new equiptment slots

How about these ideas for new equiptment slots for ships, like warp core ans stuff.

1. Computer Cores

2. Ship Crews, I'm not talking doffs, I'm talking about basic crew like the 1,750 crew my Fleet Corsair hold. Imagine starting off with a basic mixed KDF crew and then trading it off for Orion Sydicate Crew or if Fed a Vulcan crew. This is my favourite idea.

3. Holodecks, okay not sure about this one.

4. For ships that can equipt them cloaks

5. Allied Ships, so I have a use for the ships I'm not using.

    computer cores would be a nice addition to ships after the warp core was added. I could see a specific facility slot being added to the ships such as an astrometrics lab or an armory. We have seen versions of these in various ships in the shows. Voyager had the astrometrics lab, Enterprise showed the armory. Other examples could be thought up for different ship classes or just a general slot where the "lab" added give a boost. Things like enhanced sick bays or a M.A.C.O. attachment could keep the crew alive or repel boarding parties.
    Adding an armor slot separately would be a huge help on ships as well.

    I definitely agree with adding a computer core slot and a separate slot for armor. A specialty facility module slot would be a very interesting addition as well, especially since there isn't currently much tie-in with things such as Astrometrics or the Armory, for example.

    Your idea for a M.A.C.O. detachment could work as a Task Force Omega unlock, depending on how it would be implemented.

    As for the armor slot, I actually have a thread about the matter, which proposes that not only all ships get a single, separate slot for armor, but that each ship type would have a different modifier value for armor to balance them out. To use an example, this would function in a similar way to how the game calculates starship shield effectiveness.

    These slots could also allow for wholly new sets, as well as starship visual mods.

    All I no is in the near future will have custom kits and possibly up to 6 device slots, instead of 4.:)

    Well, I definitely hope that they'll be getting custom kits out. I'd love to be able to custom-tailor which abilities go into which character's kit. Moving the visuals over to the tailor would also be a plus. (Same goes for space part visuals.)

    As for the device slots, where did you hear this? I'm surprised they'd do that.

    All this just to hide a begging request for cloaking on ships that can't equip cloaks by design and/or intent?

    We will be able to do exactly that, we will be able to pick witch abilities go into our kits. I hope that becomes part of im game.

    And for where i heard we might get up to 6 device slots, i heard on some youtube video, on someones channel they were talking about STO in the future, IDK:confused:
