A 'TON' of space missions huh.....I always get suspicious when Cryptic uses generic terms like that.......we've had the 'BIG' and 'EPIC' updates that failed to deliver.....'TON' is meaningless without some number attached to it.
'We developed it to take you right into the heart of the action.'.....I'm sorry,but after 2(!) years this really sounds like 'We were to lazy to actually finish the mission and design a space part for it.'
^ more likely.
I find it sad that a small team can defeat the Borg QUEEN as well...
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] EXPLORE.
Dec '07 Account I EARNED 1000 days...I didn't BUY it! New LTS=Death to Vet.System: 10/10/12 Never Forget Something should be done for those who cared enough to have a 1000+ day sub.
What rewards will we get for this? That's the question. Or will it be a hollow STF like Terradome? Sure we'll all play it and rant and rave about it, and sure kicking the queen off her throne will be a worthwhile reward but then what? A lock box, two uncommons and maybe one rare or if someone is lucky a very rare XI drop?
That concern aside, I can't wait to try this with my fleet!
So - is this also going to be broken down into "Into The Hive Ground" and "Into The Hive" Spce like the rest of the Borg STFs? What are the rewards for this? How about a Random piecce of Proto Borg Tech both space AND ground? I'd be cool with that....
The first Dev blog for Season 7, and it about an STF! I would have thought it would be better to lead with something new. We have been waiting for over 2 years for this. How do I feel? Ya another STF which I would have to play to death to get the stuff I need/want. I'm more interested in how the Omega reputation system will work and affect me. It's taken me 9 month to get the MACO mk XII ground set, I want to know if it will take that long for the Omega.
If this is the only news about Season 7 than we are in trouble.
The TON of space missions I guess will be for the Romulan Reputation system. BTW. TON by most definitions means 100! :eek: Are we getting 100 space missions then? Or is this a Cryptic TON, which is 2?

Maybe you did not see the big one in front of it, most likely to be followed by two, and since we are in mid October and season 7 comes out mid November, we might get lots of blogs leading up to it.
Its been stated more than once that more blogs are coming with a lot more information. This may be the single most anticipated piece of content with the new patch and...i'm disappointed.
I was hoping for a major league STF simular to the original Star Trek Movie where the Enterprise flys into V'ger.
Ground STF's are insanely difficult. With a timegate that requires an almost unfathomable amount of DPS. I've got dominion set gear and i honestly dont think its enough how quickly i die in there. I hope this is a more balanced game on normal/elite because if its like the previous ground. Its not going to be played much and a lot are going to be disappointed.
Ground STF's arent played as much because of what it takes to get the job done. Its a lot harder than space in terms of equipment and skillpoints spent. Have fun...i guess i wont be taking part in this.

Oddly, it seems that the way to survive in Ground STFs is to do space STFs until you can get Mk XI Ground sets then do Ground STFs. :rolleyes:
As for me, if it's fun, the rewards are good, and the changes/additions to STF rewards are nice (with the whole reputation thing...) then eh, I'll do it a few times.
But I'm looking forward to the adventure zone, I've wanted an excuse to bring a boff with me somewhere for months.
Nice, one night when I have enough time to try it. I would love to tangle with the Borg Queen. As it being ground. I love it along with space action. Looking forward to this and other features for Season 7.

At the risk of being opportunistic, I'd really like to invite some of the folks in this thread to play my Foundry mission. If you're wanting some into the hive-style space action, check it out.
You might have to turn down some settings. But, if you're after intense space combat on a Borg-like version of the Vault, there it is.
It might nicely complement this stf.
So, yeah, please see sig if you're angry that this stf is ground-only.
Star fleet being fighting the Borg for decades and still have not develop any better ground weapons that don't need re-modulation, come on!! is time to get us some superior equipment to fight the enemies that don't need re-modulation every 2 seconds.
Don't use a minigun, then you won't have to remodulate every 2 seconds. If you are using the Omega-Set, don't use the secondary firemode first...

The problem is you're using the Dominion set. Which is most useful against Dominion forces and only marginally useful against anything else. The ground STF's (even the Elite versions) for the most part are pretty easy. From my own experience since beta, the ground portions aren't played as much not because they're difficult. But because they're not space.
I've been dying to get these appearance mods for my main Fed character's ship since before the STF Ground/Space split over a year ago. I'm practically willing to pay for the darned things; I don't care what they come on so long as I can get those looks.
Is there any way we could get Omega Reputation for our current EDCs/Salvage/Tech instead of a credit conversion? Honestly, I'd rather have credit for the work I've put towards getting the mark XII sets then tokens that I can't use for 3ish months and that I'll probably have an excess of once I DO get T5.
A I'm just not seeing the point of a straight up Token > Token conversion that we cant use immediately.
tuu:Hey bro whats up
Blue:Not much bro
tuu:Stf?
blue:na bro cant on cool down and i cant be bothered anymore to many blummin noobs wasting my time
tuu:come on
blue:Na i am off
larry:sup bro
tuu:hey stf
larry:soz 22 mins to go
tuu:fed fleet action
larry:And what carry a level 13 player no thanks lolz
tuu:Why do you not you like it?
larry:It just bores me for some reason i cant say why but i just cant play atm i am off later
12 mins later tuu is in the cure elite some moron blows the cube to early and all is lost due to lack of good team mates and dps. Tuu sighs and longs for the day of real team play and the ability to vote out and replace useless players that should be in the minors, if even that. Tuu looks at the ques for pve and thinks na no more time wasting on that.... I AM OFF!!!!
2 hrs of game play 3 stfs 3 times booted from server, players leaving a match early x 3, and cure lost due to skilless players. I really hope the devs can look at these types of things. like more missions that have stories and to do something to get people feeling the vibe again lolz the game has become a ZOMBIE like i said before there is no soul to the game no awe no sense of accomplishment. All i want is fun fun fun no more grind grind grind and grind. Well i am off lol :cool:

Ok, so a space battle is apparently not part of the action.
But then again, what could a ITH space battle provide that the other three can't? Thinking up new space mechanics is a bit too much, granted.
What I would like to see is a new kind of kit the Queen drops, which you can customize with your reputation XP.
That concern aside, I can't wait to try this with my fleet!
First we get the Bortas, which looks like the Hyperion Command Cruiser.
Now the Borg Queen resembles the Queen of Blades.
No space portion is a bummer as well.
If this is the only news about Season 7 than we are in trouble.

Yeah, we should do it like Picard, and Future Janeway did...alone

Yay, I'm not the only one who noticed lol~

Please oh please may the rewards for the STF include the appearance mods "Borg Saucer Pods" shown on the Assimilated Carrier from "The Cure (Space)" and the "Borg Sphere Frame" shown on Donatra's Scimitar in "Khitomer Accord (Space)".
