The new UI is quite nice, but that's all, it's only more graphically appealing. The same errors and bugs haunts it, specifically the responsiveness (i.e. interact buttons sometimes don't respond when clicked once, you need to click it multiple times, the power tray buttons on ground combat don't react immediately, rather half a second later, more or less, and this extends to other interaction buttons..).
So my questions stands;
Is there a plan to look into this, and if you have already is there a fix for a response rate of the UI on "to do" list any time soon?
lor looks great so here is my question with you letting us change the uniforms on the rear boffs we get in the begining do you think letting us change uniforms on the original jem haddar , breen , reman boffs to make them look and feel more like part of our crew ??
dan with the voice overs being done do you think you could do the voice over for Admiral Quinn when we visit esd ?
I'm re-opening this thread so we can collect more questions now that Legacy of Romulus has launched. Have one? Post it here! I'll be re-shipping the thread along at the end of the day.

Any news on the much talked about First Officer system? Last mention was it becoming some kind of reputation? Also, any news on crafting?
Can we get Picard's vest from First Contact? That'll complete all the TNG film era uniforms then!
Have a few questions some may be the same as previously asked.
#1. Last ask cryptic it was stated that the KHG costumes were known by Cryptic that they are broken but with the giant update there was no fix put in because of this and I find ironic any characters that didn't have it previously are having to grind up time to get something that doesn't even work so when is this getting fixed?
#2. The federation and the romulan characters have access to faction only 5x tactical console ships so when is the KDF going to have access to ships like those (I know the bortasqu' has one that has 5 tactical consoles but its null and void because its not an escort weight class type of ship like the others with 5 tact consoles). So my question is when are we in the KDF going to get some 5 tactical console ships (as possibly as well ships comparable to the vesta and other new mold ships) ?
#3. KDF ships in general we've only gotten 2 new ones in the past 2 years so when are we going to see more of these come out?
#4. Is there any talk or dicussion going on to make the fleet system where its not faction specific? I ask this because most of the content coming out is cross faction as far as missions go and I figure it would be easier for most fleets to only have to work on one starbase and for ****'s and giggles it would just be easier to call them omega fleets. So is this something that could happen (idea behind it is different faction players would just load up a base of how their factions base would look like instead of having to do a new starbase for each faction thats totally independent on a given faction and would reduce a lot of the lack of numbers for KDF in this regard)?
#5. I know melee has gotten a lot better than it was but when are we getting more melee weapons?
#6. If this mail thing is going to stay where it only allows 20 mails for 100 items only in the mail is there going to be something that is not penalizing players for storage like the warp core system basically is for how small fleets are able to get the amount of doffs needed to continue this never ending SB grind? (The issue is new items are always being pumped into the game but yet their is a lack of common sense on nerfing the mail where it was the only way to compensate for the lack of establishing storage for everything that you deliver on content.)
When will the inability to delete mail messages get fixed, or is this a deliberate plan to make mail so frustrating that players will simply quit using it entirely?
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, will the mail fix include:
- A bulk delete feature for these hundreds (or perhaps thousands by then) of messages building up? (A "delete all messages from this sender" button would be particularly welcome.)
- A "recipients mailbox is full" error message instead of a silent failure when that error occurs.
- The ability to control how much of the mail window is the message list and how much is the message body?
- The ability to control the spacing of the messages, or just a narrower spacing similar to the one in the old UI?
- An option to turn off "sold" messages from the exchange, or at least set an EC threshold for sales we want an e-mail about.
If we report the exchange as the spammer it is, will that block its status messages while still allowing returned items through?
I can understand the need to limit the number of attachments stored (both the technical and financial reasons) but this botched and quasi-silent rollout of an apparently untested new e-mail system is the kind of fiasco I'd expect from a high-school programming project, not a professional development studio.
they don't follow the post-Destiny novels, as there are major plot conflicts, i.e. the destruction of the Borg.
Is your name Daniel Stahl and is your forum name yellow? I didn't think so! This game could benefit from some more soft canon additions. The Vesta is an iconic soft canon example of a successful C-Store product. The new DS9 also looks amazing in comparison to that Cardassian rust bucket.

