Not sure if I am just bored at work(shhhhhh), or just feel like I have let myself get too far away from spending time enjoying this game. I came up with a zany idea to go with the other one where I suggested we could get streaming, paid episodes for Star Trek showing on our bridge main viewer screen.
What if we could go to our bridge, and have either:
- a pop-up from our communications officer(which would be that officer whom is assigned to that console on our ship when we visit our bridge) informing us of an incoming message.
- a blinking message indicator and count showing up on one of the corners of our bridge view screen
- a blinking console in our captain's bridge quarters that is on the bridge like the Enterprise(and sometimes elsewhere on older ships)
- or an information text pop-up that shows up the moment we arrive on the bridge
This message would be a player made comminque that is done as though the message came from Star Fleet. It would be a non-Inbox/Private Messages way of communicating for role players between each in-game and out of game.
The unique aspect of this idea beyond the ways of receiving it that I mentioned above, would be Cryptic creating a composing & filtering program that would format the messages into officer Star Trek communique similar to what this forum community did with this thread:

Anyway, it is just a thought and thanks for reading. Take care.

But I guess my idea was just too crazy as it only generated one reply.
