The primary focus for Cryptic is casual player - why do you think we have boxing match PvP as it is? It is something that a casual player can jump into complete their daily and jump out of back into PvE. Even if we get something with territory control there will (at least on the Fed side) be a PvE component to it as well. If we continue to get less and less of the PvE we will continue to have less and less of the casual player population.

All but a handful of players who supported the PvP-centric idea given to us at the 11th hour have left STO because of the state of PvP, but even when they were around we were in a large minority. Go to the main forum "STO Discussions" and see how many players say "I was always waiting for the Klingons to get PvE before playing them". The future of STO is not in PvP players and it never will be, if we are going to continue to exist as a faction we must bring these casual players in, and we will only do this with PvE.

I loved the new weekly missions, but having done them on 3 Feds and 4 Klinks so far I can tell you the Klink side needs a bit of a tweak storywise. We need more, not as much as the Feds, but still more of our own faction stories to draw people in. We need a house system to rival the Fed Diplomatic Corps. We need access to content in Roumlan and Cardassian space. We need at least one more Klingon only sector. These things, and really they are not asking that much comparatively. If the weeklies proved anything it is that PvE rules STO and if we are to have a future we need are own brand of PvE to give us a solid foundation.

I agree - and I, along with many others, ahev posted elsewhere on this notion.
