Ships Need Better Interiors

Captain's Blog Stardate 92135.77

Can I just talk about ship interiors for a second? I like ship interiors, actually I love them, but there is a problem. What do we do in them? They look nice but they are kind of a social gathering place. Still, the interiors are mostly useless. There are a few unique ones, even ones with completely unique interiors (TOS enterprise and Defiant), but nothing to do in them.



Now it seems that Cryptic is pretty much refusing to create unique interiors because people don't use them. People don't use them because there is nothing to do in them. There is nothing to do in them because Cryptic doesn't work on them. Cryptic doesn't work on them because people don't use them. I think we've found the problem, it's a never ending loop. So here are my suggestions for ship interior functionality.



1) We need a way to travel through sector space from our bridge. Go on your bridge, choose a destination from a list, then the game does some math. Speed and distance can give you time. Once the countdown timer is finished you can exit your ship and be at your destination.



2) The ready room should have a way to visit the Captain's Table which can be access by 400 day veterans. Right now you have to go to your home world, find the ugly blue cloud, and enter the Captains' Table. If I had a way to get there from my bridge I would probably visit more often.



3) Why don't we have a tailor on our ships? It really shouldn't be necessary to visit a social map in order to change our uniform. Let us do it on our ships! I understand if you don't want to put the bank or exchange on there, but at least a tailor.



4) A sort of working holodeck would be nice. This could have two features. First, it could allow us to spawn ground enemies with different levels of difficulty that we could fight as practice. Second, it could instantly allow us to replay any missions we've already completed without having to travel to the system.



Is there anything you would like to see on ship interiors?
