If you could vote which stories has to be told after the Iconians....

Return of the Dominion :

Where we start to explore the Gamma Quadrant and much more...
When again in war with the dominions we find some secrets in the Gamma Quadrant.
Which the dominion really don't like us to find...

Finding the 37's :

Where we go even further back where Janeway already have been.
Further into the Delta Quadrant to help those in need
Explore what voyager hasn't had explored.

Andromeda Galaxy :

Where we find new species and new stories....

So what would you vote ? Gamma Quadrant with an playable Cardassian or Delta Quadrant where the 37's mysteriously disappeared and there city's are in ruins...
Or the andromeda system where cryptic has his free hand of writing new stories and such ?

What would you choose ?

    An easy choice for me: the Gamma Quadrant with playable Cardassians, if possible. :)

    The problem with the Gamma Quadrant, is that it wasn't really explored in DS9, so Cryptic would have to invent whole new races and planets in order to expand the map. People don't like that because it falls completely outside canon.

    Having said that, I do think the DS9 revamp will be coming, even if they don't do a full Gamma Quadrant expansion. A Tosk battle zone could be fun though.


    Logically, having done Voyager, the next series to be introduced should be Enterprise. We could get involved with the temporal cold war after the iconians, because we know they can't time travel

    the dominion is far more likely to happen then a rehash of the second choice, and there is still much to do at home before considering to leave the known galaxy with the third choice.

    one thing you should never do with cryptic, never apply logic to their operation.

    To me the Iconians are the be all end all of bad guys in STO. If they show up then to me it should be the end of life for Star Trek Online as the last hurra since it required all the races in the Galaxy to ban together and beat them the last time.

    It is likely that something will happen with the Dominion as they plan sitting out any fight against the iconians.

    I'd love to go to the Star Trek Online mirror universe myself and see what the death of O'Brien did.

    I don't think this is the end of the Iconian story.

    Season 10 will mearly be about halting their advance. I can see season 10 having the players on the defensive the entire time, holding back the tide.

    We eventually push them back, but by no means are they wiped out. Season 11 could be the next plan by the Iconians or any other number of things. I see no reason to believe that Season 10 will see the end of the Iconians.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Many assume that we are headed towards a climactic final showdown with the Iconians in STO.

    I, however, do not make such an assumption.

    I refer everyone to Sun Tzu's Art of War. One of the most basic principles in that work is that a military leader should only engage the enemy when he is sure of victory.

    The Iconians could come to the conclusion that they cannot currently win their desired victory and thus decide to retreat back into hiding so that they may wait for the right time to strike, perhaps hundreds of years from now. So the Iconians could simply retreat to bide their time, thereby putting the Iconian war on the backburner indefinitely.

    Those waiting for a climactic final showdown could be in for a long wait.

    I do have a question about this:

    Iconian War

    ¿What is this?

    I came across that while doing an internet search for «iconian war».

    EDIT: I just realized that it is a fan-created wiki site that is more wishful thinking than anything.

    I would think a more accurate statement would be that there are some Trek fans who will never accept anything added to Trek verse which was not written by someone "officially" working for CBS or Paramount on a Trek project - and even then they will blow-off what they do not like.

    In the grand scheme of things every name is unrecognizable until it is added. No one heard of the Binars until they were added to Trek, or the Sheliak, or Tamarans, or Son'a, etc. They are accepted by "fans" only because they were in a CBS/Paramount product. If Cryptic had made the Sheliak you would probably be telling us about how they are completely incompatible with canon. There are far too many purist who only want what they believe Trek is, IMO. Anything which deviates even slightly from their belief is just wrong, no matter what.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    No, not again the dominion, we already had them in the Bajoran/cardassian series.
    I don't think a new attack from the would be much different than the missions we already have.

    Don't care about that story in the slightest, since Voyager was/is the series im the least interested in.

    This is the most likely imo.
    Although the only thing we will to there is to shoot everything that moves.

    Hahaha yeah great I hope if I be honest they repair the darn bugs first.
    Before continue on with the storyline because lately the more the game move forwards the tale is breaking of...

    That said it was an example so if you have something on your mind share it with us....

    I'd like to see the Dominion return, but not as an overt villain. I'd love to explore the Gamma Quadrant - and really, it's the only quadrant 'left' that hasn't been explored at all - but instead of 'lol let's go to war' with the Dominion, I'd rather see a cold war develop where exploration in the GQ is undertaken in part to explore but also in part to ascertain the Dominion's intentions.

    A LOT of interesting stories could be told there, and no need to go Warhammer The Final Frontier on it either. Exploration AND diplomacy AND intrigue AND the occasional spot of pewpew.

    Totally down for the 37s! I guess cause I like Voyager a lot. I know they left Amelia Earhart on the planet, but man, it's Amelia Earhart! It'd be so cool if she became a pilot or something. Or perhaps some important facet of Trek lore in STO.

    Gamma Gamma Gamma all the way. Doesn't have to be a big thing but a redone Cardi arc with some missions in GQ, DS9 voice talent and a more canon DS9 would really round things off for me in representing the different series.

    Andromeda. If there's an exploration revamp, that's where it's gonna be. We'll find a way back there, through gateways or spheres, some super-wormhole or whatever.

    We don't need another Dominion war, but they should have more of a presence in the game in the future. I only see the 37's as a potential featured episode, nothing more than that.

    My vote would go to the Andromeda Galaxy, provided that it would be developed as the intended replacement for the Exploration Clusters that were removed, and it were developed to be an endless expanse of millions of planets, similar to a certain space game which will remain nameless.

    I have no interest in seeing the Dominion...again.

    Nor do I have any interest in the 37's, as I felt the Voyager episode covered that story well enough.

    The obvious thing would have either had the Dominon continue without the Founders, OR for the Gamma Quadrant to have been where the Iconians were hiding!

    And the thing about Andromeda...is it going to be Alpha, Beta and Gamma-sized and not ridiculously small like the Delta Quadrant? I still think it's ridiculous that the Kazon have travelled as far at the Talaxian colony, 40,000 light years away!

    Here's my one single issue with using Iconian gateways to explore the Andromeda Galaxy.

    We're not playing Stargate Online.

    That's just me, though. I could see something like that happening, unless Cryptic's grand finale for the arc is to shut down the whole Gateway network. Which is also a strong possibility.

    i dont see the andromeda galaxy being feasable at all. there is too much chaos back home to sort out, and if cryptic open up the andromeda galaxy and we cause trouble out there.. there is no way the triple alliance has the ability to deal with such problems realistically for storyline sake.

    If they shut all the gateways down, we would loose the Delta Quadrant. So I don't think that is going to happen.

    Don't really need to go to Andromeda to get back to exploring. Voyager was only passing through the Delta Quadrant; they barely scratched the surface. There's probably still plenty to see (not even counting the stuff Voyager found that we haven't revisited yet).

    But yeah, my vote would be for an exploration themed season. I never really forgive Cryptic for taking the clusters away to be honest.
