Ok, I'm still leveling up my toons since my return to STO, and am just "coming to grips" with all the changes that have been done already, yet.... now there's going to be another new change? using our unused ships? like, again they are going to change things , and of course I can't stop them, as no one is able to, it seems they change things even with alot of players saying "DON'T DO IT!! " .... ahem....
Personally, I prefer things kept simple, and when it comes to my ships, if I want to fly one of my other ships sometimes, then I will, and I do at times, depending on my mood, now I don't know too much about the new changes they are going to make, yet from what have read from alot of comments here and such, it sounds like another new annoyance... sigh..... I wonder if the creators ever think about tv shows, which did good until the show changed things, such as changed the actors or theme of the show and it went down hill....
That would be a good lesson for sto to observe before they make the same mistake/s too often. I don't bother with the reputation system, except for the borg one and the rom one, i have no clue still how these specialization skills work , and i don't intend to find out.
At the "end of the day", all I want is to log into STO, fly my ship , do some missions, with good stories , and that's it. Fly the ship I want to fly, level my characters up the easy way , without having to do all this other stuff,
and just have fun. But it's not fun, if you have to do all these other things... So I don't bother with the new stuff, I just play the missions, and fly around.
What will be really stupid , is if they make it so you Have to fly your old ships for certain missions, that would be utterly TRIBBLE.
half arsed and nothing essentially new or game-progressin. indeed only slightly additions on a well known path and after a well-known pattern (in this case: hype on the "ur ships/admirality" thingie/focus on a least effort aspect, hype on the "exploration" aspect, bet on new uber-gear and stuff allover, ......., ............, ................................, ..........................................).
in germany we got a sayin': "was hänschen nicht lernt, lernt hans nimmermehr". (engl.:"what 'lil hans doesn't learn, grown up hans won't ever learn"; in this sense i really hope this will be my last post in here ever lol)
i feel sad for the great work of some teammembers while under such a management .
so, from my pov:
- ships and gear are not content, they're additions
- the quality of real content is defined over the quality of the games' mechanics and additions ("balance")
- content gets killed by bad mechanics, uber-additions and uneven payouts
disclaimer: this post is labelled as honest feedback. get the troll-flag elsewhere plz, thx! and, after all these years, someone may pay me the time it took to write this (again and again and....) :P.
Hmm just noticed this not doom or gloom ortherwise i wouldve staed gloom or doom in the right context of gloom or doom by saying gloom or doom but since i didnt say gloom or doom then its not gloom or doom understand?
Anyways what i was driving at is the fact when you deal with cryptic idk just makes you feel dirty for buying anything from them ,kinda like the feeling you get from buying a car from a shoddy used car salesman.
I personally would wish they would tell us what is going to be added to the market early on so i could either say i want to get it and save the cash or say i will pass.
congrats on getting to it, wrapin the story up, getting ready to go in a new story direction:)
congrats on more solo play content to come (the admiral system LOL, sounds like a bloated doff system from what I can gather)
congrats on the game running worse (lag, glitches, etc.. perhaps season 11 will fix all that, but many of us have been crossing our fingers for season after season after season that they will do it.. but it never happens LOL!!)
suppose a bunch of folks are excited about the new ships... the bulk of them being just rehashes of ships we already had in game just.. buying them again is all (gotta catch them all right?)
ah well, who knows
perhaps season 11 will be the best season ever
I hope for the sake of those that still log in daily
I think cryptic owes you all that much at this point, after all the years of glitches, lag, pay us ships, tired content, etc they owe those players that continue to play a great season
for those players that still continue to log in daily, you guys should really think about what you would like to see in season 11-
come up with what you think would be good improvements to the game, things that would make you happen, etc and voice them to cryptic
who knows right? perhaps some other folks will want the exact same thing as you do and speak up too, perhaps there will be enough folks that cryptic will take notice and implement it over season 11
cause really, at this point? this game is about you
those that open the wallet, those that still log in
I wish you all the best of luck in season 11;)
Sorry did you say something? I was distracted by your sig image.

