One think about STO which I would really add to the enjoyment and the "feel" of Star Trek is to give our bridges of our starships more uses. Allot of the Star Trek shows and movies had lots of activities on the bridge.
Here are some examples.
- Traveling in sector space from the bridge
- Selecting away team members from within the bridge
- Changing Starship components/weapons within the bridge (or engineering)
- Allow chatting or checking e-mail within the bridge (or captain quarters)
- When hailing a starbase/outpost/ship, show the animation and dialog in the view screen of the bridge.
I have not thought out these ideas, but where some things that just came to mind to give the bridges more of a use, other than just a meeting place.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR IDEA'S TO THIS THREAD.
Agree 100% Even make the Bridge veiw screen so you can fly missions PVP etc from the bridge. Fly next to a ally or even a Foe and invite them over to a working bridge etc. You never know you could invite some one over and have to call security. It could really open some doors to a more in depth game... Good thought, and that was my main request in updates too. It's fun to visit the bridge but think if you could sit in the capt's chair and tell seven to engage towards the next mission. Or whoever.
one thing that they have said that cannot be done with the engine is to use it to travel in sector space. Perhaps they can work it out but last mention was that it was not possible.
1. The scale of the bridge is way off, they are just two big, and so are the hall ways.
2. Missions: In star trek there were whole whole episodes that took place on the ship only.
No need to go fight the Klingons today, the warp core has developed Artificial Intelligence and it is reprogramming the Food Replicator...
