And I know they make the game lots of money.
But I'm reachin saturation personally.
I mean I like ships and all, but It almost feels like a lack of imagination sometimes. There has to be something else that's cool they can sell too.
Why not sell more playable species unlocks too? (aligned with current factions of course).
Something unusual for a playable species, like Tholian, playable holograms or some entirely new kinda species for a change.
Am I the only one who thinks this way?

I’d love such a thing and prefer it over the release of new factions any day.

And even when they do they sometimes take a lazy route and come up with something that was best left in an art book or drawing board. I'm looking at you Fed/KDF hybrid in the past....
I actually LIKE that design, quite of few folks do.
Yep...everything is pretty much just a remake, now.
Orginality is shunned in mainstream media and hollywood, one reason, of many, that I avoid both.
Think the basics of that design can be argued about however the implementation just feels poor for a teaser trailer in the 21c.
They should have given the design specs to ThomastheCrypticCat and he would have taken care of the rest much better than what we got to see here.

And a species change token, Neverwinter has those.
They also got a thing where you can buy a fully leveled level 70 toon in Neverwinter....useful because leveling takes a LOOOOOONG time in Neverwinter. I got a toon there for a year and half, and she's level 68 only.
I'd love some more interiors and interactivity in them. I'd also like to see some stations get a facelift. like K-7 getting the exterior a improvement, and make the interior look TOS, if they can make past Drozana look good, why not K7?
Yeah im digging the discovery design it looks tight
Nope, you're definitely not alone. I also wouldn't mind if we saw some other new things in the C-store that isn't related to ships - I've also reached the point where I'm wondering why I'd need another ship. I had hoped that, with the addition of the Xindi, they'd release them as a playable species for example.
The problem is, though, that the species we currently have in the store do not seem to sell well. I think that, last time they produced one of those charts, Caitians for example were less than 1% of the species played? And that's the species with a truly unique ability that doesn't require a trait slot and is active 100% of the time.
If I recall, regular humans and maybe Vulcans were the only ones that were really popular.
Oh, I see quite a few Caitians and their KDF counterparts in game quite a lot.
You make a fair point here.
Still, given the incredible number of ships we have in STO by now couldn’t one argue that each of them is also only flow by around 1% of the games population?
Sure there is a difference between having a ship and actually flying it but we sort of have that with the concept of alts as well.
I could imagine that more races + the option to simply re-species a toon over a c-store token would be a huge success. Same counts for re-career.
I don’t regret much in my toon gang (10) however there a few things I do. If I’d get the option to correct it without starting from scratch I'd take it. Even for 5k zen per re-race or re-career.

Yes, I see Caitians too. They're still only less than 1% of the total game population though, although I do agree that this doesn't say a lot about overall activity - it could indeed be that there's simply a lot of humans and vulcans created that aren't really used - but in the end I doubt that could account for such a large difference between the most and least popular races.
Making a variety of ships available has much more to do with fulfilling the fantasies of Star Trek fans than races. People see a shape or a scene or a technology that appeals to them and that's what they want to fly, to command, to make an extension of themselves. The types of products you see made available in the zeni store is not the tail wagging the dog.

I can see the pitchforks and torches showing up if that would happen. o_O;
I wouldn't be very surprised if this turned out to be true. At the rate they've released new C-store ships the last few months, it is certainly possible.
Although at the same time it would be kinda silly; but then again, we have ships that are barely over 10 years old in-game that Starfleet felt needed refitting so who knows?
Nope. That is one hell of an interesting and awsome ship.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Specifically, I'd like a full auto assault phaser, some Ferengi outfits, specifically the fur one from season 1 TNG, some of the better ones (like quarks) from DS9, and some sort of camo like the 22nd century M.A.C.O. that doesn't cost 2 million dil.
I'd also be willing to pay for some different visuals on already in game assets. Maybe take a regular phaser, and put a TNG skin on it. Introduce Cardassian phaser rifles/pistols,... there are lots they can do that people will pay for that wouldn't take much.
Take a regular phaser rifle, put a TNG skin on it, and I'd buy 'em in droves. Wouldn't even need different stats.
