The next Endeavour mission

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
It's too bad there are so many options... polls won't really work although it could be fun to try sometimes. Anyway, for now I'll just ask the question.

Which mission, zone or activity would you like to see being linked to the next Endeavour mission(s)? Or, assuming we'll see them all being linked to it eventually, which content, weapon type etc. would you like to see being linked to an Endeavour mission most often?

    For me it would be Gravity Kills and maybe the Borg ground missions. And perhaps something fun like only using stun pistols of two different types in at least 5 ground queues.

    Oh come on!! At least let the system run for a few weeks before asking innane questions like this!! Sheeeesh!

    CCA, ISA, voth BZ, BCE... you know, stuff that pays well.

    Since the Endeavour reward turned out not to be enough to be worth it by itself.

    If nothing else, the Endeavour system is the perfect oportunity to encourage players to participate in content that rarely sees any activitiy. Forget the overplayed content (namely ISA/CCA) - and this is NOT an anti-CCA/ISA post - the fact is honestly think the emphasis needs to be taken away from the likes of those missions as they REALLY don't need anything extra to encourage anyone to play them.

    I, for one, am hoping to see 'Vault Ensnared' (to name but one example) - I love that mission, but it never pops (although have played it with Fleet friends on occasion).
    It would be the perfect opportunity to do that, if it gave a unique reward. As it is, the Endeavour reward is just common resources and nowhere near large enough quantities to counteract the underlying disproportionate reward structure of the game.

    Even if the Endeavour says "Vault Ensnared" it would still be far better reward/time to just play CCA.

    I think most people have got a pretty good idea of the rewards already. No need to wait a few weeks imo, but feel free to come back then :)

    I've received half a spec point while doing a simple mission on Defera. I also got 200k EC for the other Endeavour mission. For me the rewards are quite significant and judging from how many instances were filled yesterday on Defera, I'd say I'm not the only one.

    While I agree that the underlying problem should be addressed, I think that last line is an exxaggeration and the Endeavour system could definitely make a difference. Even if it does not address the issue of the basic rewards being a bit ... illogical.

    50- 200k EC, or 1/4 or even 1/2 of a spec point as bonus rewards (on top of regular rewards) for playing certain content isn't nothing for most players as we could see yesterday.

    It's not an exaggeration at all. 50-200k EC is like loose change you find dusting couch cushions. Half a spec point is what, 720 dil ore? One CCA run sans daily box gives twice that. The mark box gives 50, that's 500 dil. I haven't seen the dil box yet, but it's unlikely to be that much higher.

    I didn't say it's "nothing," I said it's not enough to make the unpopular content worth playing.

    Sure, I did the Defera one, too. It's a new system, have to try it out. And frankly, I was very interested to see what it meant when it said "ranked mission" on Defera (but no, there wasn't anything new there, no rankings or new missions, it just meant "any mission" :disappointed: ). Once the novelty wears off, people will do the math again and the result will be what it always is.
