We've hardly gotten any Dev traffic since Borticuses thing... other than Tumerboy, Brandon, the occasional JamJamz, Heretic, and Gozer, barring the departure of the latter two of course.
I'm know that bad things happen, but a little more dev interaction couldn't hurt.
I've been wondering, will STO ever give players the ability to fly the ship, from the inside of the ship, instead of outside of the ship? It would give a chance for people to do more with the inside, instead of just using it as a hang out. For some people, being able to command from the inside would be a great idea, though there are those who wouldn't like it, but it would help make the feel of a more realistic gameplay, or more of a show look to it.

The short answer is no. This has been asked for numerous times. The game engine simply will not support this.

Cryptic says no to space travel/combat from the interior. Repeatedly.
Aside from some pretty serious technical limitations, they've also made it clear that the third-party exterior view is how they choose to present space combat and they don't really want to change that.
Never say never, but in this case my opinion is that it's very doubtful.

My guess is some of them are recovering from PAX/Labor Day and that they're hard at work on something. They do seem a little quiet, and that usually means something's in the works.
Heretic and Gozer, of course, are no longer Devs so even if they showed up here they wouldn't be able to tell us anything useful.

But what could it be?!?!? Mine lawds, the suspense!!!

The dumbest answer I've read. Activision has it years ago showed that it is possible. "Bridge Commander" The Dev's need to develop this system. You do not want me to say, they can not develop this, or? Like some other things as well.

They would also have to rework the entire game engine, build it from scratch. Next time, read the post before you reply to it.
Also, bluegeek has stated that Cryptic also CHOSE to display you like this, even if the engine DIDN'T impose such limitations.
That being said, there IS a way to fly through sector space from your bridge without reworking the engine... sort of. Assuming the dev team implements the idea, that is.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

I know all about Bridge Commander. It is a different game by a different developer. It is a completely different game engine. The developers have said that the Cryptic Engine does not support that feature. You can not expect one game to have a certain feature just because another does, especially games by different developers. The only thing Star Trek Online and Bridge Commander have in common is that they are both games based on Star Trek.

Here's the long answer for you that one of the devs provided.
No, the game's engine is only capable of displaying a character's avatar one time on screen per zone that you are in. You can only have one avatar in the world at a time. To be both inside the ship as your avatar, performing ship combat (Which ships are avatars) is not possible with the engine. They developed ships and the humanoid form as the avatars for this game, they can be swapped between space and ground. You cannot interchange them because A) It would simply look horrible. The ships are smaller than your actual character when you view their real sizes side by side. And The ground avatar already has an entire system for combat setup, you cannot just swap this out for all of your space combat abilities. It would look disastrous.
I for one however would love to see phasers firing from my nose and photons flying from my TRIBBLE, I would find that hilarious.

Only space sector? that's not enough.
"rework the entire game engine" Yes, STO-2 more tactic and realistic in the game! I'm concerned they should do it, but without the Champions engine. I have the feeling that just a little handicapped. The focus is only on it, no time to look to the sides.
The galaxy map to merge in a single map seems to be a problem. Where is the problem? The missions that need to be remade? And? Does it yet! For that is STO free2pay.
But nope, it is rather looking for a solution that is simple. :rolleyes:
STO could have damn lot of depth as EVE Online, or more. You just have to make something of it. STO has good approaches, but these are upgradable.

I have to agree on your position of the BC view, however this none-sense that cryptic isnt able to do it, or that it would take overhauling the engine is none-sense. It is a matter of not having the experienced programer to be able to do it. Those within the community that is BC to other groups that are still around, would find a way to getting around this limitation. I know, as i was a modder during the days of SFCIII and i know many from the BC community that know how to program around problems. Unfortunately cryptic doesn't have the programming necessary to accomplish this task that would be very interesting and a different perspective to the community.
Remember an engine is only limited by the experience of the programmers behind its creation and evolution.

STO could have damn lot of depth as EVE Online, or more. You just have to make something of it. STO has good approaches, but these are upgradable.
Right on the mark, it is a matter of having experienced and capable programmers in order to create and remove these barriers that exist in STO. Alot of problems that lye with STO is along the lines of how small the universe is, not enough exploration to it shouldn't take you less than 5min to getting across anyone one sector or from map to map edge. It should take someone weeks if not months to getting to another sector, STO in comparison to Eve universe is 1/3 the size of one planetary system within Eve and that is unacceptable.
However, with Cryptic having a new team and more money to expand on STO and the other titles, it will take some time but these upgrades, which will take time and we are along for the ride to express our desires and try and influence that change and direction.

It would be as much work as building a new game. Which means for a couple of years, we'd have no updates to anything at all. At the end of which, we'd have a less-exciting mode of game play that wouldn't bring back most of the people who'd leave the game during those years.

