    1) Are the Tholians being add to the foundry?

    2) Now we have the Morn model, is there plans to allow us to make a Lurian character?

    3) (The most asked question in the history of the game) Is there a realistic chance of a Romulan faction in 2013, either as a mini faction or some other form.

    when is the Ambassador class coming?
    When will we get duel torpedo launchers?

    Will the Devs consider implementing a status window for Hanger pets, so during manic fights we can keep track of how many are alive and what their health is at?

    When there are multiple carriers in a match all launching fighters I find it hard to keep track of my pets.

    Just read Dev Blog #8 and while it was a entertaining read I found it left me with questions.

    As I posted there...

    Was that write up just to introduce the Tholians?

    Was the, (player predicted demise), of new mission content a hopeless exaggeration?

    If there is new mission content will it be agnostic or will Cryptic go the extra mile and make the KDF versions have a more genuine KDF feel?

    How long will it be before this comes to the game?

    Will this be a one time deal or will you give us excuses to tune in, "same bat-time same bat-channel?"

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    When will our characters become visible in our PW Core profiles?

    What can we look forward to, in terms of STO integration with Core Connect? Will we see Achievements in STO? STO Items in the Token store? What kind of timeframe can we expect to see some of this?

    Question: Will benzite bridge officers ever be added to the game for Federation players, or as the tier IV marauder reward for Klingon Defense Force members?
    Thank you for your time.

    Is there any thoughts or plans to release through the C-store more ship interior bundles like the Belfast? or possibly new ship interior variants that would mesh with the existing Bridge packs?


    Will scalable weapons, such as the Quad Phaser and Disruptor Cannons, or the Spiral Wave Disruptor be adjusted to be able to reach Mk XII equivalent for Vice Admirals?


    Has there been any consideration given to have the function of being able to save and then load preset DOFF and BOFF set ups for when we desire to switch ships or configurations on our current ship? Or perhaps being able to assign DOFFs and BOFFs to specific ships in our inventory?


    Are there any plans to potentially have Red Alerts and the Defari Ground invasions offer EDCs or Tech that can be traded into the STF store?


    Fleet Actions: is there consideration into making these into full STF content, complete with special rewards? Or what is the current progress of thinking on revamping these?

    When we will become more than 4 forward weapon slots ? :)
    or
    When we will become an x-tra slot only for torpedos ;)

    Is there a chance to equip more than one quad phaser on a escort? :D

    As we see more detail come within the game and with the new starbases will the fleet starbases display the Fleet Emblem on that fleet on the floor? (This wide open area is seen right after beam-in.

    The next area is the players who are in fleets who have a Federation Emblem just forward of the Captains Chair. Would there be some plans on the Odyssey Bridge to perhaps incorperate a Federation Emblem along side that of the Fleet Emblem?

    It is not unusal to see the emblem of a military unit displayed somewhere on the vessel or base.

    Minor quibble here, but being EX-United States Navy; I have a quirk for noticing navigational lights that are well out of place or not the correct color.

    On the Odyssey, on the portside just forward of the port nacell is a blinky GREEN light. The forward light of that is a blinky red as it should be as well as the blinky red light on the forward area of the nacell.

    Can the designers do a review of the ships at some point and add or fix the Navigation lights and adjust or add the position of the white "flight" strobes. The Armatiage class needs tweaking on the whites.

    Dear Ask Cryptic!

    just two :P

    1). In future Seasons, will there be an expension of more places to visit! a new sector maybe? plus Starbase 157 is on the Eta sector map but the name above its asteroid position is not visible when flying about, any other places? Mars? Jupiter Station? "Ignoring Fleetbases <- which I'm happy about"

    2). more uniforms, I'm completely aware there are a fair ammount of uniforms, but that said there hasn't been anymore! I'm a tailor addict I like clothes and making new outfits, !i I'm Running Out Of Ideas !i!i!

    RachelJ88

    P.S. I used to play Sims 2 and reskinned outfits for my Sims :P, is there anyway that there could be a release of texture maps so that the community of players could skin there idea for Star Trek Uniforms for maybe a competition to have the winning design included? (I will post this into the Art Of Star Trek Online tab).

    1) Romulans: when?

    2) Dilithium:

    2.1) With nothing to spend Dilithium on, except Ferras Doffs and the Fed Fighterpets iam getting drown in Dilithium. Please can you give me something to spend it on?

    2.2) Wasn't Dilitium meant to be "the Currency" to end all currencies. So why do we have the EDC, Rem Data Logs...?

