    Now that the Klingons have level 1-50 and the Romulans have arrived, and having played through both factions tutorial missions, the Fed tutorial now seems a bit jaded in comparison. Is there going to be a revamp of the Fed tutorial?

    And if there is will it involve Starfleet Acadamy?

    The snowball cannon from the Winter Event was great fun to use, any plans for a photon/quantum/transphasic/chroniton/plasma cannon for ground missions?

    Is there any plans to revisit the pre-orders itens? Some items like the chromodynamic armor start to be undesirable once you go past the Lt. level since you can find far better itens form drops.

    Since the game is no longer being sold, is there any chace to see itens that previosuly could be only be bought from some retaillers and/or special editions on C-Store? (Like the red matter capacitor or the TR-116 rifle)

    Thanks Cryptic for introducing the Kelvin Timeline. It remembered why I decided to never more put any money on this game.

    Thanks to everyone who submitted their questions for the May Ask Cryptic! I am going to ship these questions over to Daniel so he can pull some of them out and respond. The answers will appear in an upcoming "Ask Cryptic" Web Feature that should be released before the end of the month!

    Cheers,

    Hi Captains,

    I'm re-opening this thread so we can collect more questions now that Legacy of Romulus has launched. Have one? Post it here! I'll be re-shipping the thread along at the end of the day.

    Cheers,

    the biggest question of all, when are the most immediate bugs like queue and team RA hand in going to be fixed along with a more permanent patch for the server stability issues?

    if i maybe so frank to point out but the amount of maintenance cycles has been absurd and trying to join into a team from the events listing like mirror incursion, sb24 and then getting booted out is probably one of the most annoying things i have ran across to date. please tell us you got a fix for these issues?

    Any plans to actually tell the players about the mail system changes ?

    ...Or does the stealth nerf stay stealthed by denying it ever happened.

    On Tribble, Fed Romulans got access to exploration and patrol missions. On Holodeck, KDF Romulans get the Pi Canis sorties once we hit the 20's, but we don't get all the combat wrapper missions (Most Dangerous Game, Turret Killer, etc.) and we don't get exploration missions. Is this intentional (i.e., do Romulans just not get their allies' extra missions now), or is it a bug?

    Dan, I would like to start by saying that LoR content has been great. I especially locaed the episode Mindgames.

    But I do have 2 LoR question...

    1. The Tholian Strike Force rep system. OK, we get Tholian marks for the Tholian Incursion mission on Nukara Prime. But, why were the fleet marks taken out? Can we please have them back?

    2. The Legacy Pack had a Reman DOff pack in it. Any chance we can get a Romulan DOff pack in the C-Store?


    thanks.

    It feels like some of the missions (especially those in the Dominion Featured Series) don't really take Romulans into account. Is there a plan to fix this?

    I love all the romulan ships right now. My Question is: Are we going to see a Romulan Carrier type ship soon. Or is it possible to get Scmitar class like a Carrier-Type ship?.

    Also what about the Unique 3 Pack Flagship for Romulans?

    Is there any chance we'll see flavors of Quad Cannons other than Phaser and Disruptor? And how hard would it be to keep them in the "only one quad cannon per ship" category (so you can't use a phaser+plasma+polaron quad cannon trio on one ship). What about Quad Cannons that trade some damage for accuracy in the fleet store (must still own the relevant ship to get them)?

    We have now seen the second Bortasqu' uniform set on both the mannequins in our starbase AND now in First City next to the Tailor. (Long coat in Bortasqu' style, plus shoulder pads and possibly sash, as well as Bortasqu' paneled skirt on the starbase). These uniform pieces are also appearing all over various NPCs we encounter since LoR has gone live. How and when will we unlock these long awaited Advanced outfit options to go with our Basic Bortasqu' uniforms? :)

    When will other species like Hirogen be available in the C-Store?

    With the new Trek novel series: The Fall, a TNG/DS9 that basically throws off the the current implementation of Deep Space Nine in STO. Will Cryptic be revising DS9 to the Federation built station and later turning the current DS9 maps into a Cardassian hub, Empok Nor?

    Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.

    Will there be more ship interior options available to the Federation any time soon?

    Will the bridges gained from lockbox ships be available to use on any ship that you own?

    Will there be a Tuffli Freighter and Jem'Hadar Attack Ship promotion in the near future?

    Will Fleets gain Romulan Science and Engineering Bridge Officers with the Superior Romulan Operative Trait, to match the Romulan Faction that currently has it available on those officers?

    1) When will you eliminate personal bias from ship design. For example, all the evidence from previous Star Trek texts suggest that a Galaxy is much more powerful and versatile then an Excelsior. However the Galaxy is effectively moot in this game despite the communities repeated attempts to try and gather support for a Galaxy rework. Can we just have some ship skins to put on an Excelsior or Sovereign that at least look like a Galaxy so we can actually fly a half decent version please.

    2) Why did you copy Mass Effect 2 in your Romulan storyline. The Elachi serve in exactly the same capacity as the Collectors from the Mass Effect series. There are also identical similarities including

    - Technology
    - Indoctrination
    - Having a station that is in an inaccessible realm
    - Abducting colonists to use in their own reproductive process.

    3) When will we finally see Cruisers balanced to compete with Escorts? (I'm sorry, I really do not expect an answer to this...)

    4) When will we see Fleet versions of the Galaxy X?

    5) When will Fleet projects be reduced for smaller Fleets... it was talked about a so often with Cryptic, never happened.

    they don't follow the post-Destiny novels, as there are major plot conflicts, i.e. the destruction of the Borg.

    Dude, Cryptic wisely stopped making any attempt to be consistent with the Pocket Books Star Trek continuity long ago. Probably sometime around when Janeway became the new Borg Queen and started absorbing planets with her super cube.

    STO follows the events as laid out in the Star Trek: Countdown comics, and subsequently the new 2009 Star Trek re-boot's account of conditions Spock last saw in the prime universe before getting zapped back in time with Nero.

    The Pocket Book Star Trek novels are so far off the rails at this point, the Typhon Pact, the new Voyager Delta Quadrant missions, etc.... Yeah, we got the Vesta, but not the insane continuity that it came from.

    Why is there no singularity core for the tal shiar adapted destroyer? Could you make a reputation project to turn the warp core into a singularity core for romulans?

    I don't mean to be answering questions meant for cryptic, but that's probably so that the Feds and Klingons don't get access to Singularity cores.

    When can we expect a public apology for the laughable state of the D'Deridex and many other iconic ships (Galaxy, Intrepid, Nebula) that you've completely misrepresented for non-canon vessels that you seem to think are "cool"?
