New Event ideas- post your feedback

[BL] Q

Ship Battle event

Captains get to run arena battles for the weekend each win grants Vp the bigger the win streak the higher the vp or have Vp based on opponents position on the leaderboard.

Beat those in top 25 get 5k Vp
Beat those top 100 get 3500 Vp
Beat those in top 500 2750 Vp
And scale down these Vp scores are merely a guide line to how Vp scores are awarded for battles


Or have captains fight a Borg cube needing every available ship to take it out refreshing lost ships as needed or wait till they refresh like Gauntlet until the cube is destroyed granting Vp rinse and repeat.

Rewards for the ship battle events instead of crew give players a break from racing to level crew in time for the event can be ship schematics for new ships that can only be gotten from playing the event like

Enterprise D retrofit
Defiant
Dreadnought
Excelsior class

These battles could also drop Holoemitters for fleet starbase.

Making participating in multiple events the only way to get schematics for these ships. Alongside schematics Add some other sweetener as rewards maybe crew at the end of the event for the following weeks Faction/galaxy event.

If you have any ideas for other types of events post them here as the current format of events are becoming monotonous at this point especially if you dislike Galaxy events. Some fresh ideas and new events would be welcome

Sorry a lil nitpick -- Do you meant the TOS Era Defiant? (The DS9 Defiant is already in game)

Not just the ships mentioned these are merely an example some from this thread could be added to the event

I always thought they could do a Gauntlet style event. Every match you win awards VP in addition to the regular rewards and progression up the leaderboard also nets you VP. Event crew gets a bonus that translates into a higher crit chance.

Now with the introduction of Voyages, there's another possibility. VP could drop from Voyages and the longer they go, the more VP you could earn. Bonus crew provides anti-matter bonuses and maybe skill checks with event crew also get a bonus somehow.

I would love a little more variety in events so any additions to them would be welcome.

Would be interesting to have two sources going at the same time. A hybrid but not a phased hybrid. (Definitely not with galaxy but some of these new types with faction or some such.)

I always thought we would have a clash of clans style war utilizing ship battles. Lasts a day or two, fleet VS fleet, each person gets a few attacks, winning fleet gets something and maybe rankings. Surprised ship battles have never been utilized in something.

What about the players at VP 14? If they geht VP Points...nothing changed....

VP = victory points - the points given in events.

Not VIP

Reminds me of the time I had over 350 tickets waiting on arena to come out thinking they'd have a ship event buying 10-20 a day before the feature was live haven't bought Arena tickets since. Fleet v fleet ship battles though would be epic

At one point, not long ago I distinctly remember DB discussing a "protect ds9" fleet mode of some sort.. anyone else remember this ?

Yes. It was Erin who said it (Facebook video). I asked about it in the ask Erin thread so lets hope she addresses it. Events are getting stale.

Events need some steriods... what about using mutiple ships to fight growing difficulty battles... Like having battles that benefit from certain low level ships... all the way up to almost impossible... with event crews providing ship boosts in event... event crew utility is important because events are an important revunue stream, and we need to pay to keep cool stuff happening I like to reward cool stuff with $$$ though I am a low wage worker, I also am a whale

Awesome ideas! I have dozens of ships going unused, and I think both the Arena and The Gauntlet are areas going to waste as far as events go. Also, I'd like to see a revamp of the shuttle/faction events because they seem to go on forever with very little input from the player or ability to strategize once you're up and running. Voyages are sorely waiting an event of their own. I think events could be mixed up, too, having a different area used each day over the weekend so people who do better in say, galaxy portions, can gain extra points on that day whereas someone with shuttles can max out their shuttle day. Allows strategy and variety and extra chances for people to have fun and do well.

Pallidyne

Both Voyages and Faction are not very interactive. Other than Voyage recall its 2 hour vs 3 hour shuttle... which would make it interesting to do something not as interactive like them, at the same time as a more interactive event rather than sequential, such as Galaxy or Gauntlet or Ship Battle.

Burnham, Michelle

At least voyages have dilemmas. These could be made so that varying answers gave different rewards and a different storyline to follow. Refills could take VP points instead of dilithium and cache rewards of VP could be based on crew level bonuses rather than totally random. The voyage could run for up to 18 hours max before automatically returning. I get what you're saying, though, Pallidyne, as far as interactivity goes. Perhaps they could be run as short voyages so there is the chance to refresh crew regularly and provide variety amd interaction.

I think it would be interesting if we got to do away team missions with shared crew from our squad/fleet, then have Event specific items picked up throughout the missions (kind of like the starbase extra items) that lend towards something needed in later faction missions.

A while back I suggested we do a bridge crew mega event where each week offered bridge crew from a different series. I agree arena is out dated and hardly means anything. I think we should be manually piloting our ships like in War Wings. The extra schems were nice but it’s still the same old mundane arena. I let commander division go and just maintain top 1k in the other two now.

I'd like to see a ship battle event similar to expedition. Damage accumulates until you reset ticket. It would encourage you to use all your ships.

Mordack

I don't think there will be any new event types.

That's why players can voice their opinions and ideas in the hope DB listen we are way overdue another event type

[SSR] GTMET

How about faction style missions, but instead of shuttles, you sent out ships with bridge crew to get rewards. Could give more interaction

Xoiiku

As others have mentioned the idea, and I have made a similar suggestion on the old forums: Idea for new event: Survival Space Battles , some sort of ship battle type of event would be cool. Particularly if there were different reasons for the battles to be taking place which presented ethical dilemmas to navigate, and Kobayashi Maru style, strategic choices that needed to be made about how to intervene in the conflict. Such that those choices were as, or even more important than the ship battles themselves.

[BL] Q

Ship battles for an event seem to be a common request so far.

I miss seeing the names of the captains your battling in the arena since Arena got upgraded. Beating captains you know and popping into line groups to tag them sparking back and forth revenge battles was the best part of arena

Commander Sinclair

I think a combo of expedition, with component building for items you need for your ship to take on a "boss" in a killer ship battle, or better: a squad ship battle against a "boss" ship.

Full sized Borg Cube?
Krenim Timeship?
Klingon Sarcophagus Ship?

This would be great having your squad working together to take down an OP ship or Doomsday machine

This is what I'd like to see in the game of not an event then as a daily fleet challenge working together with your fleetmates to take down an enemy ship sharing the loot from the spoils of war
