What are your opinions expectations on the following in the next 6-12 months?

Do you think we will see seperate servers like other MMOs? And/or a transition from open instanced zones to open world type systems zones?

--- I read that there going to make Sol a complete solar system from Mercury to Pluto, think they will do that to other systems?

Do you think we will see more ship slots? And ships?

What are your inputs??

    I have a feeling that each planet in SOL will be instanced, not all one big open solar system, but who knows, it's possible.

    That far into the future? Well.....

    *Probably a playable Romulan faction by then.

    *Far more content throughout the game, with a slightly slower leveling speed so that we can enjoy that content without leveling too quickly.

    *Lots of end game stuff.

    *I would imagine the level cap of RA5 will be raised quite a bit by then.

    *New sector blocks will probably be there. Heck a whole new quadrant might be there at that point.

    *C-Store will probably have a LOT of stuff in it by then, whether I like it or not. :p

    *Ship weapons will have autofire. Perhaps for all weapons or just selectively for energy weapons.

    Thats about all I can think of atm.

    It kind of makes me want to get a Delorian, travel into the future, kidnap myself and send HIS silly a** back in time, staying in the future and getting to play the game HE doesnt deserve. Yes......thats right.

    The game has made me hate and envy my future self. He has it coming and he doesnt even know it yet. Wait....he does know because I know. He'll.....be prepared and waiting on me! Maybe I should think this through a little better...... :(

    No, I don't think you'll ever see the game be separate servers. Many games do just fine on the Instance Shard system. Many of us enjoy the idea of getting to play with anyone else in the game at any time. Also, because of the nature of visiting planets and systems, I don't think you'll ever see STO being Open World.
    --- I read that there going to make Sol a complete solar system from Mercury to Pluto, think they will do that to other systems?
    Given time, yes.
    Do you think we will see more ship slots? And ships?
    Slots, as in more then the current 8 limit? Probably not. More ship skins? Yes, I think we'll see lots of different skins added to the game.

    I don't know about separate servers, but from what I understand about how the technology works, I believe it would be much more trouble than it is worth to convert the game to an "open world" type thing. The expansion of the Sol system wouldn't be too hard though, at least I don't think it would, and that would be a welcome addition (as well as being able to land on Earth, say at the Starfleet Academy in San Fransisco?). More ships is just about a given, I think. In addition, I think the Klingon faction will be added onto extensively.

    I meant the solar systems being open world zones as well as the sector space that you travel inbetween solar systems. where everyone that is in that zone you can see flying around. Planets for the most part staying as instanced zones. I like the planet zones as they are now. Bigger variety in missions would be nice but I enjoy the ground zones for the moment. Did my first fleet ground action the other day, it was awesome, i really felt like a soldier charging the enemy on the battlefield with my fellow comrades.

    I read somewhere, either in game chat or on the forums that when we pop into an instance, we are in instance # of this many #. Guess its not what I am used to when playing MMOs. Perhaps in time I will grow understand it better than I do now and get used to it. Just more used to seeing either 2 or 3 groups running around the instanced dungeon, or you or your group having your own instance.

    It this point I would be worried about a preemptive strike. He has a Delorian too, right? ;)

    I'd like to see this so that the nightly maintenance isn't hitting some people right in their best play hours. I know that Cryptic likes the Single world server idea, but it has this tremendous drawback.

    Otherwise fleshing out a lot of the current missions would be nice. The replay value is going to be a bit low until they put something else into some of the exploration missions. I have some ideas I have been thinking of putting into a post, but have been playing so much I haven't had time to organize my thoughts on it.

    However, I believe the game is off to a great start, and very much look forward to seeing it going forward.
    :cool:
