this is just an idea, but what about a free-for-all area where its like a (last man standing), as in when it starts u have like say 10 mins and the person with the least amount of DEATHS wins a prize (and of course even the losers get something). When i say free for all there is no teams everyone is your enemey even your team mates. Each rank would have their own free-for-all, and to make sure that the items/prizes dont outdo what that rank COULD have make it a rare rank exculsive item.
An other idea that i had which Crytic may already have in the works is playable Romulans, Borg, and even Cardasians, who wouldnt want to be able to play any of these guys
Update: A way that they could do it is make a holodeck on all star bases that have programs that are called "Free-For-All", as well as one called "King/Queen of the Mountain" one for space and one for the ground. Like one person mentioned as far as cloaking and winning that way you would have to have kills, to death raitio that would determan the winner.

I think that this is a great idea! I know that this is already, somewhat the case in the current PvP scenarios, but I like where Moriegn is going with this...complete and total free for all. A once, or twice a day tournament, that carries a prestige associated with it, like a special title, to signify your accomplishment for all to see! Set up a queue system, like an online poker tournament, so that every one in the queue gets sorted by rank...that's it, no sorting by faction or race...the ultimate wargame! Throw the rank sorted groups into their own instances, and let them go to town! Either once you're dead, you're out, or, more fun for everyone, time it, and keep score based on kills v. times killed...total kill score=kills-times killed...person with highest total kill score, wins. easy scoring system and it keeps the crazy action going the entire time of the tournament I like this idea! It could even be grown into an arena system, so that Fleets could reserve the space to conduct training/ tournaments of their own. I like your idea Moriegn. I hope that it comes to pass! That would be really exciting!
Good idea but i think it would have to be an environment where you can't cloak.
if you can cloak, then the klingons just wait until one fed remains then fight it out, if you cant then the klingons just have weaker ships and die first. tbh a TRIBBLE plan either way
If the prize was paid out on total kills then cloak is not an issue. Using cloak means you are not killing something so the cloak becomes the penality. Use time limit, with total kills and DPS as a tie breaker. That should keep the playing field level for all.
The cloak not cloak tradeoff could be respawn length. Perhaps it should be longer with each death up to a certain maximum.
The time limit means if you are cloaked you are not making kills. How does staying in cloak an advantage then? Stay in cloak and other people are scoring. True cloak helps with your alpha, but thats as intended. Under the scoring I suggested you are only rewarded for kills and dps not kill to loss ratio.

They talked about a last man standing, so if you decloak you get killed and it's over.
I don't think a last man standing would be viable with the current game mechanic. ppl would evasive+full engine power out, cloak, full impulse whatever. Not to mention maybe same spawn/warp-in-points.
On top of that every free for all-battle would have nothing to do with Star Trek, I can't imagine any way to implement this in a way that would make sense in a Star Trek universe, and will therefore not happen.
:Dthat would be great for say if your a really awesome federation character but your bogged down by really stinky guys on your team so the klingons/Federation would win. YOu could let loose of those teamates and let your pvp skills shine! Great idea. Cryptic wouldn't be smart to make something like this.:D:D

If we played on a holodeck, it would make sense. a holodeck on K7. we can give something up as a wager to enter matches. winner wins reward, everybody else loses wager.

No that would take away from the klingons, and unfair. but u could put something in it so that cloak only works for a short time so they dont have the upper hand in it all. plus once they uncloak to attack they are free game to all even their own.

why wouldn't it happen, in the whole star trek world they have simulators, and holodecks that are used to train their troop why wouldn't there be a free for all in the star trek world.
A way that u could do it is have a holo-deck on every starport and its a simulation at the startport that is named Free-for-all. and futher most i believe that all players would love to have a place to hone their skills to improve on there fighting skills, u could also have one for a groud campain called "king/queen of the mountain"

but what im talking about is a win or lose not who out dps's someone else. Who cares if you were out dps'ing all around u, if u still got killed. DPS is only one part of the game, knowing how to keep your shields, and your hull up is just if not the most important part because if i have full shileds and my hull is full, even after u attack and all i did was widdle u down who would be walk/flying away??
