Delta Rising Wishlist

With the upcoming expansion, what are things you want to see added to the game, or changed?
My Delta Rising Wishlist
1. Dilithium Store: For the love of all that is holy, please bring this back, and like yesterday. It was hard enough to gear up an alt using the Exchange before Season 9.5, but the beauty of it was, if you couldn't find what you wanted, you could go and get it from the Dilithium Store for a bit of pink rock. Simple, easy, and most of all, convenient for those who only want to jump in an play. Removing the store is a move to force people into a crafting system that is horrendous, and with nobody crafting, it is harder than ever to get gear, with no fallback. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the Dilithium Store, prior to X2 if possible.
2. Breakdown mechanism for Crafting: Bad enough that each thing you make requires multiple green or better components, but when you burn through those green materials, only to get a white item? talk about insulting and much more, painful. Give us a mechanism to break down items into crafting materials, so it won't be quite so painful.
3. Commodore / Fleet Captain Vanity Title: Just like reaching Lieutenant gives you the option of using either "Lieutenant JG" or "Chief" as your title, Starfleet officers should have access to the canonical options of Commodore and Fleet Captain once they hit Rear Admiral, Lower Half.
4. Fleet Captain pips: See Note #3. Once above is addressed, add the 5 pip Captain Rank to the tailor for Fleet Captains.
5. Fly-by Missions: Make the little fly-by missions at the random planets repeatable once every 24 hours. These are the missions at planets like Tazi, Pellme, Beytan, etc. For the player that wants to simply putt around the galaxy, and maybe just go shoot some things. The Exploration Clusters used to provide this opportunity, now there isn't even that option. Consider this a "psuedo-replacement" for Exploration.
6. Expand the Sol System: Add all the planets into the Sol System, and make the map large enough that we can fly by these planets. Be sure to include Utopia Planitia!
7. Expand and Repair the Accolade System & Trophies: Expand the accolade system, and repair the triggers for the old special trophies (which don't seem to get awarded anymore) to go on the walls in our ships. Additionally, add in some of the ships that have been added to the game since launch, but for which no wall mount exists...like the Excelsior, Odyssey, Avenger, etc.
8. Cosmetic On/Off for weapon glowy stuff: Give us the ability to turn off the weird Tron-esque stuff that is on our personal weapons. It looks nothing like Starfleet, and in the end just looks terribad.
9. Captains Pips for Bridge Officers: Would like the ability to put Captain pips on Bridge Officers that are maxed out for Characters that are Admirals. This is canon, as generally speaking Flag Officer adjutants are Captain rank.
Really hoping some of these things make it into (or back into) the game. Would certainly make it more enjoyable.

Oh good one!
10a. Ability to put our holo-officer into custom uniform: Since Starfleet has after 4 years standardized on a uniform, it's time to "software-patch" the holo-officer!

Perhaps a designated in/out setup like ESD has, where the approach lane is where ships warp into the system, but there is a "parking zone" off station and at a distance for people beaming back to their ships from Spacedock?
A really good idea!
More traffic control, less traffic jam!!!

Give the Utopia Planitia map a few useful consoles (bank, exchange, mail, etc.) and just let it exist as another place for players to use year round.
Heck, if Delta Rising has all these new/updated ships then Utopia Planitia is going to be working overtime.
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
Agreed. They spent alot of time building a really awesome area, that we see once a year for like a week? What's that about? You'd think they would want to show off those really nice and great to visit locations as part of their "quality" initiative.

