    That's kind of harsh. Can you really say this game is worse than Voyager, or Enterprise, or Nemesis, or Insurrection, or the JJ films, or Spock's Brain? Yes, I'd love a TMP-era setting or a TOS-era setting, but the post-DS9 / Voyager setting makes sense as the continuation of the Prime Universe and where it's inconsistent often comes from things that are meant to cater to fans like us who love other eras. These developers have bent over backwards to provide something for fans of ALL iterations of Star Trek, and yeah sometimes the edges don't weld together too smoothly, but it's clear to anyone they actually care about what they're doing as fans of Star Trek and not just punchclock television writer's room hacks --something that has often not been the case for actual screen productions.

    Neither of us would have done things the same way all the time, but other fans would surely have their issues with our vision because it would contrast with their own. Pleasing a crowd like Star Trek fans is one hell of a tightrope to walk, getting us all on the same page on anything is like herding cats. As much as I would love to run the franchise or even a single iteration of it like this one, I don't envy the devs the task of dealing with what sometimes can very much seem like the "Unpleasable Fanbase" trope come to life.​​

    My ultimate wish list item would be to have other lesser-tier ships follow me into combat, captained by my extra Boffs to give them specific abilities. Have a T1 Miranda following me into battle with a Science boff in the chair spamming Science Team, a T2 Cruiser with an Engineer using Engi Team 1 and Aux to Structural 1, and a T3 Heavy Escort with Tac Team 1, Torp Spread 2 and FaW 3.

    I didn't say I disliked the game's setting. I said I disliked Gecko's vision of Trek. As in, what he thinks is the core of the Trek IP. I dont see Klingons as 'monster play' or Romulans as two-dimensional Snidley Whiplash wanna-bes. And I sure as hell don't think the UFP is the be all and end all of how the universe should be.

    You act like that wasn't how ToS and early TNG was at all or something. With rampant Federation colonialism, and treating every race as being "lesser" to the impeccable moral and ethical superiority of the Federation

    Hell, even ENT was a lot like that. ENT even said the Klingons would join the Federation at some point in the future.

    That's because those stories are told from a UFP only perspective... ofc they'll tell the tale from their side and it will spew their propaganda.... A MMORPG like STO isn't beholden to only telling a story from a UFP perspective... Sadly Cryptic has done exactly that

    Except they have done literally nothing of the sort.

    Hell, the entire backstory of STO paints the Klingons are in the right, and the Fed being blind idiots.

    And it was the Romulans of all people who managed to bring everyone together.

    STO has treated both the Roms and the Klinks far better then most instances in the shows themselves did.
    Them some lovely rose colored blinders and selective memories you have there... enjoy your delusions.

    Nice refutation using evidence there.
    -Klingons are leading the war with the Tzenkethi.
    -Klingons led the war with the Iconians, and it was a Klingon who was the voice of reason in the end.
    -Klingons were RIGHT about the Undine infiltration from the get go.
    -Klingons have had their homeworld majorly attacked like 3 times in the past 2 years, and came out on top every time.

    -Romulans got the Feds and Klinks to settle down long enough to form the Dyson Joint Command, which led to the formation of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance.
    -Romulans are the main hosts of the founding meetings of the Galactic Union.
    -Romulans took out one of the Iconian's major servitor races, the Elachi, effectively all by themselves.
    -Romulans suffered the brunt of the Iconian invasion, and still came out on top.
    -Romulans, despite being the weakest of the three powers, still did the most overall damage to the RSE and Tal Shiar, with the Feds and Klingons just finishing them off afterwards.

    Yep, STO has totally treated them bad, and as nothing more then "monster play" and "Snidley Whiplash wanna-bes"

    1) Splitting of all ships into frames (ie visuals) and bridge modules (all the stats), with restrictions like "may only equip Tier X bridge modules" if necessary.

    2) T6 Miranda (I think this is the last ship I'm interested in acquiring ...)

    3) phase pistols and ENT era MACO weapons

    4) ENT era Intrepid (guess I lied in number two, oops)

    5) much more accurate sounds for the pulse phasers (or the ability for someone in the community to mod in a replacement)

    6) NX bridge ... that's kinda part of the 900 lobi price of lobi ships ... if you can do it for the Vengeance, why not the NX!?

    A device that cost 1 billion EC from a vendor and caused nearby player characters to turn and salute you unless they also had one.

    Would fix ec inflation overnight.

    ego stroking, much?

    When I saw this my first thought was "how many keys would I have to sell ..." I fear for my wallet if Cryptic ever does that

    Make all faction based ships in the Z store. Non faction ships all get tossed in lock boxes.

    If Cryptic could add one thing to the game what would be your most desired? Feel free to post a top 5 if you like, but what's the 1 thing you really wish the most that they'd add to the game?

