Annoyances...
1. I can buy large hypos 100 at a time, but shield charges & regenerators only 20 at a time.
2. When beaming out with my FED Char/Ship, my Orion BOFF has a red beamout instead of blue like everyone else.
3. When filling (personal) rep projects, commodities get filled from my bank, but hypos,charges, and power cells come from my characters pocket (device slot) first.
4. The flashing mail icon....when there is no mail in the box.
5. Not being able to buy commodities in a bulk amount...even 250 at a time would be a welcome change.
6. Having to buy Torpedo Launchers (for Starbase Projects) ONE AT A TIME!
7. After logging off (for the day) and coming back the next to find some powers still on cooldown (e.g. call Azura/Suliban Cell).
8. Selecting course for ESD, but having your navigator ask you if you want to go somewhere else like Delta Volanis or Alpha Centurai (this leads me to want to throw him out an airlock!).
Just a few of my personal pet peeves!

That's weird. My diplo BOff (Gorn) beams out blue.
For me...
- still can't alter my KDF Maurader BOff's appearance
- still waiting for a mek'leth
- mammaries on Saurian females
- since LoR Gorn scaling sliders are ruined, and can't alter any Gorn character or BOff made prior to LoR.
- ESD Zone Chat needs moderation. Or fumigation.
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...

There's many more changes being made to the game than whats mentioned in the patch notes. I guess I expect too much when I read those notes thinking that particular patch will only change whats shown in those notes, or maybe an unexpected, unintended change because of whats in those notes.
I'm totally unprepared for unintended game changes caused by undocumented changes in the game, or unexpected bugs because of those undocumented changes.
Annoyed is what I get when coping with the noted issues and changes, ANGRY is what I get when dealing with the bonus issues created by changes I didn't know about.
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
AFKers n a 100 bugs that keep getting reported but dev IGNOR no point listing them cos dev dont gave a ****
When I break the tab off of my soda can and can't get it open.
People who think that the 'merge' lane on a highway onramp is designed to let them get as far as possible before merging.
Yippy dogs.

The used to bug the TRIBBLE out of me when I worked at Starbucks.
You mean rats?
I also despise yippy little canines.
2. Muted on PublicEliteSTF and the admin cannot unmute it as it's bugged.
Done nothing wrong as well.
That's all I am having at the moment. I am really starting to lose patience in this game:mad:
- People that demand democracy, and say that their vote is worth more than the next guy.
People that do not read simple instructions provided in order to achieve a basic task.

The overt sexualisation of everything in society in order to make a fast buck.
Having to check the forums (and twitter, and Facebook) to find out what was broken with each new "update" before i log on - assuming of course the servers are up and i can log on
Wow, that is basically my exact list of pet peeves! lol
9 Episodes = 30+ episodes...?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It's pronounced "S.T.O." "Stow" sounds idiotic! lol
They should be able to be used over and over.
2. Invisible, OP plasma torpedoes in STFs that only the best resistance built ships can survive against.
3. Cryptic Studios.
4. As previously stated, disappearing ECs on the exchange.
5. Cryptic Studios (did I say that already? Sorry).
6. All of the cool looking ground sets being Mk XII.
7. Beliebers.
Data: Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say, "To hell with our orders." :cool:
- missions that are showing their age and haven't been remastered yet
- the fact that the Scimitar implosion animation doesn't work properly
- the fact that the Foundry is underdeveloped
I'll think of more tomorrow.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

