    Short Term
    - A mirror Galaxy -R with the BOFF & Console Layout of the Ambassador -R.
    (easy to accomplish, all ship model parts are already in the game. No balance issue Ambassador is already in the game, too.)

    - Beam weapons drawing 25% less energy
    (possible in just one patch)

    - RCS consoles that give a Flat bonus, so ships that need it most can actually profit from such a console.


    Medium Term
    - Bigger variety in exploration missions.
    (Tthere hasn't been any change in STOs exploration system since 2 years, if i remember correctly.)

    - dontdrunkimshoots enhanced exploration cruiser retrofit 3 pack

    - giving different ship types different amounts of power availlabe.
    Cruisers 800
    science 600
    escorts 400
    Additionally raising the possible max power cap from 125 to 200


    Long Term
    - Better sector space travel. Space should look big, not interiors.

    - More factions.

    - Character to First oficer and vice versa.

    Long Term: I`d like to see the sector blocks merged together and the constant edition of new maps i.e. New Xindus.

    I`d also like to see more content for lower ablility players. And an increased level cap as well. The idea of having thousands of Rear Admirals flying around is not very Trek-like, this is a slight ranking system malfunction. But then it`s not a militiary simulator is it?

    1) Update your game download files with the latest patches, it just plain laziness and irritating to your NEW User base to have them download an out of date game and then have to wait while it patches.

    2) Nope, that's pretty much it, stop being so damn lazy you so called Engineers.

    Short - Fix the bloody "I want to repair my ship fast in ESTF, but every time I pop open my window to heal or swap in gear my frikkin shuttle is in the window instead of my starship" bug

    Mid - I'd like them to make "exploration zones" around the edges of the sector maps so instead of being told I can't take my Ody into deep space where she belongs if I hit the edge I just go and hit up exploration missions. Just once instead of hitting a wall I'd like to have my officer say "Permission granted to warp into deep space!" Ideally we would have the "one big sector space map" as well, but I'm flexible on that. Might be a lot of work for very little return to try and replace the current starmap.

    Long - True map building, cutscene generating, and possibly a method to add voiceover to foundry missions. I would go on about things like branching dialogs and alternate quest paths but I assume those are the kinds of things we are likely to see anyway, as they are a bit easier to produce. I'd like the ability to generate terrain instead of working with stock settings. Cutscene generation is a must, the immersiveness when they are done well makes up for all the poor attempts people make at them before they get them right =P.

    I've thought about the voice over issue and in the past the problems were insurmountable. That was before the Foundry Spotlight. Now issues of content and size can be regulated better by the developers. One of the rewards for having your mission added to the Foundry Spotlight could be granting the author the ability to record and save their own voiceovers to the server. They could then be reviewed for content before being pushed live. It would be beyond what is possible to ask the developers to screen the voice content of every foundry mission out there, but if instead they only needed to vet the limited subset of missions that both won Spotlight and had voiceovers added that day, it would be possible. By limiting it only to winning missions you also set a firm limit on the size you require. It is not as if you need to set aside storage space for every mission to have 1G of voice files attached, only the select few who both won and had the time and desire to add voiceover.
    I once again match my character. Behold the power of PINK!

    Short: In certain Borg Encounter missions (fight 4 groups of Borg, fight giant Borg ship), there are giant white 'smears' in space. These smears cause extreme lag, going so far as to even totally freeze my computer. Remove them. Please. I like to play the game, not watch a one frame per second slideshow of it.

    Short Term:

    1. Star Trek Enterprise Away Mission Uniforms (i.e. Away Team Jacket, Away Team Desert Outfit, Away Team Winter Coat, Environmental Suit, M.A.C.O. Combat Uniform).

    2. Star Trek Enterprise Admiral Uniform, Dress Uniform.

    3. Star Trek Vulcan Outfits (i.e. ST Enterprise Vulcan Starship Uniforms, Monk Robes, Ambassador Robes).

    Medium Term:

    1. Star Trek Enterprise NX Class Bridge and interior (Considering that every new starship being released has it's own bridge designs include (i.e. Ferengi, Jem'Hadar, Andorian) it begs to wonder if a Constitution Class interior set was made why not one for NX Class?

