We have the honor and the privilege to once again speak with STO Executive Producer Dan Stahl! Dan has not only returned to Cryptic, but to STO's big chair. We have lots of questions for him about where he's been, what he's done and what he plans to do.

What do you want to know? Post your questions here and tune in on February 24th, 2012 to see if they were answered!

Drop by the STO Forums and see what others are asking about!

Short term plans for pvp? Give us the cliff notes.

1. Most players reach the grade Capp within a few weeks or less of playing. How will Cryptic be dealing with this issue and do they have any plans to change the Ranking system I.e. increased number of grades per Rank, introduction of the Lieutenant Junior Grade Rank (Rank of Tom Paris, ST:Voyager), or even the option for players to put a selectable capp on their characters. I recently reached the rank of Captain and I don't want to Rank up to any level above this for a very long time.

As a Legend once said "Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference." James T Kirk (Star Trek Generations)


2. If somehow the above could be implemented then the skill points that don't get used through the Optional Capp could be purchased, sold or traded with other players along with dilithium, cryptic points, energy credits or Lattinum. A True STO'ck Market


3. I named my ship the Roddenberry in honour of the Great bird of the Galaxy, but STO wouldn't let me add a second letter 'D' when naming. Any chance this could be fixed...

Thank You

Why not allow the skill points aquired to increase skills? after all skill points are all about experience. Raise the caps on skill and allow players with more experience have higher skill while retaining thier rank.

Are there any plans for KDF only content missions? Will the KDF be getting any more uniforms, perhaps versions that are meant to be race specific for the KDF member races?

Will we ever see the ability to allow the community to be able to add in GUI Mods of our own? Not to change the way the game plays but just to give our screen our own personality.
