Would it be possible to define the alert state of our ships and fleet starbase ourselves? (Ex.: Green Alert: no shields, weapons deactivated; Yellow: shields active, weapons not active; Red: shields and weapons active, personnel on battle station)
starcrow1701
When will there be shuttle hangars? Will there be new shuttle missions?
Will the fleet base system be visually upgraded at some point? Will there be new interiors?
Will old ship models be revised?
ajowi
Could you implement an option to use/transfer a skin on another item? Ex.: Using the M.A.C.O but displaying a Reman shield)
saphiromega
Could you please integrate an LCARS interface? That would spice up interaction instead of just hitting one button over and over.
julianjcarry
Would it be possible to be able to use multiple C-Sore ships at the same time? Ex.: Have Tetryon Defiant, Plasma Defiant, Phaser Defiant without converting
maddinm214
Can we get the original LCARS at some point?
Can we get more social missions, i.e. looking after a colony or crew? Will the social maps like the academy or Risa be extended?
Will we be getting missions boarding enemy ships?
Will there be more appearances from characters of the Star Trek universe?
Will there be more animations like climbing or swimming?
Will there be more trophies?
larva616
What about the future of social maps? Vulcan and Risa need an upgrade.
alphanius
When will there be new updates and when will the Klingon faction be updated (e.g. new ship)?
Any plans to implement existing but non-playable ships like the Typhoon?
Any plans to have more diverse designs of starbases, i.e. possibility to choose between project A and B with different outcome. Could it be possible to choose the weapons of the starbase? Any exterior design projects planned like being able to add the fleet?s logo?
About the players that don?t contribute at all to STFs or fleet events ? are you doing something to stop that or penalize them in any way?
Any plans to have cross-promotions between the Cryptic games, i.e. players playing STO and CO getting some kind of bonus item in the other game?
michaelfinnern99
Will it be possible to land on freely visitable planets with certain ships choosing whether to land automatically or manually?
Could we have some kind of honorary event for Gene Roddenberry, e.g. featuring the Glorious Heritage Class?
xxxhellspawnyxxx
The Elite STFs are way too easy with a mediocre group. Could you raise the/add another difficulty and appropriate rewards? Also, could you add the option to choose fleet marks as reward?
About PvP: Why don?t you add features that don?t require a lot of resources like new rewards, point acquisition depending on everyone?s individual effort, queues with mixed teams? What are your specific dates/milestones for your work on PvP?
Any chance to be able to customize the HUD?
Any chance to add more fleet mark rewards?
unimatrix77
Could we please have some more mini-games (non-social), e.g. added to duty officer assignments? At the moment you can?t do much as an officer besides shooting.
Will there be any useful additions to interact with in the interior of a ship?
nometa
Will you be raising the level cap to have a rank ?Admiral? for example?
Will there be similar shooter controls for space fights?
Could you add a feature to see fleet members on the map?
draven1907
Will there be an update for exploration missions and exploration in general? What about the First Officer and Department Heads system?
kveldulfir
Could we get individual home systems for all species?
Any possibility to customize the NPC crew of your ships, i.e. adjusting uniforms and choosing the species (especially for RP purposes)?
Any chance to get swimming gear? Are you working on the graphics and physics of water?
Could you add the feature to visit your bridge while the ship keeps on flying?
There are many ?bad? missions in The Foundry and many have been reported but are still there. When do you clean this up?
patrickkillian
Will it be possible to buy additional DOFF mission slots in the C-Store one day?
prapilius
Will there be additions to the ship?s interior, e.g. a shuttle hangar?
Any possibility to customize the NPC crew of your ships, i.e. adjusting uniforms and choosing the species?
Will there be an MK12 upgrade for Jem?Hadar and Breen Set? Will there be Breen and Reman ground sets?
fengbao
Will there be new races and ships or anything for the KDF? They really need more love.
ackreed
Could Season 8 maybe be dedicated to the KDF? With new costumes, ships, and missions for Level 1-22?
crittio
Will there be more playable races/factions in the future? Like Borg or Romulans?
oxylon
Will the Galaxy X with a detachable saucer make it into the game at some point?
Will we ever see more on-starbase fleet missions?

Will there be a Fleet Sovereign that doesn't cost the Modules?
Dreadnought class. Two times the size, three times the speed. Advanced weaponry. Modified for a minimal crew. Unlike most Federation vessels, it's built solely for combat.
thanks

The Klingon faction is in spitting distance of being fully complete in my opinion. When are we going to see the next one-off Klingon mission like "Alpha"?
Fleet marks were attached as rewards for Foundry missions on Fleet Week, but then were removed. Are there any plans to add them permanently?
Check out my Foundry missions
Fed: "To Helna and Back", "Rema Donna", "Animations with Helna", "Mudd's Weapons", "Waiting for Wednesday", "Monolith"
KDF: "Time the Enemy", "Time the Ally", "Time the Traitor"
The factions is are scarce filled hollow structure.

