Xbox/PS4 - Suggestions to improve player experience v2020

Hello,
I created this topic in 2017, and stopped to play STO in 2018, now i am returning to the game and i notified the game don't have been fixed that much. Many Episodes, missions, and event have been added (event are very nice now) but the game still have the same bug, and some new one very annoying too..
The old topic have been locked https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/comment/13282137
So i created a new one, with the old and new bugs.

This topic will be open to anyone, if you have an idea to improve the game experience, just post it here, and I will modify this topic to add your suggestion ...

I start with some, feel free to send me your improvement :

0:/ Temporal ambassador mission is completely bugged, after we released the Enterprise C, we can't board Enterprice C, each time when trying to enter the door : Map Transfer Failed

1:/ Important : Add an option to mask the PNJ dialog popups which appear on screen when we are in PVE - For now, they appear on top of our abilities (Science, Engineering, Tactical, Ship and Captain abilities)

2:/ Repair the Turbolift so we can visit our ship on Federation and KDF side (good for kids playing STO, I don't care)

3:/ remove the all reputation mark reward in The Breach pve queue, to push STO players to play other PVE Queue...

4:/ We (the console players) would appreciate to have more events (Dilithium event, XP Event, upgrade week-end, r&d week-end, etc ..) the last dilithium event (before the last one) was in February... Since September I can observe a lot of events, Good job, and Thank you for that, those events have pushed a lot of old players to return to the game, and of course a lot of fresh blood too, of course we spend a lot of time to teach them how the game work, but our armadas thank you, and the pve are more quick to start too :)


5:/ Add more option in auto-execute abilities (example : fire on my mark ship = Use on Cruiser, Use on battleship, use on Dreadnought instead of auto as soon as possible, 10 seconds after fight, 20 seconds after fight)

6:/ Sort the Duty Officers for the exchange. Ex : If I want to sell a DOFF on the exchange, trying to find that particular DOFF among the hundreds I have is excruciatingly annoying. Most of the time a new DOFF appears at the end of the list, sometimes they appear randomly in the middle somewhere.

7:/ Translating the game (not with google translate) will make a lot more peoples come in this game, Spanish/French would be very nice (community can help).

8:/ Give European players the same discount that the US Players have, because US Players have Zen discount + Ship discount, while we don't have got zen discount since long time ago... (at least during that Black Friday, we got the same discount +25% as the us, it was not the case during the last Black Friday - Thanks for that)

9:/ Critical problem, improve the bandwidth and the quality of Star Trek online servers because, we have a lot of lag on when we play STO PS4 and probably Xbox, our abilities don't start at the good time (Exemple : Engineering team should start when I am at 75% hull, but it don't start, and sometime I click it manually but I have the effect of engineering team 4 seconds later) - and I have a good ADSL connection + Ping 40ms from any French server/Spain/German, 80ms from USA...
- Some month after the creation of this topic, and the arrival of a lot of new players to the game, the lag is sometime catastrophic, we can observe it easily : "After activating manually an ability it take several seconds to see its effects" : More players = Improve the bandwidth... it is urgent now, our captains experiment some step back (on the ground, and in space) Lag Lag Lag, please fix this...

10:/ Fix correctly the bug on ship cloak (can't remove cloack sometime - unless we spam the cloack button), dual mode ships like Dyson, Lifetime destroyer, ships with separation mode, for all those ships is basically the same type of bug, you need to spam the functionality button to leave cloak/return in science mode with Dyson ship/recall your ship with the Kara + Separation console... (Need to be confirmed for Cloak)

11:/ Make possible to invite in team KDF Players when we are on Federation side, so we don't have to create a private pve queue to play with our KDF friends (specially if we are only 4).. Another solution would be to create a private team first (with 3 players or 4 players) then select the PVE Queue, now to create a Private Team you have to choose the PVE Queue first, and you can't start the PVE Queue if you are not 5 players in the Private Team... (Need to be confirmed, this come from the old topic created in 2017)

12:/ Let us use the D-pad (left, right, up, down arrows) during mini-games (dilithium mining etc...) - It is more precise than the left stick.

13:/ Sort the Duty Officers in the roster by classification (medical, civilian, engineer, etc.), then job (doctor, nurse, advisor, chef, etc.), then rarity, then name. Currently, sorting by name only is a major frustration when trying to compare a new DOFF to my existing DOFFs.

14:/ (Critical improvement) Add a level in "Cycle Camera distance" for Big ships like the Paradox, Kelvin T'laru, Scimitar, Enterprise J, etc, those ships are too bigs for the screen, even with an 1meter TV, they take half of the TV...

15:/ During a mission/PVE please ensure that Contextual action required (by the mission) are not hidden when in combat (example : The Breach : Saving the ships X disappear when in combat and we have to long-press X to make appear this contextual action - Hard to do in Elite PVE)

That's all for now, if you have some ideas, feel free to post it, so it can help Cryptic developers to improve the game ...
