You know, the fact the klingons went around esd today like myself and had loads of fun, and honestly I cant even recall,maybe since WoW days when Ive had so much fun. They really need to implement open pvp through out the galaxy. Of course allow people to choose if they want to be flagged for it.
I do realise what took place wasnt pvp, but the fact you could go into the other oppositions base/starbase and create havoc was totally awsome. I mean there are ways to make it harder for people "npcs" to be killed..just by leveling them higher and giving them better weapons ect. But still people enjoyed what happened and even fed players I noticed had a few lauphs seeing klingons running through ESD on tribble today.
In a story/plot atm with war going on, you need to be able to go to the heart of the enemy...if you can make it there and create mass destruction
Agreed, this is the sort of stuff i'd like to see in the actual game.
Asheron's Call used to have in-game events like this. Most fun I've ever had in an MMO. They even showed up at an in-game player wedding with the game's villain at the time. He just stood there motionless until someone attacked him, then he roflstomped the entire wedding and left corpses everywhere.

I would actually like for something like this to be a monthly event.
I could even see appealing those who didn't want to participate by just making two maps of ESD, one battle instance and one non combative.
Give the Klingons a warp prompt at Qon'os to warp to the battle version of ESD and use a fleet action like prompt outside Sol for federation players who want to jump into the battle.
Something like this would add so much to the game...and that is why I doubt that we will see it happen.
The really sad thing is that many of the funniest parts we have had in the game has been because of sloppy coding on Cryptic's behalf. Like this 'event' like the recolour-able weapons, like being able to put casual clothes on your bridge officers, or Tribbles that grew and got so large they blocked the view of your character just to name a few. But now they are all gone (corrected in Cryptic's point of view) and the game lost a lot of fun factors.
"Real" PvP requires them to "RealBalance" the factions first.
And considering that in accordance to canon, Starfleet always wins in the battles. Sure a lot of ships may be destroyed but SF is always on top in the end.
I agree that this kind of thing would be great as part of the real game. It wouldn't even need to be PVP however. It could be as simple as Admiral Quinn sending out a sub-space message to everyone saying "A Borg tactical cube has entered the SOL system! All nearby ships are ordered to defend Earth!" Something like this could happen once a month (but not on a predictable date). It would add some much needed drama. These "emergency missions" could happen just about anywhere, (Vulcan, Andoria, DS9, K-7, Risa, Q'oNos, Kling, etc...) and use NPC villians.

Im also 100% behind this idea.
I really just want something to shake up the STO universe on occasion and have something fun for the players to interact with as a faction, help build friendships and communities and all that.
Right now despite the federation being at war with at least a faction of every major species, the game feels empty. Its not due to lack of players, I really just feel no sense of really being in starfleet. I always feel like the one ship in the sector, who occasionally groups up with other captains.

Fall of Earth as of 1 hour ago.
I just posted screenshots in your thread, but just a few minutes ago, Tac Cubes showed up at Sol System and we destroyed them!
And then the Breen showed up and everyone lost
We REALLY need to do this more often!
The devs then spawned mobs
I am not happy that I missed this

NONONO because that would actually be fun and real PvP and we cant have that you know

The Borg, throughout Star Trek history have tried to take earth loads of times...why stop now?
PLEASE Cryptic...have this sort of thing as a regular event...its AWESOME!
