I can see there being a problem with bots. It's a similar idea to Google only limiting movies purchased on YouTube to only playing in 480p as the max quality when played on a PC, due to piracy, of course. I totally respect Cryptic's efforts to prohibit this. However, I must admit I'm still struggling to imagine such…

I love that you mentioned this. Further to my point, I would be happy to grind for Cryptic if it meant getting to enjoy the episodic content Star Trek Online featured rather than feeling my time is better spent on PvEs with other players. I'd be fine earning less with TFOs and an event campaign featuring scaling dil…

I've been playing since right before the game entered it's second year anniversary featuring the Odyssey Star Cruiser as a unique dreadnought you could earn. It does break my hear to know that so many memories have been deleted via episodes that they haven't brought back for seemingly bad reasons, such as promotion of the…
-
YES! You get it. You make some good points and I totally sympathize with the view as episodes. I would definitely like to emphasize, however, that I would say I don't expect equal payout based on time consumed as I would expect Cryptic to be interested in the moderation of player traffic as such. However, an episode paying…

I'm not seeing this "increasing content difficulty" you speak of in STO. Difficulty has at best remained the same when it hasn't decreased while at the same time the power of top-end gear has steadily increased. You now see one player vaporizing a Borg Unimatrix in seconds when it used to take a team of 5 minutes to DPS it…

Okay. I'll meet you halfway. I believe what you say about players in general. I guess I'm honestly trying to see things from a "trekkie" perspective where I would like playing episodes I can appreciate to receive proportional time rewards to help unlock other features of being a Star Trek character. With this in mind, I…

I didn't really expect this idea to be emphasized so much, but again I ask, why would Cryptic reward players the least for playing the content that should matter so much to fans and cost so much for Cryptic as a developer?
-
A great question. I will answer by reminding people that the fun behind a game comes from a reasonable pay while playing it in the form of playability. It's not as playable if it costs my limited lifetime to earn less rewards. I want Star Trek over just about anything in the world to succeed. However, after watching it…

Interesting. Thanks! For anyone else reading, instances like this are why I ask specifically: Why would I be motivated to play newer campaign content which Cryptic paid voice actors and devs to produce if there aren't hardly any rewards to do so?
-
Wow. Talk about recession.
-
I'm sure you're correct, but I've never been able to understand the business model they use and why it always seems like it can do better.
-
I'm not sure what you were intending to point out here, but it seems like you really just reiterated my point. I get what you're saying, but again, it seems like you just proved my point. Yeah, players are playing what pays more for 15 minutes, but why does 15 minutes pay more when other invested time consuming content…
-
I'm not sure I can sympathize as well with you because I've had other problems that distract, but I would love to have the option to sign up for a random space or ground option. Sometimes I'm trying to focus on space to help with Starship Mastery achievement.

And maybe have the passive NPCs standing around in swimwear come to life and attack players with water balloons like the snowmen do.
-
I'd like to add, too, that the unique coloration of Tufted birds would be more usefull if the rare coloration patterns actually stayed with the bird all the way until elder age. I just had a passion wing take on a beautiful purple and red coloration as a youth, then completely change back to generic purple and yellow as an…
-
That sounds pretty awesome, and maybe the water balloons are random colors, like when you shoot the gumdrop weapon from the winter wonderland.

I miss the nostalgia of walking into Memory Alpha and seeing the halls of glowing glass and players standing around kiosks. I also miss the warping into deep space and exploring anomalies which sometimes yielded spontaneous bridge officer missions and combat scenarios. Furthermore, I miss the old 23c missions where we…

It depresses me that after 12 years, the people running the game still haven't fixed some of these most basic issues. One of the reasons I asked for an explanation was to prove my theory (from what I understand of Cobra) that somehow coding for the game world means simple issues like you've both mentioned require someone…
-
That's pretty interesting. Thank you for sharing! Just like cross-training at work, it really helps me to learn more about the subject to keep from stressing out about it as much. I tend to be OCD about such things.
-
Like folks have mentioned, the devs supposedly see both bug reports and forum posts. However, I feel they're obviously ignoring this ongoing issue (now 2023) to focus on what they believe is more a priority for income. :s

Even if you're correct, we still had to sit there for quite a while. I'll also note it took quite a bit longer than typical. I also don't remember mines from Hur'q and I don't remember any showing up on radar. As far as I recall, the only mines in the map were tractor beam mines, which were friendly. The five of us would…
