I'm keen on creating a Jem'Hadar tactical officer, but there's many, many things putting me off re-rolling and therefore, forking out a hundred quid for a dlc.
1) For the love of God, make starship traits account-wide. Who seriously has the time and money to be trying to make billions of EC to buy back the rare ships for traits like Supremacy etc etc? Yes we can play without them, but if you're going to roll a new char, who wants a crippled version compared to their main who has all the shinies? Or make the ships themselves reclaimable.
I'll take it on the chin with regards to personal space and ground traits, as the Infinity lockbox makes those a lot less painful, but enough with the grinding for alts please. We're not all space-rich, or got buckets of money to spend on Zen for lockbox gambling.
2) Make Lobi weapons and armor account-bound. Not a big issue, but would go a long way towards gearing up a new main.
3) Cosmetic request: please can we have a weapons appearance visual slot? With a cherry on top?
Thanks!

That's the beauty of STO. The expansions... are FREE. You'll be able to make a Jem'Hadar next month. And I'm pretty sure the Vanguard Jem'Hadar will be available as a seperate species unlock like the Remans are for the Romulans. You don't have to drop a dime if you don't want to for the BIG pack.
Yeah, but playing a Jem'Hadar that's not in a Dominion-inspired ship would be...meh. I quite fancy some of the new ships, just hoping for some incentive.
Ignoring the fanboi replies.
So basically, you're one of those people that cannot be bothered to make a character and play it without having some kind of reward attached, right?
When Romulans were still new and shiny, did you need an incentive to play them? If so, what was that incentive?
I am pretty sure that when the Delta Recruit event first came out, you had incentive to make a new character for that, even though it was running through the existing storyline. The same would apply for the TOS Federation character, since in addition to a stand alone storyline before the 25th century, they also were released with a recruiting event that only they could partake in, putting incentive into spending time on them. I'm sure you did this too, right?
Maybe a tiny minority. Rest of us don't have all day every day to grind dil, or buy Zen and play lockbox lottery, or sell keys to get the stuff they want.
I can see why my fleet has all but abandoned this game. Money sinks everywhere you look and a toxic community that sneer at everyone that's not a hardcore min-maxer.
Um... NOT a hardcore min/maxer here. I am a Hardcore CASUAL. And I've actually found a pretty chill way to grind out Zen without burning out.
I have a nice job, I buy ships with cash monies and my LTS stipend. I don't whine about prices because I understand that Cryptic needs to pay salaries and that René Auberjonois and Jeffrey Combs don't work for free. I guess understanding that businesses need to charge for things makes me a fanboi.
the incentive was the freaking Scimitar. It roflstomped everything. Everything. /Gary Oldman voice
Not even for the Admiralty card?

I hardly have any EC on STO, and i don't care. money is not a driving issue for me, it never was. one can have fun playing the game without billions of EC and one doesn't need to disrespect others because they took the time to do what you didn't, that is hardly their fault.
you don't need to buy the 100 quid version when a 15 quid version exists. put your toe in the water and find out how cold or hot it is first, it is better than cannonballing striaght in and find the water is almost at boiling point, too hot to swim in or bathe in.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Let's call a spade a spade and agree to disagree that being met with hostility and condescension breeds more of the same. Some of the replies posted where needlessly antagonistic straight off the bat. If someone's immediate response to someone else's post, that doesn't insult them personally in any way, is to verbally smack that poster in the teeth, they deserve all the "disrespect" they get.
With that said, people, keep things civil, please. Thank you.

Leaving any space station should give the option to go directly to sector space rather than the double loading screen and docking request sandwich.
Hangar pets need beam and cannon variants so that those next to useless cannon pets can be ditched for a similar looking one with slightly more use.
Reduce the volume of dil sinks and add some meaningful ones for latinum and ec, such as shifting the cosmetics out the dil store.
Reward boxes from infinity gamble boxes should give full options rather than tied into the faction and class that opened the initial box. Also make them account bound.
Lobi rewards from the gamble boxes should be a more fixed number. Lobi was originally a compensation for sucky rewards but now due to overpricing the ships they've become very much the premium one.
Stop padding gamble boxes with useless junk and if there's cosmetics in them don't lock those behind a chance of a chance.
Some QOL for consoles.
Let us disable the auto hail so *redacted* gray doesnt appear and lie about the state of the timeline.
Stop randomly zooming the minimap in and out on map transitions.
Actually finish the job on the autofiring abilities. Whats there is good but its half baked for an ongoing process due to new abilities and consoles added to the game.
Let us bind the abilities we want to ANY button rather than the rigid red blue yellow.
Make jumping a trigger modifier so we're not left bouncing up and down when all we want to do is use a console.
Remove player interact from the start button (or make it a push and hold) so we can check out menu without staring at our feet first.
Remove the double login screen. If someone starts up STO on the PS4 they're already on the account tied to STO so they should just go straight to the character select.
My Reman Engineer built one to spam CSV with SINGLE cannons/turrets and mixed that with chucking gravwells to clump enemies and torp spreads.
It actually worked ok after I tweaked it a few times.
My character Tsin'xing
Roll back to the old way of doing the weekly reward box where it reset on the thursday rather than 7 days after you did the mission last.
Hey... I once made a T5 Excelsior with every gas venting ability I could slap on her and she worked. The CURRENT incarnation of the Gaseous Anomaly is more fitting as it is a Malon Battlecruiser.
