I would like to see far more TMP / TOS skin sets but also group the existing starships together to allow better kitbashing. Also Akazi / Akagi TMP starships
The issue around the content be free is that Cryptic have zero incentive to put out new content as where new ships earn money and so have the higher priority.
I would much prefer crypt make everything available from an ingame shop and remove the loot box mechanic totally. And I know I have spent a lot on cryptic over the 8 years but I don't want them to go out of business but I think loot boxes have had their day. Maybe if they moved away from this concept of "ships" = content…
i would suggest if your going to attempt this kind of story arc in the foundry you set it on a "NPC ship" that way your not limiting yourself to certain bridge sets. Although its just going to be a lot of running around activating consoles.
Ok if your Son didnt have you to log on daily to complete the dailies for him would he feel it fair that he is locked out of achieving somthing because cryptic have implemented an arbitary lock out to the game. Likewise people who may have other comitments during a week and are unable to log in is it fair for them to be…
So reading these comments the simple answer is the benefit lies with cryptic and not the player, even though i understand why they do it i still beleive it to be a bad design desision. from a metric perspective surly having required logins to complete a task over a period of days skews the metric your reporting on because…
i would have prefered the TOS ships to have a t5+ (t6) duplicate that you could interchange the tos parts as they are only interchangable with those really aweful looking time ships (sorry designer but they are really really bad) it doesnt endear me to getting them i got a range of t1-t6 ships already and none of them have…
for the lifers i would implement a "special life timer mission" where the new player goes into borg space and gets assimilated by the borg they go through several borgy missions of assimilating a new world doing things for the collective before being rescued and liberated by either the cooperative OR starfleet / kdf /…
the problem with the whole lockbox issue is that cryptic made a vow never to charge for content that it would always be free, then they made the game free 2play with no means to bring in income because lets face it after you bought the ec cap increase and bank slots there isnt much else. The only revenue stream that…
unfortunatly cryptic have to apply "the stupidest player" concept when designing missions / content, the original Crystaline entity mission was easy as pie you could ramming speed explode and take it out in under 10 seconds. So they ramped it up so much it was actually impossible to kill with the healing crystal shards…
i got the steam runner i like it as a ship :), i never even heard of the andorian t1 ship.. But as a challenge you should add that you got to do the Episodes in Order without jumping into any STF's :)
i think they should pick a range of ships give them specific fit outs but try and make them reasonably balanced (maybe even iconic in terms of ship choice) then pick 1vs1 2v2 3v3 4v4 5v5 capture the flag / defence etc. Bring back XP gain in pvp and i mean Proper XP gain not a little bit of xp. Also mix faction so anyone…
then i bet its because the rights to the tech manual remain with the writer and not CBS paramount, which is a shame i liked some of the old TOS variants like the through deck carrier.
why are people obsessed with "hardcore" modes they have been proven to just be frustrating and lets face it stos servers are not 100% stable if you died because of "server" issues you would be running to the gms for a doo over. Diablo 3 taught us that hardcore is all well and good up to the point when you die then its a…
ok how i just completed the rifle bug issue, i did the damaged repairs on the shuttlecraft the ALpha first then beta , thats the side plasma first and then the rear plasma. If you get to the bit with the dr and equiping the rifle and it doesnt continue you need to just jump instances until it does and it will let you talk…
i didnt hear anywhere that axenar is making "profit" you have to pay people wages and they will not be able to "sell" the film for profit they will have to make it available as public domain. That was my understanding of "non profit" if i want to pay someone to make somthing as long as I dont make money from that then its…
the issue surounding axenar is when fan fiction crosses the line, its a fan production but with a high budget. And i think this is where CBS are upset but there have been other fan produced startrek "episodes/mini movies" that have had high quality production values hired profesional actors / actresses. CBS are probbaly…
i am surprised they didnt bring in the hundreds of ship classes from the TOS eras that exist in the technical manuals and fleet descriptions. The akazi the belknap the eagle loads of really good designs that people would go wow.
how about no captains everyone is a crewman and they have to do a monotonous job in the bowels of the ship and only get to experience fights from a small window into space OR have to sit in their quarters until red alert is over :D
i would love to see true kitbashed starships made up of parts from ToS / TMP / Next gen. With the option in game to set your environment to a certain era so that all ships / aliens look alike even other players uniforms and ships fall into live OR not have it and everyone looks random. I would also make starships far more…
i really dont like the nacelle styling they are like lipstips jammed onto the side of the ship. I can see what they are trying to do putting in a link to the enterprise J but i think its a bit forced.
why spend resources on somthing which you will use for an hour maybe two at the most, i have all the tier 1 ships and i would much rather fly around in the obereth than the miranda. I would much rather more kitbash options for every ship than interiors or accurate skins for tier 1 ships that last maybe an hour two if your…
there are plenty of dil sinks the starbases are a massive sink, the crafting system is a massive sink. I would say if you got so much dil that you dont know what to do with it then dump it on the cstore for a low price and let someone else use it for what it was intended. but if your wanting dil to be worth more than…
Well i just hope cryptic are just a bit behind with senidng out the emails because it makes no sense to not reward some of the players and yet reward others with no logic or method behind it.
this seems very similar to the duty officer system i would have much preferred a in game pet control system or a mini RTS or at least the option to fit out my own fleet for my own purpose. So far the admirality system is just meh.