1. NO GRINDING!
2. NO NEW REPUTATION CATEGORIES!
3. FUN CONTENT! (Did I mention NO GRINDING?)
4. EXPLORATION RESTORED!
I mean why call it Star Trek if battle is the only focus? I and other players joined this game because it was Star Trek, not Battlefield Earth & Beyond. Could we please have some fun and challenges that aren't focused on death and destruction? A substantial part of the game should focus on non-combat activities, just like the shows on Star Trek. Mystery, humor, challenging puzzles, medical emergencies, etc., should be reflected in the game. Sadly, I haven't been thrilled by the blood and gore/to hell with the Prime Directive-type combat from season 7 to season 9.5 and I suspect I am not alone.
Lord, YES!
Amen!! And, believe it or else, I'd wish the same thing for the Klingon side as well. Being a Warrior is MUCH more than simply killing and destroying... fighting. How about a series of content and challenges that focus on everything it means to be a Warrior... especially the positives? Why the hell IS this game called "Star Trek Online", anyway? It wears Star Trek clothes... but you can dress a pig in a sailor suit... doesn't mean he can sail a ship.

I would like a Romulan carrier
Some new Romulan pets, preferably shuttles
and well I had another idea or two but my mind is sorta blank
No more insane power creep that leads to endgame missions being done in minutes
Better end game with more challenge
Some actual attention shown to PvP
If there are going to be cruisers and sci ships make actual uses for them a.k.a. actually use the trinity that is non existent right now.
Just make the game more of a challenge in general or at least make elite more challenging, only mmo I've played where instances center around rushing and finished in minutes and PvP all about 1 shotting someone.
No grinding? Dear god, casual players strike again
Know the difference
It could save your life...
I've been asking this for months; nada, so far. At the very least, by the goddess, fix the bug where they lose body-parts!
More options for Klingon uniforms.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

My biggest(plausible) hope for X2 is for BOFF skills to be independent from their rank. Yes, I know I can have functionally all commanders but have them wear different rank pips, but my OCD wouldn't like that.

This is the point, just like it is with the loot in this game while you play in team. Great, you have taken down a cube, but as reward you get a slap in the face with the nice greeting : "Thanks for your efforts, kiss your reward goodbye as it goes to another, you dumbass":mad:
Disagree with the Commodore and Fleet Captain title. Commodore was discontinued, and Fleet Captain is just that, a vanity title.

I would love to zip around in a little agile hit-and-run raider... on the FED side
designs could be based off the following...
http://www.jetclover.com/tri/ship.jpg
http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/13/12995/Maquis-Carrier_BCH.jpg (although not carrier size - more of a Defiant size, slightly smaller)
perhaps a larger version of the Delta Flyer (to accommodate 50-75 crew and systems
or a larger version of the Federation Scout ship from Insurrection to accommodate 50-75 crew and systems
http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/insurrection-3.jpg
... And another person who has no concept of the Federation's moral, ethical, or tactical doctrines. Wondered when that crowd would turn up.

pray tell, what moral/ethical/tactical concerns would you be talking about?
I don't see the dilemma. With the threat of the Borg/Undine/Voth/Iconians(possibly), and with the intro of the Kazon/Krenim and other Delta quadrant species, I think the Federation would be completely justified in having a better tactical advantage against any/all aggressors. I see no moral or ethical problems
Is it really that big a deal to give players a role-play mechanism (Commodore Vanity title) even if it was discontinued?
By all accounts, about 35% of the ships in game were discontinued long ago, yet, we still see them. Why? Because not everyone subscribes to the same definition of Star Trek. For some, TOS is the best, and for those who are portraying a TOS era character, a Commodore title is fitting and welcome. Just as those who prefer the TNG era would welcome the Fleet Captain title.
Is it really necessary to oppose something that is so minimal in it's impact to you, but would bring happiness to countless others, and affects gameplay in no way, shape or form?

Yes, which fits with my example in the OP.
When you hit Lieutenant, you also unlock "Lieutenant JG" and "Chief", both of which are lower rank titles than the rank you just hit. So unlocking "Commodore" and "Fleet Captain" upon hitting Rear Admiral Lower, would be no different, and gives players alternate canonical flavors, based on their favored era.
And they would certainly be better than the current "Rear Admiral Lower Half" title which is given to us, and which no Admiral was EVER referred to in any of the series or movies. :cool:

Oh I know, I was merely conversing based on what you posted.
It's all good in the hood! :P
