How do you do emotes? I see some dancing and stuff. How do you access these?

Next to the chat bar is a small picture of three people-things. click on that and hover your mouse over emotes, then click on one from the list.

Khaaaaaan!

I wish I could get that emote...

when ingame you do /me emote , emote being the one you want. i.e /me dance to dance.

here is a list of all the emotes and more detail on them: Emote list - complete list of emotes!

You can shorten that further in chat as so:

;salute
;tricorder
;sitcaptain
;dance_runningman

You must know the emote your after though (and how it is spelled).

I think theres some missing from that list, like dance_jester and I'm still looking for the dance the orion NPC girls on Q'onos perform. My list has about a dozen emotes I'm unable to select.

<edit> My bad, they're part of an emote pack- no longer available from the C-store.

Awesome, thanks guys. This will help me out on my role playing on STO. I loving doing emotes.
