Usually I am in the German STO forum reading posts but with this thread I want to reach more PW officials and active STO-players. Therefore I decided to write this:
I am a huge fan of Star Trek the original series, TNG, DS9 and certainly of Voyager. ?Enterprise? was a failure so no need mentioning it.^^
The main content of this thread will be about things I don?t like, would like to see changed or would love to see appear.
I know I lot of this things will never appear, but I feel them as worth mentioned:
1. I have a Jem Hadar Boff but there is no buyable Jem Hadar melee weapon! I also would like to have a visual to the Jem Hadar Ground Set.
2. The Workhole near DS9 is greatly animated. But except for the Episodes you cant really use it or fly into Delta Quadrant. That is sad and could easily be fixed with a more interesting map.
3. Speaking of the map: If u guys watched Star Trek closely you saw how the map way arranged. The Borg, Voth, Cardassian, ROmulan, Klingon,?- Territories. I think you kind of messed that up. A map rearrangement would be nice, placing the alpha, beta gamma and delta quadrant in our lovely milky way galaxy. This way you could show which areas/maps are still going to come.
4. What I really don?t get about your way of arraging outer space is the uselessness of those maps like T?ONG NEBULA, D?KEL STAR CLUSTER and so on? I get that you wanted to give ppl the option to just get around and visit new systems, but seriously like this? Those missions are just boring? Make them harder, give them interesting rewards, do whatever it takes to just make them special!
5. I myself made me an alien character that looks like a cardassian. But I miss the typical neck.
6. I personally think, that the whole true way storyline came pretty short. Since I like Cardassians, please make them a playable race (not a third alliance), enhance their storyline, and by that introduce the gamma quadrant with the dominion again^^ (Playing a Jem Hadar would probably draw a lot ppl from retirement and invenst into Zen?)
7. What are the Hirogen doing in our Quadrant? More storyline needed!
8. The Romulan fraction is nicely done. BUT! Seriously, who believes that the romulan empire, even without the Tal Shiar would just sit there without Treason? Pull them out from Feds and KDF make them grow up, stand alone! This would enable interesting new options for PvP
9. PvP needs a makeover? New maps and maybe bigger? 10 vs 10?
10. Stop this Deferi TRIBBLE? they suffered long enough. Will this suppression of poor Deferi stop eventually?
11. We have bad enemies (Borg, Voth, True way, Tholians?) But there is nothing really challenging in them. I think we need something that annoys ppl on ESD at the exchange. Maybe a daily or weekly huge attack on earth from Whoever (a few tac cubes and mother ships, a lot voth ships?) and make captains actually have to participate defending them. If enough captains do this fighting back and participate, kill enough cubes in a certain time, everything is great and good, some rewards here and there, happy faces. If the captains fail, make fleets having to donate to earth to build up ESD again. In this time under siege maybe beam in some borg or whoever actually attack us, making it more fun.
12. The Voth Season is, up to this point, pretty disappointing. Romulan addon was great, Voths are just cheap? Make them more overwhelming pls. Make them the enemy they are supposed to be.
13. I enjoy how u made the ships but I think u made some mistakes with the gameplay. First of all the Jem bug is just too strong. The Galaxy X is nothing compared to the bigger brothers, the Defiant needs a better shield modifier. (Quad Cannons from Z Store ship are TRIBBLE)
14. I WANT to modulate my shipsINTERIOR myself... like to decide which rooms I have, how big they are and so on. And why not let those stupid NPCs on my ship actually look like the Doffs I have?
I know some of this things are farfetched, but just my opinion on things that should be adder or changes. Feel fry to post your opinion^^

As to the content...
2) The Bajoran wormhole opens to the Gamma Quadrant, not the Delta Quadrant. They're not likely to open the Gamma Quadrant up until there's something to do there.
3) The in-game map only covers portions of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, not Gamma or Delta (it's a huge galaxy). The only in-game content that takes place outside of the Alpha/Beta Quadrants is the Dyson Sphere, which is not on the map.
4) A revamp of the exploration system has been discussed for a long, long time. It'll probably be a while before we get one.
6) I personally think the True Way/Cardassian missions are among the worst in the game, and would love to see some improvements there.
7) There are some references to the Hirogen allying themselves with Sela, but I agree that this could be fleshed out more.
11) You're the only person on the forums I've seen to request content that "annoys ppl."
I really admire what they tried to do with the current system, having it generate random planets/encounters, but I agree that it doesn't work. Hopefully with the strides they've made in the adventure zones they can take some cues from that and build up exploration zones that are wonderful and random.
The romulan "add on" was an expansion. The voth "add on" is a "season" and it is a pretty fair one at that.
An expansion would be V1.0.0 to V2.0.0
A season would be V1.0.0 to V1.1.0
A general update or patch would be V1.0.0 to V1.0.1
Expansion is a giant remodeling, adding tons of new content and mechanics to the game. A season focuses on one rather large update or feature. A patch updates bugs and adds minor changes.
My PvE/PvP hybrid skill tree
I was just thinking, that the season 8 Voth-"TRIBBLE" started out to be pretty boring in my opinion. Thats all I am saying.
And for all of the ppl that can't read a text without some blank lines inbetween each point so that ya brains can keep up: another blank line
Now seriously, I made more than just one point and I am thankfull that at least 1 person was actually able to read them all and write some opinion to a few.
All I wanted to bring on was a list of things I thought could or should be enhanced since STO is a pretty outstanding great entertaining game, but it could by way better (PvP maps, exploration systems, ...)
About the "annoying" part, it was an idea of me when thinking about the good old WoW Days where Ogrimmar was under siege^^ I just think it would be an entertaining new thing except this boring Q standing in the club being just a boring npc^
