I have been thinking for a while that STO should create a Zone dedicated to TOS series, we already have the Constitution Class (TOS Enterprise) and we have the old D7... so thats a Start.... I was thinking about to start off with is sort of like a Holo Deck where player Captains can go back and relive the TOS Era Battles with the Klingons and even the Romulans which had the Klingon D7s...
It would require a few more Ship classes... I was thinking atleast:-
Destroyers
Light Cruisers
Cruisers
Battle/Heavy Cruisers (Constitution Class) (D7 Class)
Dreadnought (3 Warp Engine version sorta looks like a Constitution Class)
There have been a number of TOS Ship Classes that have been made up for Comics, Novels ect that would be perfect to fit in to these class Roles...
There could be some simple Ground Missions aswell as for PvP and Space Missions also some for PvP...
I think think this would be a nice diversion to the Normal STO game play...
Anyway just a few ideas I had for a while, and would be something for the long term goal for STO atleast around Season 3 or so on....
i would prefer a TOS only zone. But doubt it would happen. we can wish I guess. The kicker is, when this game was just a gleam in the Devs eye, I remember them saying they would make a TOS expansion eventually where you could play just TOS era. I basically play TOS now (kinda hard to tho as I rank up) and do wish they would add TOS hand phasers. Carrying those ridicules large rifles really do look out of place with my TOS crew...

Well its that or there is the absurdly large phaser rifle of TOS days Personally I have no problem with adding more TOS 'trinkets' but as far as a pervasive enviroment, I don't think so, mostly because Trek is more than just a particular era.
Another great example why this game needs User Generated Content ASAP!
There´s so many peeps with their own little favorite Trek-thingy that totally flies in the face of most of what others want, it´s totallly impossible to make everyone happy.
Unless you give us a real "HOLODECK" with UGC and holodeck only skill/XP points gathering.
Make it so CRYPTIC!
Because what this game really needs are a bunch of shut in captains who never leave their ships
We should need to implement and EHC (Emergency Holocraphic Cutoff) in the for of Barclay.
"Attention: You have spent 12.5 hours on the holodeck. This is the maximum allotted time for your rank at this time, please return no earlier than 10 hours from now in order to use your deck credits again."
Well... my thinking is this would be like visiting a holodeck within the game and you enter the TOS Era Zone, where you meet other Player Captains...
and I did say this should be a long term goal somewhere around season 3 onwards sort of thing
Then the UGC should handle this just fine and its a interesting side-theory to think about, as a Dev designed zone though it would most likely just slow down production of the game as a whole.
