(1) How can the team ever create a Romulan faction when they cant even finish the KDF faction after 2 and a half years?
(2) And if plans for a Rom faction are the reason for not doing a Rom lock box, does that mean that there are no plans for having a Card faction since you did a Galor lock box?
You also said that in Aug or Sep the foundry spotlight missions would be getting official rewards and would be featured in the mission journal similar to how the FEs were featured in the past.
(3) Will these missions also get full xp rewards similar to official missions, and if so can this be a means of finishing the KDF and any future factions?

Can we expect premium species respecs, first officer promotions, anything like that soon?
I play a fake Cardassian, like many, but would jump at the opportunity to make that a real Cardassian, particularly with Cardassian costume options.
A faction isn't coming any time soon. The lore already has Cardassians in the Federation and KDF through the DOff system. C'mon... I just want to occupy some worlds.
Also, instead of a full fledged shuttle bay, how about, for the time being, you mark an unused door on our ship's Engineering Deck with "Shuttle Bay" and when we interact with it, it brings up our list of small craft. That seems a bit more plausible than going to your transporter room to access your shuttles.

I think filling on of the main foyers with 200 fleet members would be awesome
thanks

If you can't answer that one, how about adding a new faction to the game, not just the Romulan but the Cardassians as well! Both at the same time will be not only Amazing for the game as a whole, but a potential gold mine for you guys!
:cool:
Update: To add on the PvP option, how about King of the Hill to protect the base? depending on how succesful the attack is, it goes to Ground PvP

1) Teamwork and timing is #1
2) You cannot "Kirk It" in every ship
3) You are going to die, just get back up
1. When will the direction of powers be directed to fixing things that are broken and not things that will are currently working properly?
2. In some podcasts and in game Q&A there were statements that the Romulan Warbird would not be used in a lockbox but in a podcast it was said it was going to in relation to a future romulan faction. So is to say that there will not be a romulan faction and at the same time since the jem hadar and cardassian galor are already lockbox's in the game that a proposed dominion faction will never exist as well but as stated in the past that there would be one?
3. TBH the question crosses my mind is that these lockboxes spell the death of any future factions and degrade the integrity of the IP for all the feds and kdf players running around in enemy ships just isn't trek and does this mean this spells the end for all future playable factions?.
4. Is this game just going to end up being grind or pay for the next ship with nothing left to do in this game besides whats already here and cut and paste what you are calling starbases which as a player does not appeal as enriching the game?
5. Any chance that melee and assimilation will ever be fixed?
6. Any chance you guys can also fix the login problem when linking accounts so it doesn't save my cryptic username since it won't let me login under that one anymore?
7. Last question is the KDF going to be fleshed out like you said so many times? Oh wait you don't have to answer this one because we are just the 18%
When will the shuttle bay be put into the game?
Similarly, is there any way we could get the old STF's back in game somewhere? A lot of us enjoyed the story element to them that has since been harder to follow.
Cheers.
Now that Ferengi Lock Boxes are no longer dropping, what's next? Are we finally to be rid of the gambling system, or (more likely the case) could we get a hint at what special stuff will be in the next batch?
Since Crafting stations will be available at Fleet Starbases, will the new Crafting system hit in Season 6?
After Season 7, would it be possible to host some kind of Suggestion Month, wherein players ask for new features for the game that actually get put in? Perhaps taking some of the old Forum suggestions up?
With Gozer leaving will we finally see a change to the STF droprates in any sort of meaningful number? I run almost exclusively Elite STFs and have yet to receive a single mark xii drop. As Gozer was fond of saying, he wanted us to earn the items, will we now actually be able to earn them thru work rather than luck?
What can we expect as a reward for tribble testing Season Six.?
Any chance of making the non-tier 5 Special Consoles gotten via C-store ships account bound so that we can move them around to other characters without necessarily having to claim the ship on every character?
When will we see variations on some of the older Pre-Order items in the C-store. Like the TR-116? Yes... I really want that gun... Bad.

2. Progress on revamping Exploration content, and finally making it a place "to boldly go where no one has gone before" ?
3. More definitive answer on WHAT kind of mission content we can expect, that are not: A) Dailys,
4. We've seen the reusage of existing assets on the Lower Decks of the Fleet Starbases. Despite it's unpopularity, any chance this might speed up production of new episodes?
5. KDF -needs- level 1-19 content, before it will ever be considered a "full fledged faction". Players need to be able to start their Klingon characters, without even setting foot on the bridge of a Federation starship. Any chance you can dish out, or repurpose 19 missions, to fill in the gap? The Kuvah'magh from a Klingon perspective for example.
6. Any new ships coming that are not tied to: A) Fleet Starbases and
1) Will Terradome that seems really out of place be split up and made into new STF's?
2) Any plans to add the new Fleet Base Tech to the interior of Ships?
3) Any plans to add a reward merchant for the Fleet Actions to get them buzzing, so much wasted content here.
I ask so that old and new members can have a better understanding of this process.
Thanks in advance!

It was previously mentioned that bridge officer voice-overs were being considered? I know that the sliders for this feature were incorporated into the character editor at launch; are there any plans to incorporate voice overs and voice options for bridge officers or Captains in the near future?
1. What specialty can we expect to see coming with the Sovereign+1 ???
2. The Galaxy Dreadnought with saucer seperation is still work in progress... what changes can we expect to see like BO config or console slots??? Will these be changed or will they stay the same?
3. One word - Poker - XD
Thank you!
PS. If you do choose one of my questions please refer to me by my Cryptic handle: @EzriRayne
1- Exactly when can we expect a Trait and Racial Respec Purchase available? Why does it have to be tied to a "Season" ?
2- Exactly when can we expect to see the ability to schedule true "Gated" content as a daily "Fleet Action"? Why can you not include the idea of creating a "social event" of said content a "social event" for fleets?
3- Would you consider having the players sign up for beta testing new content on tribble? Consider a new forum for said testers to eliminate the rants and raves but have true honest reports and rewards for such participation and conduct? :cool:
