10 Thinks I like to see in Star Trek Online in the Future

ryuranger

These are my Top 10 things I like to See in Star Trek Online in the Future from 10 being can live with out to 1 must have
10. Costume Genders This thing is actually vary good in Star Trek Online to allow Players to Change Genders Some Games have these feature like Saints Row Trilogy (amazing game) but it will give a more ways to give players to customize there Character hell they can make them even transgender if they want too.
9. Pilot TOS Bridges This is an easy one by modifying the TOS Bridge you can give Pilot Bridges as well for the Beta Constitution Class and the Dundless Class too/
8. Pilot Uniforms I like to see these in the Game too manly to have a complete cannon of Star Trek Uniforms
7. Imperfect Future and Parallels Commbage
6. TMP's Bridges Star Trek 1-6 This would be cool to have Star Trek Online TMP Bridges from Star Trek 1-6 for the Constitution Refit
5. Transporter Effects: This one I think should be in Star Trek Online to allow different Transporter effects and to allow Captains to customize them as well to create there own personal once too like an example use a TNG Transport effect with a different colour like Violet or Pink
4. NX Bridge Set I would love to see a NX Bridge set in Star Trek Online to make the NX class more compete
3, Wolf 356 Vessels (Challenger Class Freedom Class Niagara class Springfield Class)
2. Bridges for Crossfiled Class and Walker Class
1. Live View Screen!!! This one should be a must have in Star Trek online I mean its not hard to do Star Trek Bridge Commander Did and the More recent Bridge Crew Why not Star Trek Online yeah I know there can be limits but I think a live View Screen should be a must like when you set in the commands char you can control the ship like in bridge commander it would be cool to have

Already been addressed by the Devs. The way STO is set up makes it impossible. In space your avatar transforms into the ship. On the ground, its your captain. When you go up to the bridge it is just a premade map with absolutely no connection to where you are in the galaxy. There is SOME customization on most Fed and KDF bridges that allow for trophies, but that is about it.

those are nice but a lot of work with no way to monetize them.

Totally an FCT!

baddmoonrizin

Well, there's at least a good third of this that's FCT, that's for sure.

I would like to see "searches" work better in this STO program.
Searching through the database at the Exchange, searching through the database for Foundry Missions....
They are either dysfunctional or not enough options, any more. And I would even say: slow?

I am sure at one time, the type of search in the game was "standard" and maybe even "acceptable" but I am sure it could be improved (or is optimized the right word ??). Same goes with the "chat" window and with the "e-mail"/messaging program.

where2r1

OH and another thing I would LOVE to see improved is this Forum.

Will they EVER squash the EDIT MONSTER???

And give the forum users MORE OPTIONS??? Block categories (which we used to have), Sort Posts by Date (which we used to have), Text color and size. It seems we keep getting reverted backwards.

eldarion79

While I would love more bridges, as of right now, I want more story content. Different types of transporter effects is a good idea.

We sorta have him in game.... he doesn't talk though.

Forgot return of actual exploration.

First contact missions, seeing a super nova, watching a pre warp civilization and attempting to watch them from afar and infiltrate to observe up close without being detected.

Setting up new outposts etc.

Actual squadron content. And promoting boffs to Captain to captain your old ships. Much like SF Command games where you could have up to 3 ships at a time.

Stuff like that.

It can't return because it was never there. Honestly, that's the best part about the New Frontiers story arc, is that it does include actual exploration.

Really was and wasn't. It was exploration for a brief moment, then back into another war.

Well, yeah, that's how it worked in the TV show. Boldly going where no man has gone before... then finding out what's already living there and wants to kill us.

A couple I agree with, but most of these suggestions I wouldn't be too keen on either way. The main thing, as others have pointed out, is would any of these changes ... quality of life improvements ... make Cryptic money after devoting whatever amount of resources to complete these listed items? That would be the driving force for Cryptic to perform this especially on already in-game things.

Also, I know my exposing my ignorant putz self here but hat the heck does FCT mean? Dang it I even Googled it. Thanks to anyone answering which I'm sure will be an easy riddle.

