So, the rumor is that PvP is getting an overhaul in Season 9 (forgive me if I don't hold my breath).
Does anyone know what said overhaul actually includes? What could Cryptic do to give PvP a kickstart that wouldn't require changing massive parts of the game?

Don't forget to queue for small craft arenas too. I'm willing to bet Cryptic is paying attention to how many people participate in the only space PvP addition since launch, and that it might have an effect on future PvP development.
Homestly though brandonfl, thar shuttle arena was a 10 minute work copy paste job imo. Just add an entry in the queues and duplicate the data, change some restriction variables and done.
ok so we got 10 minutes of pvp work in 4 yerars haha.
Having said that, I think you have to be careful what your asking for, you may want more attention but given the direction of the game and it's focus, are you sure you want it?
Spoiler:It may end up nothing like what you have now and may be massively dumbed down with even more pay to win than it is now.

Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
I haven't played STO much in a long time, and have pretty much given up on PvP now. I am unlikely to return in the given state. Maybe PvP can get even worse, but I know if it stays it is, it won't bring me back, neither to PVP nor STO for long. I'll level my Romulan, maybe try the new KDF missions, and be leaving again. If it changes, there is a chance I could be drawn back.
Of course, I don't want to ruin things for everyone that enjoys PvP right now, but if I am allowed to present my subjective and egoistical view on this...
as for space pvp...nope...unless you like shuttlol pvp.
and i bet people won't like the revamped space pvp anyways if there's gonna be one at some point...
Would be more fitting...
I would love them to TD the ques.
However I think what we are more likely to see is a battlezone more like the new voth one involving a lot of PvE with the ability to do some PvP. A mix between Kerrat and Cap and hold... if they bother with space. More likely they do a ground version... because they like doing ground stuff it looks better on there resumes. You don't get hired at blizzard doing space MMOs. I am half kidden I think.
Oh, wait I totally misread the title.
unnecessary and slightly cruel, thanks for taking me back to 1996 :P
If Geko decides that the "bag" for kits with the revamp should be overalls - there's going to be a bunch of groundpounders that remember your post here. :P
LOL
Ok back on topic, main thing I would like for PVP is some kind of lobby system to make it easier for teams to find other competitive teams to face so they don't have to waste as much times searching the queues if they can find full teams to fight there. This would hopefully address many of the premade vs pug issue many are complaining about without forcing premades or pugs to not use the current queues. Also it could have a TD mode that would randomly balance teams.
A new dyson sphere warzone also sounds fun, I would like a new space warzone and also the current ones need some working on.
Cap and hold should be made more interesting by more incentives to actually capture and hold such as receiving buffs and/or npc allies.
It has helped for the last few years
Oh and PvP content doesn't necessarily mean more muddling with the current mechanics, a new warzone, kerrat like, new dynamic hazards, new arena/CnH maps would be fun
Ever experienced the feeling you really wanted something badly and when the moment was finally there you were disappointed about your feeling that should have been excitement?
The problem is, PvP won't see any significant increase in numbers until they fix the system itself. Segregate the uber-skilled players from the newbies, make it impossible to have premades in the pugs (meaning if you want to fight in a premade, use the private queues), and add to the rewards PvP can offer. That would take a bit more work than some zones and maps.

I don't look forward to reps.
It will be funny when they rage over their own rep powers being too OP.
For that to happen they would be smart enough to be more of a challenge :P
In other words, if the human brain was simple to understand we would be too simple to understand it,

Perhaps even with some strategic sectors in it that's preventing far away ships from detecting you inside an asteroid belt and stuff like that.
PVP and PVE would be most wanted. Game modes like that exist for a long time although they were usually rts based.