And, most importantly, why does the Bartender Contract Fleet Project require so many rare or very-rare drop items!?
Also adventures on our Holodeck like Captain Proton or Dixion Hill?
What is with all the Wells class ships popping up everywhere?
Will anything be done with The Captain's Table? Special items that you can only buy there.
And now to this thread's matter: "What's the next piece of KDF content in the works?" (Missions, ships, new Dailies, etc etc)
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
1. It's been mentioned that featured episodes will be returning "in a big way" in Season 8. Can you give us any preliminary details on how you foresee this being rolled out?
2. It's been previously mentioned that ship interior customization may be tied to the Foundry in the future. Have there been any additional discussions or concept discussions surrounding this?
3. Is there a way to allow foundry missions to use our Starbase interiors as a starting point? For example, would it be possible, in the future, to use the Starbase holodeck to launch into a Foundry mission?
4. Could the possibility of allowing more than five players on one team, into the same instance of a Foundry mission, be explored in the future? This could allow for the creation of social fleet events, for example.
5. Can the playerbase look forward to the release of any additional mission or PvE queue fleet missions or other content, prior to the release of Season 7?
Thanks!

And, any chance that we will someday (hopefully in the near future) be able to re-box our Lock Box ships so we can send them to our other characters?
Ive asked this in the last 3 'ask cryptics' and you have ignored it each time.
Whenever your bridge officers talk to you or any kind of interaction window pops up on the screen while you are cloaked, the pop up window forces your ship to decloak.
Ive reported this bug to pwe and they have stated this is "working as intended". NO THE HELL ITS NOT.
Or just new skins for existing ships? Because every Federationship has three or more skins.
will we be able to craft older set Maco honor gaurd omega
also when will we get to see stf store update
is the que going to be fixed loads me into wrong mission or fails to load
all new missions fleet ground I seem to spin
2: I'm not saying State of the Game is bad, but could we PLEASE have our Engineering Reports back? State of the Game is like the first Engineering Report post that I never read, because it's more like a politician's speech than anything useful. I always read the list. So, could we PLEASE have our Engineering Reports?
3: If anyone at Cryptic has been paying attention, the Well class Timeship has been popping up in-game. Is this S7 material, or something sooner?
4: I made a forum post a while back, complaining about the binding system in STO (like winning the lottery, buying a ring, and then only being able to wear the ring on your right index finger because that finger touched it first). Are there plans to retroactively Bind-all to Account? If not, why is this not happening (since it makes more sense than Character-binding)?
5: Just a quality of life question, but will we ever see a BIG upgrade to BOff AI, or just AI in general? BOffs are too stupid use melee weapons, they don't know when to jump, and they sometimes try running back to the spawn point if you stand still for more than ten seconds. Also, can you make it so that if I set auto-pilot to go to a system, my helmsman will know to turn RIGHT to avoid things to the left (instead of now, where he'll plow into other ships in the process of trying to avoid them)?
6: I used to be a big Crafter, until you put Di in the system. Now, the only thing worth the cost to craft is Kits, because the're the only things that don't cost a week's worth of Dilithium to make. Could you PLEASE take Di back out of Crafting? When it went in, you borked the whole system more than it was already.
7: I like to replay Story missions, but it's never really worth it. Could you put a small Di reward into story missions (especially for the first time around, because you almost never have any Di until you max out)? Also, there are a pair of optional sub-dailies in the Defera sector (Ore for Outpost 3 and Outpost 3 Security) that are totally worthless now that you can only get them a level 50 and they give no Di (just Skill Points - and I have plenty of those already). Could they get a small Di reward, to return them to relevance?
8: Are there plans to allow players to refine more Di from their inventory button (Say, like a Gold perk, or a C-Store option, like the EC Cap Raise)?
9: I'm not in a fleet yet, but I'm itching to face down some Tholian starships. When will Tholian space combat make it out of Fleet events? It seems like you're almost punishing players for not being in a fleet by denying them content.
10: Simple Quality-of-Life request: Can we get a Deposit All/Withdraw All button for the EC storage in our Account Bank?
11: Can we at least have a BANK on our interior (the Cargo Bay, say), if not Mail/Exchange (Communications Array) as well?
