Can't wait to see this once it's up and running in full.
DOFF management is of primary importance to me. Also, it would be nice if the accolades would actually show the statistics of the passive skills that are unlocked, and furthermore if you got a "set as title" option when you click on one to see details.
I agree with the prior posts suggesting that BOFF skills be shown in order of rank, sound effects be added (maybe make optional), and also having the ability to rotate, or at least see multiple views of your ship.
Finally, I hope that inventory management is an option, and setting away team or space BOFF positions. Getting to manage some of the more tedious aspects of STO when I'm on the internet for a few minutes but can't play would go a long way towards maximizing the fun I have when in fact I do log in to play.
Pretty good start. There is a problem with the compatibility with iPhone mobile browsers. I can log in and when I type in the access code that PWE emails me, the screen will not scroll down to allow me to press the submit button. I have tried on both Safari and Chrome on the iPhone and have the same result.
Works great on my IPad ironically, better than the STO site works on my I pad....I really do hope you guys at Cryptic expand this, and not just forget it and it stays around catching dust.
I got to it on my PC about 10 minutes ago, no problem.
Interesting... Not very functional at the moment, but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.
It looks like a glorified version of the Captains Database we use to have.
(that wasn't very functional either)
I'm gonna try connecting with my EVO in a little while.

Been very fortunate in regards to STO and my computer...
(knock on wood)
I've had very few problems actually connecting to and playing the game.
(now the quality of play-time IN the game, is another matter altogether...) :rolleyes:

Blank screen in IE10 ModernUI (Metro).
Blank screen in IE10 desktop (normal mode).
Login screen in IE10 desktop (compatibility mode), but entering a username and password results in the blue ovals animating but never progressing.
Really, if this is going to be a mobile/tablet solution, don't you think you should be testing on Windows 8?
#1 please let me switch characters without logging out and back in, i know browsers can save passwords and i usually do, but it's an extra click you just removed from the game, so please make it so here too.
#2 Ship Systems > Officer Stations
Bridge Stations should have some kind of overlay to see what BOff Powers are really available by the equipped Ship.
Right now it only displays all 4 powers and not all of them are usable which makes it a bit confusing if you want to make screenshots to share your current build
on that note i'd request that we may (maybe later) get an external link to share these stats,
maybe even internally only with other users of this Gateway?
Maybe give us an option to allow friends / fleet members to view profiles at any time and let us look at the profiles of our friends if they allow it?
Anyway looks awesome so far, but don't stop working on it anytime soon, there is lots of things that have to be added before this lives up to its full potential.
Very, very nice...
I feel like J.T. Kirk in the movie, accessing genesis's project file.
I hope we will have soon acess to:
mail
duty's officers system
bank, inventory, exchange (also dilithium exchange)
moreover I'd like we will have access to a selected set of public (only) data of player's characters: i.e. biografy, current ship info (class and name), fleet...

Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
It only lets me see my characters on the beta servers and not the holodeck
Haven't you read the article? or didn't you understand a word from it?
Again, as said by other (and quite abundantly too, actually): It still is a beta, so the info it displays comes from the tribble test server, not the holodeck server.

Geez ppl, LTR
I was just about to make the same comment, but just so people see it as they go through the thread...
To access the STO Gateway, visit gatewaytest.startrekonline.com from your computer, tablet or smartphone's internet browser. Please note that as this is a beta release, character information and data will be pulled from your Tribble account. To sign up for the Tribble Test Server and transfer a character to it, visit this page.
Bolded important info.
Thank you for the time...

Cryptic, would you actulaly like me to spend actual Money? It's Simple:
Full, Story-driven, select from start 1-50 Klingon Side
Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable
Expand Dil and Rep/Fleet Marks to regular story content
so instead we get something that we can't actually use on an iPhone (No access to a droid so I can't test that one) because the authentication code can't be entered due to a scrolling issue.
Still it is resources that could be better spent on the game itself and many of its problems. We will agree to disagree but the fact remains that it is resource that isn't needed when in fact the game itself needs the attention.
Not really. THe gateway guys are supposedly well trained in this particualr thing. While they probably COULD help out in maingame stuff that would be ignoring their specialties.
It would be like putting a prep cook in the head chefs spot. Sure he MIGHT be able to do the job, but nowhere near as well as the guy who was trained to do it.
"Gateway is currently under maintenance. Please try again later."
Riiight.
And a day later it's *still* offline. If this level of service is in any way indicative of what we can expect from Season 7, then this game is in big trouble.

It's online right now and has been. Maybe try clearing your cache?

Right off the bat, I think it would be beneficial for the login screen to warn the user beforehand if Gateway is down.
Took two tries but I made it.

Stop the easily abused and unfair auto-silence "feature"!
would more testing on mobile browsers not be better used

Um, no. Still no go. For the record, I go to page:
http://gatewaytest.startrekonline.com/#/login
What browser are you using? I'm using Firefox (well, Nightly) and I got in using your link.

Same. Just tested with IE, FF and Safari.

I'm using IE 9 (and no, that shouldn't matter).
Last time I tried (out of a zillion times) screen just hangs at:
"Accessing Secure Personnel Files
Please Wait..."
But no actually login, ever. Refreshed it at long last, and it just went back to saying it's in maintenance.
