Step 3

Replace your nick name and toon name with the player's one you want to inspect in the red circle:

voila! you can select from the right menu what you want to see about that person: ship gear, boffs abilities, personal gear, accolades and in what fleet he/she is.

    No, there's no identifiable information there beyond what's already visible in game, only gameplay information. It's an intentional but undocumented feature of the gateway. If you notice, you have access to less information on other people's characters than you do on your own.

    Anyone worth looking at has themselves hidden in gateway. Just change your settings if you have something to hide:)

    I dont think people likes others to see their personal character information. So, for the same reason, it should be applied the same rules as the general policy.

    No, because it's one of game mechanism.

    Why Cryptic stuff should close thread about one of their own systems and one of its option?

    If you don't want your char build being visible at Gateway you can all ways hide it by ingame privacy options.

    Because i dont think that "feature" is "intended".

    It's intended...and thus as previously mentioned, you have the ability to hide your builds if you so choose from the Privacy options in the game.

    storbank@anazonda ...

    Good luck trying...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Ooooh my , people will see what fleet gear I got! :D I'm totally shaking in terror at the thought.


    I guess hardcore PVPers may look at each other's gear if they got a grudge....but that's a bit silly.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    Thanks to the OP. Lord of the Rings Online used to have a similar feature and I used it a lot when I was online but unable to play. I could look up my characters and plan what I wanted to work on to improve them. Alas, LotRO took that feature away because it was attached to their gateway and dragged their antiquated system down.

    So glad to see that STO has this feature, and I would never have known if it weren't for this thread. Again, akpa, thanks.

    Yeah, it's legit, it was created by the web team down at Perfect World, so you got nothing to worry about... Right now It has limited features due to mechanics in game, but the dev and web team are looking into making the gateway better by adding the possibility to access, Mail, Bank, Exchange and DOff system... But that'll be down the road when the mechanics in game are simplified, so they can be transferred over to the gateway...

    This utility to look at other people's builds has been in since the game launched. Nothing new but it's not exactly widely known.

    Nothing wrong with it.

    Yup you right, and quoting me when there is no need at all is a common behaviour of certain people, i just have the experience from previous encounters..

    Neverwinter exchange, bank etc. works on the same engine as STO, and they can be correlate with NW Gateway. Real problem is STO Team not system, they simply like to release not finished things as we saw many times in past (and will see in near future: alpha stage crafting going live on holodeck, not even beta but rough alfa) and leave them that way, fixing only most critical bugs just enough to keep system working.

    Unfortunately yes. What's worst some f2p MMO don't understand that upgrading/repairing old content can give them additional profits. Now players have the-only-one-proper-ship in C-store when older are just weaker then the-only-one. So players spend only 2.5k Zen for that ship and don't buy anything else. In situation when older ships get upgrade and become equal to the-only-one players won't buy one ship for 2.5k, they will probably buy 2 or 3 such ships just to try which one is most comfort for their play-style.

    Why doesn't everyone still not know this?

    Well I guess it does need to be advertized a lot more.
