The Devs Are Doing The Weekly series just like the television shows do, so like allot of other shows they throw in a movie, maybe every few seasons or so,like B5 did and so on, my thought on this would be like combining a series like weve been getting but played from start to finish, would make for 1 good lengthy mission/movie/season finale sorta. whats yalls thoughts :D

    This would be cool! Another idea would be to have an episode that throws you in some other part of the galaxy, and you're stuck there until you solve the following week's episode. Meaning after you play the first mission, the rest of the week, you have a whole sector of space you could explore until the next mission allows you to get back. Perhaps use the "black hole" area of the Regulus Sector Block.

    I like the "movie" idea - this could be something for the Season updates, perhaps? Basically, we already had this, they were just not advertised as such and not as "connected".

    Heh, nah. I can already see the forums being flooded with "wtf I'm stuck" QQ.

    ouch 50 views and only 2 reply, sure thought it was a good idea, after all it would mean more content, and a longer mission without the weekly wait every few seasons or so.

    Yeah, but they need time to make such a thing. It would be like the equivalent of doing several episodes work in one go, in addition to doing the regular weekly episodes (which they've already said they are pushed for time and need more to do them well).

    They can't just pull these things out of their rear admiral lower half...

    yea i know that lol , i am not talking right this minute or next week , i am saying after like 3 or 4 seasons stop the weeklies for the time it would take to make a movie type mission, then pick back up with the next season.

    A movie would be interesting... but what I find to be more interesting would be if the devs made one 5 episode series and then, pulled something like this at the end of the final episode. Just imagine the forums after something like that at the end of a series and then tie it directly into the next series. :D

    I like the idea, and when the team is bigger, i fully support them doing this. until then though i think the current plan is good.

    the idea of taking two weekly series and linking them together into a grand adventure would certainly be interesting. The fate of the galaxy is at risk. Maybe even introduce V'ger. V'ger would certainly be worthy of a dual set of weekly episodes or even a movie quality story line.

    additionally, can we get a new race, unique to sto, from outside our galaxy, from an adjacent galaxy, like andromeda or something. An episode "where no man has gone before" type miission.

    Maybe for every "expansion" (like adding a new faction for instance) there could be a "movie" episode that goes with it. Something EPIC, like a battle similar to the Enterprise vs Scimitar.


    Likewe go deep into rommy territory and discover something and then get chased across the empire by what we find. We have to reach checkpoints for jumps into warp.

    If they make such a mechanic, they could have us escape the system, and then get chased through sector space by the object. We could be trying to reach a friendly fleet in a certain system, and depending on ship speed, we could either meet up with the fleet, or play hide and seek through a system a few times on the way.

    yea something epic on a somewhat grand scale but not to grand, as stated combine maybe 3 eps and call it a movie instead of an episode, and that idea { to be continued } to kick off the next season episodes sounds cool.

    and Dstahl from want i understand LOVES V'Ger :D
