stopped listening. Listening does not mean you (in particular) get exactly what you want. Cryptic/PWE is a business and those "dollar signs" are what pay to keep the servers running and to add new story content.

    I agree with you @davefenestrator , i'm not against more TOS missions, but have no appeal to me, and i think Cryptic is doing a great job so far...

    I just wish the TOS missions had been a completely new storyarc instead of a rehash of the others. Would have been great to have it touch back on special events and things that are now no longer available. Could have touched the Winter events, etc. Could have had a whole side storyarc with one of the Qs. A great number of things could have done with this, since TOS plays with timetravel. For instance idea sources: Back to the Future series; Quantum Leap series; Sliders series; a bunch of others. And if you're going to play with time travel, you might as well through in a good measure of SteamPunk, Gothic, Victorian, and other genre types that fit in with STO. Heck, you could even have a near immortal as your captain, living from the 23c to now and beyond and jumping around time later, just for instance - a Wesley entity at endgame.

    Just thinking here. So much potential. I had hoped for something unique, but the TOS arc didn't offer anything more than what was here already.

    It was fun, but I have to admit to disappointment. Like running a MAJOR event and only getting an Admiralty card for it. Or opening a box to get 3 EC, for example.

    I could spend the next month listing things they 'could have done', but that doesn't matter, since that isn't what they 'did'.

    After all, what really is a Timetraveler, but a Planeswalker?

    I disagree with one thing, I know cryptic is a business and it needs money. My disagreement is this. They make stuff to make money. But if they create stuff we want they would generate much more money. In addition if they had created a cardessian, dominion faction instead of TOS what most fans asked they would have generated much more income. Because there was only a small group that wanted TOS and a very Big group that wanted the Cardessian, dominion faction as a playable race. That's my point with the STO Team that's not listening.

    May I see the verifiable numbers on this? I want to look over the details of the data collection and methods to make sure it was properly done enough to take your statement as anything other than W.M.G.

    Somehow I doubt Cryptic went, "you know- lets do something that won't make us money". But hey, if you have the data...

    It would require a major investment of expanding their universe, but why not an intro of all the Major and Mid-level Factions? There's a thought...

    If STO had WoW's number of players and was collecting $15/month plus charging $50 for each new season then Cryptic could afford to create more story episodes. That isn't likely to happen :)

    For Drakethewhite,

    http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1220046/which-playable-race-would-you-like-to-see-the-most-in-sto/p1

    See this poll if it says at least 60% is saying they want TOS ???

    ROFL...you link a "poll"...an unofficial "poll" that is a mere 4 pages long (after a month no less) and has nearly 19 options. That wouldn't even decide dinner in my household.

    Look. Players "demanded" they add Klingons and they did. They demanded Romulans and they did. In both cases, only a small % actually play them exclusively with most being just some side alts to a Fed Captain. Demanding Cryptic focus resources on yet another faction is a waste of all our time and theirs. Add them as another player species in the Cstore (even though you can pretty much build them as aliens already for free), fine...but a faction? Not going to happen any time soon and even then, only after changes to the existing factions we do have.

    Most definitely. Would require a much more dedicated player base.

    Klingons were there from practically the beginning.

    I guess you are right forum votes isn't prove.... but make a vote ingame your self. Ask arround you will see if you ask the question, Do you want the Dominion or do you want them to inprove the TOS. Most off them will vote Dominion. Just saying.....

    Still getting over the fact that I submitted one bug report about two KDF toons unable to complete the Kelvin mission, and the next day it was fixed.

    I must of passed through the Scary Door during my day.​​



    Generally, they seem to reset your toons pretty quick - when they're online. At least the past couple of times I've had that sort of issue.

    I like the dominion, they have a something I like wish they introduced more stuff do...

    Like an playable shapeshifter would be nice flying around a map no serious not the flying thing but deception I would love to see, Also the Jem'Hadar weapons hand weapons I miss in the game. More Dominion ships would be welcome to the game for me at least and some friends of mine made Cardesians I think I would buy the whole pack if they would make it just to be awesome.
    Dominion playable alliance, should have Cardessian, Dominion and Breen ships same with playable species, they should have Cardessian, Breen, Dominion, Jem'Hadar, Vorta and some other gama quadrant species. Map of the Gama Quadrant. Why did they enter the Alpha Quadrant because of species 8472 that infiltrated there Home world. Sabotaged there dominion plants. Your first contact should be Odo who runs the show there. The rest the STO Team is for them to figure out but I would love to see that as an mini faction.

    Odo's faction is already in the game. They're not playable because they are the Founder's - the opposition of the Prophets. They are also inherently 'evil' as all non-Founder lifeforms are of no value to them other than their slave races.

    As for the Gamma Quad species... Those they let be playable were restricted to the Delta Expansion for F2P players, but some are unlocked to full subscribers. They're no longer available to F2P players unless you created one during Delta.

    Excuse me, not Delta, that other one.

    There are other 'shapeshifters' in Star Trek. Just not in STO.
  • grazyc2#7847 grazyc2 Member Posts: 1,988 Arc User
    First odo is in the gamma quadrant not the alpha quadrant, and as I stated

    Why did they enter the Alpha Quadrant because of species 8472 that infiltrated there Home world. Sabotaged there dominion plants.

    So the mission could start with odo I never said being odo... you can only play breen, cardessian, or dominion or one of the other small gama quadrant species...

    cheers
