Q1_ Fed side, many people are complaining about the low dps of the scie and eng rol(and skills nerfed), i dont want match a escort dps or have a DHC in all cruciers or scie ship, why dont give a small bonus only for role weapons like cruciers have a bonus for use torpedos and scie for use beams, escort already have a lot of edge for use DC and DHC
Q2 _can the dev team look this : http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=257999
This would open up many possibilities for customization to the players for use their favorite ship at end game lvl (not the tier1 or tier3) but the tier 4 and 5 will be capable of this, also this will made more easy for the (C) store sales in any faction.
Q3_KDF side : could at least be able to put our own fleet emblem in the (C) store ships like the orion corsair carrier
Q4_KDF side. Why the kdf side are pushed only to piracy, what about those we choose the path of honor and loyalty to the empire? is time for a civil war to put things in order in the empire
Okay so Its not a really big deal and I still like the D'kyr. I dont really feel like I wasted money but it is bothersome Will the D'Kyr graphical issues be fixed?
1) If the fleet ac if going to be at tier 5 an chance yo can give it a bit more than what you given it atm or could you lower it to tier 3? This is includes other ships as well, it seems for such expensive ships you giving not alot in return.
2)Dear Devs, you say you update ship models from time to time when you get the chance, my question is which ships are you planning on updating/improving on this time?
3)Any chance you can add more windows to the ships, I swear the feds ships have more windows on there hull. It will make the ships seem bigger in my opinion. Also shouldn't all the 25th century new ships that are made after the odyssey from the C-store come with the Advanced QSD? Like the odyssey classes, chirmra, vesta etc so how come ships like the sao paula class, regent class does not have one equipped? Does this seem fair?
4) The fleet ac and fleet excelsior are not showing up on the tier 3 and 5 list?
5)Ask Cryptic, when will, us players, we have the option to choose if we want the impulse and warp engine trails off and on? This way you guys will still be happy if you want the ships to have the engine trails and at the same time let the players who don't want the engine trails can turn them off. Everyone is happy.
6) Any chance we can have options to customise our ships, every detail?
Any thoughts into remastering "Player Interiors" ? Not just updating/touching up, I mean completely rebuilding it from scratch. As it stands, small fixes here or there quite simply, doesn't cut it. Seeing as Star Trek is built quite alot around being on the bridge of your ship, it's a travesty not to have a proper ship interior to fly from. I don't really feel like i'm "commanding" a ship. Flying yes. Commanding, no.
Any word on rebuilding Exploration/One large galaxy map anytime soon?
1. Will KDF get any new story content?
2. Will KDF get any new c store ship?
3. Will KDF get fleet kar'fi and guramba?
4. Can we have better rewards in fleet marks?
5. Wil decloaking "feature" ever be removed?
6. When invisible plasma torpedoes will be fixed?
7. When borg in stfs will be unbuffed in damage output? (i mean crazy crit hits/one shot hits, combined with respawn timer-death penalty isn't fun)
8. Will pvp get any update (maps, rewards, maybe ranking)?
9. Will KDF get ship with 5 tac consoles? I know bortasqu variant got 5 but it isn't escort ship.
10. Could marks be awarded for doing romulan and borg story content?
I am wondering if we are going to see Cardassian bridge officers as well as a playable character for the federation along with a playable Romulan and/or bridge officer for both factions due to the release of season 7 and are we going to see the ambassador class ship anytime soon?
Will we be seeing a major bug push in the next couple of months? There are still several bugs still lingering from Seaso 6 that long to be fixed.
Will we see a fix to the UI bug? Where items in the Device Slot not staying in their assigned slots.
Is there the possibilty we could have a side-storage for Pets (Space and Ground) and for Tribbles, similar to TOR, so it doesn't clutter our inventories (especially with some Tribbles now being 1-time only).
Any plans to revamp the Deep Space Encounters?
What can you tell us of the upcoming Exploration revamp. Is there a chance that could involve the Foundry, where authors or a co-op or authors could claim a planet or area of space and create a race and multiple storylines for that new race?
And what's to come of the old Exploration clusters?
When is the Foundry going to add the various ships we have in game, such as the new NPC Ships and C-store ships?
Hey Mr. Stahl. Hope you've been okay. Got a couple of questions to field at ya, and it'd be swell if you could answer one (or more!) of them.
Question: A few "Ask Cryptic"'s ago, I, as well as others, asked about the status of the extra variants of the Veteran Reward Android Bridge Officers (female, Tactical, Science, et cetra). At the time, you looked into it and announced that the overall issue had been resolved, and we'd be seeing these in-game soon. Here we are, months later, and the extra androids still haven't materialized. What is even going on here? We've all been very patient so far, but it's starting to wear us out, man!
