thanks everybody for your responses. from here on because huge posts can be tedius, i'm just going to make smaller posts focused on single issues. the main problem i see with the game that limits my enjoyment is better understood if i just explain to you my experience. take the new crystaline event. i'm an engineer captain…

i just don't understand what politics has to do with this topic at all. so what if these jew haters also happen to be republicans. there are a lot of man-haters who are democrats. do all democrats hate men and therefore should be burned at the stake? a person is free to love or hate whoever they want and at the same time…

are there any current issues? because i all of a sudden have not been able to launch arc ever since i got home from a buddy's house. worked fine while i was there.

i think you understand what i'm saying, you're just not accepting it. i actually saw an interview with michio kaku where he explained his beliefs in that area, and he used einstien as an analogy for his own beliefs. no, he doesn't believe in a personal God who answers prayer to go smite the philistines. yes, he does…
-
actually, einstein did believe in a God. he might not have called him Jehovah or Jesus, but i'm pretty sure his god was sentient. the god of beauty, order, creation. same with michio kaku. most of the great scientists believe in a higher power. they don't believe that everything ended up the way it did by accident, when…

'nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care'. your assumptions about other people here are completely emotional, baseless, without any support of fact, and without merit. that doesn't sound like an empirically minded scientist to me.
-
i enjoy your criticizms of the suggestions, but i think that you aren't tracking with the main theme of my suggestions. the point of everything goes back to what i said earlier, to migrate the way the game is played from being"LEVEL" based to being skill based, as the designers promised it would be. in a skill based game,…

i'm pretty sure that political bashing is against forum rules. you don't have to be democrat to enjoy science, science fiction, video games, or star trek. for that matter, there are many fine republicans who are spearheading the way to help out underprivilaged people. there are also many people who vote republican but…
-
you are absolutely right, up to that spot. however, several assumptions have to be made about cryptic before we move on; i assume that cryptic wants to make money selling their product. i assume that they intend to do this by satisfying customer demand. and i also assume that they are in touch with what their customers…
-
thanks for the kind rebuke. you're right, maybe 'babies' was a bit harsh. but i come from a military background as well, so i don't always say the most diplomatic thing. unfortunately, although i agree with you that putting my ideas out on the forum is not ideal, and not likely to get highly noticed, i have no way to make…

what i think is funny is that many people roll their eyes at dungeons & dragons. they think yeah, it was cool for a few years back in the 70's, but now with video games you have to be the nerdiest of the nerds to play that. what they don't realize is that dungeons & dragons is still pioneering roll play, and it is games…

even though logically, in the 'real' world excelsior would be decomissioned, if you want to make money, you can't beat the romantic heart. that means defiant class, intrepid class and galaxy classes will need to get T6 upgrades too. why? because we grew up watching those ships kick butt and we have an emotional attachment.…
-
i would like to say also, that over the years i've noticed that cryptic does try to be responsive to player input. what i've seen is people make suggestions, and then they get hotly debated for awhile, and then go quiet for some time. and from a dark jeffry's tube in the bowels of a prison barge, a lonely tech emerges and…
-
i expect it would be no less than a complete season update. and nothing that i've suggested is beyond the scope of possibility. did somebody say sector space upgrade about a year and a half ago? :D i'm pretty sure i did, with a number of other peeps too. of course there were naysayers then 'it can't be done!' and 'i'd…

okay, onto part two combat zones... current PvE SUCKS. hundreds of meaningless 'enemy signal contacts' lurk around sector space and pose no threat at all. where is the risk? where is the adrenaline? i remember being 15 levels too low, running north out of Theramore Island in WoW and being chased down by giant hairy spiders…
-
i don't ask for instant or blind following, especially since you've already given yours to cryptic. your flatulent contentiousness is now reduced to defending cryptic's lack of action in this department because of their limited resources. defending a baseless position is not anywhere close to proposing an alternative that…
-
you know what? you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. i am lazy. i don't want to spend hours running around when i could be getting into missions faster. secondly, you brought up a good point. with a little added programming. they could spice things up by making these currently 'useless' zones capture-able by opposing factions. the…
-
why do you have to mock? is hard to accept the idea that cryptic is responsive to the input of the players? isn't that why we have the forums here? you just have a self-serving bias. you don't like the idea, so you have to discredit the possibility that cryptic listened to me before. as if they would listen to the entire…
-
i just noticed how they filtered out my mention of "the other guys" HAHAHA... wow... can we say inferiority complex? hahaha... can't even mention the competition. i can understand not wanting to let forum users abuse the forum by advertising or attempting to take players away from STO for the competition, but filtering out…

anyway, to get back on-topic. sometimes you need just a quick stop so you DON't have to transwarp back and then huff it back to where you were. the only places that should NOT have hubs are in the 'unexplored' areas. but even those have the random encounters, like in the hromi cluster. all procedurally generated. you tell…
-
i agree to a certain extent. but when i transwarp back to ESD then i still have to huff it all they way back. but that's part of the game. what would world of ******** be like if there was no gryphon ride? part of the game is the ride from one point to another. unfortunately star trek doesn't have visuals like world of…
-
i knew someone was guna come back with that. that's the complete opposite of what i just said. the point i was making is that if these planets have no current use in the game then they could just put an outpost there so that at least i don't have to fly all the way across the map to get to the nearest starbase. there…

now how stupid would i have to be to waste valuable time worrying about capitalization on an internet forum? least of all attempting to impress you. and really, the best you got is that i didn't capitalize. again. not being rude. just objective. if people wana be jerks and give us a hard time for rightfully stating our…
-
i don't apologize if you can't but help feeling inferior in my presence. it's a natural reaction. i've come to deal with it in my life. for the record, i don't consider myself superior or above average intelligence....or rather, what average intelligence SHOULD be. i actually consider myself what the minimum average should…
-
my problem isn't with cryptic. they actually are doing a decent job RESPONDING... it's lame brains here in the forum that are acting like this is normal and we should be happy about it. key word is REACTING.... not being pro-active. which is unfortunate. this problem shouldn't have happened in the first place
-
go take your smug espresso sipping attitude elsewhere. you just betray your idiocy. "hmmm let's see how stupid i can be! i enjoy NOT being able to use the things i pay for, and then trying to pretend to show how mature i sound by telling other people to not be upset at the problem. look at me! i'm happy that i get to sit…
-
if you have to ask that question then you have absolutely no grasp on reality. you have a Q of thousands of people and you want to know where the race is? the analogy is that i have a ticket for STO... like a ticket to indy 500. it's not like ... i knew they were going to have this problem, and decided ahead of time not to…

that's not the point you brown nose stained TRIBBLE sniffer. if you went to the car dealer and just spent 50,000 dollars on a car, how would you feel if the dealer said thanks for the money, but you'll have to wait in line to drive the car... for about a month. ??? this game is not a freaking night club where i can choose…
