the cake is a lie
I know this is a delicate subject not only within the STO community but as a global community as a whole, but would it be possible to get more masculine dances - um, less theatrical dances - dances with less flare? Possibly with the option to select your dance preference in options, setting it to one of three options depending on how one likes to swing to the music: X, Y, or X&Y...?
For some, it might even reduce the tension and awkwardness they feel while being forced to dance by somebody dropping a Party Amp...though, one can easily see where that might come off a little biased - doing nothing for those that may feel that tension and awkwardness of having their characters being forced to do something for the viewing pleasure of another player - so far Cryptic has been reluctant to offer players the ability to opt out of performing in such a manner for other players and their varying pleasures.
There's always pie!
Note: C'mon, pie is constructive feedback when we know the cake is a lie!
Yep, the dance emotes in STO are definitely not my thing - but definitely all the same, best wishes for a fun, happy, and safe New Year's for everybody.
well whatever, but i will make a cake with some icing for myself to eat at the time it turns, sure there will be fireworks going off everywhere to bring in the 1st of 2014. it wont be a lie, at least i hope not .
you mean pelvic thrusts, jacko's moon walk and that stupid head bobbing from side to side? sure cryptic could of done better then this but, all i wanna do is drop an amp and watch you dance. get that fat outta shape admiral of yours out of that chair and on the dance floor .
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
(Hint: A Vic Fontaine program would be a great addition to our fleet starbase!)

(I do not belive there is the ability to have a global voice announcement channel yet...But if your going to keep being a social butterfly for us all ... AND I mean that in THE most complimentery way...... it's something to push for. The in game VOIP app package can be configured for global announcements, and can be limited to game zones IE: Quarks.
Just a heads up.. just days ago STOked radio did an event at DS-9 where over 200 people attended. It was a enjoyable if utterly insane event. I did join the Team speak server for that one but never actually said anything... Not that kind of crew ya know.
In game text chat will be scrooling on the screen at trans warp speed so you'r going to need a better widgit to communicate.. and using system announcements on the game screen is not the best solution because in the game engine we players have figured out that the way to NOT be constantly bombarded with lock box ship announcements is to shut global OFF.. I'm sure there are some folks in the Marketting Dept who might be surprised at how many of us
have global announcements shut off.
Might not be time to use some of this feedback now, but hopefully you can use it as you have announced your going to make this a regular thing. And from a political POV the one thing you want to do is use anyone else existing resources.. (Trek Radio, MMO Radio, STOked, Subspace-radio and GRN Media etc... I know there is more, but thats just the ones I know about).
Best of luck with the event.. I will try to attend on my new TAC "Kuii" who might just have her fleet Mogh by then...
Rock on community manager dude!
Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade

I'd like to see an option to be immune from those idiot disco balls entirely. Getting ridiculous when you can't even visit the bank or exchange without some derp spamming them on you.
Hope to see you at the next event
