Just wondering what's going on. I also didn't get my lifetime membership zen, which is also strange. This forum is my main source of STO information, I hope someone can fill me in. Thanks.

Not every day is packed with exciting news.
"The higher the fewer."
It's as if their comms are out, perhaps they got hit by a photon torpedo with shields down and are floating helplessly.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
Anyway, not going to get into this debate yet again- the horse has been flogged enough, and time will tell which side of the fence this will lean towards, all speculation aside.

Oh, please... No news for a single day is not going to cause a mass exodus of customers, nor stop people spending money... Don't be so melodramatic...

Not a bad thing in the short term (in my opinion).
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Good one, couldn't had said it better.
It should be no surprise that this week is quiet. Not every week is full of news, or free stuff. Relax, everything is fine.
I think it more has to do with the massive amount of stuff released last week.
That being said... it's always wise to keep an eye on Tribble, and watch for new features (or, even, a new code branch).
I would also point out that the universal console on the anniversary ship could be a harbinger to a pending ship pack release in a few weeks... like the Samsar was last year.
I don't think anyone with a screen name like "I'm Ruined" gets to tell anyone not to be melodramatic. lol
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.

Though you were clearly trying to be witty, it's little more than a music reference (and by no means intentionally melodramatic), since one of my favourite bands is called My Ruin... I've been a fan of the singer since they were leading Tura Satana back in the 90's...
I'm wondering if anyone ever got their will by shaking their fist, rambling "this will cut your profits!"

well tbh The consistent silence for the past well months since Delta rising until RIGHT BEFORE a features launch has made me well less excited and less willing to grind this game. I know that all the people who get up in arms when something doesn't come out when it was speculated or hinted out as a possibility to come out. Then attack the devs for lying when they have clearly stated that it could get delayed or plans could change. Sorry but those people have made it worse for those of us who like to look forward to things, even if they never come to be or are delayed, it's just nice to know that planning is indeed happening and not just a show good words of investment in the game.
I know it's damned if they do damn if they don't situation, but it just irks me when People complain about things that come up. It's game development nothing is final. Not even the content that is already apart of the game. If it weren't for them I could at least have something to speculate on or be hopeful for. Currently the only thing I KNOW is coming is, more featured episode while these are great they don't excite me as much as systems. The only system i know is coming at some point is new specializations and revamp of skill system. Who know what happened to the idea of cruiser com array items or escort targeting computers or update to crafting allowing for the picking of mods..
Seriously if you know what system features are 100% coming or even possibly in the future I'd love to hear them...
Everything is heading this way though... Anyone who's ever worked customer service for a business would have surely encountered this attitude (do what I want, or you'll lose all your customers coz, reasons) more than they care to remember...
Hell, even schools in the US are heading this way, if they don't submit to the 'feelings' of their supposedly oppressed minorities and special interest groups, 'it'll cost them'...
Not surprised it's the usual stick used against Cryptic, when there's no rational reason for a particular request (demand usually), just threaten that all their customers will close their accounts (even if entirely baseless)...
I agree with that. There's a reason the demand for leaks is so high and supplied since forever. But that's not new, ever since PWE took over (well before DR) the communication between devs/Cryptic/PWE and the players has been reduced to premade PR-speech segment and advertising blogs and only 48 hours before the event/release.
But as you said, most of the times the threat is baseless and usually nothing happens at all. Because the customers want the service/the game - they don't really have alternatives that wouldn't cost them more effort than just rolling over. It's the same with STO - forum experts are certain this game and the company is doomed since shortly after it launched. So we're in year six of certain doom

Yeah, everyone kinda needs to chill. This time of year is usually quiet, 'cause there's back-to-back events that both span a month-plus. They're not going to release much at all except for those events. Basically, it's like a 2 month window of opportunity for all the teams to get things ready for the new year.
Also, anyone who says STO is somehow lacking in communication with it's players... y'all need to go seek out other games and see how bad it can be. There are a ton of community-based games were the company is barely heard from, let alone ever responsive to the players. STO is in a good club of games with regular news and active personnel in the forums and community at large.
