Please post your questions below and dStahl will answer selected questions from all those received. Please post them today as I will ship questions off to Dan tomorrow afternoon.
Also, remember that questions will not be answered in this thread -- answers will be posted in an upcoming "Ask Cryptic" Web Feature that will be released in the beginning of June.
1. With yet another fed small craft added to the game making it a ratio of 10:3 fed:kdf will we see a KDF small craft soon? There is no shortage of ideas, and the addition of more and more small craft with unique abilities and items to one side has an effect on balance.
2. How will fleets pay for and support their fleet bases? Will it be balanced so that fleets that are small, or fleets that are comprised of people who can only play for certain periods of time are not held at a disadvantage to larger fleets with people constantly on and active?
3. Will there be any new visual sets like the STF gear we can look forward to? Like a set for the shield we got in Alpha, or visuals for the Jem'hadar set?
Is there any way the galaxy map can open up, and make that real time? Where the fleets can really have a stake in what's happening, and you can actually fight for key sectors. Everything else stays the same, and then the KDF or the Romulans or the Borg can attack Earth or whatever.
1: Account-wide Bank Slots were supposed to be introduced this month. Where are they? What is the status of that project?
2: Is it possible that we'll ever be able to assign our Bridge officers to command our alternate ships as AI Space allies? For instance, I and my main BO squad are in my Odyssey, and then I have the officers I don't use as much in, say, my old Escort that I don't fly.
3: Are you still planning the Tholian FE? Have you considered what FE you might do next? What are you considering?
4: There are some great content suggestions here on the forums (Suricata's Ship Tier Revamp, to name one). How often do you read them, and if you read them, how many do you consider implementing?
5: I saw a tweet by Geko yesterday that said that he'd finished work on three new player ships, but didn't say what they were (of course). Can we get a tease for at least ONE of the new ships?
Any new info on what new mission content will be coming our way in the next 6 months-1 year?
This is what I want to hear about most. I'm worn out on new shinys and costumes.
When we get get new, non-time gated, non madatory 5 man, KDF faction playable MISSIONs.
That and I'd really like to know details on what's gonna be required to obtain/construct Starbases.
Is there any future plans for more sectors, particularly in the Alpha Quadrant? I mean technically Memory Alpha should be in the Alpha Quadrant, as well as Sauria, The entire Ferengi Alliance, Denobula, Tellar, Vega Colony, Xindus, Mizar and Terra Nova. In Fact, the majority of the Federation (roughly 60%) is is the Alpha Quadrant, Yet the game itself is about 80+% Beta Quadrant.
Who is the target audience of STOs continued development; long term players who will make STO their game oh choice for years or short term players who will play for a few months and move on?
1.) Will we ever be abel to customize our special Boff's in the future becuase if i have a Reman, a Jem'Hadar and a Breen on my ship i would like to put them in Starfleet uniforms.
2.) What are the plans for Season 7?
3.) PWE said Cryptic Studios is their R&D, what does that mean for us the players?
4.) You said one time we will be able to build a Sovereign +1 on our Fleet Starbase what ship will it be on the KDF side maybe a Negh'var +1?
5.) What features won't make it into Season 6?
6.) What is your plan to bring contant into the game from now to the end of the year?
Are there still plans to bring crafting, a working shuttle bay, and new mini games to ship interiors and if so when? Are there plans to make ship interiors customizable?

Will we see more content involving the Udine afterall i thought the whole background of STO was about the Udine infiltration after reading the novel Star Trek Online The Needs of the Many and reading about the game back during beta.
What happened to the extra Android BOff options? We were informed that we'd not only get male and female Androids to choose from, but that we'd also have Tactical and Science branch officers to choose from, too. It has been quite some time since anything conclusive has been mentioned, and it makes us veteran players who would like to claim a specific style of Android BOff antsy that we've had to wait for so long.
What is the status for the missing costumes required to enable the other (non-Male Engineering) variants of the 700-day Android veteran reward we've been waiting for all year?
Also, we never got an update as to the status of the variousfactioncommbadges we were previewed last May. What happened to them?
When will there be a continuation of the Iconian storyline, I'm dying to know more about them, any current or future plans for this, if so, how far off in an estimate?
1. When is the focus of this game going to move to new story content and open exploration?
2. Here's an idea, devote 2 seasons entirely on the KDF. C-store, story missions new ships, new costume assets etc. And then after that and the KDF is brought up to par with the Federation then make the ROMULAN faction and devote 2 seasons to developing them PLEASE! What are your thoughts on this?
How will the account wide bank work for transferring bridge officers and bound bridge officers between Captains on thr same account for transfer or training? If possible discuss which items will not be traded with in the same account bank.
When will we be able to select the number of boffs, more than 5 boffs, and bring them down with us no mater the mission we are on?
When will we be able to bring our full away team and also team with up to 5 Captains?
When will we be able to bring our away team with us on Fleet Actions, Stfs, pvp groun
When will all tier 5 ships for both factions have 5 universal Commander bridge officer slots and 1
Captain bridge officer slot (this is long overdue) ?
When will we see all ships have all universal bridge officers slots to truly let the player
Customize our playing style?
When can we get some input as to the new uniforms we want in game?
We need more foundry versatility. Why not releasing something closer to what the current mission builders use ? We could make custom interiors, ground maps. Do you fear that players could do a better job than your team ?

Question 3: FPS styled PVP Ground Maps? (aka Star Trek Voyager Elite Force)
Also, we never got an update as to the status of the various faction comm badges we were previewed last May. What happened to them?
2. Players don't really get rewards for playing some of the best story missions in the game (via the Foundry). Will this ever change?
Agreed. It doesnt even have to be the best ones; players should be able to add rewards to their foundry missions.
