Hello Captains!

Please post your questions below and dStahl will answer selected questions from all those received. Please post them today as I will ship questions off to Daniel tomorrow.

Also, remember that questions will not be answered in this thread -- answers will be posted in an upcoming "Ask Cryptic" Web Feature that should be released before the end of the month.

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

    With the opening of the Neverwinter Foundry, will we see any of these new features ported back to STO? Post LoR, will we see any significant dev time put into getting the Foundry out of its beta state?

    Can you tell us if a new lockbox is coming with the Romulan update?
    Will more Romulan class boffs become available for Fed/Klingon, or will be able to at least customize Emabassy Boff's?:D

    Now that Legacy of Romulus is fast approaching and closer to launch, have you any new insights into the direction of Season 8 and beyond? In what way has LoR, opened your eyes to new possibilities you had not previously considered?

    Are there any plans to allow upgrades to existing Bridge Officers? I have had some of my bridge officers since launch and they are part of my crew. The issue is that many of them aren't the higher quality Boff's but almost all white. Is there something in the works to allow us to increase their quality?

    What is known about the recent re-occurring game outages?, or

    What are the details behind this that I hear about being able to raid other fleets in the upcoming season?, or,

    will we have the ability to keep the old UI's look while still having the new one, or be able to keep the old one all together? (personally I hate the way the new one looks visually)

    you can by new ones of a higher quality, which the quality is based on the rarity and its traits, its abilities may be re-trained

    -Can we expect Legacy of Romulus assets (maps, objects, ships, character creator) in the Foundry? And if so, when?

    -How do you respond to criticism that Star Trek Online Foundry authors are being taken advantage of, in that we are providing valuable feedback, but another game (Neverwinter) is reaping the benefit?

    -Right now there is an aspect to the Foundry that has in effect monetized it. You can only make Caitians and Ferasans in the Foundry costume creator if they have been purchased in the c-store and liberated Borg can only be made if an author is a lifetime subscriber. This is contrary to many Cryptic statements that their intention is not to monetize the Foundry, and we have been told it is a bug. Are there any plans to fix this long-standing bug or to "legitimize" it and expand on this sort of monetization?

    -Are there any plans to integrate the Foundry more fully into the open game world (for instance by creating mission-givers on social zones that have access to all missions that begin on that zone)?

    -Would you consider adding some version of Champions' Nemesis System to Star Trek Online?

    As a foundry user, both Klingons and Federation costumes can be created for use in missions. Will we get the opportunity to create Romulan costumes eventuallly? If so, when will this be available?

    And will we see more ENT Stuff in LOR like the Suliban?

    Lastly will we ever get proper Voyager and Enterprise Bridges?

    Thanks for answering any one of these questions.

    Hello! In previous Ask Cryptic you mention de possibility of new translations for the game, and one of them was a Spanish translation. Can you give us any news on that? Is Spanish a possibility (even a remote one)?

    Have a good day.


    Hoo.. and btw, there are a lot of exited Spanish players with the news of the new faction, on of our members (Sevak) made a Season 8 promotional web page in Spanish for the new expansion: http://temporada8.divisionhispana.com/

    Is a Romulan version of the reward ship of the Temporal Ambassador mission planned ?
    What about Romulan Veteran ship ETA ?

    Are you considering increasing monthly Dilithium stipend or daily refining cap ?

    Any updates on interior editor ? Maybe bridge editor too ?

    Could the players on the KDF side have a button to toggle the Bird of Prey's wings to be either up or down?
    I sometime think its looks cooler for some BoP for their wings to be down.

    Also for the KDF 1000 Vet ship, can there be more options for the nacelle area?
    I like the main ship hull, dark and fearsome, but the nacelle's big bussard collectors are a bit eye catching, if a more darker design would make the ship look nicer.

    There is a lot of reading and writing on the forums that players want to see Cardassians in STO as playable. Clearly As it has been stated that you wish to move this Romulan side of the story on STO before you consider much more then that for the foreseeable future, but what about giving players the chance to have a Cardassian unlock from the Z-Store instead?

    I finished the new romulan content last night, and Oh Wow, it is frakking cool.

    Anyways, my question is, Will a future patch include a new storyline for starfleet characters, that will be as deeply PERSONAL as LoR? Complete with a companion like Tovan Khev, and supporting characters like D'vex, Hiven, Satra, and Veril?

    Will there be any new mirror universe missions in close future. But for example if i have brown hair brown eyes and my rank is on my left the mirror universe me should be the opposite. And if my ship is with a Reman Shield his should be with a Romulan. That would be pretty fun !!!!
