How amazing would it be to be able to beam down - or shuttle down from ESD space to Earth. I have seen a lot of discussion on the forums over time concerning a central hub, possibly even a massive server with few instances (if only 1?), where players can commune. Imagine landing in San Francisco USA, at Star Fleet headquarters.. Walking in the garden, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, walking through the halls of the Academy. Even having missions there - maybe even a low level Academy training mission or two. I don't know if its ever been suggested, but it would be outstanding to have a central commune with few instances where we can even set up a market type atmosphere, have open non-instance dueling with prizes, Maybe having to defend earth from random attacks, etc..
You mean like what SWG did with Mos Eisley? Social space, market place, dueling (pvp), and intro missions all in one place? I think it's a horrible idea. But, I agree that I'd like to see Starfleet Academy, it would be a good setting for the tutorial missions. Maybe even have the 602 club as an in game place for people to recruit for fleets or PUGs to do STFs. I couldn't quite swallow the Ensign straight to Captain storyline in the tutorial mission. I also hate that every time I start an alt I have to do the tutorial again. I think it would be better if the tutorial was at Starfleet Academy and for an alt you had the option of launching straight into ESD. That's the way they did it in SWG. I know both of these issues have been discussed and I believe they are both being looked at.
I think its a great idea myself. I don't know if its a priority for the devs but I'd like to see earth. Heck we can beam down on Andoria, Vulcan, and Risa but not earth? Something seems wrong with that.
