...some new kind of system where you can put people on duty to do away missions (don't see the point really in it). And you can't buy a ship now, you need to process dilithium...
You do the Duty officer system (and exploration missions, and some normal missions) for Dilithium; or you could be a subscriber and get a ship for free.
The last mission that was added was from march 2011!!
Do you actually realise how SMALL the STO team is? From what I recall, under 100 people; which is TINY in development and testing terms. They've also been on hold with almost ALL production since Perfect World announced the purchase, for legal reasons. CBS also needs to approve EVERYTHING that goes into the game, missions, ships, weapons etc.
Almost every new ship that they have added is in the c-store for a huge amount of money, i mean come on! THese guys are just ruining the game! Its already come to f2p, they better make these ships free, or else no one is gonna play the f2p too!
It's a F2P game, how else do you thnk they're going to make as much money as before? Anyway, aside from the consoles (which add a very small amount of boost) the C-Store ships are equal to the standard ones. I play better in my Sovereign class than my Saucer Sep Galaxy class.
Foundry missions-> can't play it! (as a silver play, i should! but no!)
Silver players SHOULD be able to play Foundry missions, it says so in the F2P Features Matrix, ever thought it may be a bug?
They better put all the ships on free and just make lots of missions (quality wise) and put perhaps some characters or weapons or dunno what in the c-store.
Ok, as said before, they need to make money SOMEHOW, and one of the main reasons they need to is the massive server and network upgrades they've been doing behind the scenes. You may remember the serious lag issues that occurred when you were playing before, imagine over twice the number of people trying to play because they don't HAVE to pay?
If you read the sto forum, not a lot of people are really happy, a lot old players are already gone actually. Too bad they fucked the game up by all of this 
Okay, no matter what a game does, people leave in droves when a big update occurs, look at TF2 with the hats, look at EVE with the NEX store/Incarna debacle.
The 'refining limit' for Dilithium makes people rage, why? I've never even come CLOSE to the daily limit of 8,000.
(And it remembers how much you've refined over the previous week, and measures up if you havent logged in).
EDIT: Apparently that's Gold players only, my bad. Also, Dilithium can be exchanged for C-Store points and vice-versa, so if you play STO enough to love it, you can get C-Store points for ZERO real money.
Lol five, that's like a day of gaming if not less. There should be a release of 10 missions every week if not more, people should not stop an mmo because there are no missions anymore.
Okay, so where do you think they're going to get TEN decent missions a week from? As I said, don't forget everything needs to be approved by CBS before ANYTHING goes ahead.
The Featured Episode series are supposed to be akin to an actual TV miniseries, do you know ANY TV show that makes more than two episodes per week?
