    Is there any plans to introduce a new ability where you can disable the enemy's ship? rather than destroying them, and maybe, we get some kind of diplomacy points for not taking a life and making it more feel of starfleetish.

    I'd like to see ground social maps based on cities from Earth. Like New York, San francisco itself, Paris....

    And maybe with rooftops to visit.

    There isn't a specific place where polls go. Occasionally they'll just pop up and you get the chance to cast your vote.

    ...not that it makes much difference. Cryptic create these polls, asking people what we'd like to see, what we want more of ect, and then the developers completely ignore that poll and go and do what they think would better serve us. Evidence of this is in a poll we had not too many weeks back about what we (the fans) would like to see in season 7. A vast majority of the results leaned toward a playable Romulan faction.

    What do Cryptic do instead? They completely ignore that and instead incorporate the Romulan Empire (what is left of it) into the FED and KDF factions. The poll might as well have asked us whether we prefer Red of Green Grapes for all the use it did.

    How is this going to balance the game? It wont. If you have Escorts tanking as good as the Cruiser is, you undermine the Cruiser. Escorts are already quite well powered enough.

    is there where to post questions for the next ask cryptic?

    If so..... err... Are there any plans to implement a tractor beam for use in missions? Such as for towing, pushing etc.

    I realise its been asked before but it never gets answered :/

    Will the Motion Picture uniforms ever be fixed? I mean the collars. ever since its release the neck of characters are always showing through, its a very nice costume other than that, its just annoying to see flesh colored pixels pushing through the collar.

    1)- Season 7, i.e next month. View previous Dev Blogs for details.
    2)- Very unlikely, that would cheapen the actual ship that people win/buy.
    3)- I think they added a few new ones recently.
    4)-What Nemesis skin?
    5)- It is what it is.
    6)- Season 7.

    I have only one question :

    Why does have the optional in the STF's to be an "Need Or Greed" lottery ? Isn't that optional a result of a team effort ? Of the last 20 STF's I have done (Elite), I got only 3 times a part of it, and still something that isn't worth a dime & nickle. The rest of the time, a big void for my efforts. Very rewarding and encouraging to keep on playing the STF's ? NOT !!! And if you claim different, you're joking and a joke.

    IMHO, as this optional is a result of a team effort, each member of that team should get the whole package of that optional. Equal reward for each one of that team, which is more logical and rewarding for the team. And such, more people would be willing to accomplish the STF to a good end and collaborate with a team.

    Ahh did not realise I miss counted, weird. WHAT NEMESIS SKIN, have you ever watched st nemesis before?!

    What do you mean see regent class that does not help. Also I know what I doing in pvp, its is a fact the escorts should not able to tank better than a cruiser even the ones designed in-between. Your answers to my questions does not help or answer any question. Better quit whilel your ahead and leave it to the professionals.

    Any change of getting a Cardassian Spiral-Wave Dsruptor Rifle as a ground weapon (especially since the art asset is already ingame)? And while we're at it, that crazy-cool shock-cannon the Nausicaan Elite Raider NPCs use?

    OOH!!! OOH!!! OOH!!! AND NARADA CLUSTER TORPS?!?

    And maybe the other TOS Mirror Universe uniform variants, or at least the captain's version? All we have right now is First Officer and Female.

    Also, previous (as in, no longer available) lockbox ships in the Lobi Store? I started a lengthly discussion about this in a thread, here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=425361

    Finally, any chance of ever seeing the NPC ships (particularly the Typhoon, Jupiter, Warbarge, Ravager, and Balaur) as playable? Again, here's a linkie to a topic I started about these with some implementation ideas: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=422401

    Even if one of these questions gets andwered, I'll be happy. Thanks!

    will we able to get Romulan/Reman DOffs or BOffs in the new season? i've read in the dev blogs "romulan officers" many times, but on tribble, all i see is a "consumable" romulan and reman officer in the romulan rep. system list, like a common security escort, wich is plainly ridiculous. it would be nice to have a romulan BOff in the crew, especially, if it would have a space trait (for exemple, efficient, or other space modifying new trait)

    RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.

    There have been some interesting additions to the Foundry with Season 7, though more would always be better! Can we possibly get a comment on when we could perhaps expect to see some of the large number of costumes and such added to the game in the last 2 years make their way into the editor finally?

    A stop upon the following thing : Being engaged into a STF that is already running.

    Nothing worse then have to start an STF where your shots to a benefit are already wasted or half wasted by those that are already in that STF. Simply, I rather wait till a new bunch of players are queuing up for a STF then clean up the mess of others. :(

    are there any plans to fix PvE Battleships to get rid of the cheats they have?

    And before anyone says they do not have cheats let me list an example:
    yesterday I was playing the episode in Hobus where you get attacked by a D'deridex at the end (the IRW Sitesh I think). I used Eject Warp Plasma II to halt it in it's tracks and then used Evasive maneuvers to get distance. I then got to the side of the ship (out ofr Torpedo and Heavy Cannon firing arcs). This is a solid tactic that should work. What happens? It fires volley of four Heavy Plasma Torpedos at me... at least 45 degrees out of any firing arc that could launch torps... it fired them anyway. My response was Fire At Will to destroy them, then my weapons go red and lose all power, my shields were still at 90%, my hull untouched, no shuttles were launched and no beam was used that could have droped my weapon power... it was just gone. I hit an Engine Battery to up engine power to escape, then my engines go red and I am dead in space, the torps hit and drop my shields and hull to zero (which is odd since torps are supposed to be weak against shields).

    So it is obvious that NPC 'boss' ships are programed to be able to cheat, that their weapons fire in impossible arcs, and do damage not even MK XII Borg weapons can do.

    So any change that PWE/Crypptic will fix this, or are you just going to pretend we are too stupid to notice?
    Vice Admiral Ross
    and others too numerous to name...

    Speaking as a member of a recently created fleet will we ever see a lobi style store that allows those of us that missed the early projects such as the bar or windows to purchase them?

    Maybe add it to the dilithium store as a feature?

    Will we ever see themed ground sets added to the store? Say armour weapon and shield with a unique costume, I'd love an Enterprise era MACO themed set.

    I'm sure at some point they'll run out of stuff to put in starbases, and start rerunning them. Maybe one at a time, maybe two at a time, maybe all at once, but I'd bet that there'll be a way to get these things later...

    Afterall, Cryptic is all about selling the same content to you over and over and over again. :cool:

    This though, is not the thread for posting new questions. As I understand it, they're going to be a little later with the November one. Maybe a lot later. To catch the post-S7 launch questions, I guess.

    What I have summed up from reading this thread.

    Nearly 99% of the player base who use the forums dislike where the game is going.
