I hope in the near future we can use our buyed Ships in a Team for Episodes. Like the Away Team.
Not like the Carrier Pets oder Jem’Hadar Escort Pets.
We wish to equip them, like our Ships, and take them with us.
Oh, that's a brilliant idea! Having a ship away team on space missions would make it easier for players to complete it. I'll forward your suggestion for their review. I also encourage you to post your idea on the official game forums below so you can discuss them with other members of the community.
And the personal Traits, based on Teams, may be more usefull with Ship Away Teams.
I'll definitely add that and pass it to the appropriate team that has control of the game design. If you have any other concerns or queries, please let me know and I'd gladly assist you with it.
I (and i think most of the other players) use my ships as bank for Equipment or different builds/setups.
If we can use ship away teams, so the items and sets from episodes and reputations will be good used.
L40 Rear Admiral Lower Half = 1 ship on team
L45 Rear Admiral Upper Half = 2 ships on team
L50 Vice Admiral = 3 ships on team
L55 Admiral = 4 ships on team
L60 Fleet Admiral = captain abilty “Fleet Support” will be modified. Now one of our own (equipped) ships will warp in or one of our fleet members or friends.
We appreciate the clarification about your feedback and suggestion. We highly appreciate your enthusiasm with providing us such detailed feedback that may help improve the game. Rest assured as we will forward your concern to the developers so they can review if there is a possibility to consider this change in the future.
One more Thing for the ship away Team: Is it possibly to get a 5th Bridge Officer as Captain?
He/She should be have an universal seat (5 traits) which can use every specialization at once, but no regular Traits (Sci, Tac, Eng).
Every ship with its own Equipment and Bridge Officers. A Dream.
All of your suggestions and feedback will be passed to the developers for review. I do hope that they will consider them and include them in the future game updates.

But yeah, old news anyway.
My character Tsin'xing
Most of them can easily be won alone, the only thing one even needs other players for is getting the thing to start in the first place. I for one would gladly do away with the waiting to run them alone, with or without AI teammates.
Anything about actually seeing/using the ships as your own mini-squadron has been beaten to death as an idea.
The idea was never, that the Ship Away Teams can be used for TFOs, only for Episodes.
You have more Boffs, that a Player need, so you can use them for other Ships.
Could you please clarify what you're meaning there?
The Boffs you use in your ship while in space maps can be the same boffs you use in your away team, they don't have to be but they also can be.
That said people's critizism seems less about the amount of boff and more "what would this add to the game to justify the dev time" adding stuff to the game will take resources that could be better used elsewhere and a thing like this wouldn't be a simple thing to add, so it would take a lot development time and money to impliment.
They would not have access to the rest. It would basically be permanent fleet support, with your boffs being the sounds for the other ships with some set powers as extra skills at best.
So I must ask again, what would this add to the game to justify the development cost?
Have to agree because the first complaint to hit the boards would be about how ineffective the AI is.
yeah the NPC AI in STO is rather simplistic, it's not really an issue 99% of the time though.
We all have these "pie in the sky" wishes we'd want to be added to STO, but one should think if the suggestion is viable before suggesting it.

If you use the same in space and on ground, it's not a problem. You couldn't play space and ground at the same time.
But you can't use the same bridge officers at the same time, at multiple ships in the same space.
There was NEVER the idea, that you can ship away teams take with you in TFOs.
Ship away teams are ONLY for Episodes (like Elite difficulty).
That's not correctly. Ground away teams can use the set item clickables. Also they share skills, doffs, traits, etc.. And the space version of it, should do it too.
Cryptic said, that PvP was never a big part of STO. So it's not supported. It only was implemented, for a very little part of the community. It's useless to ask for a revamp.
Simply it's a modified ground away team system.
As you say, the AI is not good, but it could be revamped, as baddmoonrizin hinted.
But my bridge officers are doing well. They're not really stupid.
I'll replay episodes every day. Most time of it, with other players.
Episodes do more fun then TFOs.
That's not correct. My Boffs can use the clickables.
I don't think so. And most of my friends and fleet mates, too.
It would be a reason to acquire additional ships, gear to equip them, boffs to crew them and slots to keep it all in (a 5-ship fleet would take 25 boff slots, 29 if you also need one extra to be the captain). Meaning sales.
I do have to agree that making them episode-only would spoil much of the fun, since you couldn't show your fleet to other players. Again, a condition shared with the ground away teams, though at least those you can show some in adventure zones.
And with or without boffships, I think people should be allowed to start (private) queues alone or with a short team if they want.
I'm admiral and i can command ... nothing.
The admiralty system is not the same, as commanding real ships. Right?
Point.
It sells.
It sells a lot.
Because almost everyone has more then one character.
Sure. To show a fleet is a good idea.
And i'm using my ships as a bank, because my characters bank and inventory are full.
Should be possible.
