I thought it was a good Q&A. It answered my questions what I had. Glad they getting the mail fix soon. My box is getting full of stuff I can't delete. I usually keep my mail clear of clutter.
So far I have been very pleased with the new LOR. Got a Romulan character and got her up to lv8 over the weekend. So far I been having a blast with it. Meanwhile my Fed and KDF still having fun doing the new stuff or finishing up what I already started.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
Just wanted to thank Dstahl, for apologizing and at least giving the community some sort of aknowledgement that there is a problem, why, and what is going to happen to fix it. I myself have been pretty hard on Cryptic recently but I do appreciate the apology. I didn't even read the rest of the blog yet as first I wanted to come here after reading the first few paragraphs, and Thank Mr. Stahl, for like I said at least admitting there is a problem and that they are doing there best to fix it.
I would have liked to have heard this last week, but anyways moving foward as long as Cryptic would communicate with its players and let them know what is going on like Mr. Stahl did here, I would be much happier as a player of STO. So thanks again Dan, I do appreciate your apology.
I read that bit too and found people actually WHINING about when they will get the bug fixes.
Here is what I say to that!
Would you rather the crew of USS Cryptic do a much of a broadside alpha strike as possible and do a Picard Maneuver on the I.R.W. Revenge of Hakeev (A Bug Maker class Warbird modified with Borg technology) at once if possible or play whack-a-mole with the him and his little itty bitty Bug fighters like they are doing with the Server issues? I would rather completely destroy the enemy rather than playing with his little Bug Fighters.
IT HAS BEEN BROKE SINCE LoR FIXIT!!! BRINGING DOWN THE SERVER EVERY DAY SINCE LAUNCH OF LoR REALLY STUPID FIX IT.. WE CAN HANDLE EXTENDED DOWN TIME TO FIX THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF THE BS WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH....THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS WHY YOU PUT THE CONTENT ON TEST SO THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CONSTANT ISSUES..FIX THE DAMN MAIL PLEASE!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:
I was wondering when the Sci Captains will be getting a actual ship that puts them on par with Engineering/Tactical Captains.
I was hoping at least the "Fleet" versions of ships (Especially Tier 5) would get past the 3 - 3 weapon set up. The Boff set ups would have been nice if they were universal...but for a T5 Fleet ship....Sci ships are horribly left lacking in so many ways.
Not complaining would just like a true reason to play Sci divison as the only ship that seems to come close is the "Wells" BUT if the Lt. Universal was a Lt.Cmdr. Universal then that ship would be a solid starting point to giving Sci Capts. something to boast about....I could look past the 3 - 3 set up then as the Wells would then have something to work with besides being opened and tossed after console is taken to go to the Mobius.
It just seems like the Sci ships are hindered by something with every ship unlike the Engi./Tac ships in more than just looks lol (I.e "eye ball ship" - I mean ugly looking) & (the "Deep Space Science Vessel" - The extra "pod" thingy underneath it is an eye sore).
I just wish you guys would make a Sci ship that actually was able to kick some butt lol....Vestas were a start in the right direction, BUT tbh imho the 2 things I see that turned me off from this ship bundle was 1. the hull strength is majorly lacking....a bump to say 33-34,000 would have been nice. 2. The universal Ensign BOff station being a Lt. instead....everything else keep the same....and ta-da...as Sci ship that can actually be a reason to play Sci.
Come on guys...I know everyone is all about Cruisers/Escorts here and I for one do enjoy seeing all the new ships come out but for once please give Sci. Capts. at least 1 ship that can lead the charge...I've given you 2 ships that with a minor tweak could fill those roles as long as only the items I said would be good to change are changed only and the rest of the ship is left alone.
I hope something is done because overall the Fleet T5 ships are becoming less & less attractive as time goes by, and nothing for Sci. capts. seems to be coming....so I hope you guys take this to heart when at the drawing board for somethings to do with ships.
I'd like to see the KDF get a true science ship and not a copy and paste level 40 Deep Space Science ship retrofit. At least the Vesta is a great ship and one of many options. KDF players are stuck with BOP's that need a buff as they are so out of date and not very good in a role of a science ship or a carrier which again isn't a true science ship. Bring me a D5 Battlecruiser science ship as posted in the KDF Fleet yard section and I'll be a happy camper.
Plus I'd like to know when the KDF will get more c-store uniform options, perhaps even some free ones and fixes to the current uniforms. Been wearing the same uniforms for about 18 months and it was old 12 months ago.
I unfortunately missed the question thread as always, never advertised well that one is. Nor is it open for very long. A couple of days at best. Maybe an announcement on the forum backend (yes it's possible I run the same software on my own forum) so members can see in every section that the Q&A thread is up.
Support the Game by Supporting the KDF, equality and uniqueness for all factions!

