1 - I would like to see all the story acks they move to the available tab moved back to the man episodes tab. even if there not part of the main story ark they still put the effort into making the missions. and some have set's to collect. a lot of people dont even know about them.
2 - a wesley/traveler story ack. what are Wesleys abillities apart from freezing time.
3 - what did the new life form from ( TNG Emergence ) end up as.
4 - whit the transwarp and iconian gateways the norm now. open more of the early delta quadrant. did the ocampa find a way to fend off the kazon. did the Vidiians change there way of living after the phage, did the other races group up agaisnt them.
I too would like to see them restore a lot of the "available" tab arcs and missions to their places in the missions tab. Most of them do not make any sense as endgame-only missions the way the "one size fits none" requirements force them to be, the "available" tab is buggy itself since the devs did not cut the mission requirements correctly so a lot of them are very iffy trying to launch, and on top of that the tab was mainly a kludge because the skip function in the missions tab did not work for a long time and they wanted to make those missions optional. The skip is fixed though so there is no need anymore to set them off in a separate tab that is barely functional at all.

This suggestion would be another major universe-threatening arc like the Iconian war that would take a lot of work to do properly, but the seeing a colony in various stages idea people were talking about earlier could be done as a sort of "grand tour" temporal arc that goes through all the timelines and eras in an effort to stop the the local quantum timeline bundle from unravelling in a sort of All Good Things sort of story but using physical time/universe travel. It could have the same nexus/epicenter in all of them that could use variants of the same map in key scenes but done using the style assets the game already has for each show, and different operations they have to carry out both inside of it and outside in other maps.
They could be opposed by a group (even a split-time version of Noye if they wanted to) who are working against the characters because they (mistakenly) think they would have some sort of advantage in their part of a split chronoverse. They could even have roped in local lackeys which would provide a variety of opponents for the players (and the Tholians could be panicked and attacking everyone involved at random times, knowing there is some kind of correlation between the players, the villains, and the disaster they sense coming without understanding the nuances).
The arc could take advantage of the ability to tailor dialog to the various factions and (at least in some cases races) to customize their cover stories for the various times, like Romulans could pose as V'tosh ka'tur Vulcans and whatnot in the earlier times, and the unknown races (like Jem'Hadar before DS9) would be thought of as just another obscure race that most people don't know about.
Personally I would like another time travel arc, would be fun to interact with historic events like the Sundering, the Earth-Romulan war, pre-Hurq Qo'noS, the Augment war and Earth Voth, I also don't like the SiMuLaToNs Of HiStOrIcAl EvEnTs since that's worst than time travel, I'd rather be there in person.

I'd be more than happy with an Enterprise Augment story. When it was airing and for years after, I couldn't stand Enterprise. I think couldn't stand the JJ-Verse, but I actually prefer both to Discovery stories...sorry. I actually bet more of the Enterprise cast would return. It would be great to have Scott and if they really do a Mirror storyline, then Sato flying around in the Defiant.
I'm still sore that Reunification didn't include the Remans, but it would be great to explore them more. They're already a playable species, but their culture is an utter mystery.
Earth Voth...and a story about their journey across Quadrants. Lovely stuff!
Time travel though and TOS, TOS, TOS...that would be such a satisfying thing. And I would like it to be into the past. I loved the previous STO storylines with the Na'kuhl, the Wells', Daniels and things that felt very Star Trek...the Discovery take on the future though, is just too dark, dank and depressing.
I want joy, exploration, strange new worlds, INTERESTING episodes that aren't verbose or just about endless massacring, etc.
Voth unification story would be fantastic. Even if it'd only be 8 episodes long and take 2 years for all the episodes to come out.
If done right though a story of them accepting their birthright and returning to Earth could be a lovely story with relevant allegory to the divisions of today.
Plus it'd be a great vehicle for them to do a Fen Domar story, a far Beta Q species, pretty aggressive, a complete blank slate when it comes to design. Fen Domar fight Voth, look past differences and help Voth, big happy Earthling family. It writes itself.
Maybe something with Sir Patrick Stewart, He did pretty great as both Picard and Professor X.
I also have into the Spockverse but we can't really do this since Leonard Nimoy is dead however look how many versions of the same character we have, there's TOS Spock, TNG middle aged Spock, Old Spock, Mirror Spock, Giant Spock, Kelvin Spock and Disco Spock.
