    Why are they working on letting people explore the ships when huge problems already exist with the game. Who is in charge of the priority list... XD?

    The funny thing is that the engine room and medical bay for the Miranda class ships are already in the game. You actually visit those places in the tutorial and in some away missions. So why not just allow the player to visit a copy of those instances with npcs walking about in the rooms?

    Now, take a copy of the medical bay, remove the view to the shuttle bay through the windows, and replace the beds with chairs and a bar and you have yourself a "Ten Forward / Galley".

    In one mission you visit a Holodeck. Stick a console in and a large version of the Galaxy map and you have an Astrometrics Lab.

    Yes, the above are rudimentary suggestions. But they are better than what we have now.

    Mhhh... i'm in need of an holographic bridge where to try ground weapons and combat tactics with my crew. In my opinion this is not a so difficult thing to implement.

    Anyway, something need to be done because the bridge view now is completely USELESS!!!

    It is, and the real annoyance I have is that 1/3 of the bridge configurations (e.g. the "Standard" one) actually have the view screen out of alignment with the captains chair. The "Defiant style configurations don't though, thankfully.

    oh they'll get there..

    right now they're working on finishing the endgame stuff with the borg that they've already announced, as it was already in production as the game went live, then they'll be looking at making new stuff based on player feedback (link to lots of questions answered by devs in my sig)

    i think the problem with it right now is allowing for instances to be made, better to have the servers making instances for missions and critical-to-game instances than interiors till they can stablise them more, not to mention re-flavouring them so there's a degree of customisation like the bridges have.

    but yeah, they're listening, they know what we want and they're working on getting it in game..

    A fair question, mostly, as they want the style to fit I imagine. As a sidenote, that wasn't a Miranda class ship you were saving in the tutorial, it was a Sovereign :) [the Khitomer], at least at first. You start off in the mess hall of a Miranda, and goto the bridge of a Miranda, after that, you're on the Khitomer until space :).

    And well frankly, it's art resources :).

    True exploration?

    I think the first and most important location to complete would be the Captain's Ready Room. This would be a location to place/mount merits, awards, souvenirs, etc. that was discussed far before closed beta.

    I think what he's referring to is a sense of exploration of uncharted space, such as a sandbox-feel like EVE has, or at least a much less restrictive "genesis system" for handling random star systems in a huge, open-ended area of space. It was talked about long before closed beta. While I for one enjoy STO as it is now, I'd love to see open-ended exploration, especially when it comes to player-controlled fleet stations/space as was mentioned last year and discussed in great detail.

    I love this idea, and it's the first I've heard of it or even thought about it.

    It can be a good start.

    The game can change? evolve?
    An MMO?

    I think it's possible

    Thanks. A lot of other community members had some great ideas and discussion in this area last year. Unfortunately those threads have been archived by Cryptic after launch, so it's tough to find them on this site now (but can still be googled with the right keywords such as interior, ship, bridge, mount points, etc.).

    It would be fun to have missions take part on the ship as well.

    What, no holodeck? Shuttle bay?

    Honestly, if we only got two to start: Captain's ready room (that we can design hopefully!) and the main conference room off of the bridge.

    Do they still use toilets in the future? I don't recall Picard saying to Riker, 'Hold on number one, I'll be right out, I'm just doing a number 2'.

    Sorry couldnt resist :o

    I'd love some extra rooms inside the ship.

    Unfortunately I feel they really need to add some bridges. First off the bridges arent ship specific in any way. Also, there's not really a lot to choose from. And half of them look like TRIBBLE.
