Season 4 and More

I don't want to do it. Don't make me talk about it. Fine! Here it is once again, lets talk about Season 4. Okay I promise this whole blog won't be about it. By now you should know about the features that Season 4 has to offer, I won't go over them again. So plain and simple, now that everyone has played with it, what do you think? I've finally given ground combat a serious test and I like it. It definitely needs some getting used to though. By the way, I'm so glad they added a way for us to switch between our ship and our shuttle without having to visit a space dock. Yay! Moving on. The next two things to look forward to are the Duty Officer (DOff) system and the DS9 featured episode. If you aren't sure what the DOff system is about then check out this thread http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=220296 which has some good info. Basically you have DOffs which you can send on assignments and get different rewards. Some DOffs even have passive skills which will give your ship some kind of boost depending on the skill. Next is the DS9 series. Well I don't know if its going to be entirely based on DS9 or something else, but I am looking forward to it. The featured episodes have just been getting better each time and I hope this series has at least the same quality that Cloaked Intentions has, if not better. So lets take a guess, who will our enemy be? The True Way? The mirror universe? Someone else? My guess is the True Way and this series will mostly deal with DS9, Cardassia, and Bajor. Speaking of featured series, I know I haven't released the third part to "The Price of Science" yet. I've been busy updating the site and preparing for Season 4. Right now the Foundry is down so I can't work on it, but hopefully this week it will be brought back up and I can get started on part three. If everything works out I'll release it next week, but rest assured I will make an announcement when it is ready. Now I finally get a chance to ask this. What does everyone think of the new site layout? I decided it was time for a change and the site needed to be better. I'm happy with it so far but please let me know what you think. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for improvements please feel free to contact me and let me know. I want to make sure this is the best site for all of you. What are you look forward to in STO within the coming months?
