View Full Version : My wish list for STO....

I was just thinking about all the things I love about other games I've played and so just wanted to post my favorites that would be cool in STO. One MMO with something for everyone would be nice.

I hope players will be able to make clothes in STO. That was one of the things I liked the most in SWG was making clothes, designing outfits.

SWG had a very involved dance system and their dance animations were superbly done (unlike LOTRO and WOW).

Missions that are not just go here and kill 12 of these. I am praying and hoping that STO has missions for exploration, first contact, mining or maybe a series of missions to solve a mystery. I don't mind combat but I don't want it to be all there to the game like STO in the vastness of space.

Housing, but I suppose your spaceship is your house so I hope it has free form decorating and the ability to design the interior (don't laugh but the sims has great housing stuff).

So that's my wish list. I'm pretty sure STO won't meet all these needs but I hope it meets a couple of them.

Akaara...

I don't think we'll see much in the way of creating your own outfits. Characters are either in Starfleet or the Klingon Defense Fleet.. either way you'll be wearing a uniform. I think you'll have your choice of uniform designs but either way it will still be a uniform. Militaries are not big on celebrating individuality.

I would love to see a sophisticated dance system... no reason, just want it. Anyone up for tap dancing with Data?

If I have to destroy an ecosystem to collect 10 boar tusks .... ** insert graphic language here **

The devs did say they are planning on making customizable ship interiors. Unfortunately they also said that feature wouldn't be ready in time to ship with the game but they promised to but it into an update when it's ready.

I just pray to god that there is no dancing.

Forgot to throw in my own items for the wish list...

I like mini-games! What about being able to play golf or dabo or any other kind of game / gambling?

Stargate Worlds (before they lost their financial backers) was going to have mini-games for the non-combat classes that would give experience points and sometimes specific drops (like blueprints for better sensors for beating certain sensor related mini-games). I like this idea. Blowing up bad guys might make me a better soldier but it's not going to make me a better scientist or engineer. I would like to see a mini-game for something like curing an alien virus or reprogramming an alien computer.

In one interview, Zinc (I think it was Zinc) said that we could expect some of the normal features for guilds, and in the list of these common guild-benefit features he listed a guild uniform. He didn't give details about the "guild uniform" but it called to mind the guild tabbard in WOW. It would be cool if we could have a standard uniform and then our guild uniform that the guild gets to design or assemble from an array of optional components.

In this thread (http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=487316#post487316), Zinc said: "You definitly will have customizable options within the costume creator. And you definitly won't be locked into one costume for the history of your character."

There are a couple of models I really would like to see... REALLY bad. Heck... half the fun (for me at least) .. is getting the ship. Ahhhh yessss .. the ship.

So .. yeah ... I hope for a really good one.

:cool:

Can there be a series of missions or story ark where a ship is lost and wants to get home ala Voyager or deep exploration where i don't have to fight or run in to Klingon's or Romulan's they've been done to death i thing if the klingon's and feds are gonna go to war i'd hope the Organian's would step in and put a stop to it i like conflict as much as the next guy i just want some thing different have your guys start working on scientific puzzles and such medical things how about the return of the Marquis.
