Though i'm usally thrilled to see what new content will be introduced in the future of SS, i am a bit dissapointed about this one.
Yes, it was something that a lot of players liked in the game, but my problem is, only a limited amount of players got to, and could/can participate in it.
What i would like to see in the near or even distant future is more content that doesn't jest require a team or two to complete, but something that the whole population is informed about and can participate in with equal rewards. On no means am i saying there is somthing wrong with the current "out dps and heal more then the AI can" system because although it doesn't seem very exciting from a third person perspective, it is quite on the contrary due to the incentive of why we players do it - and even that reason differs from player to player; heck If i remember correctly, what made going to a t22 boss fun for me was the fact that you had to fight through these hords of AI while on the journy AND still had to fight a t22 boss! However lately, After you get out of the nexus, no, after you get out of the space cadet training galaxy (haven't seen the pirate side yet), everything seem to look very two dimensional.
This is probably not the best place to go on a rant so i'll make it quick,
is there any chance you could create more community based ubers?
I don't mean like ubers that can be beat at level t0-t19... well certainly not with like 20 or 40 of players in t0 or t19 gear, however there actions would not be in vain if they participate.
In the means of requiring a certain amount of players in general, only can these bossed be attemped (a dps requirement in order to start). These bosses would still keep the same out dps and hps system that has been tradition within star sonata, but also add on a third dimention that would require the participation of all players; not jest a set standard that will garentee to work if it is in place.
what if, and it's jest an example, not a suggestion by any means, while a set squad went to kill zeus, a random player is garenteed to die, no matter what that player did, with no means of telling who it would be every 2 minutes?
interesting right? well... maybe to a few.
As i said above, this uber should encorage community play, not jest a top-teams privilege. sure it would require a team or two to complete, but the point is, it should be something everyone can participate in as a community and as a participant, you and your fellow participants would be rewarded for it. As for adding a third dimention to the current system, why not make success based on the partipation and communication of whoever is there instead of a "ok we got a sniper, a ShM, a engineer, a zerker, a FC, we can out dps and heal, so now everyone hold spacebar and go AFK untill it's dead" type of deal. make the boss shoot the death-touch superwep that rotates on axis while still ingaging players.
have it spawn germ AI that if hit by one, your ship goes supercrazy for a few seconds.
have it lay healing drones. have certain requirements that must be met in order to move further.
make it worth the time that everyone puts in to complete it, and make it ingaging.
I think that's enough from me for a while, expecally since i have no knowledge on how hard, how much time would be spent in order to crate a script like that, or how much it would cost inorder to do something like that, and i'm in no position to even guess and say "it's possible, do it NOW." for all I know a better idea may be comming soon so don't worry.
If you want more examples on what i'm suggesting, play the f2p game called defiance. It recently expanded to psn and xbox live online server in the US and UK, and i play Defiance for the sole reason i suggested above.

but I do agree they need to have chances to drop t22 loot instead of t20
