Besides the anniversary, what are you looking forward to/hope to see in the future?

My Plesh Tral is only four days away, I'm at work, a little bored, and just curious. What are you looking forward to in STO this year?
I'm looking forward to "Victory Is Life", but am a little apprehensive about what it will include. If it's a new faction with a recruitment event, it might be the first time I take it SLOW to level new characters.

I doubt it. Cryptic has mentioned in the past that they like to alternate what kind of expansions they do
-LoR = Early game content via new faction
-DR = End game content with no new faction
-AoY = Early game content via new faction
-ViL = End game content with no new faction

Cryptic has stated there are two new missions coming out before the next expansion hits, and that the latter is the most technically complex mission they have done for STO yet... so I'm excited to see how that works.

I knew there were a couple new missions coming, but hadn't heard the "most technically complex" bit. That's interesting...
Also if ViL is NOT a new faction, I'll honestly be relieved. I won't be making any new characters for a while.

space jump?

We will get warp boots to use on the ground maps and special legs for our starships to move on space maps.

Or maybe we'll get something like we have in that one episode where we play the Dyson ship, but now we will get a special playable species...

Maybe we'll be playing as a Changeling in just this one episode.

Really and truly? Nothing. I'll just take things as they come, as I've done ever since starting as a F2P.

I really look forward to getting another desktop so I can actually play the game rather than just run for my ship (which I'll get tomorrow for my New Year's happy!

I’m going to keep my expectations low for whatever comes our way and concentrate on understanding PVP builds and playing styles. I was able to play a match a while ago and absolutely got my butt kicked. PVP doesn’t come around that often, but it’s far more challenging than anything else in the game.

My expectations are seriously low, though if I had to choose something I would choose......

"Something to do "

As currently there is very little content that is playable on a regular basis :-(

There are ships like the akula that have been used by different publishers and cryptic have said that everything they make belongs to cbs. So it's actually quite possible!

What has been squandered is the oppertunity to actually advance the plot of the Tzenkethi motivations on making the Lukari out to be a major player, a move that has had the effect of demonstrating their imperialistic drive toward political hegemony in the region instead of a developing a working relationship with their neighbors.

Honestly, we're starting to see that the Tzenkethi have a reason, and, while it seems extreme, we don't know how dangerous the Drantzuli are. As to peace, there's factions that appear to be heading that way, if not entirely on board with peaceful

I'd like to see a slow down of new ships being introduced, there are too many coming out way too fast. Make the introduction of new ships a major event, perhaps by introducing them via new Featured Episodes.

If development on ships is slowed down I'd like to see some changes/updates made to Bridge Officers (BOFFS). Expand the differences between Tactical, Engineering, and Science officers even more than they currently are in the game. Science officers, for example, would be best suited to complete missions that require expertise with terraforming. Engineers would have a huge advantage when planning technological upgrades or repairs, while Tacticle Officers would have a bigger boost when ground combat is required. As it stands there is rarely a reason to change the makeup of your away teams, make missions that might require some thought as to which officers you have to send and how they may have to be equipped.

Revamp of DS9. Add the medical bay and fix the scale since some of the rooms feel bigger than they should in certain places. Also retro fit the starbase to give it a more Federation feel to it it's tech. Remember this is 30+ years after Nemesis, the Bajorians are members of the Federation now and the station should reflect that realty. StarFleet has had decades to update the decor and tech left behind by the Cardassians and given the importance of Deep Space Nine I'd doubt it be left as is. I'm not saying it should look completely different but have a more Bajoran or Starfleet feel to it.

This is not a debate thread. If you want to argue about such things (civilly), please make another thread. Meanwhile, back to the topic...
