Hi again Dan! It was nice meeting you on Deep Space 9 in Quark's!!! I have a few questions for your perusal
1: Crew Uniforms? I noticed in your DS9 Q&A that you decided not to put them in this season. Can you tell us why, and if there are plans for it later?
2: Armitage type 6 skin; where has it gone? And will there be other ships that will get it that are not store bought? It is a fresh, clean look for Federation ships!
3: At the end of Nemesis, we never heard anything more about Raiker and the USS Titan unless people read the books for it. Will we get to see any lore about him in the loading screens, or any other insight into his assumed Admiralty?
4: Any plans or thoughts on bringing Captain Benjamin Sisko back from being with the Prophets??
1. The KDF side could do with more numbers, any ideas or plans on how to attract more players to this side?
2. Any firm plans on more cosmetic items for KDF? I liked the EV suit, and finally got the Academy bundle and it really helped bulk up my Ferasan, but would like to see more non-Klingon items appear.
3. If you could go back in time to before STO was released, what do you regret the most and what would you change now with the benefit of hindsight?
Starbases have been a much needed gift to roleplaying in STO; are there plans to add new decks or places to visit? A shuttle bay, cargo bay, brig, mess hall, and crew quarters would be great additions to making starbases even more roleplay-friendly.
Why are the Excalibur / Exeter / Vesper not getting the Fleet Store T5 upgrade treatment like the Nova and Sabre are? Is this an oversight which will be remedied soon?
"You shoot him, I shoot you, I leave both your bodies here and go out for a late night snack.
I'm thinking maybe pancakes." ~ John Casey
Could you tell me why the marketing team choose to make ship modules cost so much zen for a simple extra console slot and extra skin? It seems a little silly and I'll never buy into a one time character unlock of such a small upgrade for so much zen.
Are we going to ever see some major tech upgrades, like the ability for the team to make it feasible for there to be missions that can take place in the interiors of your ship? One of the major things the show and movies often had but is one of the missing elements of STO.
I know due to the variety of bridges and the like we can't have missions on our ships.
However, since a lot of Star Trek episodes took place on ships, will we perhaps see some missions like random SOS from other ships, having to board them and rescue crew etc?
Also I assume custom interiors for ships when they come out will be able to be used in the foundry so we can create missions in ships, as well as assign the custom interior to our ships in the game as well?
1) Will you ever adjust the skill points for characters? I can rank up a character to Vice Admiral before I can complete at least half of the core missions. Also...while using the commendation boost, I still hit Vice Admiral before I even gain a level in the Doff system. Will this ever be balanced?
2) Since the uniforms seen in the TV shows are in game, will we ever get Admiral uniforms that were used in the shows?
Has there been any discussion of adding more Xindi content to the game, such as ships and bridge officers of different Xindi species for the Federation, or a Xindi-related story arc?
The Original Series, Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine have all received a fair amount of attention from the game (and some would say for obvious reasons); however, I think it's time Star Trek Voyager had it's fifteen minutes of fame. Can you tell us when we can expect more Voyager-themed assets (i.e., B'Lana's Engineering Jacket, Captain Proton Uniform, and, more importantly, the much anticipated "bundle" pack).
It would be sort of cool to see aliens from the Delta Quadrant make an appearance or two as well - perhaps through an expansion pack of the Delta Quadrant itself?
1. Will the Klingons also get t5 Zen-Store ships for the fleetsystem? 5x Federation T5 vs 0x Klingon T5 currently.
2. Is a revamp of PvP on the list or was this canceled after Gozer wanted to leave?
3. Will we get a Fleet Attack & Defense PvP or maybe a open PvP?
4. Are we get now more Fleetships with 4 Modul costs released instead of new Z-storeships?
I checked the Foundry on Tribble earlier and saw that, when placing objects, contacts or enemies, we still have to place them on the image of the map which leaves a lot of room for guesswork as to where the items would be. Might there be a chance that, someday, we could actually access the map and, with that, place objects and the like exactly where we want them?
1) Will we be seeing alternate (and easier) ways for Small (Casual) Fleets to get to Tier 5 in their Starbases?
Perhaps allying with a Larger Fleet? Or allowing these small fleets to be stationed on existing Hubs and only need to on research and provisions?
2) Will we be seeing Fleets having personal touches with the new Starbase System or is all decorations via these Limited Time Offers?
2a) And will it always be 200,000 Dilithium or will small fleets get discounts?
2b) Will these Limited Time Offers offer more functionality to make it more worthwhile to spend 200,000 Dilithium?
3) Will we be seeing Need and Greed replaced with Want / Pass system?
4) Will we be seeing Fleet Marks added to STFs?
5) What's going to happen with Nukara? It was a favored spot for doing Fleet Mark grinding, but now nobody really wants to group there. Will we see it return being someplace attractive for people to group? Or will there be an adjustment to make the zone more solo friendly?
6) With Pre-Tier 5 ships ending up as Fleet Ships, could we possibly see a Ship Tier revamp so players can refit their favorite ships as they level up?
7) Any tidbits regarding the 1000 Day Veteran Reward?
Is there any chance we can have a huge ground mission where we can use the st nemesis Argo. Maybe even be able to have friends jump I with you firing turrets.
The idea of starbase is great, but building the base can be really hard and long for a small fleet.
There is nothing bad in a big project that require more than days or weeks or even some months, but some assigment require so many duty officers and dilithium that a small fleet need one year to complete the base... and all of this job is boring (ex. few mission to get fleet marks or we have to wait days to get assigment for new duty officers). Any plan to help our small fleets?
The Fleet Advanced Escort is an improvement of the multivector advanced escort, will we have a "fleet" version of the Advanced Escort?

Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
-I think it would be cool if you make some maps of earth cities like San Francisco itself or New York, because we have the whole planet at our sight but we can only go to the academy.
I would talk about cities on Qo'nos but they alredy have a big one and i don't remember other klingon cities being seen on the series
-Another map i would like to upgrade would be Risa, i've been there and there is nothing to do. As it is "one of the best vacation sites throughout the galaxy" I think it should have things like some missions, a beach bar with tropical music, and you could buy swimsuits like the people on there.
-And for last, I think you cold make the quad cannons a changeable type weapon: before a combat you can change its type to Antiproton, Tetryon, Disruptor, Plasma...
Like this you wouldn't have to create other quad cannons like the disruptor one and players would be happy
1: Why can't we have a fleet or tier 5 Constitution,Exeter,Vesper or Excalibur class?
2: When can we expect a Romulan faction or the other ships you were debating to do (Enterprise J, Ambassador...)?
3: I like to explore the ground maps with my caitian character, i could get to the roofs on Bajor but you've put a limit to jump on there. Why? I don't want you to put a stairway, i just ask you to let me " ...Go where no one has gone before"
PD: If it's about the unfinished graphics up there just fix it a little, I don't mind anyway
Echoing a lot of other people here, when will we finally get the poker mini-game and betting for EC nor GPL or anything else?
Fleet Special projects need to be re-balanced. you yourself said that the majority of fleets are very small, 200k dilithium is too much maybe 100k would be okay. Right now it's hard enough to even get my fleet to consider grinding the dil to even start the special projects.
When are we finally going to get a ship that can be universally used by tac, eng, sci? Romulan warbird c-store ship for example. May people have spent a lot of money on this game, and as we know many can not afford to spend so much so having 1 ship that could be more versatile for different characters is something that is sorely misssing.
Are there any plans to expand on the DoFF system by including your BOFF's in some way, e.g. being able to give them command of one of your other ships and send them on more advanced missions?
When will we get the alternate 700 day veteran androids (female, tactical and science versions)?
Why is there no Fleet Cruiser Retrofit with the Excalibur and Vesper skins but without the Constitution skin?
Why are there no fleet retrofits for the Galaxy-X and Excelsior?

does cryptic really consider $25 a micro transaction?
why don,t the fleet ships that require modules come with the console of its c store predecessor, its not like its cheaper to get? is it so we have to buy the ship twice?

Imo the Gorn ship ACTUALLY looks like its designed by a non-humanoid, which is lovely.
And the Orion ship is beautiful, reminds me of a large Tall Ship-id be interested in that.

And I'd love if the Maco and Omega ground armor would have an armor deployment animation, similar to Iron man's armor. It would be AWESOME!!

I'd really like to know the status of the android boff variants, when can we expect them?
