Hi all, I've got a few small requests I would like to put to the Devs for consideration. They're fairly small, easy (AFAIT) to impliment and have no affect on gameplay or balance, so might just be taken on board.
Firstly, I was wondering if you (the STO Developers) would give control to the players of where bridge officers stand on the bridge. Personally, I would like to see more bridge officers on the bridge of my starship (because I have more bridge officers in my roster than the game shows on the bridge), maybe 25 or so, as well as some bridge officer points around the other areas of the ship, like engineering, sickbay and so forth, maybe another 15 or something. But then, if possible and agreeable, it would also be nice if the player themselves could decide which of their officers stands/sits where around their bridge/ship (purhaps giving more points around the bridge and other areas than BOffs, that way there will be some diversity between where 1 player has his BOffs and where another player stands hers).
For example: the player could put the BOff they've decided is their 1st Officer standing next to the command chair (or sitting in it, if they are so inclined); they could decide which is the tactical console and stand their "chief" tactical BOff there, and if there's more than one BOff point at the bridge stations, they could stand any other "assistant" tactical BOffs there too; and if the player has any BOffs they consider to be "Security"/"Soldiers"/"Marines", they could have them standing flanking the doorways.
Secondly, I would like to request more music added to the game. There's nothing wrong with the music already in the game of course, but I've/we've heard it so many times over and over that I fear it has become a little boring.
(Although, if you come back and reply that you've been adding a new piece of music every month since launch and I haven't noticed, I will gladly eat some humble pie. lol)
Thirdly (and lastly), would it be possible to add the ability to add notes to inventory items please? It doesn't need to be much, 200 characters maybe. When right-clicking on an item the player can choose the option to add a note to that item which can be viewed when hovering the cursor over it. This way, people like me with TRIBBLE memories, can note which items are destined for the exchange or for their bank, how much the item is worth on the exchange or to an equipment dealer, whether a stack of large hypos are intended for themselves or belongs to a specific BOff, etc.
I hope people and the Devs take kindly to these suggestions and that I have successfully come across that these are mere suggestions and not things I think "should" be in the game.

2. Theres some (apparently) new tracks but long time players have long since muted the music as the repetition of it was very obvious
3. It would be handy like "DO NOT Click this item while not in combat"
