    No thanks, I hate dyson sphere maps, it takes forever to get from point A to point B, my ship isn't suppose to be as slow as a snail when flying at max speed, plus I think those missions should get a revamp, especially the tower one.

    .... we could get a Terran Recruit like how last year we had the Klingon Recruit. I remember someone mentioned Cryptic did not have any interest to create a Terran Faction, but I figured a Recruit is a good enough compromise.

    No. Just no. Less Terran stuff please, not more.

    The best Star Trek series (in my view, obviously) - TNG and Voyager. Neither of which had any lazy mirror universe nonsense (I'm not counting the weird Warship Voyager holodeck episode). It stood up under what passed as sci-fi in the 1960s but it doesn't pass muster today.

    Just say no to DS9's lazy biphobia and sex shaming.

    Just say no to having some goatee-wearing barmaid screeching "Make repairs!" at you every ten seconds.

    Just say no to any more 21st century millennial snark and literal eye-rolling in boob tubes.

    Thomas Riker and Lore were closest things to Terrans in TNG.

    oof, I should have specified, I mean the ground battlezone in Dyson sphere. We have enough Terran ship maps with the Badlands, we need more ground zones with multiple boffs like Dyson sphere battlezone or Nimbus desert.

    The Dyson sphere we have in-game has an inner surface area approximately one million times that of Earth. For all we know, there's a thriving Terran colony somewhere on the other side.

    We don't even know if the Terrans know what a Dyson Sphere is honestly. And if there was a Terran colony on either the Solanae or Jenolan spheres... they've done a pretty good job staying off the radar entirely. They'd have to be self sufficient enough to NOT need ANY contact with ANYONE, and be able to slip through Alliance controlled areas (or Voth in the Solanae Sphere).

    In theory they could manage it with cloaks or very good ECM in the Solanae sphere if they stayed quiet, but the Jenolan one with its noisy, bright, flaring star would be rather hard on their eyes and probably mess up their cloaks (though it could make Intel style stealth easier). Or they could have used a new gate, either an Iconian one from somewhere in Prime that the Alliance does not know about yet, or one of their own cross-dimensional ones assuming they could get to the sphere's relative position in their universe.

    Personally, I would prefer if the devs kept the MU out of the spheres since it is a bit hokey having them pop up everywhere, but the potential is there, especially if they had some plot to use the PU gateways to get forces in position to invade their own Delta quadrant or whatever. Also, stealthy missions like that don't really fit their usual ego-fueled style very well.
