    Sweet! Wasn't expecting one of these. :D

    It sounds like lots of big plans. No mention of the Foundry or PVP, but those are issues for more specific groups and less applicable to the general community. Still I hope you'll still find time on the schedule for those.

    I think some folks affected by the "Flying High" bug will appreciate the news that there are 2 more days available for getting the corvette.

    The upcoming stuff sounds pretty awesome. That concept art is intriguing, to say the least. :eek:

    I voted for Enterprise, because it's by far the most underrated series and deserves much more attention. And I'm still holding out hope for an NX-class interior, both for my ship and for use in the Foundry. Besides, we have a ton of DS9/TNG/VOY stuff in the game already.

    A story where we time-travel to the Earth/Romulan War of the late 2150s would be epic. :D

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Excellent!

    Glad to see these types of announcements :). Particularly glad you are looking for opinion via polls. I would be nice to see that utilized more often.

    Nice read.

    So, judging from the concept art, I'm thinking the new enemy from Voyager is the Malon?

    Also voted for Enterprise, because we have seen barely anything from that series in-game. Also hoping for an NX-class interior.

    It's also an era of Trek that has not been gone over in much detail - what happened between the end of Enterprise and the founding of the Federation? What was the Earth-Romulan War? Could make for some interesting plot-lines to explore.

    A friend of mine suggested the Vaadwaur which I actually like the sound of.

    i wish it was multiple choice :)

    it's hard to choose between ds9 and voyager but since i can only choose one i'll go with voyager the delta quadrant has many species and i hope one day we can travel to it ;)

    Kazon has some interesting ships
    More of species 8472
    The homeworld of the borg? ;)

    Great news about the upcoming features, like the space adventure zone. But the last thing what this game needs, is another Rep-System for more grind.

    "We have learned a lot over the course of making the Legacy of Romulus update and have spent the last couple of months reviewing your feedback and addressing issues that were introduced with the expansion. It is great to have such an active community that is willing to share their opinions and even email us directly about features that would make STO even better."

    If I had known we could email suggestions for the game I would've sent several by this point.

    I hope we aren't fighting the Voth. The slang term I'd call 'em would be "dinos" (much like I call the Tholians "bugs"), and that would insult the proud warriors of the Gorn who would help keep the Alpha Quadrant safe from Jurassic enslavement!

    I dunno, space garbagemen don't really instill fear into anyone.

    Haha this was my problem too! There are so many one time species that we met in voyager (and some not so one time species) that it seems logical to go that way.

    When the state of the foundry is going on 2 months non-functional due to bugs, loading screens, etc., it might at least get a mention in your overall state of the game.

    Voyager in order to see a Delta Quadrant Expansion.

    There are so many new races and ships in that area.

    This Quadrant can at least introduce the Tsunkatse PVP arena.

    Tricky poll!

    Voyager I think would be tricky to do - after all, Q said the Federation weren't meant to be in the Delta Quadrant for another 50 years - making us twenty years too early at the moment. That's not to say it couldn't be done; just that I think making the Delta Quadrant explorable would be a bit much.

    DS9 is my favourite series, but I think has been very well covered: there's elements of the Maquis, the Dominion and the True Way in there already. Perhaps a bit of info on the democratic Cardassian state would be interesting.

    TNG seemed to revolve, inasmuch as it had serialisation, around the Romulans - which we have; the Borg - ditto; and Q - who pops up every so often but is hard to use in an MMO.

    TOS had a bit of continuity in its stories, revolving around the Klingon Empire and the Romulans - but again, those are both covered.

    So I picked Enterprise, as a lot of the races we saw had never been seen before; and as a consequence, were never seen again (according to the in-universe chronology).
