Hello.
I just felt the need to point out the EXTREMELY AGGREVATING fact that ships not belonging to the Federation (Like the Caitian Atrox or D'Kora marauder) have Federation Registries and Prefixes. It annoyes me to heck whenever i see a guy with a D'Kora named the 'USS Shipname, NCC-233123131321312323-ADKNSFN' and so on. It should be BASED ON RACE- Like the Gorn for the Klinks having the GHV- Prefix, or the Orions and Ferengi having Piratey-like names, like the
Profit or
Brigand's Bounty. I don't know about everyone else, but if this was Z-Store material, I'd pay for it. (IMHO), Immersion is a HUGE Factor in ANY MMO, especially a one based in Star Trek. You want your ships to be Unique and Creative, each with it's own individuality, like with the
Enterprise or the
Defiant fron ST Canon. I find too often my ships, espceially the unique ones, only used for the Special Consoles and then thrown away afterwords and things too quickly falling into Monotony. If you are a KDF Player, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
This also ties into the fact of Non-customizable Ship Crew or Interior, but i'm sure there are plenty of threads for the Devs already for this. Any comments are appriciated.
And cryptic, don't get me wrong, I understand the huge cost and time-consumption of an MMO in dev, but I think at least you can address some of these Minor issues that really detract from the game experience.
In short...
CRYPTIC, I AM DISSAPOINT.
Thankz youz. Any comments welcome

It doesn't matter if it's a catboat, tholian web-shooter, bug or a Gekli with a captain's chair stapled to its back (next C-store ship please!), if it's used by the faction, it gets that faction's registry.
It's even lore-supported, since the Caitians made the Atrox design available to the Feds, who then jazzed it up with magic science powers. It's a catboat, but a STARFLEET catboat.
Uh, if you want your ships to be so unique, maybe you should, well, stop using them only for the special consoles and throwing them away afterwards? Just a suggestion.
definitely...
The possible prefixes could be locked based upon ship type.

like choosing between USS and ISS for mirror ships.
Who says you have to dump the U? Let us use whatever prefix we want for our ships... im in favour of scratching off part of the U to make a I.
I use the NX instaed of the NCC due all my ships never go with a default or Atrox being a Unique Ship. So theres the diference! But Following Naval rules Cryptic has it correct!
I however would like everyone to have the option of just using S.S. so that we can rp as a privateer or something.
My Atrox is manned by non-Caitians. It is owned by the Federation and being flown in its service. It is supposed to have a Federation prefix. Even if that were not the case, the Caitians are, as someone else pointed out, part of the Federation. Suggesting that a Federation ship being flown by Federation citizens shouldn't have a Federation prefix is not really supportable.
Also the KDF passed a law that all ships serving the KDF or as Vassals* of the KDF require the IKS prefix.
Yes Vassals not Vessels. Look it up Joe!
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Sure its not Wessels?
Like, you could have the whole standard USS or IKS prefix, or buy privelidges to let you change the prefix to something else, like ICC (Or ISS) or GHV- for Gorn ships.
HINT HINT DEVS.
Also, I don't just use the special ships for the consoles. i try as hard as I can to keep using them, but for most players, compared to better ships that they may prefer (Such as using a VA-Level ship at VA Level rather than a Lt. Level Ship at VA Level), it becomes unviable for most players.
