Devs, idea for next official poll

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
It's been awhile since the last official poll. I definitely think it's time for a new one. So, here's what I was thinking:

Next Interior Pack

Note A: All with better scaling, textures, lighting, etc. than any current existing versions
Note B: For denied links from sites, right click link, copy shortcut, and paste in address bar

    Sounds good. I'd be torn between a few there.

    Let me know if I missed any important rooms that would make sense for the game.

    What does everyone think about adding the Astrometrics Lab for the Intrepid and Stellar Cartography for the Galaxy and Sovereign? They'd need a function and I'm having trouble coming up with a truly useful function for them. Let me know what you think.

    Before they add all this, I wish they'd fix the packs that are already available.

    Well, technically what we have now is sort of the Sovereign interior pack, but it really doesn't look it. Scaling is way off, corridors are wrong, the colors, textures, lighting are wrong, the ready room's missing the bed I think, the sickbay is all wrong. I think they need to do scaling fixes where possible and leave it in as a 2409 pack for those that like it. Then they need to get to work on the rest of our favorites from this list.

    I know this is just pie-in-the-sky, but I'd expect the fixed versions of the Galaxy, Defiant and Intrepid bridges to be added to the packs that folk have already bought.

    Other than that, yay for more interiors!

    One would hope so. The Sovereign pack needs a fixed version of the Sovereign bridge added as well.

    All the bridge packs need it: from scaling to boff placement issues.

    Even the default bridge in STO (last I saw in-game) had boffs with amazing thighs who sat six inches above their seats with feet planted on the ground.

    I'd just settle for official acknowledgement of the Sovereign pack.

    I agree. Interiors have kind of always seemed like they were slapped together in a hurry, especially on the bridges. I'm hoping that the TOS pack is a testbed for fixing the other interiors.
    • We need boff placement control (which we will likely get at the same time as customizable interior layouts through the foundry)
    • Far better sitting, typing tech etc. for boffs
    • Scaling fixes for all current rooms and bridges (except for maybe the Prometheus bridges, I hear the scaling is pretty good for them)
    • Texture, color, lighting, etc. changes for some bridges and rooms (like the Intrepid ones, which don't look right at all, IMHO)

    It's in the game, it just doesn't look very much like the Sovereign (I don't think any of them actually have the Sovereign's color scheme from the E)

    Still no ideas for a function for them? I'm thinking maybe, being able to go there and see a very detailed galaxy map, that has all the systems, where you can scroll over any system to read the information pop-up you'd get for that system in sector space. Of course, that could always be added to the current galaxy map (as the devs have already said they plan to make it more detailed) so it's not the best idea for stellar cartography function.

    Most excellent idea for the next poll! :D

    Definitely. These packs would sell like hotcakes. Everyone's going to want one from their favorite show so they can roleplay.

    ThomastheCrypticCat (who designs minigames for Cryptic, but is not exactly a full developer in that he isn't privy to design discussions), had some really interesting ideas that he posted in a Wrath of Khan uniform thread. He wants players to be able to make foundry missions that are set in different eras of Star Trek. Then players could eventually be able to level all the way through the game as a character from a different era, by playing only content set in that era. However, we're going to need interior sets and unifroms from all the different eras in order to be able to do that. That's why I am such a strong supporter of adding new interiors.

    Well this poll is more so about full interior sets, and the bridge is the only room shown on the Ambassador class unless I'm mistaken. Hopefully the devs already know that adding the Ambassador bridge would be a good idea.

    It definitely does need some scaling fixes, at the very least. There are sure to be some 2409 purists that would keep the 2409 interior instead of buying one from the shows. I've seen several posting here on the forums, speaking out against adding things from the past. While I disagree with them, I do think they deserve scaling fixes for their interiors.

    Yeah I think that is the only visual reference but they can use the specs to work in the other compartments/rooms or something idk but I used the "intrepid" bridge pack for the bridge of my Enterprise C.

    Yeah, the devs may be able to make a good interior pack for both the Excelsior and the Ambassador, with just the few rooms seen, but it's really hard to tell if they could pull it off well or not. There really aren't many reference images for either.

    Would be nice to have something for every Enterprise though.
