Priority One: Your questions for Dan Stahl
Hello Captains! We will have the privilege of spending some time with Star Trek Online Executive Producer, Dan Stahl.
The show hasn't been scheduled yet, but it looks like it will be in the next 2-3 weeks! Just prior to our 100th episode anniversary extravaganza!
We plan to talk about his and the community's reflections on Season 6 and what's in store for Season 7!
But I'm sure you have questions too. Please leave your questions for Dan, here in this thread or send them to incoming@priorityonepodcast.com. We may select your question to ask on the show! As always we reserve the right to reword questions in order to better present the intent on the air. So please be sure to leave a thoughtfully composed question.
Check in with us to see if your question was answered. www.priorityonepodcast.com

2: What is the status of adding a T5 excalibur to the fleet store?
3: It has become evident that many people who voted for "playable Romulans" in the poll thought they were voting for a full faction, not a sub-faction like some of your recent posts have discussed. How can the results of the poll be used when people misunderstood what they were really voting for?
4: When will you start making better use of the foundry to solve the content disparity problem between the factions?
5: What types of rewards can players expect with the updated Foundry Spotlight feature you said was coming in October?
Can the way dilithium is contributed to Starbase project be altered to allow you to type in an amount, instead of using a slider?

I as many other players were hoping that the "Elite" fleet gear would facilitate this, but unfortunately we were wrong and got gear not really worth bothering with...
Any details on the reputation system?
When can I have my Fleet Exclabier/exeter/Vesper??
When will we get bridge officer slots that scale with our rank, meaning my vice admiral should have 5 commander bridge officer slots on my at tier 5 ship that are universal so that the captain may customize and balance their own ship respectively. Thus making this a more balanced game?
Tier 5 should be tier 5 fore, 5aft weapon slots, 15 universal console slots, 5 device slots now that is a tier 5 ship, and the lower tiers should respectively scale? Thus forcing Cryptic to make more competitive ships with better stats,turn rates , consoles, weapons that would reflect the ships worth othe than boff seating.
Every community poll about the Romulan Faction has indicated that it would be more popular than the KDF faction; plus including your own polling!
By the way, this is a pointed question, but what the hell happened to the Cryptic Studios that we knew pre-launch of Star Trek Online that touted how they could generate content quickly? What happened to you guys? You developed Star Trek Online so quickly but obviously you guys slowed down into a decline in development. What is different then and now that you guys seem unable to continue serious development of this MMO? So yeah, what was different then and now?
2. Fleet Galaxy-X when? And if never, why?
3. TNG pack ETA?
4. Ship decorations, like symbols, flags, banners, Jolly Rogers, cosmetic damage? Possible premium/purchased ship skins?
5. Better PvP awards?
6. Improving/encouraging team play? How and when?
7. Hats?
EDIT: I thought of another one.
8. You've mentioned that you have wanted to change STF rewards so they aren't as random. Now you're saying they will somehow be tied to the upcoming reputation system. How? And if not the rep system, how will they be changed?

2. Will there be another Junior Officer Appreciation Week so that those that missed out will have the opportunity to grab the Exocomp?
Any chance we'll see new hairstyles or alien parts soon?
We have had a ton of NPC and Player races added since launch: Breen, Caitian, Tholian, etc. Whats next on the agenda? Lets say you could add any race right now to the game, plans and theme be damned, just a race you want in the game, what race do you add?
Supposedly we're getting a new sector block, anything you can reveal about what we'll find there?
(Its worth asking however unlikely)
2) When will the KDF get updates?
3) When will the Regent be fixed and improved on the stats and combing ship parts?
4) Will we see the Nemesis design of the sovereign class as a fleet skin?
5) When will the ambassador class be out?
6) Will there be more abilities added for ships and characters?
7) When are you going to improve old ships which need fixing?
8) PVP improvements and balanced?
I'd resub for that one

Another quick one: Considering the player's reaction on the forums about your plans for Romulan playable specie (which is basically a costume option), and considering the fact that obviously you can't or don't want to make a new faction, any plan to come up with a more acceptable compromise? Romulans joining the Federation would be utterly ridiculous, you know.
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.
I say this because with the exit of key developers, the interaction with the customer base has become....how shall I say...lackluster?
-ABM
and any word on andorian antenna animations?
*Junior Tactical Officer* But sir the cube IS right in front of us.
*Me* EXACTLY! Its right in front of us and you still missed it! Just step away from the console.
Ripped TOS Shirt for men and women in C-Store. When?
I mean seriously, the racing uniforms from one episode of Voyager made it in, but one of the most iconic looks from the very man you dressed up as for a damned photo hasn't? Illogical.

