Let's face it: You folks are allllll wrong. The original inhabitants of the planet, who built the gazebo and the snowman factory, first created the gingerbreads because they wanted to create life. But the gingerbreads were flawed so the Ancients disbursed nanites into the atmosphere which fell into the snow; the most…
Anyhow, you seem to think for some reason the changes will be all one way...that is nonsense. The Klingons and Romulans joining the Federation will change it just as irrevocably as it changes the Klingons and Romulans. For one thing, they get to vote, and will make up an important voter block in their own right. Also,…
I agree largely with what's been said here. I think there has been numerous statements made since the conclusion of Deep Space 9 that the Empire needs to change. The trick is to keep the Klingons recognizable, while still reinventing them enough to make their story fresh and interesting. I don't expect to see this ever,…
By dessimated fleets I meant the Federation, Romulans, and Klingons whose fleets were annihilated at the Battle of the Andromeda Sphere. I don't see how we could continue as a major military power after taking a hit like that when we threw everything at them and lost. Kantari and Lukari: valid statement and I grant you…
I don't know why everyone thinks the Hur'q are included. Maybe I missed something. I think a playable Dominion faction is unlikely since the beginning level missions wouldn't track well and all the other factions eventually get funneled into established missions. A Gamma expansion would be cool since there's a lot we don't…
Alas, I think the powers that be have run out of juice since the Iconian War. Since then and rather than an era of reconstruction, which New Dawn was advertised as, we've gotten a collection of arcs that just continue as unrelenting conflict staring fleets that should've been dessimated by the war. But I could go on. I…
They're all just kitbashes of each other. Exactly the same materials, exactly the same shapes. It looks like they bought a bunch of Enterprise models and glued them together wrong. Does management know about this? Someone should check the dumpster out back for empty model kits and Crazy Glue? What about U.E.S. Vanguard, or…
I'm glad that as always, Cryptic's attention to details--or lack thereof--is consistent. Tell me, how did Leeta manage not to age in the last 40 years?
This is just a repeat of what they did to the exploration missions. What irks me the most about all of this is the complete lack of interest in what players have to say. Every time I see a planed "revamp" like this I've checked the forums, and the majority opinion is a rejection of whatever decision the developers have…

Once again players are confronted with the old one step forward, two steps back approach. What is the point in erasing 11 missions? So what if they're not perfect? At least it's something. When the exploration missions were deleted I was pretty bummed. While it is true that they were repetitious and under-developed, it…
Agreed. What's up with this? I though the first few missions for the Romulans were really great and cohesive with more story than the original content. Now I'm stumbling through missions with virtually no expository dialog. I "defect" to the Tal Shiar, but Talmera says I have a cover identity? And that's the last time…
I'll be the first to admit that the Exploration clusters are a tad generic and sub par, but at least it was something. I agree with the idea that a Star Trek MMO without exploration isn't Star Trek and I think solving a problem by eliminating it isn't much of a solution. Are exploration missions really hurting anyone? What…
So they felt that the old armor was too bulky and heavy and in turn decided to put them in giant limb-cages that obscure most of their bodies, doubling their size, and leg thingies so massive that they look like they can't walk to boot. Props to the artists and programmers for their work. Most of it seems pretty frakkin'…
Jumping the gun on the next Ask Cryptic, but anyway, here it goes... This war between the Federation and the Klingons always felt like a necessary but forced aspect of the game. Why would the Klingons go to war just because the Federation didn't agree with its policy towards the Gorn? That said, the war seems even more…
