Their metrics are skewed. We all know this. The bigger issue will always be this: how do you make it work to your advantage? How do you get them to directly/indirectly give you what you want? Unfortunately, as long as the big ticket stuff sells like it does then the smaller things will never be implemented (unless they…

If they think using a skeleton crew that’s maintaining the game in its current state is a “success”, then I think it’s time they think about selling it to a studio that’s going to make some real improvements because this ain’t it. Every time I read something from someone associated with them, it’s becoming apparent to me…

To me, it’s not so much what faction it is but moreso how it plays into the game narrative. For one, are they going to be Fed/KDF aligned? Because, if they are, then their missions have to play into the beginning arcs and, as we’ve seen with the writing team lately, it’s been spotty at best to their creativity of cohesive…

I’m still on the fence if I want to go full retro or go with updated uniforms and ships. Right now I’m using the Temer Raider for my recruit. Trying to find a retroT6 ship that works for me is hard. I’m leaning towards a temporal one but, because I already bought the 31st century pack, I feel like buying the rest of the…

> @jonsills said: > Why would the Gorn, or any other subject race of the Klingon Empire, be conducting (or being permitted to conduct) further development of combat starships? Pretty sure the KDF spends a fair bit of their offscreen time making sure the lizards don't revolt against the Empire, given the presence of Gorn…

If there is a dearth of new ship designs to bring in that is canon, and there is latitude to create new ones, then I hope they add new ships for existing species. They can add some new C-Store and Lockbox designs that can be really wild and creative. Give the Gorn a Raider. Let the Lukari advance some more with their ship…

> @sennahcherib said: > not totally true, a lot of players use the same ship just for the boffs layout.

I wonder if we took this discussion to Twitter what kind of reaction there’d be at Cryptic? Since the forums don’t count, and they’re fond of Twitter, how about, instead of all this conjecture and sniping at each other, we flood their mentions! Put the community gripes front and center for all to see. No studio wants bad…

Homeworld’s should be built up and have all services accessible. If you can visit it, it should feel like “Home” and not just a barren wasted space wasteland.

Ground patrols? I’m here for them. Only problem I see is that most of the enemies I would want we’re either in a Alliance with or at least on friendly terms.

The biggest issue is not that the Borg (and other ‘villains’) have been reduced to basically “villain of the week” status, is the fact that I think they’ve pretty much run into the wall of “who’s next?”. I don’t see them being able to take any of the current roster of in game villain forces and making them matter past a…

It really sucks that the Borg have been stripped to almost nothing. To reduce them from a hurricane to a gentle breeze is a real lack of storytelling. I agree with those that few it was a simple lack of capable storytelling. Not everything is supposed to be “overcome”. The Borg could have found ways to not only assimilate…

It amazes me that we as players can come together, having never met, yet can be able to formulate basic working ideas for contents hat we would like to see yet get routinely ignored by those that are asking us to continuously pump our money to keep them paid.

> @rattler2 said: > No. That's actually the transformation mechanic we've seen from ships like the Dysons, the Titan, and Mirror Crossfield.

I like playing with those that have the high DPS builds. If you’re grinding for marks anf have to rerun certain tf’s it gets boring fast. So if I (or someone else) have a build(s) that speed it up, what’s the inherent problem? The bigger issue is that accumulating stuff like marks/dil/ec requires too much time that isn’t…

Hard hard pass. Ship designs have been getting weirder and weirder in my opinion. Outside of the Alliance Battlecruiser and Raider, every new design has been a miss for me as of late. At least it’s a lockbox one so there’s a good chance I won’t see it onscreen. Pretty sure Kanye is going to use this as inspiration for a…
