    Any chance there could be an expansion on thr recruitment of Doffs? I would love it we could go to other locations to recruit. Go to Bajor and recruit Bajoran Doffs, go to Sierra Starbase to recruit Alpha Centauri, Rigellian, or non aligned races ( Reman, Romulan defectors). Perhaps even go to Defera and recruit some Deferi.

    Currently the KDF has an alternate means of earning 'Gold Pressed Latinum' (e.g. Tribble Bounty) with no functional equivalent on the Federation side. Would it be possible to add a 'Tribble Bounty' assignment on the Federation side? (e.g. a bounty on 'Cannibal Tribbles')

    A while ago there was mention of a first officer system, specifically seeing Captain powers from another career being used in addition to our regular powers. Since we've heard nothing on the system since, any chance of an update?

    1: will the ability to get fleet marks from doing story missions with people from your fleet?

    2:What is the ship Veterans get at 1000 days

    3: Will fleets be allowed to customise their SB's interiors (TOS style, TNG etc...) in the near future.

    Greetings Cryptic,

    My question is very simple to answer. I've heard that a TNG bundle pack may become a reality. If so, do you know what you might add in with it? Weather you may use the next gen Galaxy bridge from the shows, or the one they used in Generations?

    Also, I think it would be a good way off adding the "dust-buster" and "cobra" head phasers to the the game too.

    Ever since I saw the TOS interior, and then recently the Belfast interior (Defiant), I soooo cant wait to walk to engineering and take a look round the MSD's of the Galaxy class.

    Finally...Is there at least a rough time scale we could expect to see this interior set added in game?

    Many Thanks

    Ash

    Why ? Feds want useless latinum too ? Besides, feds LOVE tribbles-they're like little kittens.

    The 1000 Day veteran reward for Champions included a refinement limit increase from 8000 to 16000 of their dilithium counterpart, i hope the same thing will happen to STO?


    ********

    When will we be able to move the Elite STF drops through the Account Bank to the Characters that we want to use the item on?

    Any possible exploit can be prevented by only making the "REQUISITIONS" account wide (not the item itself [you could unlock the accolade for the costume that way], not the EDC/Salvage/Tech token [players can turn those in for dilithium, and could circumvent the 8000 / day limit].

    If there are any other issues, then pls explain in detail what it is.

    //

    i rly would like to not have to alt+tab to this thing anymore after every STF: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/r040dkt7/stf.jpg

    btw. good job on the Elite Phaser Rifle Art Assets....
    but when will we get the real deal? -> TNG Movie Rifles Replicas! MAKE IT SO!

    Currently, Fleets have no in-game means of recording their own knowledgebase or conversational library. Having to explain verbally to every new player what has come before (fleet rules, current updates like news and polls or fleet mechanics discussions) can be tiring and fleet owners like me basically save notepad files to copy-paste common things to people. Has there been any consideration for allowing fleets to utilize or earn a sort of Trek-themed messageboard or BBS for member convo and records?

    Will we ever be able to customize the stations that our BOFFs are at when we visit our bridge?? For example will I ever be able to always have the BOFF I have as a first officer in the correct chair or can I place my chief medical officer in sick bay or my chief engineer in main engineering??

    Are the KDF actually going to get anything new and shiny, most of the recent releases have been Fed this, Fed that, getting boring now.

    This was already answered by Al - who "claims" that the KDF will get new ships - just that the next several ships - ie well into 2013 will all be Fed - with the exception of a possible 1000 vet award

    Bring on the VESTA - it's aready in the foundry(as a error - expect it to be gone now) and Dan said it 100% guaranteed as a Fed ship - hoping in a few weeks


    Good Job Cryptic Keep those Fed ships rolling semi-monthly off the line!!! yeah!!

    With the advent of the new Fleet Shields, Engines and Deflectors will there be a costume unlock for the Maco, Honor Guard, Omega ship set such as we have for the Ground Set? I love the Honor Guard look on my ship.. it would be a shame to lose it.

