STO Development as of April 20, 2010

I found the recent 'Engineering Report', which details what the dev team is currently working on for STO fascinating. There's a lot of good things to look forward to between now and July.

For instance:

April

• New Task Force featuring Undine (Species 8472 from Voyager)


• Difficulty Slider


• Changes and better filters for the Exchange (Auction) - I'm very excited about these changes!


• Playable Fed Packled - I'm not excited about this...

May

• Updating Memory Alpha ('crafting')


• Accolade System (badges)


• Squad System (sidekicking) - Friggin' eh!


• Replay (flashback)


• Bridge Officer Trading


• Playable 'Caitian' (Cat people)

June

• New Task Force


• Dabo minigame (seen in Quarks on the DS9 show)

July
Season 2!

• New level cap


• High end episodes (mission arcs)


• Klingon episodes


• Multi-faction episode region


• Ship interiors for players (think personal housing)


• Diplomacy missions

and more.

This is in addition to bug fixes and a lot of other things that are a bit less important to me personally.
