Kael guesses that Weyoun and Polearm aren't account unlocks because the pack had to be made cheaper because the account boost isn't as much of a normal boost, so because the pack was cheaper they had to make the contents a bit cheaper. But he will ask the specific reason.
Legendary Vesta is called the Carnelian(?), its a stealth intel ship. Kael doesn't know what Legendary pack it will come in.
California class with be coming May 10th along with the Stormfall release
Turning off other players visuals in space is an ongoing conversation, big issue is finding a way to turn things off, but still getting the visual information you need to know whats going on.
We will have access to the new bridge. Kael isn't sure if it will be immediately at release, or come later like the the Klingon bridge.
The conversation last week about changing what the Dominion Wingmen ships look like started a longer conversation between Jeremy and Thomas after last week's stream. Kael isn't sure what conclusion they came to regarding if you can change them, what options you would have if they do, or if they get changed to look like the legendary Dom ship model permanently.
Tutorial revamp coming out May 10th alongside Stormfall release
The playable Farpoint alien ship was originally the winter ship before they used the Eisenberg class. Kael isn't sure how its going to be released now but he thinks it likely to be an event ship.
Cryptic is hoping to jump on the list of things people want added to re-engineering that was made a few months ago.
Cryptic has talked about ships with different seating, or a way to change a ships seating, but they have to find the best way to do that from a technical side, and a merchandising side.
Kael thinks craftable ships is an interesting idea, but its such a wildly different way of ship purchasing that it could disrupt the game so hes not sure they would ever jump on that.
Borg ship in Picard is far too big to be a playable ship. More likely that it would be something in an event/TFO like the Voth ship is
Gamma recruit will come to console when the next content patch drops on console.
Kael thinks the next event campaign event will be two events from now, not counting RAs in-between.
No ETA on when any removed missions will be coming back.
Cryptic would like to rework the old exploration system into something new but its pretty far down on the task list.
Thought behind making the Vesta Legendary was that they were reworking the tutorial, the Vesta is in it, and it has enough skins for it.
More dil sinks are coming, Keal isn't sure of the ETA for them though.
If they allowed BOFFs on Risa they would have to allow less players per instance on Risa, and since Risa is a social map made for players that wouldn't be good.
Kael was told about what Joseph Gatt did, and said he would let Al know(presumably so they can decide if they need to do anything about it)
Kael 100% officially confirmed the Pathyaeger is coming since Thomas wasn't on the stream!!!! (sarcasm)
They are putting more stuff in the Phoenix Box. Kael can't say when, but he has an idea on what that would happen.
A lot of the Star Trek TV show/movie songs have a lot of rights tied up with their composers. So Cryptic doesn't have access to them without paying extra.
TAS series rights are weird, but Kael thinks some of that has cleared up no that CBS/Paramount have re-merged, so Cryptic is looking into some of that stuff.
Kael has tried to, but was told not to, set up a meeting with various players, the CM, and Devs, because they had issues with similar things in the past where players would take the faith that Cryptic put in them and turn that into expecting/demanding things. When they did get the reports from the German community it was always stuff they had already seen on the forums/reddit, and was never anything really new either.
STO will never get an engine update in the terms of taking the whole game and putting it on a new engine. But STO will keep getting updates to the existing engine. Going to a new engine wouldn't even do what many people say it will. The game would still look/play the same, just on different code.
The Competitive TFOs were an attempt to being a larger PVP revamp. But since PVPers didn't like them because they weren't normal PVP, and PVE players didn't like them because they weren't PVE, it just wasn't popular so they didn't keep investing into it.
No current plans to release the 10th anniversary legendary ships individually.
Kael has been beating the drum on the elite Maco/Honor Guard uniforms not being available, will continue to keep beating that drum.
Keal doesn't think they would do a Dil to Lobi exchange since Lobi is supposed to be the lockbox thing.
