Question #1: How does Cryptic feel about the current level of power creep in the game? Many of the older ships, such as the Bird of Prey line, are becoming obsolete with newer ship releases that either perform the role of existing ships better, or have advantages of existing ships, but lesser drawbacks. Will Cryptic consider going through all the ships in the game to ensure that no single choice is superior to any other? Note: This does not mean homogenization, but rather ensuring that each ship has something that would ensure players of all types would want to use it.
Question #2: Cryptic mentioned reducing the costs for Fleet Advancement a short time ago, but since that initial statement we've heard no word on any progress towards changes. Are there any updates you can give? Have you considered scaling costs based on the number of active players in a fleet? (As opposed to characters, as alts can artificially increase the size of a fleet)
Will we ever get more payment options for the subscription?
I'm thinking of options that does not require to set up a monthly auto payment with a credit card.
The Romulan Embassy Bridge officers and the Diplomacy/Marauding officers currently have little to no customization options.
Likeswise my Federation character recently got the Lobi store Romulan Borg, and I found out that their only clothing options are the civilian clothes (No Romulan Republic uniforms, No Tal Shiar Uniform)
So are there any palns to expand the customization options of these Bridge officers?
Also, will there be an option down the line for Romulan players to work for the Romulan Star Empire?
Will we see any boffs for the Romulan Faction with efficiency trait?
Any chance we will see a reputation system with romulan faction specific only items like KHG sets for Klingons (ok this is already known as adapted MACO for FED)?
-how many man hours were required to create LoR?
-any highlights about what you are planning to keep the Romulan faction an interesting choice to play in the long future? like story content, items, ships, etc.
Hi, can you developers and game creators take a pause on creating new content to just resolve the actual problems and bugs of the game? like a few weeks, then return to make the new seasons...because people are abusing and exploiting the bugs.
Two people have commented on this already, I'm going to chime in as well. Is there any justification for lobi to be bound to character rather than bound to account? Would you please consider making them bound to account?
i am hoping if we get enough people asking for account wide legacy .they might actually put it in...cause if you like me and have 5 characters.. having to farm enough for 5 characters to unlock the legacy on all 5 is just too much
1) Has Cryptic ever investigated the possibility of enabling players to take part in historic battles/scenarios in "historic" ships, e.g., via time travel (like controlling the Enterprise-C in "Temporal Ambassador")? Controlling the Enterprise-E during the Battle of Sector 001, the Saratoga at Wolf 359 or the IKS Rotarran at the Second Battle of DS9?
2) Are there any plans of ever incorporating the ship interiors into gameplay in ANY way? E.g., by standardizing them to a few choices per faction (canon C-Store templates (TOS, Defiant etc) plus 1 free standard interior per faction), which could then enable building missions in them?
3) When will we see environmental settings in the Foundry, e.g., map checks on EV suits, shuttles, melee weapons or different away team sizes?
4) When will the search functions in the Foundry be improved, e.g., tags for grind/story missions, subscribing to a specific author, or creating a sorted string of multiple Foundry missions?
5) Any chance of seeing new canon enemy species such as the Sheliak, Son'a, Talarians or Tzenkethi any time soon?
Can we please get some type of dynamic page (which is regularly updated)
showing exactly the priority you are giving to each of the current game bugs
which are actually being worked on?
A list of game bugs which are planned to be worked on in the near future
would also be of great help.
I believe this would go a long way to aiding customer satisfaction.
Thanks for this really nice update, LOR as given a Veteran a good reason to continue enjoying the game.
As i'm fleet leader of a (very) small fleet, slowly growing taking time to actually know the people that join, are there plans to add more provision control to specifically set number of provisions per fleetmate to ensure fair use and access to said provisions ?
Also, it as been brought up before, is there some advancement in the idea of allowing players to use their other ships as "pets", ala carrier commands to assist you, either as a captain ability to summon them (kinda like fleet support), or to have them through a hole mission ? (would probably be broken for stf's and the likes, and pvp...)
Thanks for the awesome work with this latest major update, and please continue to add on to this wonderfull game we've been enjoying for the past 3 years !

I loved atmosphere assault! Any chance we are getting more fighter/shuttlecraft content in the future, I am particularly interested if there are any plans to upgrade our current small crafts to tier 2-3 adding more console slots, weapon slots, fighters/shuttle types, etc.(Jem-hadar fighter, andorian fighter, romulan drone ship, hirogen hunter craft, give us more I say more!!!!!)
With the introduction of the Elachi we got some really cool looking weapons working against us now, those Elachi cannons look very cool, and the rapid fire cluster missiles from the walkers bring back so many memories from Starfleet command, I know you can also find a rapid fire missile turret in one of the new Romulan missions. My question is any chance this weapon can be added to our arsenal??
Also the Elachi have a significant amount of unique ground equipment, seems like players got the short end of the stick in the expansion when it came to new Kits and ground powers, any chance we are going to see these powers and equipment players side ?
Fleet Warp cores, WHEN ?!!?!!?!!?
Can you please explain to me why is it that my romulan needs to Grind out New Romulus faction? I helped discover the planet settle it, defend it. And yet I have to prove myself to my people???? Come on that is not fair in the slightest. If I have already grinded out the rep with my fed/kdf character then it should also count for my Romulan, I understand not making all reputations account wide (would be nice to have though) but Romulans shouldn't be held back and penalized because of the system if you have already done it once, twice, or even three times before. It's only LOGICAL! allow us to simply pay the mark cost for the tier upgrades upgrades, or increase the mark cost somewhat, but please don't force us to become friends with our own people and world.
First. Congrats on the new story for romulans.
But you still need to adress what happens daily with the servers. On Tribble, in beta, for some reason, the build was more stable.
What are your plans towards federation ( or klingons) now that you introduced a third faction? The story is undeveloped since the launch, and now it seems you switched focus on romulans. Aside from the fact that they have cool ships, i never liked the romulans, i only liked blowing them up. Any hints on what do you have in mind next?

2) When will we be able to disavow the travesty that is New Romulas and proudly rejoin the Romulan Star Empire.
3) When will our Homeworld of Rator get an accurate graphic instead of some asteriods.
4) when will we be able to visit our homeworld of Rator.
Second!

Will the starbases ever be able to generate revenue?
The incredibly long list of bugs, are y'all making headway on at all?
Why were so many of the bugs identified in the closed & open Beta's not been fixed before the expansion was rolled out?

Has the KDF population increased enough since LOR to make more KDF z-store costumes?
