2) There's already a suggestion thread. A whole subforum in fact:
http://forums.startrekonline.com/forumdisplay.php?f=71
3) I think the ingame bug system has a suggestion section as well come to think about it.
1.) The Skills Point Cap @ Level 50:
It is really unfair to all the players, not just the "Free-to-Play" players for Star Trek Online because you are allowed to have different ships, a different number and thus each one can and most likely is armed differently than another, thus you need different skills to make each one work to its full potential but this Skill Points Cap at Level 50 makes it extremely impossible to do anything in Star Trek Online and should totally be changed.
I am not the only one who hates this, and feels that leveling up the really important skills that you?re your ships better shouldn?t have a cap. If I was to retrain and thus pay for something I don't want to do, the same thing will still happen because I need the skills that I already have and yet I still need the ones that I haven't been able to complete to actually make my character the best he can be.
2.) Tractor Beams for Every Ship Automatically:
Cryptic should give' every starship a Tractor Beam, because if you actually watched and know anything in Star Trek, every starship and Runabouts (not all shuttles) actually automatically have a Tractor Beam. Proof of this statement can be found in Bethesda Softworks' Star Trek Legacy. Every starship has a Tractor Beam for every race (Federation, Klingon, Romulan, even the Borg have one but it through canon should be called a "Holding Beam".).
3.) Canon Based Aspects That Are Being Ignored:
A. The Romulans way back in the TOS Era of the Star Trek universe retired both the Heavy Plasma Torpedo and also their Bird-of-Preys. They advanced their technology and stopped using these type of weapons and ships. Instead, they went with a small Plasma Torpedo. (The Cardassians have this weapon as well, and also it is rumored that the Gorn do as well.)
B. The Borg don't have Plasma Weapons, in fact they have "Holding Beams", "Cutting Beams" (like phasers), Gravimetric Torpedoes, and Magnetometric Guided Charges. (And I can prove this as fact because it isn't just mentioned on screen in many episodes of Star Trek, but I also did my outside research).
C. The Remans Don't Have The Same Ships As The Romulan Star Empire:
In fact, the Remans were/are a slave race in the Romulan Star Empire thus wouldn't/don't have many ships of their own minus the Scimitar Class Warbird that was designed by Praetor Shinzon along with Scorpion Class Attack Flyers. There is also a high possibility from some sources that the Narada (and that class of mining vessel) might be of Reman design.
D. The Borg:
After the Star Trek Destiny Trilogy, the Borg do not exist anymore, they have been unmade by the Caeliar and thus don?t exist anymore. There are only the Caeliar that are a peaceful race that are now on a mission of peaceful exploration to find peaceful beings such as themselves so that ?they? can inherit the galaxy.
E. Transphasic Torpedoes:
Transphasic Torpedoes only belong to the United Federation of Planets, not any other race in the Star Trek Universe/Franchise. The Transphasic Torpedoes though were shared with the Klingons, and the Romulans for the fight against the Borg in the Star Trek Destiny Trilogy. The fact is that the Borg adapted to the Transphasic Torpedo and also assimilated it, thus, it is now ineffective to the Borg and they too are now able to use it.
F. The Terran Empire:
Someone made a major guff here and surely never paid any attention to the true color of the starships belonging to the Terran Empire?s Starfleet (there is no Terran Empire Federation), these colors are a yellow strip encompassing the saucer section of the starships? primary hull. There is also for the symbol on their hull that equals ?Earth with a Sword through it?, and every Terran Empire ship has this symbol. Every Star Trek fan should know that so it is illogical that this aspect should ever have been changed and thus ?breaks canon? in Star Trek Online.
5.) More Levels after Level 50:
I have seen some missions that are created by the community mention levels higher than Level 50. This seems to be impossible to be the case and there should be more levels after Level 50, maybe like a ?Fleet Admiral? for the United Federation of Planets. There are even a few possibilities for this to be done with the Klingon Empire as well.
(For every suggestion here, I did my research into the full Star Trek Universe/Franchise. So I can say with 95% accuracy of this is correct.) I can actually add more to this list from all the research that I have done and what I have seen well playing Star Trek Online, but I think, I'll just leave it at that.
1. They put a cap in because they dont want players to max out every skill... its called Focusing what you want to do.
P.S..... you only need 6 ranks in something to get the most efficient use of skill points out of it.
2. technically all ships have tractor beams... just cryptic wanted to reduce the tractor spam, so they made it so only certain powers can actually use it.
3. a. BoP's.... sure. Heavy plasma torps in this game are based off the High Yeild torpedo BOFF skill, they cant just get rid of heavy torpedo's for NPC's without getting rid of them for PC's. unless they just take the skillset from all Romulan NPC's.
3b. they didnt want to have to create a whole new set of weaponry for the borg, since all weapons were designed so that players can get them too, players would be ******** that they cant use those weapons.
3c. The Remans are in open rebellion with the romulans right now. instead of making new ships, the story is they basically stole a lot of Romulan ships.
3d. The destiny series is Soft canon and when it comes to books and such, cryptic can pick and choose what they want to use.... they chose to NOT have the borg destroyed and in fact, with the unimatrix command ships have hinted that in STO's version, the borg might have been made by V'ger.
3e. transphasic torpedos in game are not like they were in voyager, so this one really doesnt apply.
3f. If you recall, the Terran Empire was destroyed in the DS9 Terran Empire Arc.... this is the Terran federation, not to be confused with the old Terran Empire. While yes its basically the same as it was, new name,new goal, new designs to better "infiltrate" this universes federation.
4. (i have no idea why you labeled it 5) yes cryptic plans on adding Admiral and Fleet admiral Ranks. which would bump the elvel cap past 50.
Which in turn would bump the skill point cap, and so long as they dont add many skills, would make point 1 moot.
Send me right over folks ... express delivery guaranteed.