Dstahl: The new Romulans and Remans are the first new species we?ve added to the game in a while and we?re taking a good look at all of the possibilities that still exist.
**You should expect a new species sometime later this year**
Q: (captaind3) Suliban bridge officers? Or at least Suliban parts in alien gen. I?ve been waiting for them forever. Pretty Please? Is it gonna happen?
I have quite a few lockbox ships, my most recent acquisition being the Tal Shiar Adapted Destroyer. I vastly prefer the romulan bridge design will we ever be able to select our preferred bridge layouts on lockbox ships?
"It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting."
Q: wouldn't it be better to build further on the current storyline (what happens after the Undine chapter) instead of continuing to create new factions (Cardassian, Dominion, Breen...) with story-lines parallel to the current one in the same time period like was done with the Romulans? We will never know what happens after the discovery of the Iconian gate in Fluidic space like this.
Q: is the shared tray problem for ships ever going to be addressed? Switching ships is a pain today.
Q: will you offer Klingon science vessels and more diversity of Romulan warbirds in the C-store?
Tyr shall give me strength! For the glory of Tempus! I am the hands of Shar! Flames of Kossuth, protect me! Oghma, grant me knowledge! Lolth commands, and I obey!
-Why is the Request Reinforcement button visible (greyed out) when the option to do so is not available.
-When I go to ESD and select Dock, why does an extra dailog box pop up asking if I want to dock at the station? There's no where else to dock. I mean there is no option to dock at the Orion Pleasure Barge...
-When leveling a toon, why bother displaying that purple message from center screen to top left in a tiny font that is virtually impossible to read telling the player that he or she has just received xp?
-About the chat interface,.. Why is it that, often when I am trying to type a sentence, suddenly and without warning, I am no longer typing, dialog boxes are popping up or suddendly I am running forward or in battle mode or the long sentence I was just about to complete disappears entirely?
-Why do I need to see a notification every time somebody loots a Very Rare ship from a Lock Box? I don't care if someone I don't know gets a lucky drop and I don't need the game to reassure that the ships are actually dropping.
-Why can't I train my Factional Boffs, on my Romulan toons, that is to say on my Romulan KDF toon I can train my Remen and Romulan Boffs but I can't train Klingon, Orion, Nausican, Liberated Borg, etc....
-Why can't I train my KDF faction Boffs at the New Romulus Command Center Boff Trainer?
-Why can't I train my Romulan or Remen Boffs at the Qo'nos Boff Trainer?
-Why does my Romuan KDF toon not have access to the Back Armor costume option?
-Why are the costume options for KDF and Romulan/Remen toons so limited?
-Why doesn't the Transwarp cabability cool down expire when I am not logged on to that toon. So I transwarp to DS9, queue up a couple Doff missions and log off that toon. Two days later I log back on and I still have to wait 12 minutes to Transwarp to my Starbase. Why?
-Why is there this arbitrary limit on how much Dilithium I can refine every 20 hours?
-Why can't I access my bank from my ship interior? I mean isn't it just reasonable that I would store my stuff on my ship? What exactly is the point of making me go to a Space Station or a Planet to access my bank?
-Why don't my ship abilities/console cool down when I go on a ground mission. For example if I use Point Defense System in a space encounter, then Beam down to the surface or beam to a ship or a station or whatever, spend 10, 20 minutes doing the away team part of the mission then beam back to my ship, the Point Defense console still has a cool down?...
- Puzzle missions, for example Colissieum, why does my entire away team beam down when there's nothing on the space staion to fight, but I digress. What is up with all teh puzzle missions anyway? I've been playing this game since Beta and not once have I encountered one player who said, "Oh that mission was great fun, I just loved spending 2 hours deciphering the cryptic hints and selecting the cryptic options. Hot, sour, A little pick me up will do, stemmed glass, a drop of honey,... Blue green yellow,... Edit this file to say this or that,... Nobody play MMO's to solve puzzles. Well that is a sort of blanket statement but aside from a few trolls am pretty confident in saying that the vast majority of STO players agree. The puzzle missions are just annoying. Seriously, just stop it.