    2. Duty Officer Missions with Reputation rewards (i.e. Romulan Marks and Omega Marks).

    3. New Duty Officers: Linguist/Communications officer; Stellar cartographer; and Intelligence officer to consider.

    Long Term:

    1. Additional starship customization both external and internal (i.e. Engine Room, Mess Hall, Sickbay, Captain's Quarters, Ready Room).

    2. Separate bank for Tribbles and Epohh to encourage breeding and collecting.

    3. Andorian Ushaan ritual

    ...

    Because the assets they made for the Devidian FE series meant they didn't have to build it from scratch; which they would with an NX interior. So you're only likely to see this if we get a time travel mission back to that period.

    Short:
    1. The ability to have orion bridges on orion ships. It makes no sense that they would choose to redo their own bridge to look like that of people they barely tolerate. (same for every racially specific ships)
    2. An ability to search the exchange BY FACTION, so i don't have to sift through 100 fed officers to find one kdf one.
    3. A federation Orion char choice (possibly with Zen). It'd just be fun, its probably not happening but a girl can dream right?

    Oh and I have one more:
    The uniforms from the alt 2250s. Idk how the legality would go (idk how copyrights work if they are different for the abrams one or not) But I think my fed characters would look really cute in those short sleeved ones. With that also the short sleeved tng ones
    Mid:
    1. some kind of stand in for the pixel shader for those of us with older computers. I have no idea how that would work but I can't see trill spots and it makes me sad and very confused haha.

    2. more long female hairstyles! Come on cryptic! I want curly orion hair like 98% of the orions in the show!!! Pleeeeassse!!

    3. make a ship? some kind of thing to design a vessel like you design an alien. sure It may be a frankenship but It may be cool. parts of rare ships could appear if you own one perhaps.

    Long term:
    1. Perhaps some kind of reputation thing for KDF players and choices for marauding and Klingon missions and the fed could have section 31 etc. where if you do more dishonorable missions the klingons act meaner to you etc. I hate to hear how honorable i am after I just sold my crew and framed two houses. Doff missions could count too. It'd be interesting to have different paths like freelancer.

    2. More visitable planets. Even if there isnt much there (i hope there would be) but I wanna go to bolarus and ferenginar, betazed, Orion colonies, trill etc.

    3. n general and more love for kdf. We are people too you know! and I wanna fight federation ships much more often. Maybe alterations to dialogue in cloned missions so it doesnt look like everyone thinks your starfleet.

    so i only have on request and it seems more like a mid - long term but either way.

    more shuttle integration. a few ideas would be a shuttle bay you can access from your bridge where you can chose and physically walk up to and board your shuttle. another would be a console that you could launch your shuttle like the saucer seperation or the multi-vector escort. one more would be an option of piloting a shuttle down to a planet versus beaming down.

    I agree with the exploration zones, what about having a feature implemented based upon how far you can go into this "unknown" space before resupplying your ship with fuel and/or food. Prehaps as you get further you could see quasars and black drawth stars and so on. This would be a very Star Trek feature as are we supposed to go where no one has gone before?

    This may however may be a whole patch that may take days or weeks to do??

    Almost everyday a lot of users (including myself) are facing huge lags, and it's clearly server problems. I'm a huge fan of STO, but these problems are preventing me from enjoying the game (even play the game).

    Please, make these lag problems a priority, otherwise you will compromise every marketing effort to make this game profitable.

    short requests...
    a count on particles on hand vs particles needed for various memory alpha or on board ship quests.
    being able to look at another ship and see what armaments are on her (ie being able to study here to build a ship correctly and seeing what works for them)
    fixing glitches regarding the starbase fleet defense 20 man with the remix of the guys voice.

    mid term
    bump up on dilthium refined to 10k.
    more specials on zen based materials.
    more packs for newer players and specials on "gee whiz" ships



    long term..
    other than playable factions (ie cardassians and romulans) sub factions would be a great addition such as mercenaries. Also traits that improve with each evaluation (of course this would cost exp points). (so where are the Yridians?)
    Expansion into deep space for science ships for long term missions yielding rare and very rare materials to build gear or maybe new story lines.
    general overhaul of Memory Alpha.

    and really, charging for extra slots on your account? That is ridiculous. It seems to me that it would be in your best interest to allow at least 10 playable slots per account to buy more gear and dilthium with zen.
    10 slots
    3 federation
    2 klingon
    2 romulan (coming soon! and yes I am looking forward to it and the scimitar better be available)
    2 sub faction (maybe a human or vulcan science expedition or mercenary/raider crew working for the ferengi)
    1 open

    This is a fun game and i look forward to playing it more than I did WOW.