Looking for a new fleet? Drop by the in-game chat channel, "tenforwardforum", and say hi to the members of A Fleet Called Ten Forward (Fed) and The Orion Pirates (KDF). If you already have a fleet you are happy with, please feel free to drop by our chat channel if you are looking for a friendly bunch of helpful people to socialize with.
Will we be getting a Security Officer DOFF contact (AKA Contraband Mission) NPC and a Daily Lore Mission NPC at New Romulus Command or on the Romulan Flotilla?
My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.
I have a number on different characters, collective quite a few but not enough to gain anything significant from them and I can't afford to keep buying keys to open boxes.
Excellent work on this expansion. Stability issues aside, the product is top notch. Very proud of you guys, wonderful wonderful expansion.
Four questions.
With the release complete, will there be more free Romulan ships and variants added into the lower as time goes on, so that people will not have to completely rework their crews as they level up? If there is a storyline reason that the Romulans simply don't have the resources for that then it makes sense, but going through the completely different classes as you ascend through the ranks can make continuity of abilities and growth of strategy as your character gets stronger, a little jarring. So if there are not going to be different ship types, can we at least unlock a universal slot on the warbirds until we reach tier 5.
Is it possible to unlock as in disconnect the Romulan and Starfleet uniforms? What I mean is, a Romulan BOFF on a Federation ship, for purposes of that BOFF's story, should have access to both the Romulan Republic uniforms, Romulan Federation uniforms, and Federation uniforms. Whether that BOFF is traded, purchased, or acquired from the Embassy. And on the uniforms, where is the Romulan Starfleet skirt? And furthermore, will the hairstyles be released. There are plenty of the Romulan female hairstyles that would work great on my Starfleet ladies.
Alright. It's no secret. The story. The mission structure. The Legacy of Romulus content is the best you guys have ever done. You know it. We know it. And we've heard it said that there's the possibility of going back and redoing the Federation side to bring it up to snuff. Where are you guys in those talks? Is it possible, is it something you're leaning heavily towards? Or is it just wish list? Or perhaps is it something you're definitely going to do, but you don't have a timetable yet? I'm not expecting you to like put off Season 8 or anything, but the Romulan Storyline is top notch.
Finally, the design is already in. Suliban bridge officers. Or at least Suliban parts in the alien gen. I've been waiting for them forever. Pretty Please? Is it gonna happen?
Thank you.

Are there any chances for a release of more ship pieces in the future. Maybe make the ship customization be like the weapons and now warp cores? Like new saucer sections in drops. Or any updates to the ship customization?
Why is it that EVERY SINGLE MAINTENANCE since LoR released appears to be "Shut server down at annoying times, try out completely ineffective fixes for various issues that may (read: WILL) simply make them worse"?
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Is your name Daniel Stahl and is your forum name yellow? I didn't think so! This game could benefit from some more soft canon additions. The Vesta is an iconic soft canon example of a successful C-Store product. The new DS9 also looks amazing in comparison to that Cardassian rust bucket.
Oh, I'm sorry, just because I'm not part of cryptic means I can't be nice and answer your question? I'm telling you, Cryptic is not going to completely change their game to fit in with the tangent that the pocketbooks are on. They only put the Vesta in because of immense fan pressure, I don't see them making any more major additions from Destiny or Typhon Pact, especially anything that eliminates their main endgame antagonist or blows up a major social zone and mission hub. From a licensing standpoint, my understanding is they can only use novel content by special permission.
Are there any plans to increase the Nukara marks awarded on the current missions? The rates are not competitive with Romulan or Omega Mark award rates.
Will you remove the 100 mail attachment limit and restore the original system?
How wwill Cryptic build the value of sci powers given the new stf sphere mechanics?
I am sure i am not the only one who wants to ask this, but with the romulans as a playable faction now when can romulan character get a scimitar? on a side note, will the rommy 1000 day vet ship have a plasma lotus and can rommies expect a ship with plasma quad cannons like the FED has phaser quads and the KDF has disruptor quads?
With the current ship repair system... will we ever see a revamp to it. Where the ship takes damage all the time and cost EC or Dil to repair your ship rather than components and the fact that you should take damage all the time [i.e. durability damage, systems damage] rather than just in advanced missions [and more doff missions that can repair those missions]
question: will you be making reputation account wide or will it stay character only making people have to farm like made crazy to complete it on multiple characters.
Is there any chance of fixing some of the issues with costumes and characters models, such as the fact that Ferasans seem to have their fangs attached to their lower lip when they talk?
Is there a chance of fixing some of the costume related bugs introduced with the new patch? For example, Reman females can choose from three different makeup settings, but you can't pick the color for any of them. And Ferasans can't pick their face markings at all. The only way to change or remove them is to use the default faces.
Is there any chance of doing a maintenance pass on some of the Featured Episodes cutscenes? The cutscenes in Second Wave, in particular, seem to be broken (animations that don't play or play out of sequence, a weird sort of "out of focus" effect on most of the ships and some characters as they move. And the most recent time I played through, the entire invasion cutscene played the moment I sat down at the conference, then played again when I'd finished the dialogue.)
Is anyone looking at some of the issues with ships and space FX that seem to have been added with Legacy? For example, the Odyssey's escort pet inflates to nearly the size of the saucer, one of the Mogai varients has glowing white wings from certain angles, and the icons for a number of buffs display as a solid block with no icon. I believe Diplomatic Immunity has done this for a while, but it seems to have spread to other icons recently.
