Often times Im playing STO and Ive been playing for an hour or two and I want to take a little break. Well one thing I do often is surf the forums on the website, and then I get back into the game and play some more. So ultimately I have to log off, surf the forums, and then log back in. Well what if we could do that in game? (Steam users, I know you can already halfway do this.) I know you can just minimize the game, but you will be kicked off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
I know what some of you are thinking, What thats stupid, we want more content! Yes I know, me too, but this is just something that popped into my head one night and I figured I would see what everyone else thought about it.
Lets say there was a console on your bridge, ready room, and other various places within your ship that when you Press F would take you to startrekonline.com. When you get to the website, you are already logged in . because you are already logged in in-game. Then you could do some forum surfing/posting/browsing etc. I think this would be a way to add a little more functionality to the ship interiors.
What I think would be cool would be to have a fully functional web browser, in-game, but that would take quite a bit of time.
Im not a hard-core developer or anything, so Im not sure exactly how much it would take to implement, but, like I said earlier, this is just an idea.

This is how it works:
When you want to web browser... now listen carefully as this is tricky... you go to another window! OMGosh!
It's so easy I can web browser between Dabo bettings and not miss a round. AMAZING!
If you use "Windowed Mode" it goes much faster too! WOW OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!

I keep my iPad in front of me. Most of the time it's at STO Wiki.
Or because im Steam i hit shift/tab or whatever it is, depends on mood
Granted, some players' heads might explode at the thought of creating their own wiki.
