STO Guidelines

Unlike some people, I enjoy ground pvp as much as space. Yea it’s buggy some but I’ve had some great matches (rallying back on Ghost Ship when it was 37/12 to win was nice). But..it needs work. Some small changes would make the game insane better for ground pvp

Auto Teaming – This would be nice, just to get this organized, plus it would help see what buffs allies have or what debuffs. As it is now, its a cluster#$!@ of people running around unteamed.

Chat Channels For Each Side – kind of hard to discuss strategy if you aren’t teamed (which coincides with the above..) since local chat is seen by everyone. It would be soooooo much more awesome if you could just go /federation hey guys, lets meet up in the corner.

Hold Immunity After Being Held – this prevents 100% hold locks. Yea usually it ends quickly as you get exposed then vapored but some times you wander into that one single player, who just keeps you held for 2+ minutes straight while they wittle away your life (science officers mainly from what i’ve seen). In other games, an X amount of seconds for immunity after being held makes it a fair fight, otherwise you are just stuck there unable to move or defend yourself at all costs.

Random Respawns, Always – I’m not sure if the game is programmed for this or not but sometimes when you respawn, your character will just literally stand up (not being rezzed by an ally either). Which makes it too simple for your killer to just stand there and wait. I love griefers, I used to do it myself in other mmos but at this point there’s not a lot to be done.

Dis-allow Fighting Until Teams Are Even – This is more of a queue issue but, why can I queue up for a ground pvp session, get into it and I’m the only Fed or Klingon there? Yea I know, theres not many of either side vice versa playing at that time but the game should lock out combat or the queue itself until enough people are there to play it. 5vs1 is impossible, obviously.

I think with at least some of these changes, ground pvp could be awesome.
