Note: Delta Rising was launched October 14 but is considered to span the entire period until Season 10, scheduled to be released in early 2015. Between season launches there are small updates, C-Store releases, and minor events.

Return of Q's Winter Wonderland (December 2014/January 2015)

  • Return of Q's Winter Wonderland (Winter Event) on the 4th of December and ends on the 15th of January according to the in-game calender

Season 10 (2015)

Undetermined Release

General

  • 2nd deflector slot for Science Vessels [2][3] and comm array item for cruisers (modifying the existing auras) [1]
  • Addition of club 47 to Earth Spacedock [4]
  • Getting more voice acting in the game (for existing and new missions); DStahl & Al Rivera specifically mentioned the following Star Trek actors: [5][6]
  • Expansion of Duty Officer system [5]
    • DOff system to be implemented into the STO Gateway
    • Likely including re-release of the Tuffli Class Freighter
    • Duty officer assignment cooldowns listed (possibly Season 9) [8]
    • Possible: Duty officer commendation Tier V categories added (requirement is above the 150,000 CXP cap) [9][10]
  • Revamp of Bridge Officer training system [1]
    • Ability to command a task force of other starships captained by your bridge officers [11][12][13]
  • Revamp of remaining un-revamped episodes [1]
  • New playable faction [6], e.g., Cardassian playable species [14]
    • Return to Cardassian story would most likely be to launch a Cardassian faction with a story that players could experience for themselves [15]
  • Fundamental revamp of “State of Q”, possibly copy-pasting Avery Brooks' voice for Benjamin Sisko from DS9: "Emissary" and, ideally, featuring John de Lancie as Q. To be re-introduced as stand-alone mission at some future point of time [1]
  • More mini-games
    • "[...] entirely new mini-games that tie directly into your career" [16]
    • Poker (dependent on developer free-time; very unlikely in short term as of July 2012) [17][18][19]

Revamp of PvP system

(To happen gradually after launch of Season 8 [20][11][21], main focus will be on space gameplay at first [22], has been given priority over Foundry improvements [7])

  • STO will be first game to implement a new PvP engine developed by Cryptic [11]
    • PvP-faction for the Reputation System [20][23][24], "PvP Marks" as rewards [25]
    • Matchmaking, e.g. matching people of comparable gear level [26]
    • Rewards based on participation more than completion [27]
    • PvP ratings/leaderboard tech is now available [28][12][26][29]
  • Either replacing current PvP maps or revamping the existing ones [30]
    • Transferring existing PvE maps (Facility 4028 amongst others) to ground PvP maps, possibly with capture-the-flag mod [31][32]
    • King of the Hill PvP map for space and/or ground [33][32]
    • Ground combat may have Battleground-style development in long-term [28]
  • Possible: Starbase PvP Challenges [17]
    • Fleet vs Fleet (KDF vs FED) territory control game ("controlling and or harvesting a vast variety of resources") [34][35] [33][36]

Foundry improvements

(Many major improvements to be ported over from Cryptic's game Neverwinter [37][5])

  • The Foundry will be made "more visible" to anyone "flying around" in space
  • Original plan: "First half of 2014 [3]:"
    • Ability to create a "campaign/arc", i.e., a sorted string of several foundry missions [38][31][3]
    • Ability to subscribe to specific Foundry authors [31][3]
  • New assets [37][5][3]
    • Interior editor [39][5]
    • Ability to prepopulate maps with prefab detail object layouts [39]
  • "My Favorites" tab for Foundry missions [8]
  • Older plan: Foundry faction in Reputation System [24][3]
  • Remastering (cutscenes etc.) and incorporating the best Foundry missions into the hard code of the game as part of the official story line; possibly replacing some of the less popular Cryptic missions [32]

Ships

  • Last remaining canon Federation ships will come, including new designs that may not have a unique console [15]
  • Refit Negh'Var [3]
  • "Metric ton" of new ships by the end of 2014 [3]
  • Revamped playable versions of Typhoon & Jupiter class dreadnoughts is a possibility [14][40]

[41][12][34][40][42]

Older ideas

The following updates have been mentioned by the developers and not retracted since then, yet over 12 months have gone by since they were last mentioned.

  • Long-term goal of Reputation System: KDF/FED/ROM-specific reputation factions that function as voting system in which the players decide which project to fund, thereby influencing the general direction of their whole faction (e.g., which fleet ships are going to be released next etc.) [22]
  • More new sectors in Alpha Quadrant [34][43], probably as "Founders of the Federation" expansion [13]
  • Adding Dilithium as a reward for all Cryptic-made story missions in game [45]
  • Update of Accolade system [46], including more challenges and rewards [39][12]
  • Improved UI of Exchange [37][11][47][38]
  • Animated Andorian antennae [46][48][36]
  • Department Heads, and Off-Duty revamps are on hold as of October 2012[49]
    • First Officer system is not on schedule as of December 2012, but may be revisited with increase to Full Admiral[14]
      • Convert First Officer to playable Captain and vice versa [33]
        • This would allow for Breen (FE Reward), Borg (STF Reward), and Jem'Hadar (FE Reward) playable captain species [50]
        • Converting veteran reward-Android bridge officer will not be possible (vetoed by CBS) [36]
    • Bridge officers who are put in as First Officer, Chief Engineer, Chief Medical Officer, etc. gain some new abilities/perks [51][43][52][53][54][55]
      • Department Heads and First Officer will leverage Expertise and can be individually augmented by Duty Officers of their respective departments [56]
      • First Officers will grant additional lower-level Captain powers depending on their respective specialization [57][58]
      • First Officers will occupy a special, additional bridge station. This may be closer to increasing the skill cap to Admiral.[49]
  • Revamp of DS9 Under Siege fleet action (after Season 8) [28]
  • Merge all sectors into one map [48][31][34]
  • Minor restructuring and general layout improvement of sector space [11]
    • Ability to warp to a friend and/or improving travel between sectors[33]

  • Better control of limits on provision usage by fleet rank [65]
  • Account shared currencies [12]
  • Single player or co-op versions of ground STFs [11]
  • Possibly more uniform options for Breen and Reman bridge officers [36]
