    Nice interview, well written.

    It's cool to hear there really is going to be a Summer Risa Event. I thought the talk I'd heard about it was just rumor. I look forward to Q's antics.

    Also nice to hear CO is going to get some love w/Cryptic North.

    Oh, and... First! :D

    :cool:

    Very cool. Looking forward to the Risa event.
    However, Stahl doesn't believe it is just the new "learning period" of the game that is drawing back old players and bringing in the new players; he thinks that it was the "higher-quality" content the team was able to create and implement for the expansion has just as much if not more to do with it.

    Have to agree here. The new content that came with LoR was much higher quality than the older missions. However this makes the transition from the finish of the Romulan arc to the older Fed stuff on DS9 a bit jarring. Sure you guys changed around the text to fit the Roms/KDF, but going from the new shiny to the old was weird. Since it looks like you guys really want to revamp the Fed tutorial (which I highly agree that you should) I would also suggest doing some remasters of the old missions to bring them up to speed. I think I remember Dan saying they wanted to do this when they had time, but I can't seem to remember where.

    As far wanting to do more expansions, I can only say: YES. If any future expansions are up to LoR quality or higher, then you won't get any complaints from me lol.

    Anyways good stuff in that interview.

    Okie dokie, Summer event is really coming up.

    But you he made me very worried with this "possibly biggest update to the doff system yet". I believe many (including me) like the doff system as it is, meaning any messing with it may very well TRIBBLE it up.

    And speaking of upgrades and expansions: Calm down! No need to churn them out every month, rather focus on bug fixing and take your time to do stuff right.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    The summer event sounds really nice. I enjoyed the winter one. Wonder what ship they will bring out for this one?

    English is not my main language but I think I never read a published text with so many orthographic mistakes.

    so seeing how there is going to be a risa summer event, will the art team actually be making all of the custom skins full body instead of head only?

    PLEASE?

    " Stahl told us that Cryptic was very happy with the results of the expansion as well as all of the positive feedback the teams are getting. "


    So it is true that they don't read the forums after all.

    this could be the "dance bomb" Borticus was talking about...

    Make a "horga'hns" item, and when used on a female character (player and npc alike) they start dancing the seductive dance uncontrollably :D

    the nerd rage about that one would be sweet XD (even worse than baloon spam XD)