Is Admiralty supposed to be a way for the fanboys to rationalize all the overpriced ships they've bought? Or just another pay-wall barrier to entry grind for newer players?
"Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed, Cryptic. The ability to pass off half-baked content as a new season is insignificant next to the power of angry customers who have no confidence left in you."
I Hope they don't do the Delta Grinding thing and make a TRIBBLE load of sector patrols. Please make story missions. No more sector patrol missions.
Patrol missions are fine, as long as they aren't part of the story arc. However, using patrols as filler for an already abysmal story is what we call, "LAZY".
Yeah... A mission about the Vaadwaur attacking the Zahl would of been cool.
Technically, they did make a patrol mission featuring this in "Better with Friends" and that darn planetary cannon (OK, it was actually a Benthan colony in the Zahl system, but that was quite close).
I can see the finale showdown with the Iconians being something like this. Dear Alliance we regret being jerks, we regret for coming your galaxy and we regret for blowing up your raggedy fleets.
Thanks, everybody, for reminding me why the only place I've used in the forums lately is Ten Forward. Good heavens, I haven't heard such a batch of self-entitled whining since my nine-year-old found out his Halo-playing time is being cut down!
If you really feel They Changed It, Now It Sucks, there's only one way to vote that counts, and it isn't in here. Me, I'm going to enjoy all the new stuff. It's about time I found a use for all those old hulks in my ship slots besides target practice!

Can't say I don't disagree with you, Jon, but a part of me is just thinking how it IS kind of a nyrdy/Treky tradition to argue/complain about Star Trek. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that final episode for the iconian war, was PERFECT!!!! and totally AWESOME!!!! Not one thing wrong with it. It was awesome, you guys and gals did a great job, not too much space battle, not too much gound battle, Great story line, just absolutely Perfect! And it is always great to have the voice acting of anyone whom was in the star trek tv shows. Keep it up, Team STO, I find myself looking forward to the new episodes more so than I would with a new tv show!!! Well done indeed.
I hope the admiralty system will be a way to do things like doffing is for dilithium with KDF. Right now if you have a lot of characters and ships on those characters its a nightmare to even think about masteries and specialization before even attemting to tackle specializations per character lol.
I guess that is sort of reason I originally quit because you had paywall with the level 60 gear, then 10 levels so per character I was looking/still am looking at around 300+ levels to deal with. Then tack on the said mastery/specializations on top of that I just had to smh and bow out of it not even getting to the reputations either it was just too much.
I didn't mind the final episode as well, all but a couple of things. The running back and forth over Iconia got old, especially after the second play through. Although the quick sum up isn't the best possible end, it could have been a lot worse. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I will just say, I think Sela and the whiny Klingon were a bit out of character for the mission.
ok i realise this forum is for holodeck but i need to ask a quick question about tribble and here it is Does anyone know if we will get to test the new admiralty system as on tribble i have decked out all my old ships with MK14 Gold Fleet gear on 1 toon so i really wanna test them out to see how they hold up on those missions and also when will we get access to the new space Battle Zone ?

Found this on a reddit post. Seems appropriate.
Sector Patrols are good for one thing, at least...
I'm using several now to boost up the Starship Mastery of new ships.
Patrol missions are fine, as long as they aren't part of the story arc. However, using patrols as filler for an already abysmal story is what we call, "LAZY".

Edit - Oops. I just realized the double negative made me disagree with you, Jon. As the Great Wonka once said, "Strike that. Reverse it."
I guess that is sort of reason I originally quit because you had paywall with the level 60 gear, then 10 levels so per character I was looking/still am looking at around 300+ levels to deal with. Then tack on the said mastery/specializations on top of that I just had to smh and bow out of it not even getting to the reputations either it was just too much.
