CRUISERS NEED A 206% HULL BUFF
Soooooooo when are ya'll gonna do something for countries that have fans but don't have conventions like this then???
And before I get flamed back to the underworld from which I came, I ask this because we want to take part in things too but distance and the financial cost of just jetting off to Las Vegas or Seattle is often an issue...

Send BranFlakes a message informing him that the convention is taking place. The world is a big place, and I'd imagine Cryptic are too busy to spend time hunting down every convention in every country in the world (and I for one am happy for them to spend their time working on the game rather than doing this).
Perhaps this way you can get your DOFF, and the convention might get some exposure (at least on these forums if not the main site) which will help it in the long run.
Worth a thought?

I know there has been conventions/gatherings in my country, but those are rare from my understanding.
As I live in Europe, it's very expensive to go to the US conventions, and wile there are conventions in Europe, they are often expensive, and at bad times of the year.
If it was a big one in Scandinavia, I would be there, but I have never heard of any big ST conventions in Scandinavia...
The UK might be doable, depending on where it's held...
So, not as easy as you might think for other countries outside the US...

I'm outside the US myself. I realise that it's not easy, I was suggesting giving helping hands to Cryptic to make them aware of things going on around the world.

The US is a big place, there are lots of places here where they don't have conventions and people who live in those states would have to travel a large distance to attend one as well.
STO has a rather generous convention prize, they don't even have to go to the convention for attendees to get it, making them the only game I'm aware of that hands out their convention prize when they aren't in attendance. Imagine if Las Vegas or San Francisco where you only real options.
If players are someplace there aren't usually conventions, they can try writing to local fan groups and getting a petition together to get a convention added to a region.
At the end of the day convention prizes are for conventions, and if a player can't or won't attend a convention, they don't deserve the prize.
I do not consider Chicago to be a town near me. StL or bust!

But I'm busy those two days. -.-
My post was regarding people like me who live in countries where we do not have ST Conventions at all...

I don't think it has to be a Star Trek convention, I'm pretty sure Cryptic would offer up the DOff for a Sci-Fi Con with a Star Trek presence.
Besides, I know of a fleetie who ended up with a ton of extra code cards from STLV, so you could always hit someone up who attended that con.

Can you guys, you know, not go skipping off to every freakin Con in the country? No wonder why there's so many bugs, no one's ever in the office. You guys are always off goofing off at Cons and probably getting paid to boot cause it's 'work related'!
I'm assuming this was a joke, but will respond as though it is not.
No one on the dev team, to my knowledge, has attended any Star Trek Conventions in the past year, other than Las Vegas 2 weeks ago, and San Francisco last November.
Brandon may attend more, I don't know, but for the most part, while we're offering the Holo Leeta Doff at all of these other conventions, it's from afar.
I'm tired of you're excuses Taco!
Next year I want you to attend negative two cons to make up for your wasted time this year.
On the topic of conventions other then the US/UK ones, is ESPATrek (Spain) still around? FedCon seems to be going strong still in Germany. On the other side of the world, Australia/NZ has OzTrek and occasionally panels at Armageddon Expo.
I saw mention of Scandinavia, try http://www.scifiworld.se/ I don't read the language but they have had Star Trek panels in the past.
Or at the Wizard World one in Ausin last year. They had the full ST:TNG cast including "Wesley" at that one. I have the expensive $300+ full cast photo to prove it.