-Fleet Daily, Inspect Cadets/Beks glitched. I will start with the Fed side. Some times when you call the cadets out some of them don't salute so you are never prompted to salute back so you can't complete the mission. You can't dismiss them either. I tried going down to a another level and farting around for while then comming back, same thing. On the KDF side the glitch is different but it has the same affect. The Beks come out, they salute you salute them "Qaplah" but about half the time one of the Beks has nothing you can correct him/her on. Collar Correct, Uniform Correct, Boots Clean and Shined, Posture Correct. So your done. Again I tried getting a new group of Beks but the glitch is still there. In both above cases you have no choice but to drop the mission and try again in 20 hours.
-Romulan toons can't do Fleet or Embassy Dailies BTW. I am just guessing that you intended to make Romulans a new faction then changed you mind and went with the Allegiance thing and it got half baked so Fed and KDF sides don't fully recognize Romulans as Fed or KDF. Actually I am glad you went with the Allegiance idea because I wouldn't want to have to manage 3 Fleets.
- The login screen, not the launcher, the login screen you get when the game disconnect or your login times out, well, I merged my Cryptic acount with PWE several months ago and I cleared my Cryptic ID and put in my PWE username and checked "Remeber my username" and still about half the time the when I get the login screen the username field is populated with my old Cryptic ID.
-Commodities,... how about this,... How about you make it so all Commodities Vendors (including the summonable cargo ships) have all the various commodities so we don't have to fly all over the univers (especially on the KDF side) to buy commodities for Fleet/Embassy/Reputation projects. How'd that be?
- How about a mission on Risa that will unlock a costume something similar to the Orion Female bikini for all races?
- why are there not Gorn, Lethian, Ferasan or Nausican females? I may be wrong about Ferasan, never really saw a female but then I never really tried to make one either.
- How about putting a vendor on the Fleet Starbase that will buy Vendor Trash?
- How about a select all button to the interface when contributing Doffs to projects? If you have more doffs than the project requires it will select what is needed to fill the project starting from the top down. It takes a lot of time to select 70 doffs one at a time.
- Commodity stacks, lets double or the stack limit to 500 or even up to 1000 and make it so they can be purchased in those numbers instead of 100 at a time. Again it takes a long time to buy 7500 commodities 100 at a time. IMHO uping the consumables stacks in similar ratios would be nice too.
- A word about Camera Settings. I prefer the Free Camera setting but randomly, usually at the very beginning of an Elite STF the game will decided to change my Camera setting to Follow Target. Very annoying.
- Action bars, can we get rid of the scroll up/down arrows on the action bars or put some selection in Options to hide them? Just the arrows right, it's really annoying when I miss the fire weapons buttons and hit one of those arrows.
- Would it be okay to make it so that when I go to look at my ship inventory my Action Bar doesn't get reset even though my action bar is locked and I didn't change anything?
- The Inventory Sort button,... exactly what criteria is used to when you hit the sort button? Every time I have accidently hit it, it makes a mess. Could you like, put a confirmation box on that. Are you sure you want to randomly place the entire contents of your inventory in all the slots from the top down? Yes or No.
- Oh an this would be great,.. can you make it so I only have to decline a mission like "Go to DS9 and talk to Cpt. Kurkland" once. That is to say if I decline it once, can we assume that the next time I log on, I still don't want to do that mission?
- Sirius Sector roaming Cargo Ship, the pop up dialog box "My apologies but I must be going" (verbiage ?), even if you are not interacting with them they interupt you and in some cases they blow away your session with the Azura. Sighs.
-Why do I need to see a notification every time somebody loots a Very Rare ship from a Lock Box? I don't care if someone I don't know gets a lucky drop and I don't need the game to reassure that the ships are actually dropping.
THIS! One of the most annoying things in the game.
