I agree, i do like seeing the Art concept to reality. You know, the artists work HARD on this game, and without them, i highly doubt most of us would want to play an 8 bit pixilated game.

Having the people you work hard to please tell you, 'We dont care about your work, shut up and give us what we want' probably feels pretty bad.

Keep the Artwork coming, and I wouldn't be opposed to a 'Art Dev Weekly' Where you show us how you designed this ship or that space station or map.

Nice to know that they are 5 Tiers of Starbase. However, the most important information is missing. Namely, what are the main differences between each Tier (equipment, size, etc.), what are the costs for upgrading to each tier, and is there customization options to make each Starbase unique.

Just because one game does something a certain way, doesn't mean that all other games that do something similar are going to do it the same way. Wait until we release more info soon, and when you are able to check them out for yourselves -- I don't think you'll say "meh" anymore

Cheers,

A copy/paste of an exclusive, or any article for that matter, to an official "Dev Post" is not something I can remember Cryptic ever doing (I could be wrong). This happening after the Massively "lockbox vs countries" fiasco (on their end, not Cryptic's) and the immediate (and obvious) shutdown of communication to review policies or whatever, has the community concerned that the open communications so long enjoyed, and so long taken for granted, may just be ending.

Sorry for that run on sentence, but I hope I made a clear point. Peaple are afraid that the fundamental relationship between community and devs has been fractured and/or destroyed. Now, even something as innocent as reusing an article to convey the same information has many worried that the good old days are gone and the iron curtain has closed. Right or wrong, this is why many of us are seeing ghosts in every corner.

I hope "Under Siege" refers to some kind of siege mechanic with starbases and isn't an indication that the devs have adopted a siege mentality. :-)

Now we're wrapping up the artwork on what I think is going to be one of the most exciting features we've ever added to Star Trek Online: player starbases
sounds like theres a long way to go then. its cutting it rather close to season 6 don't you think

and wtf this is the same thing that was reported massively

there is something seriously wrong when a company's idea of 'exclusive' means telling some other website whats going on before they tell their customers

Quote:
iThink that KDF do not have StarBases (iN ST series).
are you serious? they had several

Quote:
we kinda deserve some sort exclusive information on top of the normal PR .
there is no 'kinda' about it. we are the customers. they get paid because of us

Quote:
Oh come on people... Not everyone reads this forum.
everyone is a customer. telling someone else before your customers is unacceptable

Quote:
Geez KDF enough already everything that comes out you say you want an kligion one. suppose they issue a new lockbox what then you what a KDF lockbox. the KDF whining for everything is getting sad give it a rest
don't be ignorant. klingons aren't whining about anything and you know it. they've been shafted, lied to and given the run around since the day the game opened and when someone points that out, someone like you comes out of the woodwork and accuses them of complaining

Quote:
All the tight lips I mean posts non exsitance since Tron"s statement was blown way out of proportion at Massivly,
nothing was taken out of proportion. claiming such is nothing more than making excuses

Quote:
Please, think, be considerate, and realize they can announce it as many times as they like in any form that they like.
are you done making absurd excuses for bad business behavior? you don't go an announce things to everyone except your customers and expect a good response. thats unacceptable

Quote:
If you do not like how its done, cool, do as Dan Directed... "vote" with your wallet.
thats an offensive statement. telling people to get out if they don't like it - and thats exactly what you just did, is nothing more than an offensive statement intended to insult the community

Quote:

do you take us for idiots or something? because thats what it sounds like with that statement. 'exclusives' are not done at the expense of keeping customers in the dark for any amount of time about anything. thats a fact. what cryptic did is bad business

don't talk to us like we're stupid, we're not.

That Future content is mostly from old engineering reports that are in no-way valid now.
old does not equal invalid. thats just another way of people trying to tell others not to hold people to what they say
