STO: Famous Locales

There has recently been a post from Zinc on the STO forums

I'm pretty sure making STO without DS9 would be like making STO without tribbles.

I know, for a fact, that both are in there. : )

Which got me on to thinking about other famous Star Trek locales that I would definitely like to see in the game at launch.

Utopia Planitia:
We've been told about this place so many times but we never actually get to see it! STO can finally make it happen.

Spacedock:
I remember when I was a kid watching the Search for Spock, seeing the Enterprise docking at Spacedock and seeing the people look out the big window at it all happening. I want to be able to see that in STO. Watch player ships dock and undock (even if its NPC scripted events)

Deep Space Nine:
Being able to walk on the promenade and visit Quark's bar is pretty much all I want to do on DS9

Risa:
I think it's obvious why everyone would want to go here ;)

Starfleet Headquarters:
Starfleet Headquarters has been shown a fair few times on TV and even in one or two of the Star Trek games, Since Starfleet HQ on Earth is pretty much going to be the Federations capital in the game, they had better make it full of stuff to do :)

Qo'noS:
Same as Starfleet Headquarters, needs to be epic if its the capital of the Empire.

Ferenginar:
All MMO's have their trader towns where you can pick up the best items or sell at best price. Ferenginar would be Star Treks version of this. I can just imagine all the shopping opportunities :P

Destroyed Romulas:
I'd like to see this both from space and being able to land on fragments of the planet. There have been screenshots of Romulan Warbirds around broken planets on the STO website which would indicate that's where they were. Here's hoping!

Briar Patch:
The Briar patch and most importantly the Ba'ku homeworld could make for interesting ground play since it is a lesser developed world, anyone wishing to get their fantasy gaming on, this would be the planet to go to.

Badlands:
The Badlands have always been associated with the Maquis and smuggling. I could see the Badlands as being a PvP contested area with Maquis wreckage to be claimed for either side. This could also be interesting for DS9 where technically it could become a contested area which switches allegiances depending on public quests.

Those are the first places that come into my mind when thinking of star trek locations and I'm sure there is a hundred others that I've completely forgotten about.

Leave a comment below about which place you'd like to see the most.