- My BO in sector asking me if I wanted to warp to some place I don't want to go to, but when we change sectors and my desired destination is up ahead, the ship just sits there, waiting for the command again, because autopilot doesn't work between sectors.
- Sector space autopilot overshoots it's target.
- Still too many one-liners from my crew that still need an 'acknowledged' or something clicked, right in the middle of combat.
- My mercenary uniform clothing options, that I paid for on the C-store, is missing from the tailor, after the new customization came out.
- Ground combat abilities.
- Invisible, OP plasma torpedoes in STFs that only the best resistance built ships can survive against.
- Mail is still broken.
- Can't do anything about afk'ers in a STF.
- Finding that some of my BOFF power's have randomly traded places.
- Having to completely log out to change characters in order to get fleet chat to work.
- Being told to "submit a ticket" for a problem, but still have the "Re-Direct Error" which leaves me unable to use the "Support" page, and getting nothing but automated replies.
- Defara Invasion Zone - City (Hard)...nuff said!
-when my UI resets after making a new characer

2. Loot and other buttons that changes places on the screen just as I'm about to click.
3. Navigation in general in sector space.
Halo emitters? I can turn my regent into a freighter any time I want. Not a consumeable but it is limited in how long it lasts until you have to use it again.
1. Loss of first person POV.
2. Mail blinking is a big isssue.
3. recieving items from expired exchange causing mail icon blink but not being able to see the mail so i know which of the 6 other toons i am not playing at the moment has mail.
4. The loss of first person POV.
"I'm drunk, whats your excuse for being an idiot?" - Unknown drunk man. :eek:
So, yes what the OP said about stacking items and buying them one by one or in much to small quantities is a real drag.
Get rid of all that unnecessary stuff that drops as loot. Let it be only currency and/or a valuable items. Here is an idea. Let me have an option for auto loot, but also auto delete. Every drop is automatic deleted but pays you 30 % of its value. As a fine tune you can block items that are over a certain value. I hate it when I am having fun playing a mission and have to go back to a base to sell stuff, not because I need money, but because my inventory is full.
Then we have a weird system in this game. Everything has a nominal value, but nobody pays it. Some vendor pays 40% and right beside him is another one that gives 50%. What is the idea behind this? Lower these nominal prices and let the vendors pay 100% of it.
Those vendors sell also stuff, but not everything. This one sells this, that one that. This would make sense if they were at the same location, but as it is now, it comes down to buying shoes in London and having to go to Singapore to buy a jacket.
Another thing. The action bar / power trays have a mind on his own. You receive an item which has no or very little use and the game is going to think for you and places it somewhere on your action. Hey, you like buttons? Here is a new one, ain't it nice.
This gets me too, happened to me while I was serving someone yesterday. I can't stick that, what I'm going to do from now on if that happens is slightly raise my voice so whoever is on the other end of the line can hear everything I say.
I am on board with all of those so here are mine.
1) Having my cursor duplicate itself because I happened to click on some person or ship and it randomly decides to go duplicated and slow-motion...
2) Clicking on a power and having it not function.
3) Slotting a Device and having it not show up on my Power Tray where whatever it replaced was.
4) Knocking target lock off using the many passive abilities to do so in the game (Like the HG shield, the Rep ability etc) only to have NPC's IMMEDIATELY relock me in ways that Players cannot.
5) Enemy ships having super Science skills that melt my shields in the blink of an eye when none of ours can do that.
I hate that so much you know it's hot day you go out get something nice and cold to drink then BOOM!:(

