I have been playing STO for about a month when i can. I am a lieutenant 9 and keep doing the missions that I am "ordered" to do. With all this talk about new missions like "infected" coming out,even though i am not qualified yet to do those yet,How long until we get to choose our own missions or do we just keep following "orders"
Rofl, you don't have to do the missions. It will just mean the story arc missions will not resolve into the higher level ones.
Pure choice ones though are Patrol, Defend, PvP and Exploration. Those you can do when you choose to do them and are repeatable. The PvP ones I am not definite on as I don't PvP but I am sure others can confirm or deny.
The Story Arc ones are those that Start in Klingon Space, Romulan Space, Cardassian Space etc for Federation. There are probably similar for the Klingons themselves. Each set of missions will involve fighting the npc's of that race and thus will progress you through each of those areas as you get more missions there.
However, If you have any mission ideas that you were hoping to do feel free to post in one of the mission idea threads floating around the area or make your own thread up in say Feedback > Missions. Cryptic say they read these forums and take ideas on board. So always worth offering suggestions... you never know what will happen in 6 months time.
