You want more episodes in a season or not that's the question...

    More episodes would be nice.

    While the Delta Rising expansion did have it's fair share of problems, I liked that it had a lot of missions in the Delta Quadrant story arc. While some did not like the patrol missions, I thought it was a decent break from the typical story mission. Maybe if one of the patrol missions was cut it would have tightened up the story a bit. One of the major complaints about DR was the fact that players had to grind XP in between story missions because of the level gap between some of the missions back then, but that no longer applies.

    At a minimum, I think a story arc should have a least 8 story missions similar to the Iconian War. Future Proof felt too short with only 6 story missions in it.

    A few quality episodes is better than a constant stream of rush-jobs.

    It is sad that cryptic wasted so much time and effort on the small PVP community and foisted the Co-op PVP/PVE and nerfs on us instead of more episodes.

    I really don't care about arbitrary numbers like episodes per season. As we saw this last time, a season can be as little as 12 weeks long, so 2 episodes during that is actually decent, given the track record for this game.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    I said yes and I do believe there should be more missions but don't make theme like the Federation view all the time take into account the difference in view to the character used. Klingon's should be conquering the new found stuff and or taking what they want. Federation should use more of a diplomatic approach yes fighting is ok but more Federation diplomacy for the federation. Romulans depending on choice should approach more neutral to the missions and such but still that who are what are there intentions towards us approach.

    Never going to happen unfortunately...it's one size fits all or bust.

    .....and they should be longer, and a bit more in-depth. Mirrors and Smoke was way too short!

    Season 12 was just so much a joke and I've yet to see a published reason why they went to season 13 so quickly.

    I would guess that they did it to get the seasons/expansions back on track for April/May and October/November, and to make up for last year, where development of Agents of Yesterday and the console ports meant that we only got 1 expansion and no seasons.

    I would really like to see more quality stuff instead of rushed and recurring bugs all the time..It would be nice!! But that being said..More quality and more trek like story driven episodes (Unlike Delta grind where I got really annoyed doing the first time cause it became so repetative..) in seasons is good instead of just 1 or 2 per season..

    I'd like to see some of the earlier episodes revamped such as the nimbus III wasteland arc, episodes like yesterday's war and future proof could be fleshed out more and battlezone areas revamped and debugged like Nukara

    (spoilers ahead)
    Sad to say it, but the latest episode to me was a total disappointment. Usually the stories are really awesome in STO, as with ST itself. The Kentari should not be wearing Romulan senate robes and republican rank attire.

    Also, it makes no sense for their leader to lend their trust to us so quickly, and neither should we have to prove to them anything by defending them. It was enough that they opened fire on sight and ignored our hails that the burden to prove their trust in mutual peace is now on them, not us. Also, we seem to have no trouble killing their dissenting kind on the ground, yet in space we only shoot to disable. Why not stun them on the ground as well, or destroy them in space, to be consistent.

    Fewer episodes is better than fillers.

    I'd rather have good missions that more missions. But both would be nice. :P

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
