A slightly different discussion here, seeing as we're normally always talking about what we'd like to see added. What would people like to see removed from the game? A simple ship, a reputation system, a weapon, a species etc?
Would be nice to have explanations for all your answers, though said reasons aren't mandatory.
Lockboxes with unpublished winning chances (Meaning as long as they post the actual stats for the winning probability, I am fine with them). In fairness, I don't like the mixup alien ships but Pandora opned the box... We're stuck with them.
PvP (I know... that one was obvious).
Tellarites
Visual effects when you activate skills (It's the last thing I need to be able to remove to get that proper space feeling).
Dilithium requirements from Reshearch.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
Okay, this won't be a popular one - but since this is all about personal OPINION......
The Scimitar. The OP nonsense ship that took powercreep and introduced it to Usain Bolt. Hate the design - it looks like a reject Batplane design created by some 12 year old fanboy.
And I am not interested in having a discussion about this - it's all been said before. I don't like it. I can see why others do, but I - personally - don't like anything about it.
Some of Cryptic/pwe ferengi greed. So sometimes we have bugfix instead of cash grab. So sometimes we have something done for game balance or simply fun, instead of cheap content and making money on the power creep. So they doesn't stop working on something (Klingon faction before, now Romulan faction, many storyline and enemies...) because they need something else to make money.
I would also love to remove the fleet stores, and make the fleet a different things altogether, a place to meet people with slight bonuses associated (last time I check, like DDO was). And not a place you go to grind another way for purple toys.
I would remove the powercreep. I would have said, remove all the useless content, but my queued mission panel would be really empty.
Apart from the obvious contenders like lock boxes and the Lobi store, that's difficult.
Removing the restriction on owning the JHAS to get the hangar pets for the JHDC would be nice, but not really in keeping with the spirit of the thread.
I'd actually go with removing Kerrat, and replacing it with a PVP zone that uses the tech developed for territory control in the two battle zones. As it stands Kerrat is just a place for ganking.
Honestly, I'd remove most of the special effects caused by ability use. My ship should not be turning odd colours, and there should never be so many flashes and sparkles and glows that I can't see what's going on around me (all too common in PvP or fleet actions).
I'd remove surplus weapon spam too; by merging all weapons of the same type into a single effect per facing.
Combat in STO is so flashy it's downright distracting.
I would have liked it if they had given a good reason on why these are playable. I wouldn't have any objection to them whatsoever.
But "we stripped them out and made them work" was just a bit lazy imo, they could have done something cool to do with how these vessels are controlled (the whole psychic pilot thing) but they didn't bother
Also, that guy who constantly interrupts you to tell you he's closing shop. I'd love a season devoted to blowing him up
Aux to battery. (Anyone relying on this is LOL in my opinion. If you require that much help, you should play something else.)
Romulan singularity powers. (You're already imba enough, you dont need those. Seriously.)
Cruisers. ("yay, you can't kill me and I can't kill you. Let's waste time." Don't understand why people fly these in PVP.)
Reputation passive cap. ("Well let you drive your car, but you can only use two tires and not all four. Oh you worked very hard for those tires? Too bad. 2 tires is the limit, deal with it." Pretty much.) :rolleyes:
Edit: Cross Faction consoles. (thanks for TRIBBLE KDF over)
The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
I'd probably also get rid of slipstream, transwarp and subspace folding. Get everyone back to less effects laden flying where they need to go. It cheapens the experience.
I'd remove all locked boxes, locked box non factional ships and same for the lobi store.
I'd removed all the awful content that is delta quadrant based. namely the voth. the battle zone is a complete joke. you battle the undine and then right at the end you take on the voth whom 30 years before hand was far superior than the federation suddenly turns into the alpha quadrant punch bags. they could have done so much more with the undine with out making it look rather pathetic in the process by involving the voth.
Flight decks from the vesta classes. Seriously, ship doesn't need them.
Avenger. Sorry going cookie cutter and the KDF needed a better battlecruiser than the Feds did. And yes I have an avenger. just give back the 2500 zen and let us get something else.
Battle cloaks from the romulans. They can have standard cloaks, but considering they get singularity powers, yeah battle cloaking ADIOS.
remove the need for Dilithium in the creation of items through crafting. I mean really 1k dil per the expensive materials. Jesus trying to create an Ageis set is more expensive than half of the damn rep stuff.
Lobi store. Just a money sucking vacume, that or allow the stuff to be ACCOUNT bound, not character.
Bout all i got.

Undine ships.
They aren't supposed to be playable.
Undine ships, Tholian ships, Temporal Ships, every ship that should not be playable or belongs to the bad guys.
Also, the scimitar, hate that ship. Too big (even bigger than it should be), always blocking everything in space and too much power creeped. As people said it was the beginning of all problems, so, lets get rid of it.
And this is a joke, dont take it seriously guys (as you always do)-> i will love to see removed all the bugs of the game :P, because people keep asking for things that are not going to improve or make the game better. The only thing that will improve the game and make it better is if crytic start worrying about fixing it. THAT is the only thing important, even if people dont give a fuxxx. So, honestly i dont care about anything else. Until the game has some of the most imporant fails fixed, its really not important what ships we want to be removed or what things we want to be added. It is non sense to think on it.
-Romulans (and everything that came with them, so all of LoR)
-PVP
-All playable non faction ships
-Reputation system
-Fleet holdings system
-The DPS centric combat
-Sector space
-The instanced nature of the game
........
I actually have a whole lot more but...
Sitting here typing this all out made me realize that I'd just throw out STO as a whole and start over from scratch rather than try to remove pieces of it. /shrug
1 - New Reputation System and Lock Boxes (All removed)
2 - Undine playable ships (All removed)
3 - Dyson federation ships (All removed)
NOTE: Number 3 revamped to a more Federation looking ships.

Gotta admit, it would take care of a lot of complaining around here!
More seriously, I dunno. Alien ships in general?
Sector space walls, remove them and make sector space bigger, space feels small in this game
ahahahhahah no.
I would also love to remove the fleet stores, and make the fleet a different things altogether, a place to meet people with slight bonuses associated (last time I check, like DDO was). And not a place you go to grind another way for purple toys.

This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
-Rep passives cap.

as a consequence I'd consider removing geko
