    i have one specifically for Drexler

    What would the Enterprise-J have looked like had you been given the time needed to fully flesh it out instead of being rushed?​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    #LegalizeAwoo

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
    I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
    The Force is united within me.

    Any canon ship you personally would like to work on that you haven't worked on already (Be it for STO or something else Star Trek)
    Any new (not-yet-or-ever-canon) ship idea that you would like to work on?

    Favorite non-Star Trek ship model that inspired your Star Trek related work?

    Who is the expert on Klingon ship design at Cryptic?

    To Drexler: If had to choose a favourite from Cryptic's ship designs, which would it be?

    To Marrone: [Question withdrawn. Even if you weren't in the art dept we wouldn't get much of an answer anyway.]

    Since the Ent-J is squished flat can we expect the K or L to be an overinflated puffer fish?

    My question is whether we could get more ship customisation options. Some ships like the Lukari one, or lock box ships or even some C-store ships, don't have that many options. Even the hull painting can only be applied to the entire ship (rather than different parts of it) in some cases.

    This one is to Doug Drexler.
    How would you redesign the Odyssey class?

From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      To Thomas Marrone: will we be seeing any new Mirror ships? If not, can we at least get the Mirror skins and prefixes for our ships?

      As always, i would recommend that you say what they do at Cryptic so that they don't get questions that they can't answer. o:)
      Artist isn't really descriptive enough when there's several types of artists that goes into making video games.

      Would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?​​

      @Marrone: If you had to pick one Cryptic-designed ship that existed in the game at launch (including variants of canon ships), which would you say is your "guilty pleasure"?

      @Drexler: Given the opportunity, which Cryptic-original ship would you want to design a variant for?

      To anyone who will answer. T6 Norway class when?
      22762792376_ac7c992b7c_o.png
      Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
      JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

      I hope you understand you're basically asking "Hey, could you come out and publicly badmouth your boss and co-workers for having to make hard decisions in the reality of television production and scheduling instead of giving you unlimited time to putter in your studio?"

      I just want you to not be surprised if he declines to commit career-suicide.

      no, i'm asking him to show me a piece of concept art or 3D model of what the J would've looked like if he'd had all the time in the world to make it

      that's the kind of passive-aggressive question that someone like ME would ask, (in case you're wondering, that means it's inappropriately hostile and confrontational)

      better way to phrase it is, "If you had a clean-sheet and the rough direction to make your version of the Enterprise J, what would you do and how would it differ from the present product version?"

      Can I ask how come we have yet to see a Tier 6 Vor'cha. Is there some licensing issue ?. We have most of the other cannon KDF ships in game but this ones sorely missing

      Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

      • What is your favorite ship that you have made for Trek?
      • What is your favorite ship that someone else has made for Trek?
      • What is your least favorite ship in Trek, and how would you fix it (other than just dumping it into the nearest black hole)?
      • What kind of ship(s) do you think is still missing in Trek/what kind of ship(s) would you like to add into the Trek universe?
