Dan, can we please end the war? The Federation/Klingon war, that is?
The Klingons and the Federation are working together against the Borg. We'll have to work together against the Iconians. Both sides are already assisting the Deferi. And we know that the war was fomented by outside forces hoping to destroy the quadrant.
There is neither logic nor honor in continuing the hostilities.
Occasionally we hear that player suggestions are not possible due to tech/game engine limitations. From a developer perspective, what items are on YOUR wishlist that are limited by the tech/game engine currently. More to the point, which ones are likely to be introduced into the game with future tech/game engine upgrades. Do you feel Player and Developer priorities are aligned?

They could remvoe it once the Iconions invade in force... until then.. leave it... the Iconion presence... has yet to be confirmed.
I know that plans change and priorities are adjusted but can you give any status on these items?
When will the Wrath of Khan Uniforms be fixed?
Where do we stand with more choices for the 700 day Andriod BOff (such as other departments and female)?
After focus on end game story, do you still have plans to go back and remaster certain missions?
Wish List of questions?
Could the Playable Liberated Borg be for other species? I would love to be able to play a Liberated Borg Caitian.
In the near future (months out), would it be possible to look at adding more diplomatic XP to the diplomacy missions? I enjoyed First contact missions but they are worthless since you only get the 10 diplomatic CXP points.
When will friend referrals come back?
Thanks for your time.

1. Can we have a "warship voyager" design, from those Kyrians in Living Witness? Perhaps one with a carrier for fighter shuttles?
2. There has been some talk on the Champions Online side about the issue of people outside PWE's player area (IE Russia, ROK, China, Etc.) being locked out of their LTS and subs following the required change to PWE accounts. What is STO's status on this?
Cryptic has made some awesome looking uniforms over the past two and a half years. However one in particular looks inferior when compared to the others,. There are many fans out there who love the Wrath of Khan Uniform. When will it be brought up to par with the rest?
Oh yeah I also want to know how and when we can put people back on ignore on forums to not see their messages its kind of annoying since about 2/3 of the junk messages I read on here are from those I do not wish to read their posts
Will we be seeing an update to the Fleet Roster so that we can sort by handle? Some players have multiple characters in a fleet and it is difficult for fleet leaders keep track of them especially when promotion time comes around.
1) Will it be possible to play as other factions in Ground PvP ? (I.E. Blue Team decides to play as Breen, Red Team decides to play as Tholians)
Say at the start of a match the option is given to both team leaders as to which faction they want to play as.
1) ourselfs (leaves your appearance as it is)
2) Cardassians
3) Jem Hadar
4) Tholains
5) Breen
6) Borg
7) Undine
8) Deferi
Upon picking a faction.. the teams appearances are changed to match those of X faction (i.e if the team leader picks... Borg.. all of Red team's appearence are changed into drones)
Then when a faction wins a game.. their presence in Sector space increases.
Q) Have any considerations been given towards adding a Alternate Advancement (AA) system instead of increasing level cap and adding new Ranks?
Q) We keep seeing new forms of currency introduced instead of consolidating the ones that already are, let alone utilizing them. Have any consideration been given towards simplifying the current Currencies down to 1 or 2 at most? We're right back to Launch with the Exploration Marks ect.
There's three different currencies for buying borg items when there should be just 1, there's 3 different regular currencies (EC, Lat, Dil) for buying vendor stuff, when there should be just 1. And soon we'll have Fleet Marks on top of it all.
Q) Have any thoughts been given towards revamping the BOFF Training system? It's entirely too cumbersome having to find another player with the appropriate skill and then having to trade the BOFF to them, risking theft or wrong skill training. This system also vastly diminishes the value of the Bound/Unique BOFFs which can't be traded and trained.
In the movies and Tv shows the visual look of ship combat always seemed to be only one phaser or whatever coming from the front of the ship, could we see this in the game as a visual option to show all weapons or just the one.
Are we actually ever going to get new missions (Apart from the Rumoured FE) anytime in the near future? It is something that has been asked for repeatedly since well before F2P so obviously players are wanting it. Is it on the cards?

