Let me know when the ground combat patch arrives, until then I'm cancelling my sub

I am soon to cancel my Star Trek Online Sub. At least for now. I may come back after the ground combat patch has been applied. So I'll keep my eye on these forums so that I'll know when the ground combat patch is released.
Personally I have played for more than 130 hours with Star Trek Online. I love the space combat but I have hated every minute of the ground combat. I cannot speak for other people. What a person enjoys is subjective. However, for me, ground combat in this game is not very enjoyable. There is only so long I can overlook the (what I consider) disappointing for the good. While in MMO terms, 130 hours may not be a lot of hours but I think I have given Star Trek Online more than enough time for me to judge what I like and don't like.
I have to give Cryptic credit. They have made a lot of good changes in the last year to make the game better. I played in the beta knew there were a lot of changes that needed to be made to the game before I would fullly enjoy it. So I held off playing the game until a few months ago knowing that all these good changes were made. And I did enjoy the game a lot more. However I still hated the ground combat. Cryptic is supposed to come out with a patch in the next few months that changes how ground combat works. For the better I hope. I may come back and try the game after they implement those changes but I think I have had enough of the ground combat. If I could ignore all the ground combat missions altogether, I would but you need to do some of them to level up and then to progress the story of course.
So I think I'll play a few final space battles and then cancel my sub. At least for now. As I said, I'll be keeping an eye on these forums and reading the Engineers reports so that I'll be aware of the changes being made to the game. I hope this game grows to the point when I will enjoy the ground combat because I really, really love the space combat. I have nothing bad to say about space combat.
Anyway, farewell for now.

And 130 hours is decent enough to form an opinion......I'll give ya that.
Well, hope you don't stray for too long..........see ya again real soon.......
Nope. But I would probably pull any exchange listings and empty my mailbox as bugs can sometimes make those things harder to retrieve. Anything else should be good to go when you come back... and I hope it isn't too long, even as someone who loves the current ground system.
I hope you come back soon til then good luck.
That being said, this is still a glorified "I quit" thread. I'm sure once Stormy has had his morning Foundry fix this thread will be closed.
You make it sound like a small thing.
I, also, despise ground combat. Every time it starts, I stop paying attention to the game. These days, I just avoid it.

That post is buried deep inside one of the numerous 20+ page threads. It's a little much to expect everyone to read every forum post. With that said, apparently Season 4 is going to be the biggest patch yet and they are updating the game engine to support some new features. Anyway, I will link the posts dstahl made about it.

Thanks again for all your responses.
Good luck to you, I hope to see you around in June though!
While playing through those missions _now_ will probably lead to more ground combat that he hates.
It might be a good idea to wait then.
Personally, I just do Space PvP and do the PvE content on Normal so that Ground combat is a breeze that my BOs can do for me if I am really lazy.
We'll keep a seat open for you at Quark's.
I did get moneys worth bought the game on Amazon for $2.50 and the deluxe version for $5 so got all the free stuff. However, June/July is to long away for me to continue to sub to a game that I find 50% of it is an Abomination. I'll try the game again after the combat tweaks or if they nerf the HPs on non STF mobs to speed up the ground combat.