    When will the KDF get more costumes either Uniforms or Casual...? I would pay to have access to the costumes that Orion's and Gorn's have in game already... anything to add a little bit more choice.

    Would it be possible to have a science ship put into the fleet shipyards...? I know the Gorn ships might not be the best looking but a Fleet Varanus would be awesome!

    A big thank you to all the Cryptic team for the great work you do!

    This is a question about Updating BOFF Training in the future, specifically the Liberated Borg BOFF...

    My Science captain is often frustrated with BOFF training, for example, he would like to have the Liberated Borg Engineer (he received when buying the STO game) trained in Emergency Power to Shields 3.

    However, he can't train that skill. He can't trade the bridge officer to another player, as it can't be traded. He can't get that skill from a vendor/ESD trainer as they don't sell skills that can be taught by characters. He can't buy a BOFF on the exchange that has it, as BOFFs on the exchange (candidates) don't have EPTS3 as it can be trained by players.

    I know this isn't a new problem, and has been around for some time, but it does come up again and again. I even put in a ticket to see if they could just change the skill on my officer, and was told that was not something they could do.

    I doubt the intention was that only Engineer players would be able to make full use of the Liberated Borg Bridge officer, and the other untradable bridge officers like her. (Most of these characters are a 'special' bonus to those who have them. Seems odd to limit their use.)

    Are there any future plans to update officer training in STO?

    Bridge officers trained by PADD?
    (Perhaps a crafting recipe for Datapads that one could use to "upload" a certain BO skill you can teach to Boff. And then trade it or put it on the exchange.)
    Trade Window have a special slot for training, so the Boff could be trained without leaving your control?
    Perhaps allow Bridge Officers to be placed in the account bank and trained by other characters on the same account?
    (I'd be happy with a vendor that we could spend dilithium on to train the bridge officers who are 'untradeable.')

    Thank you, hopefully this is not 'Working as Intended'. ; )

    Chris

    Maybe someone already said that...
    Why don't make a starbase limited time project like "Interior design 2" which upgrades a little the design of the engineering, science and tactical levels? Just to make it more similar to the (beautiful) main level?

    I have a few questions:


    1) Will we be seeing new effects into the game? Perhaps new explosion effects, shield effects, new weapon textures or so?

    2) The DS9 Promenade feels a bit empty.. Can't you devs prop some bajorans or other aliens into it so it feels more "joyful". I have the feeling if I'm walking down the promenade that everyone is gone or a sleep..

    3) Are there plans to place Odo's security office / Garak's tailor shop and Bashir's medical sickbay in the DS9 Promenade?

    These are some small stuff but I think they can boost up the game even more! Thanks ;)

    When are the improvements to crafting coming for those of us that are solo players and refuse to join a fleet? We shouldn't be given the "talk to the hand" treatment because we don't like a certain aspect of the game.

    When can we get a ship's doctor to fix Player and BOFF injuries in the sickbay?

    After all our ship is able to be repaired in space as long as you have the components in inventory. Our ships has sickbays and a "doctor" that is a source of DOFF assignments.

    Let's make the Doctor be able to fix injuries. Take the functions that the starbase NPC Doctors have and apply it to the Doctor in our sickbays, should be pretty easy.

    Thanks!

    My question is whether there will be an in-game explanation for what happened to the Enterprise-E? The Path to 2409 leaves things open-ended, with it investigating Starbase 236, but we've heard nothing about it being destroyed as far as I know.

    I havent asked a question in sometime so here goes my question to you....

    Are there plans to allow BOF's to be able to display maco/omega and honor guard sets? I think this would be a great addition for our bofs with the amount of work we put into getting the "elite" gear.

    Also, to the whole aspect of clothing or customization, when are we going to see more klingon based clothing put into game, rather seeing so many new Fed based clothing.. i mean common racing suits... lets have some love for the faction that rarely gets something please.