    Mid term
    -First person shooter mode.
    -Better search options in the marketplace such as specific modifiers.

    Long Term

    -Holodeck missions.

    I'm sure these are repeated somewhere in the hundreds of pages above, but my 2 EC:


    Short Term:

    Add many more ELITE missions. End game needs variety.

    Add more options to earn Fleet/Omega/Romulan Marks so we aren't grinding the same missions day after mind numbing day. (I'd love to be able to choose to fly the Rom storyline on Elite and earn Rom Marks, or fight Borg signal contacts to earn Omega Marks)

    Klingons should have to fight a duel in order to gain their next class of warship. Heck, lots more duelling and conflict for Klingons in general.


    Medium Term:

    Completely overhaul 'Explore Strange New Worlds' Missions. Ideally, something open and freeform like the Radiant Engine from Skyrim would go here; a mission from Admiral X to go to Sector Y and explore several new star clusters - including just flying around and inspecting unusual things or actually dealing with first contact. A real 'science challenge' mission would be wonderful. It would be great if missions could start in a similar fashion, then vary based on events and player choices.

    Exploration missions should be fail-able, and hopefully have Elite versions that are considerably more challenging.

    The most awesome thing would be extra rewards for 'staying out' longer and longer, without going back to starbase - signifying a really long deep exploration mission (Voyager would've earned big Dilitihium!)

    In that same vein, expand on the options available in the existing universe. Give me reasons to visit Vulcan or Sol, and things to accomplish there.


    Long Term:

    Include a lot more activities that can be done aboard ship. Perhaps repairs and crew injuries aren't just visiting a shipyard and hitting 'repair' or spending parts, but could be mini-missions undertaken aboard your own vessel to try and repair things yourself, without going back to port.

    It'd be awesome if your DOff's spawned models aboard your ship.

    It'd be even more awesome and Trek-ish if you could play small quests aboard your own ship, interacting with your own crew. Espescially if those interactions gave bonuses (even temp ones) to your BOffs and DOffs.

    And here are my top three for each category, to hopefully get the thread started.

    EDIT: Leaving these up as an example, but since some of them were addressed, I've added another post (I think it's on page 6) with an updated list for myself :)

    Short-term

    - Make weapons auto-holster when beaming down to starbases or for non-combat missions.
    - Add banks and standard vendor NPCs to Memory Alpha.
    - Add some kind of way for us to see our progress at Memory Alpha.


    Mid-term

    - More fleet actions in existing sectors. Ideally, there should be a new one every 4-5 grades in the progression, with several at Admiral.

    - A "task force" interface that allows players to form task forces out of 2-4 teams and do fleet actions and sector battles together.

    - Implement something closer to a traditional crafting system than what Memory Alpha is.


    Long-term

    - Focus on branching storylines; give players choices during the missions that affect the outcomes (and maybe the rewards) of the missions.

    - Introduce missions with a risk of failure that would require you to start the mission (or part of it) over; timers that you have to beat (escape the base before it explodes), the ability for the NPC you're protecting to actually be destroyed/killed, etc.

    - Introduce romulan and cardassian as playable factions, with unique PvE and PvP content for each.

    i agree but would love to be able to play as a borg.

    you could have the freshly assimilated, a partial drone and a full drone, tactical drone, medical drone, etc and then eventually make you a queen if you wanted to play that. levels don't really gain you rank but you get new ships every ten levels and get more life and equiptment. Then you can have assimilation missions and conquer worlds in the end. more of a conquering race. You could aslo have a borg homeworld and more on the origin of the borg.

    Only 1 Short Term: fix bug in the Colliseum episode

    No mid-term goal

    3 Long Term Goals: Delta Quadrant missions + non-playable characters (besides the Hirogen that appear - ie Kazon, Malon, Vidiians, Talaxians, Ocampa); "choose your own adventure" missions...you choose the outcome - no right or wrong choices unlike some of the previous missions (ie DS9 meeting re Borg just before Dominion attack, in Cardassian storyline); more time travel (but to Archer's time) - since the only time-travel storyline is the 23rd century and the Tasha Yar story

    1.: I want to be able to arrange my Boff List myself. I have about 40 Boffs and I don't know why it is not able to arrange them by profession. I have six departments (sci/med/tac/sec/eng/ops) and when I want to compare or do changes to Boffs it is always complicated to browse through the whole list.