All of that doesn't mean a hill-of-beans...
It's simply that you have decided to IGNORE The Fact that from the get-go...,
...Cryptic CHOSE to create the game in this manner...
What you or I or any other player DESIRES, isn't a compelling factor in the direction the game goes.
It has been and always will be, all about the COST Of Any Changes...
For Them to implement this particular change which you desire, would mean a very large code change and is probably, in Their view, Cost Prohibitive compared to the return on the investment.
It's nice to have desires about this games future, but one should also be realistic about the possibilities.

And I have modded for Armada 2. No one here said that Cryptic couldn't do it, we said that their engine does not support it due to how the engine uses your avatar. In BC, your ship is exactly that, your ship. In STO, your ship IS you. If you controlled your ship from your bridge, then no one else would see you. Thats why if you are in space with a friend and your friend visists his bridge, his ship disappears. Personally, I love this game for the interactions with my friends. A bridge view gameplay would seem to hinder that interaction. Remember, BC is a single player game. STO is a MMO.

If you made STO so exspansive where I had to have my conn officer set a course and then I had to wait a week or month to get there, I not have fun and I would move on. That would be too boring. Realism is fine and dandy but, some concessions has ro be made for the sake of playability. I really wish people would quit trying to make this game like some other game. If I want to play BC, I would dust off my BC game disc. If I wanted to play EVE, I would sign up with them. I like STO, and I want the changes to the game be unique to it. If you want a game that is more like BC or EVE, then go create it.
This thread has been highjacked enough so I am done with this debate.

a less-exciting mode: No, i think just makes it more exciting. That alone can attack subsystems like BC. This would enable many new tasks and options. Since a mission where you have to fly to a planet to deliver relief supplies. A ship comes and you have opportunity to start various options. Now we destroy the drive or the weapons? In both cases, you can continue the mission to fly around the planet without to destroy the ship . In addition, you can still get Diplo XP because you have not destroyed the attackers.
Since there are several interesting scenarios come to me just in the sense.
That's a lot better than the stupid shoot-system what we have. Just think just search for what you do with such a system can do.
Sorry if I laugh. but that is far from "non-exciting".
The ground mode you could change, too.
And to the topic "time, a new dev team", I hope PW is better than Atari. Should they even send some people to Cryptic. :P

I understand your position, it was only an opinion which was also backing up your opinion and correcting what you had stated in regards to restrictions on the engine which isn't the case as a former yourself you know that any programmer could overcome those short sighted problems just as we both have experienced in our respected modding groups.
I agree this thread has been hijacked and i we respectfully disagree.

Now some tweets from the Cap'n.
@CaptainGeko: Spent a lot of last week working out the remaining details of season 7 sector and content with the leads, and how it dovetails into season 8.
@CaptainGeko: Finished up the next rounds of ships for fed and klg. Now we are onto 1000 vet reward ship, and then finally, a long awaited fan favorite.
@CaptainGeko: ?@x3of9: I can't wait for the hints as to the 1000 day ship to start...Original or canon? etc?
Not exactly either. That'll bake your noodle.
nice, ambassador is on the horizon then. well i hope thats the fan favorite. the vesta is not a fan favorite, i think more people dislike then like that thing. it doesn't look like anything that should be from the 24rd century. besides, the texturless mesh was in the foundry, so its likely that it is one of the things that was finished already.

.....I'm terribly busy and can't commit to maintaining this thread anymore. I wish I could pass the reins in the lead post to another. The format seems to work fairly well.
.....The original "Want to see what the devs are working on?" thread spanned a couple years and over 532 pages. It was a place where the community could see new screens and find "proof-in-the-pudding" for future releases, whether missions, ships, or costumes.
.....I really wish I could commit but I'd rather not maintain a thread than do it poorly.
.....I'm not leaving the community but I won't be as active. This isn't a good-bye, so much as to why this thread may fall into disrepair.
.....Thanks to all the devs who shared their work: tacofangs, borticus, gozer, capnlogan, thomasthecrypticcat, dstahl, jamjamz, mhighison, heretic, jheinig, and more. Also, thanks to stalwart contributors from the community, you're too numerous to mention.
Thanks for all the fish,
David "Darrenkitlor" P.
P.S. You'll see me around Neverwinter and I'll be a huge proponent of UGC still.
I can help keep the OP up to date while you're away from the forum, provided that you give permission for me to help and that the community helps by continuing to link images as well as post information that is relevant to this threads topic.
Hope you're well, stay in touch when you can and we'll see you around the galaxy, whether it be in passing you by in a starship or crossing swords or sorcery in Neverwinter, which I'm sure will have a few players you recognise.
Cheers!