Tyr shall give me strength! For the glory of Tempus! I am the hands of Shar! Flames of Kossuth, protect me! Oghma, grant me knowledge! Lolth commands, and I obey!
-Why is the Request Reinforcement button visible (greyed out) when the option to do so is not available.
-Why do I need to see a notification every time somebody loots a Very Rare ship from a Lock Box? I don't care if someone I don't know gets a lucky drop and I don't need the game to reassure that the ships are actually dropping.
The notifications are there so as to give you the impression that a lot of people are getting these ships. It's a cheap statistical marketing ploy: with so many people opening these boxes, there's always someone lucky every minute or so, whereas, on an individual basis, your chances are dismal.
And yes, it's annoying.
-Why doesn't the Transwarp cabability cool down expire when I am not logged on to that toon. So I transwarp to DS9, queue up a couple Doff missions and log off that toon. Two days later I log back on and I still have to wait 12 minutes to Transwarp to my Starbase. Why?
It's to prevent would-be cheaters from circumventing the cooldown by simply relogging. But it's broken: program should have accounted for elaspsed time since last login.
... So, if you gonna create a poll, I kindly ask that you please add the following option:
"- None of the above. Fix old stuff first."
P.S. This suggestion will probably be ignored; but let it not be said I never officially asked.
And below that... "- Stop forcing us into shoulder-cam view, give us back our over-the-head-to-first-person view that worked perfectly. (with a saveable configuration option)"
P.S. This will probably be ignored too. I still haven't found any rationale for why they did that. Anyone have any idea what their rationale was to think that was a good idea and/or _needed_ to be done in the first place? Like, from actual conversations with whoever decided that?
if there is a chance of getting the archiles from Dominion wars game. (would make a great skin for the Star cruiser) Then are we allowed to know precisaly what ships CBS have said is a possability? Maybe have a poll on most disired?
Guys, you might want to save your questions for the June edition of "Ask Cryptic". I think this thread is about the answers he gave for the May edition.
Member since November 2009... I think. (UFP) Ragnar
Will Star Trek Online ever have a Mac Download? This would be nice, and theoretically open up STO to more people.
It would also cost them a lot of time and energy, not to mention money, just to accommodate the 5% or thereabouts of the market that Apple has managed to pry away from Microsoft. The biggest stumbling block here is however difficult it'd be to port the graphics engine from Direct3D to OpenGL.
I could see a native Mac version taking them a good solid year of development (just to port the engine, nevermind any third-party code they've got licenses for, that may or may not have native Mac equivalents) that's entirely aside from whatever they're working on now.
my romulan toon is 17 days away from completing the tier 5 rep systems. and i have a few questions...
will the romulan STF Gear be Released before then? or when i get the current STF Gear will i then be forced to Grind up more items in order to get the romulan set that i should of got in the first place??

Thanks, and all the best.

Nice. At lease u got your answer!!

And accept that if the top answer is Cardassians, you've got a lot of work to do.

Here is what I say to that!
Would you rather the crew of USS Cryptic do a much of a broadside alpha strike as possible and do a Picard Maneuver on the I.R.W. Revenge of Hakeev (A Bug Maker class Warbird modified with Borg technology) at once if possible or play whack-a-mole with the him and his little itty bitty Bug fighters like they are doing with the Server issues? I would rather completely destroy the enemy rather than playing with his little Bug Fighters.

One of many reminders that i'm not a REAL Romulan. >_<

1. Any chance of being able to buy Orion Woman Bridge officer & other races in the future with Zen? {Feds}
2. Is any plans to fix ie change over uniforms all on USS Enterprise so that all uniforms are TOS? There still a few uniforms non TOS.
3. Any plans for Rebooted Enterprise & Uniforms to a bundle in the future?
4. Finally with 50th Anniversary in 2016 is chance that STO F2P may expand to next gen Consoles around that time?
Will Star Trek Online ever have a Mac Download? This would be nice, and theoretically open up STO to more people.
