Ok, been playing OB and to LC (3) till now. These are ideas based on my experience:
(1) Movement in Subspace: Takes WAY to long to get from earth to K7 - or any other part of the galaxy. What about instant travelling to designatet points in each part of the galaxy? Like: Sol-K7; Memory Alpha-DS9 etc.This way travelling would not be as pita as it is now. Especially when you cant go afk because of random encounters.
(2) overall game difficulty: I´m flying a T2 escort - and have yet to find a mission i cant solo without dying. Strategy always the same: Load High Yield II at 13km, at 10km activate AP:Alpha, loadout all weapons, prevent opponent from counter-attacking (scramble sensors?) and load high yield II again. Even the dreaded "hostage ship" didnt stand a chance. I solo Borg Speres in PvPvE (admitted: taking heavy damage). Overall: too easy.
Yesterday I began a mission while still being in a group (only 1 left) who did not participate in that mission. The mission was WAY more difficult (because of the other one in the group). So my idea: Why not letting us increase the difficulty while at the same time increasing the rewards (Xp for example)?
(3) Rearrange the optics of the "Train Boff new skills"-menu. Make the categories (Ensign, Lt. etc) pull down-menus and divide the skills by"Space Skills" and "Ground Skills".
(4) More "mouseover"-help. I find a SCI-device with "photonic theory +7.5". What does that even mean? I have to equip it to find the photonic-theory-skill in my avatars skill list and THEN I know what it does. Not a very elegant solution for that.
(5) Alternating down-times between USA and EUROPE: It cant be good for either one if server mainenance is made during either ones prime time. So: Once it´s USAs turn, the next time europe has to "suffer".
Thats it for now

They could adapt the current Transwarp to do this. Currently it only takes you back to Earth. But it would be good to choose your own destination .
Agree totally with these 2 points...
no they have not.
Thats why I´m saying: "Dont do maintenance always at the same time" - cause that would mean that ALWAYS europeans (or americans) would have to cease playing for that time
I would gladly increase the difficulty of my missions for better rewards.
Play till end of free month...shelve the game.
Thats pretty much how I feel atm ...