    For me my #1 would be a playable end-game level refit Constitution class like the Enterprise-A. That has always been my favorite ship and I'd really like to be able to have one that was actually playable for any of the end-game content.

    It's already in-game. Unless you mean the Kelvin refit from the end of the last film?

    Because it's marketed as a T6 TOS Connie, I have a feeling many players don't realize that it can use all the other Connie-style parts. I'll go ahead and say I'd love a C-Store variant with an updated TMP model and no access to the TOS parts, but that's fairly unlikely I believe.

    Some of my wishes have come true. It's happening slowly but since AoY there has been an initiative to introduce retro ships into the game. Including Klingon and Romulan analogues in the mix has made this especially enjoyable even if the delivery mechanism isn't my first choice. The flexibility of the coveted prize packs which give allow the winner to pick their faction ship of choice is an excellent implementation though. I'm still wishing for my TOS Gorn outfit as well.

    My, "Wish they would, but know better" wish remains an extensive Foundry overhaul. Make the tools more user friendly on the working end, open up the in game assets across the board and enjoy a sizeable increase in content within the game. Savvy users have already created some excellent content to enrich the play experience but opening the door a little wider would allow for more voices, more adventures across more eras of Trek. If the Foundry didn't feel so adversarial; Like I must fight with or trick it to perform interesting story effects I could see using a lot of time creating content for the game as an enjoyable STO activity.

    I think you're right. The TOS model gets all the hype so I bet a lot of folks don't know you can put any of the other skins on it.

    It's why after it debuted, some folks started pushing for a revamp/redo of the T2 cruiser skins.

    I'm all for making it more available and revamping the skin. So those ideas I support.

    Just want to once again point out for those that don't know, that yeah, the T6 Temporal Light Cruiser can wear the TMP Era skin, or even the Exeter skin too.

    :)

    I barley got a shot in and avoided the afk penalty , the other 2 werent so lucky , and then the 2 asshats had the audacity to berate us that "we didnt do enough DPS and were patheitc" and "people like us shouldnt be allowed to run advanced or elite STFs " , when i said "hey you 2 killed everything before we could get a shot on target" the reply was "well you shouldve been faster" , i lost my temper at that point and showed them how many "colorfull" words i knew.

    Blocked them both and moved on, but running into people like that are who are such DPS snobs just irks me.

    I think I've had that happen once or twice and I've rolled ISA at least 150 to 200 times with a team mate that happened to be over 100,000. Interestingly, I've had more experiences of c rap players shouting at everyone which is even more hilarious since they have no idea of what they are doing. Usually they go straight for the gate and get destroyed immediately then shout at everyone for "wasting time" or something to that effect for attacking the transformers.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    I'd like to see every starting playable race have a proper home world so that you can at least visit them for a look around and make use of bank/exchange/mail/security officers.
    I mean this is a Star Trek game and it'd be nice to be able to actually see the planets we go to rather than just go into orbit and kill x enemies in some random non-story patrol.

    The game as it stands sometimes just feels like a bunch of fights spread over a fast-travel map rather than a decent attempt at presenting something that feels like a trek rpg.
    Let's have something a bit more immersive and "alive" feeling.

    1st: Proper homeworlds/social hubs for the KDF "minor races"
    - Nausicaan asteroid base with all the services one would expect from space Tortuga.
    - Orion Sin City to rival Risa (gambling, brothels, what have you)
    - the Gorn kings palace including Gorn marines training ground adventure zone (a map with lots of water in it)
    - Subsequent removal of random non-Klingon NPC's from Qonos

    2nd: rework of the earlier space sets. Additon of a proper warp core and for the weapon sets and addet choice between beam and pulse weapons. Some unique 360 beams wouldn't hurt either (plasma, disruptor, phaser). Oh, and include the Nausicaan set. Beam array + torp in one set is TRIBBLE, mkay ?

    3rd: proper Bridges for Gorn, Nausicaan and Orion ships, and at least 1 T6 choice for each species + something Ferasan and Lethean

    4th: playable Cardassians for Federation.

    5th: removal of all that past, future and loonyverse ships form this timeline ! (yea fat chance...)

    - ability to search the exchange by faction (so I don't have to sift through all of the fed stuff when I'm looking for things for my KDF or Rom characters)
    - More non-combat missions.
    - Tailor revamp, with uniform/armor restrictions removed and expanded hairstyles/aliengen pieces. Long hairstyles for Caitians. more face and head customization options for Ferengi and other long neglected races.
    - homeworlds for all of the playable races (for both faction) with player housing options (this will never happen of course. Too much artwork involved and too little payoff - even if they were to c-store the majority of it)
    - Customizable ship interior (several free basic sets, with additional options available in the C-store. Because that's the only way interiors will ever happen)
