Random Improvements: What's Your Idea?
Would love to hear feedback on these unrelated ideas for game improvement, along with your own ideas!
Some random ideas for game improvement:
1) Remove trainers from Gauntlet and replace with honor (small bits, 25 or 50 is fine).
2) Add multi-tiered Gauntlet. Do a Gauntlet for 4-5 star crew and one of 3-4 star crew. Makes it better for rookies and vets.
3) Do an event like a campaign, i.e. it's not just shuttles, or building, or skirmish, or expedition. Why not a combo of ALL those things where you garner points (like campaign or dailies)? This might make it harder for whales to beat the pants off everyone.
4) MORE EPISODES.

Even though I still haven't completed them all, it's nice to be able to go back and do these as I level crew up.

TP: Do better!!!
In line with that previews of things that are planned.
Increase the drop rate for legendary crew for players in VIP level 14 (or higher if there are more levels).
Introduce a ship building achievement.
- Allow for auto-dilemma-choice for Voyages so you don't have to check back in
- Allow for auto-skirmishing at a reduced rate and reduced success rate than if you were actually playing
- More player-choice content like one-off events or new crew
All suggestions/requests made with love and understanding that there's a lot to do in a game studio and only so many things can get done in a finite amount of time with a finite set of resources.
But I BELIEVE in DB!
YES!!! That is a GREAT point!
And that's why it should be a toggle-able option!
That way people who can run 8/10 hour voyages can just let them run and anyone who wants to leave the dilemmas in as manual can.

Sure, last time they renovated it, we gained the ability to sort and search. But it STILL separates the frozen crew from the active crew. The whole point of sorting them in there is to see ALL of my crew, frozen and active, sorted by skill scores. Why else would I be in there!?!?!
Please, DB, arrange them all together. End the segregation!
Maybe new episode(s) could be based around the upcoming Picard series. That will give DB some time to line things up.
A new game mode would be nice, but I'm having a tough time envisioning it. We have shuttles that use base scores, gauntlet that uses proficiencies, Voyages that use a combination of both, Arena that uses its own set of numbers, and events that use each of those things while accounting for crew traits. I'm all for a new game mode, but it would take some new stats or elements or some innovation to use what is existing.
There was also a thread for Voyage "captain bonuses". I liked that idea. Partly because it could be an excuse to have more star base rooms.
Now that I think about it, could the passive Arena stats be used in some way? Space station defense? Like defending DS9 from being taken? Ship stats to repel ships and maybe one crew for each stat to repel boarding parties. Seems like an every-six-month type of event like Expedition.
I call this the "Let people sleep at night during faction events" improvement, but LPSANDFE sounds like a star wars alien name, just without the apostrophes.
-EDIT-
If I could make one change, this would be it. Consider it the Bartender position or something, but leave a spot for somebody to just sort of be there and contribute without being part of the actual crew.
I think it would be very cool if somewhere on the galaxy map our fleet starbases actually appeared visually, and it would be equally cool if we could see our fleetmates' ships parked on the various map locations!
And put all variants of one character together, so that when I'm looking for Picard I also get Dixon Hill and Galen or when I look for Sisko I also get Benny Russell and Hippocrates Noah.
- More dilemmas or better luck getting the 2nd or 3rd part
- Get rid of Gauntlet trainers
It would also be nice to have something when picking your crew to give you an idea of how long your voyage would last. Just an estimated voyage length to make it easy to see how different crew and different skill combinations will effect how long the voyages last.