-Bridge Officers that should be customizable, but are not. (featured episode bridge officers, Marauding Bridge officer, embassy bridge officers)
-Clothing options being split into arbitrary uniform/formal/off duty/maco/honor guard/omega divisions, severely limiting customization for no good reason.
- Bridge officers with inexplicably truncated or restricted customization options (Lobi store Romulan, Diplomacy Bridge officer)
- No end game ground content you can bring your bridge officers on. Outfitting your bridge officers in all that fancy Omega gear is pointless, because there's nothing you can really use your bridge officers on besides foundry missions and episodes.
- Cannon weapons get Turrets, cannons, dual cannons, and dual heavy cannons. Beams get beam arrays and dual beam arrays. Where are the beam equivalents of turrets and dual heavy cannons?
- Diplomacy/marauding commendation is very rewarding-it gives an enemy faction bridge officer, a new uniform (only for feds) and access to new areas of the galaxy, in addition to the various duty officers. Why are the other commendation categories so unrewarding by comparison? Particularly irritating considering how several of them are much more difficult to progress.
- There are a lot of NPC Gorn/Nauc/Orion lower tier ships and fighters that the player cannot use. Why not let players use them? It can't be that involved, considering the models and textures already exist, and would help round out the amount of ships the KDF has to offer to be on par with the Federation. It would double the number of fighters available, for one.
- Lobi is character bound why?
- NPCs on Risa have swimwear-made specifically for the summer event-that players cannot use, why?
-Bizarre feature/item availability in regards to Romulans. Romulans have access to basically all Fed/KDF content bar a few mission rewards and tier 5 ships. Fed KDF get...nothing from the Romulan faction. Makes the Romulan faction seem more like a premium version of the Federation and KDF than a faction of their own.
-Only canon uniforms the RR has available are zen store items? and not even ones from TNG or DS9 either, but rather from the furthest extremes chronologically speaking of Star Trek, missing everything in between.
-No Tier V T'Liss, Constitution, Obyrith, or Miranda. The Ambassador, B'rel, Ktinga, Raptor, and Excelsior classes were all contemporaries or even older, yet come in tier 5 refits and fleet versions, what's up with the double standard? Heck, the Miranda class includes the Centaur class (TNG era) and the Shikahr class (modern), making it significantly newer.
- A carrier refit of the akira of all ships? If Cryptic wanted to make a carrier based off of a canon ship class, why choose a tiny escort that obviously does not have the hanger space to support squadrons? Why not use something like the Galaxy or Constellation which did have expansive hangers and could conceivably be classified as some sort of cruiser-carrier hybrid.
- Some more Klingon hand-to-hand weapons would be nice. NPCs can use them but not players. Would be nice if players could use them. Ditto for the Jem'hadar halberds.
-Again, what LoR did to the Romulans. Just so wrong on so many levels for someone who enjoyed them as villains on the show. The Romulan republic is the anthithesis of everything that was iconic about the old Romulans. Now they are just a species of generic space elves.
These annoyances range from comparatively mild and only occasionally noticeable to constant-immersion breaking and major-ongoing annoyance, but I feel that it is a mostly complete list of my own personal annoyances with STO, which for all its faults, is the best (and only ) ST MMO out there at the moment.
2: Different warp out colors at times. (on my Romulan)
3: The d*mn dilithium costs attached to turning in 5 lesser doffs for a better quality one. Managing Doffs used to be fun..... Thanks for ruining it cryptic.
4: The future of exploration in STO apparently hand in hand with the foundry ...
5: Borders in space.
6: Reputation bonusses.
7: Focus on ships for c-store, and the consoles that go with them.
8: Being more and more forced to join fleets in order to get benefits.
9: Dilithium grinding in general. Could we please get more ways to get dilithium via the Doff system? Its like, the main reason why i come back to sto anyway these days....
10: Can we please get rid of "locked" Doffs? so we can play around with our crews more? Stop limiting your minigame with stupid rules please.
Disclaimer. Although there is a list of things that annoys me. A lot of things have turned out quite well, and the above list is smaller then the positive list that i wont post here. I love the new ground combat, and the fact that the KDF is pretty much as fleshed out as i wanted it to be. I also enjoy the romulan faction eventhough it has taken the place of the old KDF. In that it does not feel finished YET. All in all i think this game will always be a work in progress .....
oh, and another thing, I would be great if we could use our fleet starbase as base of operations for running STFs and other PvE content, but we can't, because when if we gather at the fleet starbase and enter an STF, we don't come back to the fleet starbase when we're done, we all go back to where-ever we were before we transwarped there. so we just use a public starbase as our base of operations instead. if cryptic were to fix this, there'd actually be some motivation to contribute dilithium to those "limited time" projects, but since we can't use our starbase as, you know, A BASE, then there's really no point in spending anything to pretty it up
