This.^^^^
As much as I want to know what was said during the interview, I can't stand audio podcasts (no offence).
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Yes, Kenna said that she would "try" and do a transcript "time permitting".

Personally, I listened to it today. Good show.
1) Delta Recruitment event will return
2) the foundry: "a little time" on the schedule to add "a new feature" for the foundry, and assets will continue to be added. Not sure when.
3) PvP: they said that they discussed some plans(not on the show, but internally)and...that's it. Nothing else to add.
4) Long term plans for reputation systems? New reps will be part of most season releases. They could stop eventually and be replaced by a new system.
5) featured replay event will return at some point
6) skill tree revamp is still planned, but season is undetermined
7) Gateway: no plans
8) Gold Rewards past 1k days? No, although they continue to add more rewards to the pre-1k list that become available to all LTS.
9) best way to send feedback to Cryptic: the forums
Annnnd...that's it. All in all, they did not actually ask very many of the community submitted questions. I'm neither saying that is good or bad, just observing.

It's a little bit of a letdown since there are literally no new informations with that bit. People could really save to ask wether the Delta Event will return (we know that since the original event ended), wether featured episode replay will return (we know that and they will never say when outside of their own blogs), what's up with the gateway (we know that they dropped it) and what's the best way to give feedback is (seriously?) and instead ask some trickier or more concrete questions.
I don't follow the fan made shows at all but whenever I get a glimpse I feel that every time the same rather shallow questions are being asked and they pretty much always return the same answers

Anyone that hoped the laundry list of community questions would be answered will be disappointed.
One thing the Grand Nagus didn't mention: They talked a bit about player population, and said it was pretty steady (not growing, not shrinking), and to some extent even very predictables. Star Trek Online seems to be different from other titles at Cryptic (or PWE?) in that regard.
