Thanks everyone!

In your interview with 12th Fleet, we asked about increasing fleet size. Your answer was that the question should be about fleet alliances.

So...Are there any plans for fleet alliances, and what are those plans?

What is the current status of the Andorian Kumari and Ambassador-Class ships?



Can you tell us about something we have never heard before?

ETA of the new Enterprise, Ambassador class, and Andorian ship?

What kind of changes will be made to tetryon, polaron, and transphasic torpedoes to make them all more effective?

What are your future plans for fleets in general and when can we expect the rest of the Pre-Order items to hit the C-Store?

1) Are there any plans to add alien species naming, allow us to name alien creations something other than just "Alien"

2) Are there any plans to allow us to create hybrid species, inter species races are something that is very much apart of star trek canon and would be neat to see in STO.

3) With the addition of the TOS interior and the TOS dressed crew, does this open up the possibility of allowing us to customize the uniforms of NPC's in other interiors.

A) Is there any word for future bridge packs like the ones shown in the TOS movies?

B) I know that the refit is still a touchy subject, but could you guys shed any light on what might happen? I understand that there should be obvious misgivings about the idea of the Constitution class outmatching a vessel 200 yrs new and twice its size, but a replica that's really more of an Excalibur class vessel might be able to add something to the mix. So, with that in mind

C) If there is going to be a refit system, would they act more like support craft? For instance, the constitution may be able to add something to the battle that isn't directly related to its capacity to kill or hold aggro thus adding to its usefulness in such things like STFs.
