I would also like to be able to view other player characters, and to be able to show off mine to friends over the gateway! Pretty please pass that idea on Branflakes?

This is already possible You can change the URL to view a different character@handle. We will also be providing players an option in the near future to disable others from viewing their characters if they wish (sensitive data, like EC and Dilithium totals, can not be seen by anyone other than yourself), as well as adding ways to look up your friends and fleet mates without having to edit the URL.
I can already see the massive negative aspects of people being able to see everyones gear. Before it was just seeing their biography but with all this info... Yeah it will definately get abused.

It is akin to other MMOs where you can right-click on someone and see their "paper doll", except we will be allowing an opt-out method in a future update.
Luckily the porthole is bugged anyway- all my toons and ships have the opposite problem as in-game. My working toons show correct ships in game but the same toons in this app show shuttles. As well the broken porthole toon (with correct ship) shows incorrect powers.
Happily the bank assets don't show either. Please keep it broken till I can opt-out.
I personally love the system, and plan on leaving myself on the gateway. But in these situation, you really should make it opt in, people generally prefer having the choice to join, rather than having to leave under protest. Why not tie some 1 time account wide award with it when you opt in too, something silly like a title.

If it is going to be abused, it'll be so via PvP players only. Other players wouldn't need to abuse the system; they'll have little to gain by doing so whereas with PvP, everyone will be able to see what everyone else is playing with, thus people with shields not protecting against... Polaron will likely find themselves being attacked with Polaron.
Still, as stated below your post (and above this one) branflakes has said there will soon be an option to shield your data, and lets face it, this is only a beta. We can't be expecting everything to work with a testing phased project.

A good idea.
Sure, it will likely be used mostly by PvP players to see what their enemies are using and how their ship is built, but I imagine all the security problems it could create since it pulls account data (dilith, latunum, ec) as well as build data for your toons.
Is this being developed by the same group who manages this website and PWE's contact system?

I don't see what difference this makes.
Out resources are still private, so nobody can see what anyone else has got, and I'd imagine their security is equal too the standard game-login. Last I checked, there wasn't a problem with loads of people having had their accounts TRIBBLE.
i've been anxiously waiting for this to go live with holodeck info, i guess i missed the announcement. unfortunately i'm unable to access it on my phone, i have the same problem from when it was just on tribble. i have a windows 7.5 phone running IE9. when i log in, all i get is an endless loading screen.
i really miss the sto profile viewer app (rendered useless when the forum changed), but im confident that gateway will eventually be just as good, i just hope ill be able to access it.

there are 2 types of people who want there info hidden.
1. The "don't show my secret sauce" types. and with most people using cookie cutter builds any way. this does not fly with me.
2. The exploiter. they just don't want people to see that they are breaking the rules.
There is a third type but i will not mention them as i don't want to breach there "privacy"
basically this should be in game as well in the right click menu and fall under Tactical analisis.
I'm being forced to enter the "one time" verification code almost every time I log in to Gateway, even though I've saved the browser. And yes, it's set to accept cookies and keep them until they expire.
With Firefox, btw, since Chrome still won't display images on the STO site.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
All we need now is a direct link from our forum profile to our account profile and we're sorted.
This is listed as a known issue in the Bug/ Feedback threads, and we hope to have it resolved in a future update.

I'll be glad when they have the "Ship Bug" fix, though. I like my Stalker, but, my Armitage is my Best Friend...:)
I believe so.
I log in.
It sends my email the verification code...and I input it.
My character shows up.
However, when I click on my character...it says...
"Disconnected.
Gateway is currently under maintenance. Please try again later."
