basically all i want to know is do we only get quests (or quest starters) from the starfleet command icon? do you ever beam down to a random planet (Riza lets say) and there is an npc that will give a quest?
That's a great question and I hope they add something like that. Perhaps with some good rewards but less XP or something.
I had no idea anything was going down on Andoria until I was looking up Tribble breeding, found I could buy some of the 64% food I needed on Andoria, and went there.
That is one of the things I am hoping they will expand on later on and allow us to explore at our leisure instead of for missions. I'd love to say go to Bajor and pop in and say hi to random people. Or say a planet that has only recently been occupied by an alien race you get to visit again and things have changed based on your last visit or a consistent server wide change.
Imagine flying through risa system and pick any planet and beam down. May be empty, may be populated. Are they friendly or ones we aren't supposed to visit quite yet as they are behind us technically. Thats for your officers to tell you. Heck, it may not even be a planet you can land on at all due to its atmosphere. And, hey, how about finding the odd artifact and able to sell it to the ferengi at absurd prices rofl. The possibilities are truly endless if they have the means to do something like this.
As far as im aware no its all through 'hail starfleet' etc. Adding random NPC's with missions on certain planets would be a great way to enhance the 'explore' aspect of the game though.
I would like to have missions aboard your own ship too. Like puzzles and whatnot that you would expect to see on the big screen. Obviously they would have to release the rest of the ship first (I believe they are working on that) but it would be awesome if you had to do some sort of detective mission on your ship. Maybe you could even enter some sort of mission where you fend off a load of klingon NPC's and then all of a sudden another ship decloaks and they beam aboard, thus putting you into your ship where the objective is to fight them off and secure areas of the ship.
Maybe they could for example have some form of prisoner system where you can randomly pick up prisoners. Much like pirates of the burning sea. The difference they could have here is you would then be able to go to your brig and talk to your prisoner. The prisoner may have some interesting information in exchange for something (could be a 50/50 system where you pay for a random reward of XP or whatnot which could either be very large or very small or somewhere in between!). Maybe the prisoner would offer some sort of mission that you wouldnt get otherwise.
How about walking into your on-ship bar/lounge and have some sort of interactive mission where you speak to various of your crew members to find out certain things. Maybe this could quite simply be for a small XP boost or maybe you could find a crew member who is actually highly skilled in a certain area and as such can become an officer or train one of your existing.
It would be quite entetaining to have some sort of tribble infestation mission too like the well known (and loved) episode from ToS!
They could do a lot tbh.
If they could pay my bills and a bit more to keep me happy id go work for them where id just sit there spewing out ideas all day... (I make good cups of tea too! :cool: )
