Ship model bugs- Dev thanked poster for compiling them and said it was helpful.

Autofire- Devs are looking into giving us more autofire.

Future factions- Dev says they ran survey during beta and the front runners were Romulan, Cardassian, and Ferengi. Dev goes on to say that factions with more ships are more fun, hinting that the Romulan faction will be the first. (The Romulans have been hinted at several times before as being the next playable faction). Romulan faction will not be worked on until the Klingon faction is finished.

User generated content- Dev says the team is very interested in User Generated Content, and that a system isn't too far off in the future. Looking to other game designers for ideas on how to implement it.

If you guys find any other important dev responses, please let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Hey, awesome work putting this stuff together.

Too bad that a lot of people will still whine that nobody's listening.

Added a few more to the list.

Also, if anybody can find the following interviews, please send me the link. Am looking for them myself but it won't be easy. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The interview where they said the in-bridge view was being put back on the drawing board due to fans asking for it.

The interview where they said they would like to get more Star Trek actors to do voice work.

I THINK theyre whining not that they arent listening exactly, but that these things arent immediately being implimented, and anyone that tells them "wait it takes time" is a cryptic suck up

So what 're saying, that anyone who has the understanding that implementing everything everyone wants while working on other bug fixes and creating more content at the same time can take more than a few days is a Cryptic suck up? i think you have the definitions of "Cryptic suck up" and "Reasonably Intelligent" Backwards. I can understand how you can get the two confused since neither applies to you.

Does no one remember that the Devs have said, many many times, prior to launch that Klingons were a PvP faction. They were oriented only for PvP. Thus, the "content" for Klingons are because the players wanted PvE content. They have learned that a PvP oriented faction doesn't work, and are working to fix it. I have to boggle at all the people who are whining about it not having PvE content at launch...when it was never suppose to have much PvE content at all, as per the interviews prior to launch conclude.

I often feel that the Devs only give us "cookie cutter" responses only to shut us up.

Just finished going through a long dev chat from best buy, lots of info there. It's on the list now.

No problem
