I request the following....

morrow

Is there by any chance that STO can have new sectors, ships and skin variants at all?

- Request the Veridian Sector in the Beta Quadrant, to visit the crashed Site of the Enterprise's Saucer section and the Memorial Site of Captain Kirk.

- Request Rare Starfleet Vessels:- Curry Class, Miranda Class Concept designs, Sydney Class, Excelsior Class Concept designs, Intrepid Class Concept design, Akula Class, Apollo Class, Antares Class.

If it were possible these ships would be purchased by Zen or in special promo packs over time. Just need to make the game more exciting with new ships.

- Request All Terran Empire Skins and Variants for all Starfleet vessels, even those from other games and novels.

FYI, with one or two exceptions Cryptic is not able to get ships, costumes, characters or stories from other games, novels, fanfic or fan art. Cryptic only gets the rights to CBS and Paramount content with their Trek license and they have said before it's too difficult and/or expensive to get additional licenses for that other content.

^This^

Any ships seen in other games are owned by the respective companies that produced said games.

However concept designs may be on the table, as we have seen Cryptic convert a couple into variants of existing ships, such as with the T6 Defiant. So getting a Concept Intrepid might be doable if CBS gives the green light.



Another exception seems to be concept art from when Perpetual had the license for STO, since Cryptic had inherrited it from them.

Note how the first Unknown in the second row shares similarities with our Scryer class. And you can actually put Phantom nacelles on the Scryer for that more compact look. And the Sacagawea looks like the Aquarius. And I think the Iowa became the Gladius variant of the Saber. We also get a cameo by the Excalibur in a cutscene in Delta Rising, as one of the ships in Jenolan.

The Sydney class... I think that was the USS Jenolan in TNG, so... probably fair game.

As for new sectors... I think Beta Quadrant is already as big as they can go, so they'd need to make a new quadrant map entirely.

The Unknown in the top row didn't just make it into the game. It Merged with the Tahoe next to it, bounced back to Paramount/CBS and showed up on screen in ST Picard. It's what we know as the Inquiry Class.
