More Voyager and DS9 material?
When are they going to stop rehashing and move onto more original stories with original (not tos) characters? Honestly, why does almost everything in this game have to relate to DS9 and/or Voyager?

I did ask them about how their content is made. Part of their content is tied into the canon storylines and material from the show. To continue it on as it were, while still creating their own content and having creative freedom. They're not trying to rehash anything, instead they are tieing up lose ends, which allows them to tell a story and then create their own content.

"Player polls have been taken, asking what other races they’d like to play. Ricossa said that the three most popular races were the Borg, Cardassian, and the Dominion. Ricossa said that there is a possibility that other races could be added to Star Trek Online in the future at some point."
There is a huge difference between a "race" and a "faction". You can play a Klingon and be a member of the Federation faction. Likewise, you can play a Borg and be a member of any faction. If you are talking about a faction, please say a faction, because calling something a "race" leads to misunderstanding.

The player poll was about other "races" or "Species" players would like to play as. We didn't get into any other details as to if these would be a seperate faction, or part of a current faction. Simply that players had expressed interested in playing as a Borg, Cardassian, or as part of the Dominion. While there is the possibility of them becoming a faction, the question and poll was specifically directed at "race".
Sorry for any confusion.

Oh, no need to apologize; the confusion is not on your end, it is on Cryptic's. My point was that they need to use the specific language that is talking about whatever it is they mean, and not giving people a wrong impression. If they are just asking what "race" people wanted to play, then make that clear. If they are asking what "faction" people want to play, make that clear. Because the answer to those 2 issues might be completely different, depending on which meaning people are responding to.

Well I wanted to clarify that this was a race not faction question. It was great talkign to them and Steve Ricossa was very clear on all of his answers and information. One of the better interviews I've had.

An interesting read.
I think we can narrow down the next big bad guy, to one of two possible bad guys that appeared in Enterprise. That also have access to time travel, since "time travel is out of the bottle, and everyone has access to it".
The Sphere Builders http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Sphere_Builder
or
The Na'kuhl http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Na%27kuhl
So season 11, build up to the start of the Temporal Cold War maybe?

I hope not. Time Travel has been done to death in Star Trek. Then again it wouldn't be surprising since the "mission" of STO seems to be spending another five years of "Tying up loose ends."

I think that is a bit of an unfair assessment Bond. They are building on a universe that already exsisted. From that they have tweaked and created content to continue the story as it were. However that's my personal opinion based off of what I l've seen and heard from my the game and interview respectively.
I would like to invite anyone that has a specific question for the STO team to please PM me with that question and I will work on getting them answered and doing a follow-up article.