* Shuttlecraft Registries. It needs to be placed into the proper format, is this something that we can realistically expect to see fixed in the short term?
* Speaking of shuttles. The Aquarius class escort. Is there a possibility to be able to name the vessel and give it a registry like a shuttle? If so, would this be a long term or short term fix?
* Caitian hair. Nice mods for it to date but have you had the opportunity to look at M'ress? The three long female hairstyles would be perfect if nothing else. Can this be addressed in the short term please?
* Former promises. Too many to really list but what is on the road ahead actually? I'm beginning to not like what I am seeing lately and I'm sure many players will agree with me. I'm not sure where Cryptics focus is right now and I'm not sure what the PWE agenda is either. If an effort to start getting some of the player's concerns/issues addressed and fixed, it will create a better feeling among the loyal (and I would like to emphasize that word) players that we have not been asking for things in vain.
For example, here are a few irritants I would ask to see fixed - Why the uniforms for Klingon Diplomacy Tier 4 officers on Fed ships are not the same as their KDF counterparts? Why do Nausicaans have to have a collar on their uniforms? Why are we unable to change the Federation race Marauding Tier 4 Officers? I mean I can't change anything! Color me frustrated to say the least.
And... Klingon content for the KDF players. Does anyone really need to say more about this in particular? I may be mistaken but hasn't this been a priority to complete since launch?
I know the team is doing some great things but we do need things like the above addressed.
My biggest question: Since silver players are "limited" to one Fed and one Klingon character without an investment, this means that the Klingon playerbase should be much larger than 18% of the active playerbase in general - it should be 75% - 90% of the F2P playerbase easily. However, in light of the well documented lack of content available to the KDF, it is all to easy to see F2P players check into the Klingon Empire, play for ~10 levels or so, then "run out of content" to finish leveling their character in the same manner that they leveled their Fed, thereby leading to the 18% of active players use their Klingons situation. What actions are the Devs contemplating that could encourage (drive?) at least the F2P people into using / leveling their Klingon toons?
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

My question is the possibility of having a "redshirt" in the true Star Trek sense of the word..not the main character mind you, but would there be a possibility on an away mission, just by sheer bad luck or bad timing one of the character's BOFFs actually stands a chance of getting killed?
2- Are there any plans for a working shuttlebay in our ship interiors? I have a few things I would love to see: a) all our owned shuttles present that show their user-chosen paint schemes, b) shuttle selection, c) (and I know this could be quite difficult) a cinematic of your shuttle choice leaving/returning to the bay. This kind of stems from the firefight in the shuttlebay from the last FE series.
3- What if we could all fly around in the docking bay/saucer of ESD?
4- Are there plans to allow players to command a fleet of some/all of the ships they own? Perhaps in missions or a redesigned STF in which the mission is designed for 5 ships instead of 5 players.
If any of these are in the works, are there any estimates as to when they might be seen in-game?
With the difficulty obtaining lock box ships on just one character, will we ever see lock box ships account wide unlock when they are opened on just one character?
this +1
abit silly that u cant already do this id love to delete a fed charater but its got a bug ship stuck on it
Now that the Photonic Bridge Officer ( SCI ) is in tradable box upon pick up, When might we see this on other such times like the TR-116-A ?
Will Vet Rewards contenue past day 1000? and if so will they be in the 100days interval as it has been?
what extended universe content would you most like to see in game, if given compleat freedom. What is that number 1 item on the development teams wish list.
why it is that we can't just got to character select screen when we want to switch toons, why the need to log out and back in?
will we ever be allowed to use things like the M.A.C.O , S.O.T.O and Honor Guard unlocks, and the DS9 pack Bajoran Robes on our BOffs ?
will the Fleet Base system space and ground zone, and our bridge, ever become static? where if we log out in it when we log back in we'll be in the same place rather than out in in secor space or the ground local we where at before beaming to the ship
Fleet Credits: workarounds aside, is it possible that we could have all the faction pacific fleet credits be account wide, that way we don't have to juggle recources aound from one toon to another.
1000 day vet reward Ship Verent: Will this be a single type ship, like say a T5 Conni will it be more in line with the idea behind the Android BOff where we where to be able to select one from the three classes?
Level Cap: Will we be seeing the level rased in season six or is that still a TBD? and what's the status of Space "away teams" is that still in the cards?
The [CLASSIFIED] Ship Variants one can get from the fleet Store, how will this work, will they be bind on pick up or would they be bind to account so we can send them to an ault?
1. Could we sell the ships we dont use on the exchange or trade them? When we have leveled up or moved on, some other crew could use that ship!
2. Please get rid of lockboxes. If you wont, can you make them non(theme of the season Ferengi,Cardassian)themed and just make them starfleet or kdf? It takes me out of the game when im fighting Borg and there is a Ferengi lockbox. Would be better if I was playing fed it was a starfleet one and if I was playing a kdf it was a kdf one.
3. I think the KDF and any other playable faction should have the same history and depth in gameplay as the Federation has now. Its understandably lopsided, but for this game i think all factions should receive the same attention and resources and broad spectrum of game play as the fed do. Can we fix this? If we can please fix the KDF first before rolling out other new factions.

It's just picking between 2 factions now rather than picking a side.

Are there any plans to allow the creation of hybrid species as/or boffs/playable species
What future species can we look forward to seeing as new boffs or playable species
Are there still plans to have Jupiter and Typhoon class ships be playable?
Will KDF be getting their 100 day veteran reward option and/or the longcoat at Lt. General?
For Season 7, where will the new sector be on the galaxy map?

1- What's the status of the Vesta Class?
2- Are there any plans for a working shuttlebay in our ship interiors?
