Sector space, the final frontier...................
The walls are finally coming down. The thousands of rage threads on the forums where not in vain, the devs have finally listened and are taking care of the number 1 player concern: artificial gates in space. And most likely this will only come at a minor and hardly noticeable lag increase comparable to the anniversary event. Furthermore, to make sure everything goes smooth, the same competent team that launched DR will be put up to the task and will deliver the best expansion yet. Also there's no need to be worried about exploiters as the QA team will be put to the sole task of monitoring the metrics. They will also be in charge of the doff system transition to accommodate the new maps. The best of the best to make sure it all goes smooth as usual.

Because as has been said by many of the stars of the shows, Star Trek fans are some of the worst there are.
Actually my playtime's been cut by roughly 95% so I have no bad conscience about complaining yet still playing the game despite it
I'd believe it too... Look, I understand STO definitely has it's problems, and Cryptic have definitely dropped the ball on many things, but I just don't understand, irrespective of it being Star Trek, why keep playing if the game infuriates people so much?
Right... I see... o.O
Don't for get at that it is going to be the best season yet and the players will love it.
I'm not opposed to trying/adding new ideas, but implementation & product realization are key performance metrics in any business. Sadly, Cryptic has failed often enough to deliver the hyped goods to give pause to all but the most devoted sycophants.

Welcome to StarBug Online - to boldly Bug where no bug has been before!
STO player since November 2013
Ah, so you're just another smug cretin with a superiority complex. Cool. Next thread please.
Erm ... , what the players asked for was ONE MAP to rule them all .
If you read the announcement , it read as:
The quadrant are relatively small by themselves , and I am sceptical of this (half) change .
There are also some unique issues do to where we are as of now .
Gamma Orionis is swarming with Borg , but that is as of now not in the delta quadrant .
... I'll keep the champagne on ice until I see what they have in mind ...
Anyways, I'm curious to see how this is going to go. Opening up the vastness of space for a game like Star Trek can't be a bad thing. Depends on how they handle it. Also interested to see how Doff Assignments will work...

Gamma Orionis isn't in the Delta Quadrant full stop. It's a sector block that is supposed to be far 'south' of the Sirius block. It's where Kirk and Khan fought in the movies.
Good question. I guess some people's day just isn't complete without complaining and nagging about something. DR and the anniversary event have been complained about back and forth so this new announcement comes at precisely the right time.
Tune in next week to find out!
I will wager any developer apologist a billion dollars right now, that we are looking at a doff nerf with dil sink and timegates
I mean the Ferengi space is meant to be left of Sirius sector? So how can they join everything into one massive sector without filling in the "voids" that they've not mapped yet.
Or will they possibly be adding these missing sectors? Ferengi homeworld would be cool.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Only doff, tailor and sector space are left un-nerfed waiting for timegates.
Going to have to research a route before you can fly to ds9, it's going to cost 12,000 dil and have a 20 hour timegate.
All travel via story transwarp nerfed. Doffing nerfed. And the comes the problems they didn't have time to, or rather gave no priority.
Missing crafting modifiers, top abilities missing from boff dil sink/timegate
I don't know, I guess you could do a dil sink and timegate for the exchange too?
So that's basically 2015 right there, doff, space travel, tailor and exchange nerf, dil sink and timegates?
Then every 3 months a new set of notepad text passives specialization points with no animations that got you griding 20 patrols a day to keep up
You forgot to say, they still haven't called.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
It was not feasible to make a single map. As it stands, each quadrant map will take up the majority of usable space on a map. This is limited by floating point math, and TRIBBLE goin funky when you get too far from 0,0,0.
As it is being made today, anything that is contiguous space, is in a contiguous map, save for the split between Alpha and Beta quadrants.
Mostly accurate. Though Kirk/Kahn fought in the Mutara Nebula (and Khan was stranded on Ceti Alpha V), which is actually a few sectors east of the Gamma Orionis region.
Ferengi Space is actually left (west) of the Teneebia Sector. However, we're not joining it all into a single map. The Alpha Quadrant will be one map, and the Beta another. Some sectors have been added, to square out the maps, but we're not significantly expanding the quadrant maps beyond that.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
In the end theyll just nerf Doffing. Before many maps with different Doffmission in each sectorblock, now 3 sectorblocks. And dont believe they will be able to relocate them all.... nah, thats wrong on my part here: Dont believe theyll bother relocating them. Just another source of Dil and XP gone means more grind and better metrics.
It will be bugged and will stay bugged for weeks. And I am optimistic here, saying that it will eventually get fixed.
There are a lot of systems currently in the wrong places in game.
Is the Mutara sector in that block not (former) home to the Mutara nebula as well? I always just assumed one was within the other.

Well, just off the top of my head... the Hromi Star Cluster is located in the Xarantine Sector.

I was actually thinking the Hromi Sector next to it.
I'll pipe in and answer this....
Firstly it totally remains to be seen if this is a positive change...it's not like lag hasn't plagued this game since day one.
Secondly, speaking for myself and likely others, there isn't many other options if you are as picky as I am. I don't want to play with frolicking elves in the forest, I want to play Science Fiction. I wan't to play an MMO. Those two concepts alone make your options countable on your fingers.
Which also means players like me are very passionate about their experience and get VERY upset when it is tossed around like a cat toy.
