    They need to get rid of ship tiers completely, and focus on Captain specializations and skills to enhance the ship's capabilities.

    The current business model of "raising the price $10 per tier" just isn't sustainable.

    They need to rename Captain Specializations to Admiral Specializations. I was listening to Tribbles in Ecstasy the other day and heard both cryptic employees using the term "captains" to refer to the players and it reminded me that we're all not captains, we're admirals, and Cryptic never really addresses their hardline stance on the rank naming conventions, but then takes the more general tag of "everyone's a captain" ... and really that's just too much of trying to have it both ways.

    We're admirals and there's no real way to helps us feel like we're still captains in-game? Then rename it to be admiral specialization and be done with it!

    ;)
    My toons are captains. They command individual vessels, after all, not task forces, fleets, or desks back at HQ. And with one exception, they wear Captain's pips (or stripes, in the case of my AoY toons who still wear the old 23c uniforms).

    It's not my fault that the beings they run into across the galaxy can't read Starfleet rank insignia, and keep calling them "Admiral".​​

    I mostly do the same thing. Well except for my AoY character, who is created to be a take on Admiral Komack (from my forum avatar). He's an admiral.

    I just really would like to have an open discussion with someone like Mr. Ricossa as to why we can put the captain's pips up, make our title captain, have the devs refer to us as captains, have it be captain abilities, and captain specializations ... and still can't make that one last final tinsy step into having the game refer to us as Captain instead of Admiral. What with Console development now being a pretty high priority, now might be the perfect time to try and get that change championed.

    And of course now that I have a character that I'm FINALLY comfortable having be referred to as Admiral, and it's even less of a nit pick for me ... now would be the time that actually got some sort of progress or update.

    Because that's how life goes.

    ;)

    Lol...the OP replied to his own thread. Thats like giving a thumbs up to your own facebook post, weird and sad.

    So I don't get to cast my own vote in the poll?

    A troll poll is a troll poll. Probably because the OP is miffed they didn't get an Iconic 23c T6 and now wants the game to hurry up and obsolete T6s.

    T6 happened because Cryptic had pushed the parameters of T5 as far as they would go; specialisations were introduced as an unbounded "extra dimension" of diversity and were categorically designed to give the impression of unlimited progression (I[m paraphrasing, but the latter was roughly what the Dev Blog said).

    Plus they've already pushed character ranks to the limits of Trek's military structures (or beyond, in the case of KDF) which does not suggest an intention to push beyond again. Unless they're going to totally redo character ranks and bust L60s down to Captain, which would actually be very welcome IMO.

    Wasn't interested in getting one...in fact, I sold an Intel Dread for the EC to upgrade gear on my Arbiter...and I also have a gold Ferengi Nagus. People were complaining about all the polls for the next T6 ships and figured it would be a nice change to look past that...as the time will come when the cap is raise to 70 and T7 is in the works. Even with the money I've spent on T6s, I will eventually like to keep climbing higher and I'm sure I'm not the only one. ;)

    The votes are beginning to pile up for the NO class (New Orleans class ship)! And I'm strongly considering to change my vote to the NO as well.

    None of the above. Now would be a better time to settle down and focus on balancing and fixing everything. Instead of worrying about what the next ship is.

    But, no new ships, means the Federation players constantly crying over nothing new. So I suppose they'll release something to at least shut them up. Perhaps, they may even get around to changing their diapers to.

    Now coming back to a the reality of it. While this would be the best time for Cryptic to settle in and fix the game. There are plenty of bugs and balancing issues that they could address during this time. But, as it is Cryptic, I'm sure they're thinking about they're next Season. "What thin excuse can we give our players to go kill stuff?" Which isn't that hard. You don't even need a story for this. Just point the players at something with a quest titled "Kill it." and that's what they'll go do.

    How about: Create first descent content where a T7 ship might be useful.

    BWHAHAHAHA...come on let's be reasonable...this is cryptic we are talking about here.

    And you are right. If you want decent or better content. You need to play the foundry missions. Even with the limited resources and clunky, pain in the neck foundry setup. They do a far better job at creating content than Cryptic does.

    yep totally agree.

    after all this time i still cant figure out what the fuss is all about when it comes to ships,they are basically glorified mounts and as far as i know SHIPS ISNT CONTENT.

    i dread the moment i get a new event ship,i said event ship because for the past year and half i only login for that,special events i complete and then im out until the next event.

    you get a ship,spend half a day to get it just the way you want and then what? yep you guessed it,back to the running the same ol' content you did with your previous ship,so again just in case someone missed it SHIPS ISNT CONTENT.

    but to be honest we cant blame cryptic,its the players fault for buying into all this ship fanboyism (hangover so not even sure that word exists hehe),players keep on pumping money into the ships so yeah cryptic wants you to believe its content...the new missions we get are a joke,you're done in 45 minutes TOPS and then wam bam thank you maam you have to wait until the next one.

    cryptic already got my money when i bought the game and when i subbed for the first year,after that they aint seeing a penny out of me...kinda sad that some players are that stupid,they keep on asking for more ships instead of more content.

    Personally, I am really looking forward to T7 ships...

    Of cause, there are still a lot of ships that could be made into T6, but let's be honest... There were plenty of ships that could have been T5 too, so that point is pretty much invalid, since adding more features to ships and calling them T7 would not only allow for more diversity, but also a renewed income source for Cryptic.

    I vote yes for any T7 ship at this point... The sooner the better.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    No Tier 7 ships.

    Over the years, I have stopped playing many games because of power creep. Some say power creep is part of every game. I agree it is common, but I have seen power creep kill many games. So much so that I believe that power creep kills the vast majority of games that could've lasted a lot longer. I don't ever want to see a single tier 7 ship in this game...unless every ship I currently own gets boosted a full tier automatically and for free. Currently, I am loving this game. But, I agree that there are better ways to improve it without adding new tiers.

    I agree for the most part.

    While I know that 'power creep' is part of any MMO, I have decided that there are two things that for me, will signal the end of STO. Those things are playable Borg Ships and T7 ships.

    I take both as signs that the game is on it's last legs and it's time to get out. Those are the two things I think they're most likely to do for final 'cash grabs' before the servers shut down. The entire DR transition to T6 ships was awful, the last thing I want to do is go through that again.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    t6.5 or armada skips are coming soon anyway. better than fleet ones with new skins after you build armada base and buy armada modules. maybe i am joking or maybe not...
    t7... in 10 years or so.