    3) Quad Cannons: one is not enough when will we be able to craft/buy more? (see 2.1.)

    4) Dailies: Any Reasons why "Explore Strange new World" and Chart B'Tran Cluster have Cooldown of 24 Hours instead of 20 like all other dailies?

    1. Will Fleet Star base ships be upgrades to the ships that we currently have, or will they be new ships that you add to your ship list?

    a. If there upgrades to the ship we have will it be a single upgrade or a upgrade over time (T2 ship upgrades to T3, then you later upgrade it to T4 and so on.)?

    2. Will we ever be able to play historical missions on the holo-deck? Like playing as one of the captains at Wolf 359, or Kirk tracking down the Romulan ship in ?Balance of Terror?. Play Riker or Shelby when trying to rescue Jean-Luc Picard from the borg cube, or The Doctor and retake the Prometheus. Of course this would be our character playing the part.

    3. Are there any single player missions for fleet merits that you and your Boffs can run, or are they all like STFs?

    4. Fleet leaders get to decide which projects to run on the starbase, this is fine. However is there some system for the fleet leaders to see what everyone else in the fleet would like to work on? Or, will this have to be done over chat or on the fleet website?

    5. Any idea when we can see a list of Star base made ships.

    Just a few questions:

    1.) Will there be any update to the mail system in STO? Like giving fleets the option to email a specific fleet rank, longer messages for welcome mail and fleet policies, sending one mail to multiple recipients, and more fleet wide mail messages.

    2.) Will we see any additional casual costumes? Will the KDF side get any new costumes? And can we get more sleeveless options for uniforms other than the TOS Mirror Universe uniforms. (The TOS Mirror Universe tops still have a slight clipping issue on shorter characters by the way.)

    3.) Are there any plans to modify or expand the hull pattern color pallet? Such as brighter colors, more colors, and maybe a few more hull patterns.

    4.) And will we ever get the option to make more Liberated Borg characters out of any of the current species in game? Like a liberated Trill Borg, or Caitian, Orion, and I must say a Liberated Gorn Borg would look rather impressive.


    Thanks for your time.

    Will there be an update for crafting that will allow us to create higher Mk items and a new Set for ground and space anytime soon?

    When can we expect the First Officer system to be fully implemented?

    Ash nazg durbatul?k? *Cough* Sorry habit. One map to rule them all?

    Are there any plans to have something for solo players to do when the fleet bases come out? Such as an independent contractor to help out fleets without actually joining them?

    Just a few questions

    1. When will account banks more than 10 slots be available for gold members and when can silver players buy them

    2. Are any more KDF ships going to become availble soon as I don't to buy a ship only for a better one to come out a month or so later

    3. Will you be releasing ships from the movies I.e I you have the BOP from Star Trek VI The undiscovered country.
    So what about more ships or even for those first contact fans maybe a playable version of the Phoenix so we can recreate the first flight

    We had heard about the possibility of a re-trait/re-species token in future. I just become a lifer after playing 16 months and I'd rather turn my main character into a Liberated Borg than start a whole new character - is that still on the table?

    When will we get some features to train our commissioned boffs between captains on our account (including bound boffs)? ( a feature account banking should of contained=another missed opportunity for greatness.)

    When will the terror and torture end of this pwe forced relocation and integration that no one wants,
    But never the less get forced down our throats (similar to the forced location like in insurrection) with a
    total down grade in functionality, customization (cryptic's brand) and substandard forums in which the majority of us hate?

    When can we see more major updates to the Foundry? And I am talking primarily about map design. Can we expect a 3D element instead of the slightly inconvenient top-down view?

    Are you going to fix the Cure Space bug that drags people in the queue into a game that is over?, its been going on for quite a while now

    Basicly at the end of Cure Space there can be upto a 5 minute wait for the exit box to come up, when people get annoyed and leave it drags queued people who are waiting to start into a game that has allready ended with no rewards ect and have to wait another hour to play it.

    The consumable food and drink items have not been touched since the game's inception. We still get little soda cans and candy bars when using them. Any plans on updating? Hardly a pressing issue I know but it piques my curiosity.

    Are you going to fix the Glitch in Cure when after facing Armek and you missed killing one Borg that you have to search around for it because after killing it we just managed to get the items before time ran out after running from one end of the map to the other. It would be easier for your rewards to go straight to your into your inventory

    With the "red alert" tech that is now available, has there been any thought to use that tech for the old patrol missions? So instead of flying up beside a random planet and getting a patrol mission, one might pop up as a RA? I've always liked the idea of being randomly assigned to do something- it seems very Trek :)
