Toning it down on the torp damage 60-65 that even some devs on reddit said was a bit broken. At the very least, nerfing crit severity on npc normal torps. Honestly if a normal photon is somehow doing more than a slow moving plasma thats kinda....wierd and rather inconsistent.
I'm hopeful also for a new character slot for some of us who've used up our char slots. I'd like to not have to restart my deadpool like char in discovery .
Some new style weaponry to try out.
Maybe a new set or two thats good enough for me to try something other than morphogenic/quantum phase/nausicaan.
I wonder what options I'll have for a character appearance in discovery content....
Thinking of ideas from lots of games for, dunno how long now.
Correct the faction assignments of "Mycelium Ambush" and "Honored Dead"; seriously, it's as though the dev's never watched the new show... Ohhh, and can we finally fix the graphics for the mining lasers? It's been broken for a couple of years, now...

I expect lots of bugs in the new content, server issues and older stuff breaking all over the place because that's just generally how new "factions" are implemented.

This x100. It is getting weird getting 80k+ hits from random torpedos with top of the line equipment/perks/utility, hell if my MW cruiser takes the same amount of damage consistently then my Cardi-intel escort that isn't fully decked out yet, something ought to be broken.
Other then that, i just hope for a lot of nice visuals, customization and (i know, pipe-dream) consistent ship interiors with a purpose - okay that last one is reaching beyond any realistic expectations. Personally i just hope for some QoL improvements on top of the new customizations and further increase in visual fidelity/quality like ViL did it, that one was a step in the right direction.

In the announcement thread ambassadorkael did confirm another character slot for everyone
I expect a Discovery pack for 10,000 Zen (give or take a couple thou), a char slot, a selection of 4 slightly remade ST races, 3-4 starter missions each with about 20-30 seconds of cutscene/story, and then a hearty shove "Off to ESD with you, now play the regular game."
Oh, and some mild bonus for DSC captains that means you have to level yet another captain through the entire game to gain some moderately decent benefit for your account.
I expect we'll get a featured episode on the Discovery bridge (and thus, hopefully, a bridge/interior option pack for our TRIBBLE ships in-game).

They said for the start it will only be Human, Vulcan, and Alien...so currently no new/modified races...but may be possible for the future.
Can't have a honest conversation because of a white knight with power
Well we have Infinity Lockboxes with Discovery items added, a Bonus XP Weekend, a Phoenix Prize Pack Event, and a Flash Key Sale going on simultaneously. Are they expecting AoD to be a let down?

As of right now? Nope. But... that doesn't mean thing may not change to include them and Andorians.
Pretty sure the parts for all the "normal" Federation races are in the Alien CC lists anyway, so it'd be fairly easy to recreate them and later update them to DSC variants in the future if they added them.
T6 Reputations, the comeback of the AoY recruitment event, more hype, more ugly klingons, crapversity and amazing content created on the crappy premise of Discovery.
I admit that my plan was to go Tellarite this time, given that I did the other three Federation starter races for Agents of Yesterday. Alas that is not in the cards! It also seems a damn shame that they featured the AoD Andorian character redesign in the promos for Age of Discovery, but then opted not to include the Andorians as a starter race?
an increase to 10k for the daily refining cap, and the cost of the upgrade to MX XV lowered. currently it is too expensive for a whale like me, so i'm sad for the new players.
about the disco stuff, i'm not excited at all: more grind and 3 or 4 missions without interest. the tv show is really average, I don't expect more than that in sto.
personally, i would like more gamma quadrant stuff, the missions with all the ds9 characters are very great.

Pretty much spot on. If there are no bugs (or old bugs making a encore presentation), I'll be surprised.
Agree. Seeing weirdness on Tribble, I expect it to continue on Holodeck.
And I am just a casual...and "I" see weirdness.
I have no idea what more dedicated folks would experience.

I dunno about increasing the cap for daily refining cap. I've seen what a very high refinement cap can do for the economy in CO, where the max for veterans is 16k questionite. Questionite to zen ratios tend to be closer to 500 due to inflation issues. I think it being at 8,000 + 500(fleet) + 1000(veteran) is fine. I hugely appreciate seeing that the dilithium to zen ratios haven't inflated to broken levels like in champions online.
Just letting people refine more dilithium to me would seem dangerous, it'd deflate it's value.

Bad idea on the refine cap. That's one reason the DL Exchange isn't hitting 400/1 or capping out. More access means you need more DL for 1 zen. Honestly I think 8k is fine. What we need... is a use for the mountains of GPL we have. I'm building castles and pyramids with the GPL I got. FULL SIZE ONES!

They are correct on the ships they come with, the boxed traits are cross faction so switched like all of those.

No, we don't need more Pet tabs, we need a pet tab period!

Wonderful! Thank you!
Still not certain we'll get/can buy the intertior for our own ships, but having the interior already feature in a mission certainly helps.

Kael actually stated that it wasn't CBS who asked them to do Discovery. Rather, STO devs wanted to do it.
