Science Minigames (anomalies, research....)

I am enjoying my time so far on STO. I'd love for there to be more to do than just combat all the time. I am guessing that it wouldn't be so tough to add some minigames to the game engine. Just a way for there to be gameplay where you are helping overcome an anomaly or research something to help a species out of a disaster.
For example, the minigame from Star Trek Elite Force. The one where you "rewire" the control terminals by turning the nodes to redirect the flow of energy along a path that avoids the "bad" nodes that caused you to have to restart.
Or something along the lines of the "security bypass" minigame from Mass Effect.
Or how about a variation of that computer hacking minigame from Fallout 3. The one where you had a code to guess and you had 5 guesses to make from a list of codes and each guess would tell you which digits you got correct in the right order so you had to work out which ones you had guessed right and search for the code.
Obviously minigames that are more fun than those examples would be great. I'd just love for there to be other types of gameplay to help add to the variety of the STO experience.


I'd also just like to add.............

    Yes! Yes! More things other than combat, please!

    I would wish there were more 'puzzlesolving' type of missions or random encounters.

    I do indeed concur! Wholeheartedly!

    If you want to just do combat you can stick to combat missions!

    If you want something else to do you can do some of the puzzle solving minigame missions!

    Nothing like a bit of variety to make you rediscover your appreciation for something you hadn't done for a wee while.

    Personally I say; BOFF relationship problems that need fixing FTW!

    Also where are the crazy games members of the Q continuum would like to play with a crew of vulcans and a borg doll?? I mean how could the resist?

    For a Starfleet officer I feel more like a bloodcrazed nutjob playing the game ATM, I half feel like filling my bio with a paragraph or two on the horrors of war.

    IMO cool idea, but there are a lot of other things that need to be looked at first.

    Not to be rude, but this forum is the equivalent of wow's general forums... try the feedback section for longevity. :) And I agree more non-combat explore missions.

    They can fix what they have, but that doesnt prevent them from working on future content. Non-comments like that dont accomplish anything.

    Would be nice to see in game, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If Cryptic was smart, they would out-source the mini-games to a company like Pop-Cap.