At some point they are going to revisit the AoY arcs. A TOS start still but bridging across a number of eras with "splash" episodes after a healthy exposition that defines a central premise and moves forward. They are always mining Trek for ideas so why not mash All Good Things with a series of era specific jumps in the lifetime of the same captain. Finish it with a final leap into the contemporary stream and a second chance a a life.
> @somtaawkhar said: > There is actually nothing in canon that states the Fen Domar were aggressive. All future Janeway states is that her favorite coffee mug broke in a fight with them, but its never explained how or why that fight started. Given how regularly Voyager trespassed in other specie's space, for all we know the fen Domar are normally peaceful, but attacked Voyager out of self defense.
You are technically correct and whilst that is the best kind of correct, some form of antagonistic relationship in an alternate timeline is definitely enough to go on in terms of a STO story.
Kelvans have been up to some form of shenanigans in the 24th century as Worf has had tussles with them.
Theres so many things they could do with the right amount of resources allocated to story content.
He could have defeated that alien and taken up his place on that planet, the alien could have taken his form, or maybe they've done a Nomad and joined together. He could really merge with a ship and set off on a mission of destruction. That would be great.
I always despised, but I really do have a newfound enjoyment of the JJ episodes. I more so now that the JJ-Verse is dead and never to return, but they're just more enjoyable than all of the Disco ones combined.
I would like a story with a civil war between the Xidi races and maybe we'll see the return of the Avian Xidi Cast.
Primates and Arboreals more pro federation while Reptilians and Insectoids are more pro KDF, aquatics are pretty much neutral and maybe Avians are also neutral, I'm pretty sure the Avians did survive the destruction of the Xindi homeworld but probably died out when they told the Sphere Builders to f off, we know that the Sphere Builders were manipulating the Xindi, who's to say that they lied about the Avians.
A storyline that takes into account your faction/allegiance - ideally, both your faction/allegiance AND your race - and tailor the content (meaning: the dialogue options) based on that so that everyone, regardless of faction/alligiance and/or race, can still have an immersive experience.
I'd like some more exploration - @westmetals idea of further exploring the Delta Quadrant is a solid one, but barring that it would be interesting to see the Gamma Quadrant in the wake of the Hurqs war against the Founders - something that doesn't requires us to go through the "wave after wave after wave of enemies" mechanics, (i.e.: maybe trying to prevent a war, so minimal combat, instead of having to react to one falling on your doorstep like it has been for every single conjoined storyline so far).
It'd be fine time for an invasion. The Hurq took it's toll on the Dominion, including the death of the lead Founder. Imagine if Dominion was (because of it's size and power) inadvertently protecting the rest of the galaxy from a threat either on the edges of the Gamma Quadrant or beyond the Great Galactic Barrier. A weakened Dominion would open up doors to be exploited.
All the more reason for the Dominion to work with the other galactic factions again.
I think Odo's in charge now, but with Rene Auberjonois' passing, we won't be able see Odo's return for a passing of the torch episode for STO. Sure it could be covered in a Blog, but they tend to be swept away the way the News Section of these forums work. It would have to be dealt with in an episode, but without new dialogue from Odo, it's going to take some care to both honour the actor and the character.
I don't know how they'll be able to work around Aaron Eisenberg's passing. I'm sure that Captain Nog would have played a major role in an invasion of the Gamma Quadrant, but without the voice acting from Mr. Eisenberg, it'd be hard to explain why Nog was missing without having him being removed permanently from DS9.
I guess Cryptic would've to have something happen to Nog (i.e. temporal or dimensional shenanigans) that would temporarily remove him and the U.S.S. Chimera off the chessboard that is the Gamma Quadrant invasion.
Would be nice if there was another arc involving Gamma Quadrant that those who weren't able to be a part of the first Gamma Quadrant arc (like Cirroc Lofton, Colm Meaney and Nicole de Boer) to round out the cast. They could raise a glass to the passing of Odo, while honouring the passing of Rene Auberjonois and Aaron Eisenberg.
At the end of the arc, the return of Nog (from his mission gone awry) could be handled in a mostly silent cutscene with the U.S.S. Chimera arriving at DS9 for docking, switch to Nog boarding the station through the docking airlock, have the DS9 cast and the player character greet him, and then switch to Nog and Jake Sisko up on the mezzanine in their old meeting place chatting away as the camera pulls away like in some of the episodes on DS9 as they catch up with each other.
For not being the leader of the Dominion, she sure as hell was ACTING like it throughout the entirety of DS9 and even moreso in STO post-Facility 4028 - hell, I think she even called it HER Dominion in those old research logs, or at some point during the gamma arc.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.
