STO Gateway is Now Available
By PWE_BranFlakes @ October 19, 2012 at 2:30pm
We are proud to announce that the beta of the STO Gateway is now available to the public!
As revealed in this Dev Blog, this new feature allows players to remotely access their in-game status information via their desktop, tablet, or smartphone. In its initial release, the STO Gateway will allow players the ability to view their player status and equipped items, ship status and equipped items, bridge officer status and equipped items, and accolades. This list of features is only the beginning of what’s possible — there will be more features and functionality to come.
To access the STO Gateway, visit gatewaytest.startrekonline.com from your computer, tablet or smartphone's internet browser. Please note that as this is a beta release, character information and data will be pulled from your Tribble account. To sign up for the Tribble Test Server and transfer a character to it, visit this page.
Also, please see our STO Gateway forum threads here and here.
We hope you enjoy the initial offerings of the STO Gateway and we welcome your feedback, input and suggestions.

Really horrible actually... Doesnt load anything past the character selection screen on my phone... And the characters are all ones I had on my account years ago... My current ones would be nice.

Is there a way u can get sto on ipad
lordrevan35 @ Feb 9th, 2013 3:28PM
I just solved it. You guys need to take test out of the frak web adress so we can access it right.
lordrevan35 @ Feb 9th, 2013 3:25PM
The DAM thing won't load the page through Firefox so I can see my characters.

Use gateway.startrek online.com to get info from the main server (Holodeck).
littlesarbonn @ Dec 4th, 2012 12:49PM
Won't let me in at all. I put in my account name and password and it just indicates it's incorrect.
andoriansrus @ Dec 4th, 2012 7:36AM
yeah I keep getting the undergoing maintenance thing every time I try and log in
captinsamgrant @ Nov 30th, 2012 1:16PM

I get the same responce. It looks awesome. But if I get the same responce everytime I try to access it I am just going to say to hell with it.
defcon1776 @ Nov 30th, 2012 9:06AM
Just looked it over and the data it shows for my ONE char is about 3 weeks out of date. DOn't know about my other char, didn't show up at all.

lordrevan35 @ Nov 19th, 2012 12:34PM
How long do we have to wait until it is launched on the holodeck server?
darthsaber89 @ Nov 19th, 2012 11:22AM

commanderajex @ Nov 18th, 2012 6:58AM
All I'm getting is a blue screen with the word "BETA" at the top
clannmac @ Nov 12th, 2012 12:44PM
This is REALLY cool - can't wait until it goes live for the Holodeck! WELL done, Cryptic!
kirk1701c @ Nov 12th, 2012 4:56AM
they should make an IPhone app like in WOW
lincolninspace @ Nov 11th, 2012 11:29AM
Cannot login. I like the concept especcially if I can use the doff system and exchange etc on the fly.
rybrarian @ Nov 10th, 2012 11:41AM
While I think that DOFF management would be nice through this, it will most likely only offer missions that available exclusively through the app. There's not going to be a way to move from sector to sector... you really have to think of this as kind of a snapshot, and not as an entirely other means to play. The people who are accessing for bank and exchange access? SERIOUSLY? I mean, the line must be drawn HERE! There are some things you should just have to log into the game to do, and bank/exchange are definitely things you should log in to do. The next request will be, "Can I do everything through Gateway that I can do in the game?" Uh, no. And you shouldn't be able to.

While I do agree, there should be a limit to what you can do, I don't think they have gotten near it yet. Personally I think having the bank/exchange access this way is nice, because that gives you quick access to it especially if you are really just after a specific item and are not wanting to pay the game. Otherwise it can take you a bit of time to have to log in and access the exchange, all to get one item or more and then log back out.
rybrarian @ Nov 10th, 2012 11:37AM
I know that this has already been suggested a bunch of times already, but PLEASE when it goes live if we could view all of our starships. Or even if we could include the shuttlecraft on our account somehow. This is great to show off all the BOFFs (I even bought a bunch more just because of the gateway view - they look really great on there!). The only thing it really doesn't highlight is our individual ships. Just having the one is not enough.
nilecipelli @ Nov 10th, 2012 3:12AM
This is so awesome, I can't wait to see the Holodeck version! Two things I would love to see though is some sort of interaction with the game (Doff missions, fleet interaction like event planning) as well as an option to make your character 'public' so you can see your friends' officer files. After all, a Vice Admiral would have access to those files anyway :P
daan2006 @ Nov 8th, 2012 12:30PM
ppl looking to be lazy i want this to do doff i want more reason not to log on the game
skyecolyo @ Nov 8th, 2012 10:08AM
Duty officer management. Please.
lordrevan35 @ Nov 7th, 2012 1:18AM
I love the idea of using an IPad/Taddlet to look at my characters. But looking at them is one thing. Customizing them would be better. For example, doing some duty officer missions, access to your bank and the exchange. And access to your inventory so you can equipt an item to your Captain and/or bridger officers as well as your ship.

That's a great idea lordevan35! Love the Gateway though, great stuff, keep it up!
saphirin @ Nov 6th, 2012 6:57PM
I agree with some of my fellow captains. Being able to access the doff missions with be fantastic as well as mail, bank, and chat. Excellent addition to STO
