I really do agree that these events need to have a shorter cycle, even if that meant a reduction in the dilithium rewards. It would also be nice if they weren't one time only offers. I can understand it with the ships (maybe because I have all the ones I want), but do Admiralty Cards and weapons really need to be? Some of…

While I agree that it's annoying that the game doesn't auto switch between space and ground specs, story missions aren't so hard that it's a problem. They couldn't be as the difficulty can't differentiate between a newly minted 60 with 10 spec points and someone who has maxed out all their trees.
-
If it's rewarding zen for very little real effort or doing things I was going to do anyway, that's fine by me. I'm easily bought.
-
I didn't mean I wanted the server down, just to stop developing new content while they do it. I'm not sure how my post suggested I thought it was actually going to happen, just my wishful thinking. The bridges I paid for are broken as it is with boffs sitting in the floor if my boffs even spawn at all. I certainly don't…

I seem to remember this coming up even before launch. While it's something I'd love to see, even at the expense of the Bridge packs I bought, Cryptic have consistently shot it down. Personally, I'd be happy for them to scrap a season or two and fix existing interiors, expand how much of every ship we see, add more…

I did want them when I first saw them announced, I was even thinking of holding my nose and opening some lottery boxes for the lobi. But, having seen them in the wild on other people and hearing the complaints I'm glad I didn't bother.
-
Me too. I've bought almost all the zen store costumes, but I don't really want to spend enough zen on lottery boxes to get enough lobi for one costume for one character. Besides the expense, especially for someone with lots of alts, it's a really long winded way to get it if you're not interested in what's in the boxes.…
-
While I hope for anything besides the lobi store, I'm not optimistic.
-
The head and body are treated as separate entities, it's why Trill spots have that gap on the neck. I'd love some options to give some of my characters some body art, it's been asked for for years and no word on it as far as I can recall.
-
This is also true for my Fed Klingon. It doesn't seem to be an issue for non-Klingons.
-
It would be nice if the existing bridges worked first. As it is, some Boffs spawn in the floor, some have them hovering in front of the chair and the fed ones are way to big.
-
I wouldn't want the new show to tie in to STO's story. STO is Cryptic's vision of Star Trek and I'd want them to do their own thing. That's not a dig at Cryptic, I like a lot of the story choices they've made (over reliance on Iconians notwithstanding), I just think it's better to start with a blank page. While I want it…

I do think the tailor needs someone to take a big look at it, there are so many weird inconsistencies and minor bugs and I doubt anyone has them all listed. They should be dealt with as part of any unlocking. I do acknowledge that a) the tailor as it is, is one of the better ones I've seen in MMOs for the amount of…
-
I agree with Nimbus III. It's a good looking zone IMO and could be a nice little social zone if there were more facilities.
-
I've been running the zone a lot recently and I can't say I've had a huge problem getting to at least one dino and I'm not using snow boots. I agree that they do need to discourage camping, I think having swarmers (that don't award xp) target anyone who loiters at the silo and then a minute countdown when the zone flips…
-
Faction ships don't gain any unique advantage in using a faction weapon type, Romulan plasma weapons are just as good on a Starfleet or Klingon ship as they are on a Romulan one. It would be a little unfair as it's not like there is a "Starfleet phaser" or "Klingon Disruptor" and it would discourage diversity in builds.…
-
There are zones where you can earn every mark doing the solo missions. Are they the best way of gaining those marks? Sometimes and sometimes other players can slow you down (but in my experience they're usually helpful when they're not stealing your command credits), but they do all exist if that's your bag. On the other…
-
I've generally considered some of my KDF characters as basically mercenaries/pirates anyway, that's why they sometimes fly Breen or Risian vessels. They don't belong to the High Council, they're my captain's and she's using it to help the Empire for the pay day and some discretion the next time she's caught smuggling. In…

The Fleet Dyson2 uniforms' chest, the ones that are opened, don't have the skin texture for female Liberated Borg Klingons, it's just empty space. Some multi-faction uniforms (Intel, Dyson etc.) don't have a multi-faction palette, so Klingons get lumbered with their boring one while Federation players don't. Since some of…

Visual fx all over the place does not equal pretty. Clear and simple is usually better visually and from a game standpoint helps you see what's going on better than the Jackson Pollock painting the game can sometimes look like. If that improves performance too, all the better.
-
I would love to see more robe options with some species specific (like Vulcan) options, but I do agree with the idea that we should let Spock's robes stay Spock's.
-
I agree engineering makes more practical sense (it's why I included it), but the bridge is more iconic for the showdown. Maybe the boffs have to stay behind in engineering to repair the ship, stop it getting too crowded.
-
They have pretty much answered it for you. Between grinding the reputation systems and doffing (5 contraband gets you 2,000), you should get to the cap fairly easily. The daily cap is the limiting factor.
-
That seems more reasonable. It could probably be set in stages, so you retake some key areas of the ship on your way to main engineering which allows you to unlock the turbolift and head to the bridge for the final confrontation.
-
It could be a universal station that alters to the needs of a specific mission, coordinating an evacuation or scanning a nebula or whatever.
-
I like the idea in theory, but as @thatcursedwolf pointed out, some of the ships are just a bridge. The Risian ships don't even get a unique one of those. If Cryptic were willing to put the effort into creating more ship interiors, I'd be happy.
-
If memory serves (it's been a while since I've been on it), my science officer is usually down there, so that would fit with astrometrics.
-
@mirrorchaos and @risian4 more or less covered the story reasons. From a more practical stand point, the Klingons suffered from a lack of faction exclusive content from day one (they were expected to level mostly through PvP). The RSE wouldn't work with the Feds or KDF for long what with all the backstabbing and betrayal…
-
Definitely. I've decided to put my alts on the grind for some of the rep ship gear they don't have (because I'm a TRIBBLE) and Iconian marks are so much worse than Dyson, 8472 and Terran are a breeze compared to Iconian because of the adventure zones and they don't reward as generously as the borg STFs. The Dyson front…

Any word on when the KDF are going to see their uniform colour palette expanded? I do consider that much beige to be a bug. Especially for an Orion.
