Will there ever be territorial control mechanics in this game. A yes or no answer is all I need. No need to give a timeframe just yes or no.
Thank you,
Thank you,

It's not going to happen sadly. But I'm sure a fully fleshed out KDF faction is just around the corner!

Everytime they do a season its min effort for max cash.
rolleyes:There is so much stuff that looks good but it not done.
I give you a example the Vulcan system you can beam down do a mission and thats it. It was suppose to have shops, venders, rare ships and shuttles, Vulcan duty officers. The whole works. But it was set a side for projects that would make them money.
Risa suppose to be the social zone were you go to meet friends play mini games. Put on hold for projects that would make them millions of dollars.
Delfar supose to be a hot spot rare weapon venders, Delfar ships, fighters, duty officers,
put on hold for things that would make them millions of dollars.
Terror dome remember Terror dome suppose to go into the que system so people could play it sorry need to make millions of dollars.
Season 8 if there is one? Should be called were going to finish the projects we started but didn't finish because they wouldn't make us millions of dollars
Someone please get rid of the stupied crystal entity no one does it no one plays it no one que's it.
Yes only exists for those things we are actively making right now, and have a reasonable believe will ship.
No, never exists. Everything is always a possibility later. Some are more likely than others, but there is no way for us to predict what's going on with this game 5 years from now. We can have ideas of where we'd like to go, but that's not something we like to advertise because it sets up false expectations.
The most I could positively tell you is that there is no territory control in Season 7 (launching tomorrow).
So . . . maybe.
Seriously
:P

Please don't.
tlhIngan maH! (We are Klingons!) *stabs a bloke* WE CONTROL THIS TERRITORY!
Once they figure out how to time-gate and monetize territory control, we'll get it.
I wouldnt hold my breath. If that is the sort of gameplay you wish, go play EvE. They have always had territory control.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
I'd pay a Kickstarter for Territory Control...
When the factions become more balanced, then maybe.

Fleet starbases will play some role in future fleet vs fleet (KDF vs FED) territory control game ("controlling and or harvesting a vast variety of resources")
sources that this come from include Ask Cryptic April 2011 and June 2012. Below is that was asked from those dates.
April 2011: Q: HerbieZ Do you have any plans to make mineral mining and resource harvesting take a larger more dominant role in the future?
A: While I wouldn?t go so far as to say a ?dominant? role, we do plan to continue improving crafting to the point where building your own Starbase or Starships could involve controlling and or harvesting a vast variety of resources. This is all scheduled for Season 5-6 timeframe.
June 2012: Q: (Roman12291969) Is there any way the Galaxy map can open up, and make that real time? Where fleets can really have a stake in what?s happening, and you can actually fight for key sectors?
Dstahl: The ideas about having a territory control game or one big sector are exciting to the team. This is one of those features on our to-do list, but it?s not on our current schedules. We have several steps in-between planned in order to get us to a place where we could do that. Having Fleet operated Starbases is one of those steps.
Obviously, from what you can see here, territory contol as of June was on a to-do list. Keep in mind that the focus is to deliver on endgame content right now. You also have to look at what each faction tends to think about territorial expansion.
Federation: Doesn't pressure other worlds into joining. Territories grow as new members decide to join on their own terms.
Klingons: More focused on expanding territory by taking advantage of a situation. Traditionally, they have added by conquering other races.
Ha! Everyone knows that 1 KDF is worth 4-5 Feddies! We'll wipe the floor with 'em!
This is a valid (and as far as Ker'rat goes, incredibly true) statement.
I would agree before they raised the level to 20, as before it was a pain to get to 50, and those who did were masters and true warriors, now not so much. :eek:
And why it has to be only UFP vs KDF? why not UFP vs UFP? KDF vs KDF?
There's always be more Humans than Klingons, its just the way it is. Everybody or at leats the majority finds more attractive to play as a human, its just because we're humans.
Personally i think if Cryptic plans to do some Terrytory Control UFP vs KDF only, that will be a mistake. Because you can do some EPIC battles between UFP and UPF!

The Vulcans will crush the Humans....it's only logical
So why can't you tell us what is being worked on but with no dates or timeline and just let us know?
(been bugging me for ages now)
No thanks. . .
Because if they do that you get the incredibly vocal KDF faction on this forum, which remains incredibly angsty about things that DStahl said might be coming years ago but which haven't yet come.
This forum is a great example of why telling your users anything is a terrible idea. You can't please all the people all of the time, it's true, but it feels like every time the STO team talks about where they want the game to go it just turns around and bites them later.
NO - The way the game is going and for what I have seen over the past years - That will require time and effort.
There is already a NO answer to a third Faction, there will be a NO to this as well - UNLESS - they manage to fit in some Grinding in the process.
Also - PVP is all but DEAD, so rest assure there is NO "maybe," just plain old "NO."