FCT is Frequently Created Thread. There's a list of topics that have been brought up so often or cause such huge problems on the forum that they are no longer allowed. In some cases, devs have provided an answer on a particular topic, and said answer is quoted for reference in the FCT thread.

bcwhguderian1941

The return of the "Exploration Clusters". Improved upon would be great, but I'd settle for the originals. Flaws and all.

Lately, this has been my prefered Kirk:



(Although, he's already in STO as Capt./Adm. Garrett.)

I agree that it'd be nice to have the TMP, NX and Discovery bridges, but we may be waiting awhile for any of them. About the only thing that I wish they'd bring back is an option in the Z-Store to filter ships by faction so that it's easier to scroll through the options to find the one(s) I'm looking for.

Yeah kinda over the first kid on my block to get 1 billion confirmed kills.

Frequently Created Thread (FCT) given the context/venue makes perfect sense now to me lol. Thanks.

I would like them to add a feature in the tailor for canon uniforms.

Instead of having to cobble together accurate uniforms ourselves, it would be nice if you could just select a default.

Ex .Category Next Generation, then just choose department color and rank and you're done .

yeah if you wanted the common unis a one click would be nice on the tailor. on the drop down have TNG then TNG top TNG pants TNG shoes. then TOS tops top tos pants.. of you want all just click the top one.

A bit surprised but none of OPs 10 are on my top 10 .

Focusing on what can be done, rather than items that would be impractical (such as an independant Romulan or Cardassian faction);

• Expand the Republic; allow playable Talaxian, Cardassian and Suliban (Republic Exclusive), allow for Republic-specific Doff acquisition. Add that Republic Contraband Officer on Mol'rhian (may already be there, it's been a while since I've played).

• Vulcan Ships - Cryptic can start with a T6 D'Kyr, but we could certainly do with a few more Vulcan designs, especially when you consider that players have what is it, six Andorian designs? And playable Cardassian ships soon?

• Feline-styled Caitian/Ferasan. This'll no doubt require a model/movement rework, but I want to see cats with mames, not feet and hands. Additional (longer) hair options for them too.

• The rights to the DS9 Dominion Wars game ships; Cardassian (Norin, Tonga, Hutet), the Klingon Kvort'cha, and the Federation Achilles.

• Independent 'starter' missions (or a mini-arc) for select species; Cardassian, Gorn, Talaxian (etc)

• Playable Xindi Characters & Bridge Officers; Primate, Arboreal, Reptilian, Insectoid (if possible?)

• That Klingon Warbird from the reboot film.

• Day/Night cycles on all planets that are social zones; Earth, Qo'nos, Mol'rhian, Risa, Andor etc...

• A First Officer System; a system where we (as Admirals) would promote one of our Boffs to the rank of Captain (or Commodore?) which enables us to walk/play around with them - maybe out of combat only?

I am still holding out hope for a new night and day cycle sometime even if it takes years to happen.

Already in the game, Kelvin Timeline D4X.

Actually... that's a BoP. The "Warbird" was seen during Kirk's third Kobayashi Maru, and looked to be the Kelvin Timeline variant of a D7.

This all seems aesthetic so I don't care either way, however here is a Viewscreen Solution to the problem, that the Avatar Transforms into a Ship.

1) Player Clicks on Viewscreen.
2) Avatar Transforms into a Ship.
3) Game zooms out.
4) Makes Avatar/Ship Invisible.
5) Put it in a box and you have a Viewscreen *shrug*
6) The 'Viewscreen' can be panned around but the avatar would remain static, or perhaps it can move to zoom the viewscreen etc. The avatar's 'viewscreen' ship could be tailored to do whatever it is needs.

But how do we leave the 'viewscreen'?
1) Button to return to Bridge. - Avatar starts in the captains chair.

It isn't an unsolvable problem, it's just whether it is worth it or not. I am certain this isn't the only solution someone could think of. Two copies of the avatar for example, one static in space, one watching it blah blah.

None of that is workable or affordable.

And covered multiple times by the Devs.

ONE that I have always wanted is to Taylor my seperation pets so they can run the same weapons as my loadout (only to level XII so not OP) and give them orders on how to attack so their weapons can be used to maximum effect (that dual cannon on the prom pet fires once before it starts to broadside and occasionally it will fire torps
