seconding this, along with T5 Intrepid, and Galaxy class. Also..

Will Klingons be getting new non dreadlock haircuts?

Will Klingons be getting any new forehead ridges?

Will ship interiors have more than one skin at the launch of season 2?

Will we ever get the option for proper LCARS consoles (blue/purple/yellow/orange)?

Will we get the option to disable engine trails anytime soon?

What sort of new ships can Federation and Klingon players expect for Episode 2? We've already seen the Galaxy-X class dreadnought, but what sort of escort and science-ship-related ships are in the pipe?

Will there be any additional items available for crafting/improving in Memory Alpha?

GreatMaker69 · 06-23-2010, 05:47 PM

Will certain ground mobs in Exploration missions on Elite difficulty be re-balanced to not one shot my whole team?

Will we be seeing cross-faction teaming for the Taskforces?

Will we be seeing some of the more annoying bugs get fixed? Like when i click a power in my tray and it doesn't activate, or sometimes my Tri-cobalt doesn't fire... things like that are really annoying and would improve QOL.

Will we be able to craft more items?

Will we see different item abilities anytime soon? Or are we stuck with Acc, Crit%, CritSev% and the altoghether unspectacular DMG...? Ground could use some anti-race weaponry. Like Undine, Reman, Cardassian procs stuff like that.

Like Mineria asked, will there be T5 versions of the 'hero' ships? (Galaxy, Intrepid, Defiant)

Will Dabo be only accessible at Quark's? or other places, such as Risa?

What kind of items will be available in the Gold Pressed Latinum Item Store?

Will the interiors include captain's quarters (probably been answered somewhere else; sorry if it has), and, if so, will we be able to do any customization to them from the start? (I'm not expecting to decide the window trim's color, but wondering if any of it will be customizable.)

Will we be able to trade commissioned bridge officers to other players to have them train skills, then be able to trade them back to the first captain? (Going back to the initial idea (talked about during the beta) of officer training/trading being part of the crafting system)

Captain_Zero · 06-23-2010, 05:55 PM

Will we be seeing a third faction in Season Two, or will this be in a later Season?

With the ship poll, will we be seeing the winning ship class, and maybe the others as well, in Season To?

Regarding ship interiors, will there be a TOS or TOS Movie era set to use with both Constitutions and their counterpoints?

I don't know if this has beed addressed or not.

Are there any plans or confromation the fleet base rumors that were going around?

Direphoenix · 06-23-2010, 05:57 PM

Will we see a fix to BOff AI so they will recognize (and assist) group members that are not part of our ship's crew?

Will we be seeing more melee weapons than the Bat'leth and our fists?

Leviathan99 · 06-23-2010, 06:00 PM

How soon can we expect missions that take place in our new ship interiors?
