The following is an archive of future additions that have been mentioned by the developers and not retracted since then, yet over 12 months have gone by since they were last mentioned.

  • Star Trek Into Darkness' volcano suit[1]
    • Originally intended for launch alongside the EV suit slot, but the slot caused "under-the-hood" technical issues, so the suit ended up being put on hold. It may be released at a later date.
  • Getting more voice acting in the game (for existing and new missions); DStahl & Al Rivera specifically mentioned the following Star Trek actors:[2][3]
  • Revamp of remaining un-revamped episodes.[4][5]
  • 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.[4]

Revamp of PvP system[ | ]

PvP is not a priority in STO, but small-scale updates will happen here and there.[6][5][7][8][9][10]

  • Triple HP/Shield buff on PvP maps to prevent "sudden death" scenarios.[5]
  • Either replacing current PvP maps or revamping them.[11]
    • Transferring existing PvE maps (Facility 4028 among others) to ground PvP maps, possibly with capture-the-flag mod.[12][13]
    • "King of the Hill" PvP map for space and/or ground.[13][14]
    • Ground combat may have Battleground-style development in the long term.[15]
  • Old ideas: Rewards based on participation more than completion,[16] PvP ratings/leaderboard tech is now available [15][17][18][19]

Other[ | ]

    • Likely including re-release of the Tuffli Freighter.
