Some random thoughts about STO

I've been thinking about this and in some cases my thoughts are inspired by other posts on the forum.

Ok, my thinking is that the remaining admiral ranks (vice admiral, admiral, & fleet admiral) needs to be included in the game as well as a few more tier level ships. Also, once you're at Captain level 10, you should be called back to Earth Spacedock by Admiral Quinn.

Once there, the Admiral would promote you to the honorary title of Fleet Captain. This would unlock "task force missions" where you'd have all the ships you've earned or bought go with you on missions and you could place your BO's as commanders of those ships. This would give you the opportunity to play with all your ships at the same time plus gain more BOs to train. Fleet Captain status would last for 5 levels and then you'd be promoted to rear admiral. This would give you a little extra time to level up skills before becoming an RA.

Also, I think it'd be a fantastic idea to have the Mirror Universe as a bigger part of the game as in a faction. This gives you the opportunity to take over the universe as a Terran Imperial officer.

Further, I think we should have Gorn, Orion, & Romulan BOs that we could choose from since some of these species could've decided to live in the Federation just like the Klingon BOs.

If the folks at Cryptic reads this, I hope they'll seriously consider these ideas.

So what do you all think?? Did I miss anything?? Feel free to add on any other ideas. :)

    Personally, I think Admiral ranks should not be in the game. In real navies, Admirals don't command single ships, they command battlegroups or fleets. They may be on a single ship, but they command the whole group. This is different than a Captain "taking command" of a battlegroup because even the ship an Admiral is on (the flag ship) still has a Captain which is in command of that single ship.

    I've never liked the idea of the Admiral ranks in this game, and I would love it if Cryptic managed to find a way to make Captain the highest rank a player could achieve if they still wanted to captain a starship.

    (not trying to hijack your tread there, CaptainSterling, just throwing out my thoughts...)
