no answers to any pvp related quesitons in octobers ask cryptic, however this is discouraging
Q: (connercrest) Is there an ETA on the Vesta Class?
Dstahl: It will launch next month (November) on the same day as the release of Season 7.
this means that season 7 will go live next month. which means we'd better get that siphion changes on tribble so we can freaking test it and get it adjusted if needed.
im sick and tired of quick release's that completely TRIBBLE things up.
season 7 needs to be on tribble now so we can get some serious testing on it as well,
also, this omega personal reputation system BETTER have currency obtainable via pvp or else it'll be another complete waste of potential ways to get more people into pvp.
this cancer system, i mean reputation system sound like a brand new grind with a brand new currency that locks new and unbalanced items away from anyone who only really wants to pvp. again. and its another item sink too, just like fleet projects.
and a great big **** you to everyone wanting account bound stf drops, probably the #1 most wanted thing in the entire player base. nope, the cancer system, i mean reputation system, metastasized and is now going to completely take over the fair and equitable stf store, creating a new grind barrier.
any chance for any other items to become account bound just droped significantly, its clear they have made no effort on that front. they just came up with a reason to not do it instead, its your captains achievement to have that item! oh please.
and he mentioned new ship tiers with an admiral skill cap increase, he BEST be jokeing. that huge amount of money invested in tier 5 ships, and then suddenly they're all worthless? oh i don't think so.
Q: (russell1997) Is there going to be a better way to get Purple Mk XII ship consoles?
Dstahl: We will continually add new ways to get items with each season. In Season 7, we are adding some brand new, as well as improved, MkXII science consoles in the Embassy Fleet Holding. Until then, Duty Officer Assignments and the Exchange are the current options
This sounds pretty hawt.

Season 7 will most likely go up a few weeks before release. It'll likely be full of bugs and will then be released with the exact same ones. Nothing that goes to Tribble seems to change on it's way into Holodeck, why start now?
As for the Vesta, that's not going to touch Tribble simply because it'd give the playerbasse to try before they buy.
And Cryptic is too **** scared of losing money instead of making something that works as it should do.
As for the new fleet holding, it's just another grind. I'm bored of STF grinding, i'm bored of Accolade grinding, i'm bored of Starbase grinding, and i'm bored of STO grinding. PVP was fun, but frankly it's the same 100 people, most are going to kick my TRIBBLE regardless of what I do, and most are perfectly happy with shelling out for the new hotness to keep the edge.
It's all getting a tad repetitive.

Why would they answer another pvp related question when it is always the same question and one that we already know the answer to.
because they dont ever give any direct anwsers. "soon" "next season" "we're working on it" usually the anwsers. its also i feel somewhat insulting to have been told at the begining of the years big plans were in the works, then slowly and surely they've just outright been ignoring us.
yes i realize borticus has been fixing small fires (or at least attempting too) but seriously, every time they release something it completely screws all their previous attempts up.
the reputation system is the next big mess that'll need a team to "fix" it. if they even bother trying too.
i mean come on... its been what, almost 6 months since the starbase was introduced and theres still no way via pvp to earn fleet marks, dispite pvp being one of the best examples of fleet team work needed. -sighs-
they seem to be operating under the assumption that sci consoles are still underpowered. frankly that hasn't been the case since the new skill tree and p2w consoles were released. more often then not my sci slots are full of flow cap or particle gen, and im not flying a sci ship

Basically no point in asking questions PVP related because the answers will be ambiguous as usual
Until recently, its been obvious that cryptic doesn't want to send a single resource pvp's way. Bort is an obvious change to that, and if bort is reading this, I want to again say thanks for the work you've done. Problem is, I see the same issue of cryptic just releasing hair brained ideas still with no regard as to how the community views them. Bort then has to scramble to try to change these releases that are out of balance the best he can within the confines of what he's allowed to do with them. You obviously can't just remove a doff that ppl have spent money on opening without an outcry, even if the doff has no place in the game. So while I REALLY appreciate the work bort is doing, it still feels like he's just plugging holes in the boat with his fingers. If cryptic continues to show no interest in consulting their community before releasing OP TRIBBLE (making new holes), bort will never really be able to get a handle on actually starting to rebalance the mountain of issues there already are now.

Science that have multiple, albeit diminished buffs?
I want to play the game, not spend my entire time preparing for playing the game.
Can we please have a second server that is running a S3 version of STO?
