I am really sick and tired of all these fleet missions where you and your buddies are hangin at the mall with your rides and decide to go do something.
This is not Star Trek. I don't care that other MMO's do it, it's lame.
All the shows and movies are about one ship and it's crew.
I work for a living, I have limited time to play. for some reason I can't get a fleet together at 3AM, maybe they have lives too.
How about some love for us SOLOS now? There are at least 2 way too hard missions to keep the boys from the mall busy, give us SOLOS the missions we NEED!
Click the little player icon in the bottom right of your chat box. Select accept team invites. You can be invited to groups but solo the missions. You wont auto join groups in instances.

You can do all the missions but STFs solo. Where's the beef?
I agree with the OP, more solo content please. I didn't level up all my BO's, tweak their skills and looks and gear them out with the best stuff so they could be benched when I do an STF or something.
He probably means that once you hit RA 5, there is no more solo missions to do and all there is left is just fleet missions and once we do the fleet missions, nothing except exploration. What he probably wants is more missions that you can solo and not being stuck just doing exploration until the next update with another fleet missions. That is what I think he is saying. I too kinda want to have more solo missions that has a good story line to it.

Oh....
I can understand. I have deliberately stopped playing daily, just so I don't hit the bad levels and get frustrated.
fortunately I took the casual approach to this game.

Yes and I agree with this also. The STF content is cool but I'd like some more of the story arc missions as well. I was pleased with the mission content up to RA5 and would like to continue. Since we can't get skill points, I'd expect appropriate

I would like to see more Patrol missions for RA, I agree that the game is lacking new solo story lines.
There is many unfinished story lines from when you level up and I would like to see some of these continued.
New Solo missions would also give us a chance for a little more lore to be added and a reason to visit all the unused planets we have and cant go to.
Since Open Beta, we've had complaints all over this board talking about the fact that there is very little group content to speak of, so much that the joke was this was a single-player MMO. Now, someone's complaining it isn't single-player enough?
STF's are fine and all but 3 Months and not even a new friggen Patrol Mission???
come on! Still not even one tiny Episode for the Klingons?
I keep doing my dailies and that's it.
even the PVP ones and i dont give a sh*t about the sucking PVP, only do it for the medals, dont care if i win or not either.... i get the stupid medal anyway.
A Friend of mine did quit and is not coming back until there are some new Episode Missions. He bought the game (Gold Edition) for 30$ at Amazon with 30 days. And his statement was "i payed 30$ for a singleplayer game, i have finished it... will be back when there are new Missions to do, you want my Credits?"
.... -.-
so the only RL Friend in my STO Friend List is gone now because he cant be bothered with the MMO content in this MMO that is a Singleplayer Game with a Deathmatch Mode and some 5 Player Coop on top.

Give me a break.
This was an MMO where you had the CHOICE to solo, or group. Unless it was a fleet action, but there were lots of people there so you didn't have to wait around for the "perfect group"
With STFs you have no choice, and it degenerates into a clone of every other MMO out there.
Cant you do exploration missions in a team? If so, doing them on elite(once the difficulty slider goes live) should be a fun challenge. And dont forget that once mission replay is implimented you can do them again on elite as well.

This is a joke right? I mean, you can't be serious?! Can you? The ENTIRE GAME is SOLO'able. Seriously. If you can't solo 99.9999999999999999999999999% of the missions in this game ... you're doing it wrong. Yes, you are. From the 'get-go' you can solo a Federation character from start to finish (RA5) in about a month - and that's taking your time.
The only time you get "grouped" is when you join a DSE (deep space encounter) or patrol mission. So ... if you wanna be alone - stay out of them. Because those two instances make up the only group play out there. Besides those STF things, but those are TRIBBLE anyway.

Yeah but at least in other MMOs the 5 man content consists of structured bosses with actual loot tables.

Only thing you need help with is the STF's and the extremly dumb fleet actions. Apart from that EVERY mission is playable as a solo player.

Cryptic forgot the carrot.
That too, there's no suitable reward for slogging it through these STFs.
Mind you, other MMOs also have varying degrees of group content difficulty. Take WoW, you have the tedious but relatively short and easy Deadmines up to stuff like Stratholme.
With STFs you're thrown right into the deep end of massive NPC zergs and long, boring content from the get go.
And I'd take Stratholme over STFs any day, at least Stratholme was somewhat fun and had good rewards.
Actually, I raid-like story mission would be cool. I think thats what the op is wanting. Granted take any regular mission and put it on elite.
I think the guy just wants some more content. These raids dont have story.
I have fun in the raids... figuring out the 'trick' to getting it.
I think a good place for a story mission would be a ship defense mission where ALL of your BOs play into it. Mission'd be doable even if you didn't equip em but easier if they were.
A good STF in the future would be a raid where the TF members have to defend their ships. When they are done the beam over to assist others... but I digress...
As has been pointed out several times now the level cap will be raised to RA10, with new missions going from 5 to 10, later this year. Until they're ready people will just have to make due with RA5 Exploration missions and the few STFs. Or you can just make alts like many of us do to keep busy.

Not quite. You'll be able to replay old missions soon, and you'll be able to do it on the elite setting which should make it a challenge. You will also be able to do exploration on elite, which isnt a cakewalk by any means.

Very true, not a wow fan anymore, but would take any 5 man in that game( even BRD WTF! ) over STFs.

I'm not exactly sure that making it harder is changing it. And I'm also not sure that making it harder will help the OP's "solo mission" issues. Either way you're still left with the same Exploration Missions on a 30-minute timer or STFs. Some of us aren't looking for a "challenge." We're looking for original ideas/missions to play through. As far as the Replay feature, I'd rather do that with an alt then with someone who's already done it.
Lots of player have different beliefs on how this game should actually play. Cryptic is going for both solo and group play. STF's are 3 missions with grouping for end-game. Nothing wrong with them having group options.
As others have stated, the majority of the game is 99.9% solo based, and season 2 in July will have a lot more single content.
I like the game but I wish there was more of a need to group up.
The one thing I've noticed about grouping is that you get more XP in groups. During solo play I'm forced to follow the mission chain, with an extra Exploration and DSE cycle to keep up with the level requirements. When 3-5 of us are playing our Fleet characters together we tend to skp entire missions due to outleveling them.

Is the OP actually complaining about not being able to solo a FLEET action?!?!
Oh....

After all ST is not just Fleet actions.

Some more regular story missions, or even converting over the group missions into single player so we can at least see the story.
I'm somewhat content to grind the exploration sectors for loot but I still want to experience the end game story which is a pain to find a group for.

I don't care about RA5 after I run out of episodes. I'll just retire that character until the level cap goes up and new content becomes available.