Hybrid Weapon rank bump (Hybrid Plasma Disruptors, Phased Polarons and Polarized Tetryon) even as blues to at least MK XII?
Reruns on Lockbox ships (I really want a BUG), alternative ways of getting Spiral Wave Disruptors (I like Disruptors, but I don't like green on my Excelsior)?
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
Will there be somekind of credit given to those DTNE entries that inspired the new ships, like a unique title? Or maybe them getting that ship for free as a thank you?
Will there be other ways offered in the future with Limited Time Starbase Projects that won't cost Dilithium?
Will we see special missions or unique drops that could lead to unique furniture or unlocks for Starbases that Fleets could pursuit?
Will Fleet Marks be integrated more into regular missions so Fleets won't have to constantly grind the Fleet Missions? That way players would have more freedom to do the things in STO that they want?
What is Cryptic doing about those who nonparticipants who do nothing in Fleet Events and let others do their work. Is CSR really doing something about such people?
Will the Queues be fixed where we don't end up being queued in STFs when we want in a Fleet Event?
Is there going to be a revamp that makes lower levels viable in Fleet Events, so they are no longer a hinderance?
What are the plans on the remaining Canonical Ships?
With Klingons we got the VoD'leH (Negh'var Varient from All Good Things) and the K'Vort-class BoP. With Federation you got the Yeager, the Elkins, the New Orleans, the Challenger, the Freedom, the Constellation, and much more.
Could we see partial discounts for the other C-store ships with Fleet Modules?
Could we see other Fleet ships that don't require Fleet Modules?
Could there be an refit program that lets us refit our ships as we level up?
Will we see another NPC Balance pass to fix the overpoweredness of Psychic Attacks like Undine's psychic attacks in Colony Invasion, Reman Psychic Attacks or Lethian Rapture?
Curious, why is the Relativity going to be a playable ship? It's a 29th Century Time ship, what about the Temporal Prime Directive?
How come we can have 29th century starships, but we can't fly older ships in-game?
Tell us more about the 1000 Day Veteran Ship.
When are the Wrath of Khan uniforms ever going to be fixed? I could live with being a captain but it looks like the captain rank pin has been bent. Even when Kirk fought himself (technically Martia but it was Bill Shatner twice), his captain's rank pin was not damaged.
Not asking for exactly "when" but ... is the BOFF department head functionality of the DOFF system on a schedule? I am really looking forward to this feature and I hope it is not lost in the Delta Quadrant, hoping each time that the next season will be the leap home (Sorry, I had to toss a Quantum Leap reference in somewhere
When, if ever, is the Friend Referral coming back?
If you ever did a "motion picture" set, would engineering look like Star Trek 2 or Star Trek 6 (aka Next Gen Engineering)?

We had a good run everyone. I really believed in STO. I followed game development for 5 years before its actual release. I've played my heart out since beta. I pulled 2 friends in with me, played my heart out some more, and purchased about $50 worth of in-game merchandise. I was a real player in the STO universe. I wish the game had continued to expand in terms of episodic content but it hasn't. Instead the focus has been on "filling in the blanks" and making money off of boxes that somehow always ended up in our inventory. I really believed that Season 5 had us back on track. I'm not saying that Cryptic or Perfect World has bombed; just that their goals have grown so far from my hopes and expectations, that I can no longer consider myself a member of the STO community.
As for the QA section for Stahl, I'd like to remind everyone that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Translation: When people want a full Romulan faction, give it to them. If nothing more, release a new episode once a week. The idea of a mini-faction is like spitting in the face of (clearly) the majority of players who voted in this poll.
Live long and prosper.
That is an excellent idea and one that doesn't have to cost the company a lot. A free key every 30 days would be a nice addition to the 1,000 Day Veteran Rewards. In their current standing, there is very little reason to subscribe.
Can we have the original Gorn skins and colors returned? Maybe add this as a special reward for LG level Klingon faction toons in the future for a replay of one of the Devidian series past missions.
For the Galaxy-X and the Garumba it would be the lances of course, this gives you the ability make the Fleet versions of them without giving away the lance as well. It could even have the added benefit of putting different energy type lances in the D-Store for those that would rather do something other than phaser / disruptor. Restrict these lances to the X / Garumba only, and any future ships that you may decide to put a lance on.
For the Excelsior it would be all the transwarp abilities, and since that is a non-combat ability, just go ahead and open that special piece to any ship. The bonus here is it makes buying the Excelsior a little more appealing, for those that want the transwarps but don't necessarily want to use the Excelsior itself.
This would also open up more possibilities for new ships in the future, so instead of *just* consoles, you have a new slot to play with.
Alternatively, you could just restrict the ability to buy Fleet and refit versions to those that have already unlocked the prior version in the C-Store.
2: If the T2 cruiser doesn't make it to the fleet store, how about using the Chris Madden entry for the Enterprise F contest in its place? Assuming Cryptic has the rights to all those designs still.
Link to the entry I'm asking about: http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk280/hravik/ent-f_final_small.jpg
3: Will we be seeing a frigate hanger pet for the Atrox? It would be nice to have pets that don't go boom in a stiff breeze. Perhaps the Miranda or NX, to give those models a use since they won't be seeing T5?
