Not a whole lot there.

Find it interesting that all the feedback we left on the initial reputation system testing went completely ignored and only now after the backlash its being considered

There is a ridiculous number of inventory stacks used daily that makes no sense to the reputation itself

The very lengthy reward/effort threads were a clear sign of what was going to happen, why it took so long to even start thinking about it is beyond me. Its pretty clear there are major imbalances in reward/time, even more so there is zero incentive to play ground missions for the 95%+ who never bothered to learn it..

It is a REDACTED game. You know? That thing you used to play for fun? Don't find it fun? Theres plenty more games out there.

DEVS, I can testify the ground zone is AWESOME. Fix the bugs, and it will ROCK.

Not surprising .

Also not surprising .
Something about two hands and a road map ...

Sadly Cryptic don't have a road map , only two hands and a whole lot of ego and darkness .

I am assuming they haven't transcripted it yet. maybe they or someone else who is a fast typer will transcribe it for those of you whoe are hearing impaired.

so "the subscribers decided that this game is worth something".Guess those people who never subed but spent hundreds of euros/dollars think the game is not worth anything.

This should be called Priority One - Talking without using the brain. *facepalm*

Maybe it gets better in part two but i feel the pop guys still use those interviews to have their private chat with gecko to advance their own agenda like all this useless talk about too many currencies in the game instead of asking the really interessting questions from the thread they made.

There is a part 2, so many of those questions you consider interesting might still come up.

First off , good interview .. Second would like to touch on a few things.

First : Rep system : why make everything so easy , no challenge with this game anymore .. log on and get a reward ? Seriously ? I see nothing wrong with the 20 hour completion rate on the current rep system . Right now i only spend less than an hour at most to do all my dailies . Doing this will not make me stay on any longer. I think putting the good stuff in the rep system was a mistake or at least taking the drops from the STF and putting them into the rep system , which ties into the second point i wanted to touch on .

You say that in a month some of the content was not played but 4 times , well , that's because you took the reason to play it out , by putting the drops in the rep system . That has made STO a less fleet , friend grouping situation into the less path of resistance . And to be honest less fun.

Just my thoughts , not flaming , not trolling .. take it as you would like tho .. i am very flexible .

I could hear something about the Carrier as an reward after you have completed the new featured episode.

Geko said something that the Carrier reminds you from what you have seen it before from an early featured episode.

It can't be the Romulan and the Devidian episodes. Maybe the carrier are from the Dominion or the Breen episode.

The Jem'Hadar dreadnought are an carrier.

What about the big Breen ship as you can see at the end of the Cold Call on Defera?

Right now, the general consensus is either a Breen carrier, or most likely, a Preserver carrier. You know, those guys you find in the final Deferi FE mission...

*Edit*: It has also been speculated that it could be an Iconian carrier. *Edit ends*.

Yes, both reputation and fleet.

And now we have new tactical consoles...
