Excellent News Dan!

I am looking forward to being able to play Dabo.

I hope it is the first of many minigames

I also can't wait to see what you guys put in the C-Store.

Testing means within about 2 weeks correct? Wonderful news.

Please try putting greater pitch limits in space combat on Tribble for a little while so we can see if it really is as confusing as your internal testers claim it to be.

I'm not even saying we need a 90 degree pitch limit, even 80 would be great.

But please, let the testing public try it out and then give us a poll to see if we liked it or not. Maybe it would finally shut a bunch of us up once and for all on the topic.

Excellent stuff. Looking forward to it.

I have to say that I'm excited to hear about the Dabo Mini-game and hope that it's the beginning of a few things that could emerge out of STO.

I'd also really like to see some form of Springball and Velocity.. Cryptic could even create some kind of server-wide tournament of game such as that. What a great way, in my opinion, to encourage healthy competition that everyone could take part in whether it be Klingon or Federation. 3D Chess I'm sure would be another interesting one that players may want to have in game.

To me this is the kind of stuff that will make Star Trek Online better and make it more immersive to the universe. It will also give people an option to do something else other than grind the repetitive missions that are currently in the game.

What happened to Off Duty outfits? o.O
