    Any chance of new refit KDF BoPs that have consoles similar to the 1000 day ships? Consoles that would allow them to lock their wings in the attack position and be useable on any BoP?

    Are there any plans to alleviate the horrible grinding system for Reputation that is currently causing much of the playerbase to abandon alts and therefore hurting the longevity of the game?

    Can we hope to get the long hairstyle for the Romulans? A goth hair is for goths but the normal "Long" hair available to all other species except bald ones would be much better, thanks.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    1. Galaxy & Galaxy-X update when??? And to what setup?

    2. Will there be any updates with Season 8 for the crafting? I would be a big advance if we were able to choose our own enhancements (i.e. Dmg, CrtD). I don't think it would be that hard to do since you already have a basis for what the enhancements cost.

    3. Smarter AI's for Combat Pets? And the possibility of the pet altering the type of energy to match the parent vessel (would only apply for vessels that have to give up a console slot like the Odyssey. Be real nice if the weapons my Saucer fired were the same as what I have equipped.)?

    4. With the newer ship packs out or in the works, and their unique consoles being rated Very Rare, will there be an update to the consoles for the Odyssey? It's the only one that I know of that has Rare consoles for getting the 3-pack.

    5. I know that it has been stated that the current Dilithium cap for refining is fine, but an increase would be nice, even as a Z-store purchase (permanent increase, not a single day deal). Unless I have something I need or plan to do, I am only online long enough to hit the 8K mark for the day. I usually have that much in reserve or can get it with an hour's worth of play.

    6. Will there ever be true 3D space combat? Turning is fine, but being able to do barrel rolls and other similar maneuvers would/should be possible, especially in the smaller vessels like the Defiant (and similar escorts) or the Peregrine Fighter.

    7. An idea for dealing with the AFKer's in STF's. Would it be possible to reduce the 15 minute timer to 2 minutes for STF's only?

    Are there any plans to improve server stability in the long-term, and reduce the amount of downtime, crashes and "maintenance" we have been seeing recently?

    I know that you cannot reveal details just yet about what the tribble test reward will be. The last several seasons have yielded tribbles as rewards. LoR is an expansion and not a season, so could we, possibly see a reward that is not a tribble? Perhaps a doff or some other treat?

    Will we be able to change Veril's appearance to the original version? The current customization DOES NOT allow this at all.

    This actually might be fun. Say, maybe spots like a jaguar's fur pattern, tiger stripes, the multicoloured tortoiseshell tabby patterns (female exclusive, just like in real life), or maybe even the distinct "M" pattern on a true tabby's forhead.

    And the hair options too could also be expanded a bit.

    As for the real-world cat patterns, that could actually be made as more added bonuses for people who unlock both Caitian and Ferasan species. I know it would encourage people to get both. And it would be added fun for those of us who already have both species! :D

    Will Romulans get unique appearances for the Omega reputation gear?

    This and..

    Will any of the special BOffs will ever be customizable. The Reman, the Jem'Hadar, the Breen, and the Romulans from the Embassy. This is one of the things I love about this game, it's got a great character editor but having it not work for some BOffs is annoying. I'm not asking for full changes, but would love to at least change their uniforms. While the Breen and Jem'Hadar might be harder, with LoR there is already Romulan and Reman options avaliable and using them fits with those BOffs.

    Continuing the customizable question, if we own the C-store version of some of the ships, will we beable to mix and match with the regular version? I spend hours getting my Fed ships just right and while the Klingons options are very limited I still spend a lot of time on my Klingon ships to.

    Continuing the customizable question furter, why was the desicion made to hold off the Romulan vet ship skin and vet uniform parts? How far down the road can we expect to see them?

    Why do Romulan captains get access to the Liberated Borg Human/Klingon BOffs but Fed/Klingon captains don't get access to the Liberated Reman BOff? How is that vet?

    Last question:

    Will I ever get access to veteran BOffs? I'm talking about the ones that were given to people that had so many marks when they were converted to dilithium. I'm more a vet then many of them were, having been here sense day 0 minus and was a Lifer the day they were sold.

