Game... boring! Need... new... episodes!

Tasker

Pretty please, DB? New full episodes? Please? I have a huge and talented crew with nothing left to do but grind events. It’s gotten tedious. My favorite part of the early game was matching crew to crit nodes. I miss that.

I could start a new account, I suppose, but I built up this one to play the game and there’s precious little “game” left.

More Expedition events would be all right, but of course I expect that idea will fly about as well as an anvil. Glad to see a Skirmish/Ex event coming up in the mega.

I hear you, and I agree with you — new episodes would be great — but that's only going to give us a day or two of challenges, and then it'll all be back to how it is now. I doubt they'd have the manpower (or proclivity) for doing this, but what I'd really like to see is a massive dump of new episodes. Like, maybe as many as 10 times more locations than we currently have. That's one thing I think Fleet Command did right — there are a ton of missions to play through. If it weren't for weekend events, I'd have little reason to keep playing Timelines... and even the events aren't always that intriguing any more.

The good news is there will be new missions this Friday.

Odo Marmarosa

Since full-scale expedition events are extinct, perhaps some of the early expeditions could be rereleased as episodes?

Tasker

Heck, at this point I would settle for the ability to reset the nodes, or for the same missions with an added “legendary” difficulty level and the occasional gold reward item.

@Tasker If the missions could be more of a challenge then do you think it might be more enjoyable? I know the last ones were like, done in no time.

It is difficult to have a balance between challenging for those who have built a good crew and not frustrating to newer players. I recall it being irritating waiting 22 months to get Tommy Gun Dixon so I could finish my last node. But I blew through the newest levels in an afternoon.

i would ask for actual game play vs new missions that are just copy paste of old ones

New episodes are very meh. They’re done in 5 minutes

Imagine if they could attach randomly generated missions to voyages......

This is a good idea. A mission attached to a dilemma that is different depending with what you choose...

The whole voyage system could be expanded so much, away missions on random planets, mining resources from nebulas and planets, even if it's similar to the doff missions from star trek online game.

There would be complaints about it taking more time and being harder, but I really like it. It would mean more true interactions, which is what we've been asking for.

I think they would. I remember trying to crit nodes with only a relative handful of purples. The challenge was enjoyable, though frustrating when I had to wait ages to finish Tommy Gun Dixon or a certain Odo. Now I have so many immortal golds that I can blow through new episodes like sandblasting a soup cracker. It’s still fun, and I don’t think I would want so much difficulty that you’d have to get particular golds immo before you could even think of critting the nodes, but it might be nice to really have to plan the exact sequences of characters and hope for good rolls.

Heh! I didn’t read this until after I’d posted my answer to Trista. That’s been my experience too.

Heh...Tommy Gun Dixon is still the only 4* character that I have spent honor to cite. I just couldn’t wait for him and it wasn’t even to clear that one node.

There are a few more episodes out today. If I had to think of a movie title for themit would be Gone in 60 Seconds
