game queries

ok I wanna start by asking about a tech question for the devs. I know all of you at cryptic/PWE have noticed windows 10 has a 64bit only, I know STO and all PWE games run with a 32bit engine. was wondering if there were plans to switch the game to a hybrid 32bit/64bit to ease the transition on the servers and players both. I know some still don't have windows 10 and maybe running vista/7/8 with a 32bit OS. but for those with a 64bit with over 4gigs of ram up to say 32 on some gaming rigs. I think it would be a great idea and might help stabilize the servers somewhat. easing the wear and tear and stuff by allowing rigs that have 64bit and 4gig or over, to actually use that ram that's idle due to the restrictive ram capabilities of a 32bit OS. and then in a year or 2 when you have a lot more people utilizing the 64bit of windows 10 you can fully transition to a full 64bit engine, which may even allow you guys to further the games capabilities and function.

ok second query is having a tool that will allow to see which gear for both space and ground (which both have now tons of options.) that will allow for better comparison or even a tool tip that will suggest type of ship it will best suit, if a rep or episode reward would be a better match or not. I am always asking fleet members and other zone chat on opinions and things but can never get a suitable answer. and since just about every 3-4 mths a new set for everything changes or makes older sets obsolete. so that upgrade feature that is nice, but for me and maybe others, we don't wanna waste time and effort to constantly upgrade every set to max lvl when 3 mths later a new set will make that one no longer effective to the next seasons enemies. I think for the amount of dilithium available for refining per day and or from all ways to earn the dilithium the need for using refined dilithium is more cost, meaning some people who are joining cannot keep up with both making and having dilithium needed to be on par for most missions, or stfs. and yes I know there people from year one and lifers that have dilithium in the millions, but for new people its grind for 6mths get rep gear, upgrading or whatever and then new content comes out and those same items that were upgraded, or bought via rep or fleet stores is now maybe 20% less effective to new content challenges. I know there are missions, episode's and dailies that can give dilithium but we still stuck at refining 8000 of the 16k we just got done grinding for one day. if we continued to get 16k dilithium for each day we still have to wait to refine the next 8000.

so if PWE/Cryptic sees this and or other players please comments on things you see as outdated, need for improvement but always don't complain about something, complain and offer a few solutions or thoughts on how it could be adjusted to be fair and work with the game. remember complaining over and over wont help them, but writing with suggestions and possible work arounds will make the complaint much more workable for both parties.