Question: In the last several decades since Nemesis, we've seen one-time enemies of the Federation cool the anger in their hearts, and even become allies. The last Season update perfectly illustrates a once-enemy race, the Romulans, reaching out and attempting to make peace. This isn't the first time they;ve done so in the game, much less in Trek history, and be earnest about it. The Federation also regularly patrols Cardassian space and provides overall security to their sector. Would it be possible to finally get Federation Romulans and Cardassians in the Z-Store? Other Federation races that are missing would be neat, too. Deltans, Grazerites, and Denobulans, just to name a few. Addendum: And if you do add them in, or any other long sought races, would we also see the much-talked-about "Re-Species" token?
Question: I gotta be honest, I'm a big fan of the Ferengi D'Kora. I didn't care much for the lock boxes until that one. I tried to collect as many of the boxes as possible, to open them over time and try my luck at getting one of these fantastic ships. However, my personal stock is running low (had over 200+!), and still no D'Kora. With the Exchange being what it is, and that ship already being rare since it was one of the earliest prize ships, there's no way a guy like me can obtain one in any easy fashion. Is there any chance we'd see a rerun of any of the lock boxes? Conversely, will there be alternate means to earn ships that were once lock box ships, through some other esoteric convention?
Thank you for your time, and hope to see one of these answered!
One: will we see more standard episode missions making their way onto STO to advance the storyline and would you accept ideas from fans on story development?
Two: Will more bridge functionality be added such as controlling your ship from there (as discussed in a previous Ask Cryptic)
Three: When will we see more of the Iconians!?!?!?
Are there any plans to dedicate a full season just for PvP system? And if so, which season is it going to be?
When can we expect DX11 graphics updates?
The idea to obtain this free breen ship, do you intend to expand it on future ships so we can earn it for free running a daily mission like in Q's winter wonderland or something like that?
How is the outlook for PvP in the near future? Are there plans to change or add any new maps for players specially for ground actions? The PvP base players would like to know if anything else is coming up in the pipeline for this genre.
Are there any plans to release additional starship interior packs in the near future (such as the Belfast bundle), and if so, are there any preliminary details that you can share?
Are there any plans to revisit the Galaxy-X and Multi Vector Assault Mode animations to allow for added saucer separation and/or separation while flying?
I have thought alot about signing up as a life-time member of STO, but due to the lack of a strong ground mission game, among other smaller concerns, I'm very hesitant to do so.
What can you tell me about the future of Star Trek Online's ground missions that will entice me to sign up as a life time member?
I'm a lifetime subscriber and used to buy Zen specifically to trade for dilithium. I remember when dilithium used to be 350 dil for 1 c point, then it went way down to 150 dil for 1 zen. Now it is even further down to less than 110 dil for 1 zen. I was buying 50 to 100 dollars in zen per month and now have lost my motivation due to the low zen to dil exchange price. Please do something to help the market get back to what it once was so I can have a reason to purchase Zen again.
When will we no longer have that idiotic "Need Or Greed" TRIBBLE in our neck. Why on earth should be the fruit of the efforts being given away to somebody that did not deserved it.
For example : Fleet Mark Event today. Four of the team goes one side of the base to tackle the upcoming wave, me went the other direction. Took down 5 destroyers and 2 talon battleships. Last talon battleship that I took down dropped a purple MK XII phaser relay. Of course, a need or greed. You can understand that I wasn't happy to see that this item went to someone that did not took down that battleship :mad:
This is really demotivating in either way you look at it. Why should someone keep on giving his best, when he doesn't get rewarded for the efforts he is doing ? Why should someone do an effort at all, if he gets a shot to steal the work from another ?
1. My questions is will there be a way to sell old ships that we get from leveling up i have ships i don't use any more and there are a lot of people on sto that would like to be able to sell the ones they as a thought you could sell them for dilithium or a small amount of cryptic points for new ones from the cryptic store its just a thought
1. Any chance of revisiting the rewards for the diplomatic missions (non-DOFF)? These missions had viable rewards before the DOFF system was introduced, but since then, the rank thresholds increased, but not the rewards for those missions.
2. Are there any plans for a Zen Store Tac ship with 3 variants now that the Odyssey and Vesta classes exist? (those two are awesome ships, btw!)
3. A while back, there was talk about having a working shuttlebay in the ship interiors for shuttle selection and maybe even a place to view all of the players shuttles. Status?
4. Any chance of getting a special bridge layout for the Vesta? I ask this because the Odyssey and timeships have their own layouts.

3) Can we see a breakdown of damage and healing (like after PVPs) for STFs and other missions that don't have it.
Thanks for all the hard work you all do. I appreciate it.
Thanks
A selection of one of two questions for you:
Thanks for your consideration, as always!
What can you tell me about the future of Star Trek Online's ground missions that will entice me to sign up as a life time member?

Look at the pretty mushroom grow
and as always great job with the game so far
