- New update called "Warzone" internally, revamping the Warzone arc for Klingons
- Second Star to the Right, Keep your Enemies Closer, being merged into one mission "Mars, the Bringer of War", other missions staying separate
- Runabout section is gone, instead its a lightning prison raid to rescue prisoners
- No timetable for the removed Fed missions, but its not something they have forgotten about
- First City revamp would be a 6 week project for multiple people, and is something that will take time which is why they haven't done it yet. But they are aware it sucks
- Sirella has a new model, and is now voiced by the actual actor from DS9
- Temporal Ambassador problem on console is a higher level console technical problem they are looking into
- Kael talked about the "key bundle" problem with the blogs. Apparently a dev simply copy pasted an old blog, and Kael didn't think to ask if that was correct because they had been trying new things with bundles, so he didn't know anything was wrong with it. He also says anyone who bought the bundle while the blog mentioned the keys, and contacts support, will get their keys
- Ship Interiors on console aren't there due to memory problems due to a lot of hidden stuff dealing with doff assignments and trophies
- Kael and Jesse want Targ pets for players
- No plans for any Enterprise content right now, focusing more on original storylines rather then tying into a show
- Update coming on 10/6/2020 is implementing some things to try to fix lag issues.
- Foracs III tournament is still in the game, but the 1st/2nd/3rd place thing is being reworked. Might not make it into this release, but will come later if it isn't
- Fed allied Romulans and Remans can't wear Starfleet uniforms because of CBS rules
- Dorn said "you did him dirty" when recording Alexander's death scene years ago
- "House Always Wins" big Gorath ground map revamp
- Can't make a Tuvik BOFF because there is no system to perma kill bridge officers
- More Martok, Akaar, and Witch of Nimbus
- Anniversary update(separate update) has two brand new VAs
- Playable voth mech is technically possible now, not something they are working on
- Audio team tracking down double audio problems
- Easter eggs have to be approved to prevent problems
- Alpha was moved into Warzone arc, slightly retouched, mostly bugfixes, and some new art, but the map itself is the same
- Cryptic is aware of visual spam annoyances, having discussions about how to fix it
- Can't add "dual list"(10 man TFOs) to the random TFO list
- Want to make cross faction fleet etc. etc. but its hard coded into the game
- Closer to a DSC era klingon faction
- Plans for more squadron fighters, and a squadron ship at some point
- Non humanoid BOFFs possible, or closer to being possible, due to the tech used in "Renegades Regret" and "Quark's Lucky Seven"

I figured Cryptic would have to do something along these lines. Otherwise I think that was fraud. This seems the bare minimum approach since Cryptic knows which accounts bought the bundle during whatever time-window, but at least Cryptic, Kael, publicly addressed it after that "hiccup".
Yes, 6 weeks, we got it.
Yes!
That's not just about the "key bundle" blogs, there are mistakes way too often in others, you'd think he'd have learned to ask for confirmation at this point.
Well, since many bridges don't even have trophies options and Doff assignments is just a NPC that could be removed, i find it hard to believe this is the main reason.
If this indeed works, and it's not actually an external issue, some people are gonna have to eat their hat.
That might explain why he didn't seem much invested and in-character.
Then, where do all those manuals I have come from? Just admit it's because he's hardwired to the Romulan storyline too much and thus, trying to remove him would cause some severe issues.
Noooo? That's like saying after TFA that there will be more of "Rey, Finn, Luke and Ren" in the Sequel Trilogy.
Could also be a nice replacement to Nelen's revive ability.
They got into legal troubles with one, didn't they?
Now, that could be an interesting concept where the more HP you lose, the fewer fighters make up your "fleet ship". Honestly hoping to see that soon.
L'Miren and Neth BOffs soon, pretty please?
Huh? Did I read this correctly? The latter part especially?
Interesting. I'd like to be able to use a Voth mech. More Voth stuff in general is something I'd appreciate.
I wonder who the voice actors are. If they're not working on Enterprise content, and assuming it's not one of the captains... Maybe one of the people who portrayed Cardassians? Or Terry Farrell. Given the current Klingon-heavy storyline, there could be a nice opening to introduce her.
I just don't find it very original. The Elachi are original, the rest not that much imo.
Totally forgot about Troi and Riker. They're also likely candidates given their involvement in Picard.
I'm hoping they can get Nichelle Nichols. From what I've heard, she isn't in very good health. Not to come off as egotistic, but I'd wish they can add them to the STO family before it's too late.
Just 7 years ago she still looked pretty good (and younger than her age), but time eventually does catch up. On the small and big screen she was always very beautiful, too (IMO, that is).
We're more likely to see Ezri Dax than Jadzia Dax, considering Jadzia was killed by Dukat in DS9. Although it would be nice to bring in Ezri, especially since she was in a Story Blog back when K-13 was found, confirmed to be Captain of the Aventine, and a certain Dr. Bashir mentioned being married to the Captain of the Aventine. And as Dax has experience with Klingons...

I'd like to make a clarification here.
I don't know about female Romulan Captains (as I do not have one), but Male Romulan Captains can wear starfleet uniforms such as the Odyssey, the Discovery uniform, the TNG uniform etc. but Romulan bridge officers cannot.
The Female Reman I have has access to the 25th century Klingon uniform, but none of the other options available. I know there was an update that allowed Jem'hadar and Romulan players the ability to wear those outfits.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Its a matter of space barbie. Some people aren't satisfied unless they can have their crew wearing the same thing that their Captain can wear.
or
"WINTER IS COME!"
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
Maybe not necessarily the same thing as the captain, but I can see why people want their boffs at least to wear the same thing. It's not really a 'uniform' if everyone wears something different.
Personally, I don't really care for Boffs whose looks can't be adapted. I want my crew to be unique, with their own bio's and unique looks.
