with lots more to come in the future! I really hope people take the time to read these so that they can learn straight from cryptic what is happening in the game.

A lot of good stuff in those.

Combat seems pretty amazing. Can;t wait to hear more on sub-system targeting.

Skill progression, Bridge Officers and crews are nice.

Anyway. Lots of great stuff in those.

Great job nice information =D

Night_Hawke · October 2009

I am working on gathering all the dev chat logs together for a post as well but their has been alot of them.

Dominatam · October 2009

Prett good stuff. The STO website is pretty poorly laid out atm, so it's good to get posts like these. But, still a lot of reading if you're only looking for specific info.

I've heard they are doing some site reorg, hopefully that works out...

In the mean time, i need to copy/paste all this stuff into a word doc so I can Ctrl+F the stuff I want to learn more about

mach789 · October 2009

Lots of reading here, good job!

Hythian · October 2009

Nice to see those all in one place. That should help answer a lot of questions people have and hopefully get rid of a lot of the silly disinformation floating around about the game.

If you are looking for stuff on the website then why not use the search function? Thats what I do.

Rumor has it that Cryptic's planning on doing an overhaul of the main STO web site, but it's very nice to have all that information compiled in one (non Cryptic-run) place. Really helps get the word out. Hopefully we'll see some other cool website features soon.

cipher_nemo · October 2009

Thanks for compiling this list!

Kinneas · October 2009

Yeah I have been hearing that rumor too about the STO site makeover.

They've been saying that for a year now

liquidblaino · October 2009

There's a lot of really good info in there.

Guardious · October 2009

Very nice, I will sticky this, however If someone would be so kind (as sadly I don't have the time ) and would like to make all the stickies (except the congratz one ) into one place for good info, I will be happy to look it over and sticky that one to make room for future stickies We try to keep stickies to a minimal for obvious reasons. If someone does this and the community likes the gathered info there in , we will do so.

updated with new 16th ask cryptic.

Conavar · November 2009

Ask Cryptic this: If Star Trek is based on a society that has evolved past the need for currency, why are they introducing 'Cryptic credits/points, whatever' into the game? If any game doesn't need micro transactions, its this one!
