"The reason why Lobi crystals themselves cannot be traded between characters is because we offer all characters a chance to earn free Lobi and it would lead to an exploit."
Don't worry about it. As I haven't been opening suckerboxes you can't exploit me.
"The reason we added them was to prevent an exploit that was harming the game.We pay very close attention to the amount of Dilithium in the economy and how much Dilithium is acquired on a daily basis."
That right there sounds a lot like "We capped you at the amount of usable Dilithium you're able to acquire each day but we're devoting additional time and resources to TRIBBLE with you".
I love how questions pertaining to the latest c-store offerings (blatantly and bizarrely overpriced) was completely ignored.
Well, I believe it, just like I believed when he said he playtested the first Dominion series episode months and months before it happened.
I just hoe we don't have a repeat of that with this...
Also, skants would be neat. I can already envision the Zapp Brannigan flash mobs in Drozana... Everyone comes in as a random alien, then all at once switch costumes to Zapp and start dancing. It'll be amazing.
As a STFer, let me just say that it gets my stamp of approval It's really, really awesome.

Was it ACTUALLY playtested this time, or was it just fake-playtested, like the so-called "Feature Episode" that Mr Stahl claimed to have tested about 6 months before the episode was even STARTED?
I was hoping for an answer on the 700 day veteran android options.
I'm mystified why the devs keep avoiding this question.
Ah, but don't forget that last month's Ask Cryptic had a blow-off answer for us. That's supposed to hold us for another 7 months untill they can come up with another excuse.

I would pay for MC Hammer pants available at the tailor. Nothing beats a Hammer flash mob.

I found a lot of those answers disappointing. Dan needs to take more time to answwer more questions insead of cherry picking what he can just simply answer with some sort or redundancy.

DStahl :

So you offer 1 mission, and it gives 1 Lobi, and it's not repeatable .
You admit that ppl are asking for more free Lobi , but you are not giving them the opportunity to earn any substantial amounts ingame .
And you use all of the above to justify keeping Lobi bound .
/clap-clap-clap/
* I'm sorry Dan , I just could not find any words to properly describe your actions . :mad:
Oh yeah ... , can't wait for the Armada of AFK-ers to hit PVP when they smell Free FM .
Mind you I still think it's a good thing to add to PVP , but unless they offer it with a system that substantially awards the winning team ... , well PVP will take an upswing ... , but not in the quality of it's population .

And in that situiation, the exploit is:
Make a new character. Run the non-repeatable 'Free Lobi' missions. Put the Lobi obtained in shared account bank. Delete character. <-- Rinse, repeat. Lots of free Lobi.
^^^
This is why they will never make Lobi an account bound item.

Two solutions:
1. Make that particular Lobi character bound. (Im sure its possible.)
2. Get rid of that one lobi all together and stop offering free ones in FE reruns. (For account bound Lobi Id be ok with this.)
Honestly, I don't understand why they keep adding more and more new currencies (Lobi, Marks, Fleet Credits, ect) as we still have GPL which is still all but useless...
My question as mentioned by my fellow Fleet member in the last Q and A is this . Will the cap limit be raised on fleets ?
As currently we had to seriously rethink the whole member base we have and to that we almost when it 3 fleets, to which it be too much for are members to build 2 star-bases let alone 3 , there are other MMO's out there there have a larger cap for there guilds to be fair, while the number of fleets affected might have represented a minority, we are large and been around for 10 years and since then the fleet grown in numbers . The large fleets potentially represented 1% or more of accounts, which with the enormous player base could be hundreds of members in a fleet such as ours. So is there a chance this could be looked into ?
Q: Are you planning to add PvP related content in the near future?
I would like to invest money into the game but as a pvp orientated gamer the pvp related content which the game offers at the moment is simply not enough for me! To implement stats (leaderboard) would be a big step forward and a reason for me to stay and pay for the game because what I really want as a pvper is persistence!
We've always wanted to have a Dixon Hill outfit, but if we go all out and do that, we have to add the Tommy Gun in as well
This made me lol! "I think you got him!"
I also noticed a grammar error on Question 6
However, but we are still a few months away from nailing this down.
Shouldn't that be "However, we are still a few months..." or "But, we are still a few months..."?
Sorry if this has already been pointed out, I didn't read through the entire thread.
On the Vesta, I like what I hear, and have an idea (heh, that rhymes!).
Like how the Regent class is a 2409 refit for the Assault Cruiser, why not make the Vesta a "refit" for the Star Cruiser? From what I've read on the Vesta Class, she was a more scientifically oriented ship than the Sovereign, while still being a viable "battleship". She'd probably be suitable as a refit for the Star Cruisers we already have in-game, though I'm not sure if this space was reserved only for the Odyssey (which was called a Star Cruiser, though she was an independent ship as well) and, I have to admit, I don't know how hard it would be to introduce this.
Not being rude, and it's not only about this subject, there's a lot of people that think this game should be changed based on their own special needs, and often times when these changes happen, they have a more negative impact on the game as a whole. Too many people's mommies told them they were special a little too often. Just hate seeing this game made easier and easier because people don't want to work for anything.
I believe this statement actually proves the point while invalidating it.

Is waiting for a better NX budle, Xindi and Temporal Cold War FE, an Delta Quadrant *starts holding his breath
HELL YES!!!!!!!
Finally someone has seen the light...
The NX-01 Bridge would be awesome, also where is the voyager bridge? Its the same with the Delta Flyer, the interior is identical to every other "shuttle" interior (not surprisingly the TOS shuttle has the same interior as the flyer -_-).
Although I love the fact that the intrepid's nacelles move when going to warp, the flyers DO NOT.
So an improved NX package Please (with other ships/replicas from the same era) and a Voyager pack PLEASE every other show has had a pack except Voyager!!!!!

Also I'd love more of Voyagers weapons, especially the ones from elite force. like this one for the Hirogen: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Tetryon_pulse_disruptor
Dstahl: We had our first playtest last week. It is pretty awesome fighting the Borg Queen, but there were several elements leading up to the boss room that need some more work.
Oh hope this means we'll finally get another STF soon.

Not correct. The Next Generation hasn't had a pack yet either.
While I do want to see a "real" Intrepid-Class bridge, I'd like to see a "real" Sovereign-Class bridge more, but that's my opinion, considering we all have different opinions. Why didn't I see "Galaxy-Class bridge"? Because we already have a bridge pretty close in the C-Store (I think it's the "Justice" or "Triumph" bridge).
Also, I'd like to get a new costume pack, personally. TNG Film vests (we see Sisko wearing one in "In the Pale Moonlight" and Picard wore one in "Star Trek: First Contact") would be nice. Maybe add in 2409 Antares and Sierra variants? Just a thought.

So, do we finally get to commit cyborg regicide?
I can't wait to play it then
Is there a ground version and space version like Cure, Infected, and KA?
Was it ACTUALLY playtested this time, or was it just fake-playtested, like the so-called "Feature Episode" that Mr Stahl claimed to have tested about 6 months before the episode was even STARTED?
Any hidden nodes with your name in there?
