When they clean out the mess

From start to now they did great things to the game, I've been there every step off the way. But I believe the game needs serious cleaning. There old and new stuff floating the servers from starting day till now there is coding floating around not completely deleted or removed.
It's eating space but also giving bugs trough out the game. to be serious I believe the have to clean up the game big time to get lesser bugs.
But then again I'm a car mechanic not a Game Dev. well it's been up to you guys... But I say it's need cleaning and lesser seasons and more episodes in a season and not every two episodes a new season.
Like I made a poll on this Dominion this they have to reset and upgrade the FE Serie, What really is old is the Breen series.
And like this there are so many things untouched and floating around and creating problems throughout the game.
So hope Gekko is reading this and think yes we need to clean up a bit I never thought off it.
Just like to know how many people agreeing with me.

Really game-breaking issues are usually dealt with fairly quickly so calling these 'problems throughout the game' is exaggeration.
As for the episodes per season thing: does it really matter whether we get more episodes per season, and less seasons, or keep things the way it is? The amount of new content remains the same and will not easily be changed by changing the amount of seasons so I don't see the potential benefit that you seem to think exists.
They can have writers and artists create a new story episode, or tweak the Dominion arc. Pick one. I choose the new story episode.
The developers can work on new features and serious bugs, or fixing some old bug that is minor and does not really harm anyone. Pick one.
Maybe over time the consoles will bring in enough new money that they can hire new people, and have some spare time to work on polishing the chrome instead of fixing the brake line.
which isn't a bad thing - after all, a non-indie game that isn't fully-voiced in this day and age is pretty much an abnormality...but still

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

What are these recurring bugs you speak of?
As for the Breen, despite their age they are still an opponent which can bite you in the rear when not prepared.
Would like to see a small boost to the breen space set, but other than that it is fine at this time.
Most of us want the Trek VOs. This is Star Trek Online not Generic Space Shooty Fun.
Yea. The Breen are one of the more interesting of the older enemy groups. That Subnuc can mess you up, and having the Plesh Breks grab you with Tractor Beam can be nasty.
Agreed. Having the actual actors reprise their roles adds something special to the game that really adds to the immersion.
Right now I think the game that had the most Trek actors other than STO was Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, which had the entire cast (especially after an official patch that replaces whoever they got for Seven with Jeri Ryan). The old TOS games 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites would be a close second when you consider the CD versions.
AND I HATE HAVING MY POSTS EATEN IF I TRY TO EDIT ONE MINOR MISTAKE!

I don't feel like spending money on a game for things when I switch ships in sector space and my load out trays all go blank from a bug on the new ship till I warp in to a local system.
I don't feel like spending money on a game for things when the tonic from Night of the Comet only does half the dance it used to do and feels like a bug.
I don't feel like spending money on a game for things when I go to fire a torpedo spread and nothing fires but the system starts the cool down like a spread just fired.
It seriously feels like STO needs a break to test and debug things better. As more annoying "bugs/issues" creep up in my game play I don't feel encouraged to support the product financially.
Yea. It was fun. I had a mod that gave the Voyager crew First Contact style uniforms. Honestly I don't know why they were never able to switch after reestablishing contact with Starfleet.
Your choice. Don't have to beat everyone else over the head with it several times.

Generic Space Shooty Fun was the best game ever! I completely burned out an Atari 520 ST--no, wait, it was a Commodore 128--playing that game!
Allegedly.

I don't know I'm just a mechanic not a computer engineer, but what I do know if I clean up my PC it runs a lot better then with the old game and data stuff floating around. But they make good money on the play station and Xbox so PC is a bit forgotten along the way....

I'd like to see a more proactive bug team rather than see 6-8 patches over the course of 6-8 weeks with no real bug fixes with nothing more than tooltip corrections or cosmetic fixes.
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Cryptic is sadly VERY delete happy. Its cheaper and faster than having a Q/A department apparently.
But back to the point at hand, if they went to one of the major MMO's like Rift or WOW I think they could learn a few things here and there. Also STWOR is a major MMO RPG Online game they could learn tricks from. not they have to do exactly like others please don't ... but anyway my statement is this when I started my garage I visited other garage holders learning the ropes, I mean that I'm a good mechanic doesn't mean I can run a garage it's a learning curve. same with gaming industries if they want to be great and build up experiences they have to learn from the masters out there...
And stop neglecting PC people over the console folks because thanks to the massive population of PC gamer's you where able to start on the console and right now it looks like thanks PC folks we concentrate on Console head start you guys can wait a bit.
Hire an bigger staff if you need it but do something...
Ok I'l gut it out who am I to tell how to run there stuff because they do a great thing out there but it could be a lot better !!!
I'm just saying that's all...
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
Uhh... ok. Well... you do know... that you are actually the one "screaming hard" (hey, your words, not mine
Fair point, uh I wasn't screaming merely pointing out facts but yeah I don't believe they do things quick. they have the same love over the game as we do but they could do better... That said I hope I point out in a good direction and set them to think. It's not always making a quick bug sometimes you have to take the side road to reach the high road. And STO have a lot off fans and they have to embrace that and show them they love their creation like we do.
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
"It's not always making a quick bug"? I'm sure you mean buck but awesome nonetheless
Quick or not, they direly lack proper testing and are faaar to eager to wave stuff through on top of giving the impression of being shell-shocked on the thought of fixing elements that are already in the game for some time which I guess is a major reason for the complains/suggestions you made in the OP. If I would not like or care for the game I would neither support it with my money or more important my time and even much less invest energy to post stuff. Neither would it infuriate me to have every sitting crew member in the constitution interior I bought in December clipping into the chair and and every duty NPC having the wrong talking head because sloppy testing since... February? Why? Because I would not have bought it if I did not care.
*sigh* Its an MMO, not a magazine. There is no "old" stuff. Only established stuff and new stuff. OK, full stop now, I'll start posting myself into a "rage"; don't want to be there
TL/DR: I agree with your OP, I do hope they take proper testing and fixing more serious in the future but I really do not see it happening.
The problem with bugs in an MMO is that it is all to easy for them to be created on the back of a new feature or a fix to an existing feature, every MMO will suffer from the same symptoms when it comes to these "bugs" granted some companies deal with it better than others.
I do understand where you are comming from but it is a whole load trickier to deal with bugs in an MMO compared to a single player game, for one thing data has to be kept like for example what missions you have completed how much money you have etc etc.
I agree that Cryptic probably do make a good amount of money from all 3 of the platforms and from all 3 games (well ok not so much Champions Online
Cryptic do have to balance how they manahe to produce both the MOAR MONIES and fix their game as well as provide new content, do they have it right? probably not but it has got a lot better from where it was a few years ago.
Well thanks for the insult but that's alright, explain why the PC gamer is wrong on that statement could you present a comment why this believe isn't true ? We know console is legging behind a bit in episodes but other then that console get more attention then PC at the moment if that ain't true and instead trowing insults could you prove it ?
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
I played a few games from PWE their not so bad their not my thing but their not bad either.
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
so, when the devs ran some events or retired some missions for clusters and some episodic missions retired, it may have left some old footprint.
that is extactly analog comparasions.
they would have to clear some old footprints and start over with new codes so they can spot those "ID tags" before they add new episode/chapters, or a new "expansion", with ID tags where they can find easier, then it would be less glitchy.
