I'm curious if there are any groups out there theorizing, discussing, and presenting ideas for game improvement to the devs. I've had many of my own ideas but I hate to flood the forums with threads that may have already been done. Does anyone know if there are any forum groups out there doing such a thing? An "Engineering Corps" as such? If not, how many people would be willing to do such a thing with an open mind?
I think the key to starting up such a group would require some organization. Primarily a forum for discussion either outside the main STO forums, as many threads get lost to the ranting. The other possibility is a new forum section for such threads, but this would have to be approved and supported by Cryptic. I think Cryptic would take to it, they have to be the most community receptive dev group I've ever seen. Not to mention the fact that this would allow a way for ideas to be presented, discussed, buffed out and presented without Cryptic or Atari having to pay anyone for it. They would just be left with implementing it. With good support from Cryptic, we would be able to present these ideas in a way that would be feasible for implementation. I think that is the biggest problem with most idea threads is the lack of consideration and Cryptic feedback on what it would take to implement the ideas.
I'm probably ranting now, so I'll turn this back over to replies and see what kind of interest people have in this. I suppose what I'm looking for is what kind of support I can find in people interested in participating in such a thing.