    Will bugs/errors that are seemingly simple to fix and yet continue to be ignored ever be taken care of? For example: the fleet store still lists Advanced Tetryon Turrets with the [acc] modifier as being 50% more expensive than ALL other fleet advanced weapons; Mine Trap still has a building that can't be completely repaired; Red Alerts (Tau Dewa being the worst) still let you warp in even though the RA is complete AND it returns you to a specific point in the sector instead of returning you to where you were prior to the RA.

    Ok here's my questions :

    - Why he can use I.R.W. for our warbirds ? we should be Republic Romulans not Romulans who be with Sela, so would like to know why we can use it nad if we be able to use it on our first warbird as on tribble ??

    - this question is connected to my first one I hear there is mission where you get Tial Shiar uniform as reward, is it mean You will have more missions from Sela or just this one?

    - will You add any warbird carrier for Romulans that we could get without buy it from C-Store or without open hundreds of lockboxes ?

    - how long we will need to wait to see Romulan version of ground set from Omega or other reputations ?

    - will we get some special costumes for Romulans ? (alike KFD "warrior decorated skirt" for example)

    - is there any way that veteran players who create Romulan captains, get one more token for special BOFF so we could get more than just one of so many of them ?

    - will there be more hairstyles, special costumes or some gadgets only for Romulan Captains in lobi/C-Store ?

    - do You even thinked to make Romulans leave alliances and become new 3rd faction with own starbases etc. ??

    later will add more

    Why don't science ships gain a weapon slot just like the cruisers/escorts do at Rear Admiral level? They are the only class to be gimped at that level, each class gains everything the same (hull +20%, boff slot, console slot) except the science class which remains behind with the same weapon loadout as it had at Captain level.

    Hi

    I would love to have some Benzite bridge officers and have wonderd why they never made it into the game, since they were a playable race from the start.

    Also will there ever be any new Liberated Borg Bridge officers? for example it would be nice to have a choice between gender and specilaty, at the moment we get a female Engineer by why not have the option to choose a Male Tactical or Sicence Femal Borg Bridger officer?

    thanks

    HI,

    Would it be possible at the end of the character creation to select your tier 1 ship from all the ships avaiable at tier 1? After there all there 3 free light cruiser ships that federation players can choose from as well as all the tier 1 unlock ships. A player could then after selecting thier ship go the ship tailor to customise its look and bridge of thier first ship as well as naming it.

    It was pointed out this might not be good for intro that's use the default ship, but im sure an intro scence could be tweaked to use a players current ship.

    thanks

    For a sizeable portion of the player base, lockboxes are a gamble and many will not participate because of the odds. They want more to be offered at a fare market value in the c-store. What is the long term future of the c-store? With the release of a new pseudo faction, will more costume bundles, the DS9 bundle, and Romulan non-ship (we already know ships will be added) be offered to our Romulan space peeps?

    Would you consider updating the Fleet Galaxy Retrofit to a similar Bridge Officer layout as the Fleet D'Deridex Retrofit?

    Will any more ship costumes ever be made for the existing ships? Any chance for the "Excelcisor Treatment" for the Odyessy and Bortas? Maybe modernized pieces for the older Retrofits?

    Any chance for a space adventure zone like New Romulus?

    What happened to the Department Head system for Bridge Officers\Duty Officers?

    With the additional Reputation systems now being added can Fleet Mark Event and Reputation Mark Event durations be switched?

    Can we get a Daily Patrol for Omega Marks? Or add Omega Marks as mission replay rewards to the appropriate missions?

    Will Crafting ever be updated?

    With the incoming romulan ships (and their C-store counterparts), how well will players be able to customise the look of their ships? Will they be able to switch various parts between the stock and purchased C-store variants, or are they classed as a 'whole' item?

    Will there be more atmospheric shuttle maps for events, and maybe for small craft pvp maps?
