More Boss Missions Please.

The game seams to be missing Boss characters. We need more missions that involve destroying something tough, - a founder, dreadnought ships, borg cubes, that red monster from star trek XI or some other strange new life-form.

I'd like to see more fleet actions like crystalline entity (just minus the crazy shard thing that no one can work out) that are tough (by all means make it tough to kill) and will take plenty of players to defeat, yet not requiring tactics that no one knows, or mess up by accident.

    I can easily see four Fleet actions being made out of the Borg / Undine.

    One for taking on a proper cube / Undine invasion. Although STO has already reduced the Borg / Undine to being pathetic enemies.
    If they had kept cubes out of the fighting and relegated them to being extremely hard to fight a FA could have been made out of them easily.

    As it is, you would need something like a Tactical Fusion Cube in size and scope to provide a decent sized threat.

    Although... one could use the Undine for that role by having the Fleet action include their planet destroying technique.

    Easiest way to make a fleet action in Borg space:

    Have an attack on Battle Group Omega and make it a BIG attack with decent NPCs that hit hard but DO NOT SPAM THEM. Had enough of Cryptic doing that. Crystal Entity should demonstrate that a single enemy can be more challenging than spamming hundreds of trash mobs.
    Bonus points if you make it an FA that has the Klingons and Federation fighting side by side.


    As for ground actions: I would like to see three, one with Borg, One with Undine and a final one that has both.

    The Borg one could be a simple 'Liberate the population' assualt action.
    The Undine one could be a case of 'Defend / Evacute the population' before the Undine level the area

    The dual combo - would be fun if it was a siege map. Lots of hardcore fighting between the Undine and Borg.
    Easiest way to justify it: Omega Directive.

    Borg want Omega
    Federation are ordered to destroy it at ALL costs
    Klingons want to get their glory
    Undine want to use it to obliterate warp travel in the entire quadrant.



    Personnally, I would like to see co-joint Fleet actions where the outcome of a space fleet action has an affect on a ground fleet action.
    Thus, you could have the FA Space battle against Undine going on while the FA Ground battle to evacuate the population occurs. One cannot succeed completely without the other and it would allow the larger fleets to actually take advantage of their superior size.

    I'm also interested in missions that allow multiple players AND their away teams, the original Klingon Ground Warzone allowed this but it was removed.

    I want more dialog from bosses in STFs and quests... I cannot imagine dialog is a hard thing to do (not saying writing good stuff is easy, I just meant it probably requires less people), so it would be a great way to better flesh out more story and have a better connection to the overall story arc.

    Similar but different note there needs to be space between dialog and action starting. I cant even remember how often I am trying to read a story while somebody (often me) is getting hammered on by some NPC

    There was talk recently that Klings and Feds in the new sector block would be able to do this for STF and fleet actions.
