enemy for everyone

what do you think about an enemy coming out that was against everyone, an enemy everyone could rally behind and take on together, but with a twist....

this enemy would have its own sector of space, or a gateway to his own area of space, but this space is all capture and hold area. you WILL need to team up with other players to get and capture and told the area, in the map, once you have held it, the area turns blue (for example). but the enemy can fight back, and retake the area. not only could they retake a captured area, but they try and take area in fed, klingon or romulan area. if the enemy does take it then you are unable to do mission in the area until you take it back (for example, if they take risa, you can do the summer events until its recaptured). you could even have red alerts, like the borg, if the enter friendly space

    I would be interested if someone with cloaking capabilities suddenly decloaked their fleet outside a planet and we stop them before they kill billions of inhabitants.

    ya, an all out war with someone like the dominion.... you could even have the dominion as the enemy, coming through the worm hole, to battle yet again. would be a good way to introduce there quadrant also

    As far as an enemy everyone is against, they have the borg already.

    However I do like the idea of capture points, it would make it fun for pvp to actually matter in game, say giving a buff to the faction that won for a duration for hours for captures.

    Good luck getting this to actually work. It would require the NPC ships to be able to actually challenge a player ship. It would mean making it difficult, so that all the spacebar-spamming Kirks can't mindlessly plow their way through it.

    Of course, we can't have that. People complain endlessly when faced with an actual challenge that they can't just shoot to death mindlessly. Even if it were truly difficult at first, it would inevitably be nerfed into impotence.

    The NPCs would never 'win' against the continued efforts of players, especially players that can shred Borg cubes on their own, or kill Tactical Cubes while working in small groups.

    the ships would have to be hard, i do get what you are saying, but with the borg its one ship against a couple of players, but what if its multiple hard NPC against real players... would give something to fight for and give people who have reached "end game" something new and ever changing

    IF you do have this idea out in the game, an enemy attacking targets in friendly space, you could even have it so that the "enemy" starts to attack players fleet star bases

    people in the fleet could get an email saying "long range sensors have detected an enemy fleet heading to your space base, eta 24hrs, ready your fleet for the oncoming attack"

    Iconians. That is all.

    Exactly. We already have this in game and it is the primary plot of all three factions.

    Even the Elachi are called their harbingers

    This! Their ability to outdo their own failures is quite impressive. If only this power could be harnessed for good.