    2.: I want my Boffs at Commander level to be able to do their own small missions. Not PvE, or PvP or story missions, but doing some exploring, walking around. Some sort of a light version of my captain. Maybe with the away team.

    and that leads over to

    3.: The Boffs need more customization freedom.
    Off-Duty Uniforms are a must!
    Ground Boffs should be able to put on Kits too! Or at least my chosen leading Commander level Boff.

    Hi:)

    Probably mention already but nonetheless here we go:-

    SHORT TERM

    1 In a high technological universe, isn't it silly not to be able to access bank/exchange etc on your ship? Ship access to bank, exchange and markets seems to me to be a necessity. Scrap the bank/exchange access story on the the 2 ships for Federation and Klingon and instead have them sell unique regular and random items both not anywhere else.

    2 Duty Officer Assignment Mission Chains. An alert as to when missions in a chain group become available and of course where they are located. In a multi-sector multi mission set up, keeping up with assignment chains and where and when they are up is a royal pain to be honest.

    3 Ship manoeuvrability. In all honesty when I first played the lack of this was a turn off. Space ships have nothing to stop them from moving in any direction or angle and the artificial gravity doesn't allow your drink to spill:) So no restrictions on ship manoeuvrability.

    MID TERM

    1 Sector and sector base market speciality please. Each sector has a/some market commodities they specialize in that none of the others have. Of course whatever they are have to be actually useful and worthwhile. E.g. One sector's speciality is combat impulse engines and another sector maybe high end level beam arrays etc

    2 Crafting freedom. Would like to be able to craft what I want not a choice of what you provide. So with product x, I choose what attributes I want to add from a list. E.g lets say a ship shield. I choose from a list what type of shield and then I also choose what attributes I want from a shield attribute list.

    3 Sigh, the ground crew. Besides the numerous mentioned graphic glitches with ground crew. There needs to be better control of your ground team. Things like choice of formation modes, position control, distance from you and when and when not to fire. Of course a ground crew with some sort of self preservation would be nice.

    LONG TERM

    This is pretty much sort out the issues that many keep bringing up before you move on to major development projects.


    All in all you all have a good thing going here. Lots of content with variety and you actually listen to what people have to say. I see no reason why you shouldn't be around for several more years.

    Here are my ideas... not sure if they're long-term, short-term, or whatevery, but... :P

    1. An option to beam your BOffs down with you when you go to non-mission areas (Earth Spacedock, ship interior, etc.)

    2. Off-duty outfits on BOffs

    3. Not sure. :P

    Short Term

    1. Fix the Klingon side: The banks/exchange/mail on Qo' nos you have to go to a specific spot at any terminal to use. Thats been around for a while now guys!!!!

    2. Cargo ships: There needs to be more sectors with these ships!!! The Klingons have no access in there sector. Also DS9 is a trading hub why is there no cargo ships going through.

    3. Defera Borg Invasion: Why is there no bank or merchant? Wow you gave us a mailbox!

    Mid Term

    1. The KDF needs more ships, when was the last time they got ships? The bortas!!! come the KDF needs more support all around. Add new ships Tact, Engy, and Sci.

    2. Loading into the same zone as your teamates. This is a huge problem. most time you join a group you can not get into that zone cause its full. This needs to be that way for space and ground. If you join a team you all go to the same instance.

    3. Fix the All bugs before you make new content.

    Long Term

    1. Fix all the bugs before you make new content. Yes its a repeat!!!!!

    1A. Before you make new content make sure your not going to end up killing the Fleets and Starbase. With the Roms coming out you have ultimately signed the death warrant for the KDF!!!

    2. Fleet base: The amount of Dil it takes to complete any project is crazy! You have a 8k dil cap a day. Hello tier 3 takes 1 mil in dil to complete a small fleet can not hope to finish or achieve. Increase the Dil cap and make dil easier to get along with EC and EXP.

    3. Fix the bugs before you make new content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
