Absolutely hated the Destiny novels and i am so glad they are not only not canon, but not even "humored" in STO.

[Biggins]

Well, I hit VA Really enjoying this game.

[Daystar70]

Gratz! As hardcore as i am about STO, i have been really bored lately BUT i am busy w school anyways so i am playing more casually, User generated content tools will be around the corner (and i will be making missions 97% of the time, i also plan to make missions for "myself" that star my Bridge officers individually highlighting their backstories as episodes), one thing i really respect that they did with the episode weekly things, is prep a "reason" to get a Breen bridge officer ahead of time and make sense story wise out of it prior to getting them. The extra care done in the storyline allows for not killing immersion as we see Breen officers ,and later Breen captains (when we are able to convert bridge offs to alt captains, from first officer, which is supposed to be part of season 3 in november, stahl did say both Gorn/orion/nausicaan officers gained as part of the diplomatic ambassedor rank cross faction reward, are alloweed to be turned into player captain fed alts.) meaning we can later convert Breen boffs to alts if we choose to. A bit of a stretch but again its a game, at least an "attempt" to make sense of it is found within the game now rather than carte blanche "do whatever you wanna do dudes". Lol.

I totally agree, to be honest the entire breen mission arc has been very entertaining and much more trek styled than some of the other missions.

Did they really give a reason why we got a Breen bridge officer? I had a feeling it would be something like that when we started it - the other option was a free Breen ship/holoprojector/etc. - but I'm wondering if there's something behind that. Maybe one of the guys like the one we questioned on the Deferi ship, who questioned why the hell they were killing the Deferi.

I completely skimmed over the End mission text. But isn't the Breen you get the Breen that helped you help the Defari in one of the episodes?

Close, I think it's meant to be a member of that faction of Breen who aren't happy about the way things are within their society like the Breen medic from the mission where you're administering first aid to the Deferi after a Breen raid.

[Daystar70]

Dr.Tran or whatever his name was, totally set up the precident in the i think 3rd episode, where he mentioned an entire Faction that wanted to defect to the Federation, or at least seek sanctuary. I don't know about you, but to me that is a pretty good excuse to have a Breen Officer .

[Biggins]

Agreed, I wish I could give him a commbadge though 

I was thinking about the whole user created content thing too, it'd be nice to have a few user made trophies to stick up on the walls of your ready room

The Nebula is on Tribble Test Sever for Free, you can get it Via console next to the Ship Requisition officer like they did for the tier 5 refits.

Also, Intrepid Nacelles.

The Wings also move on the Birds of Pray, but not the model I'm using so no screens.

Oh, and Ignore the Klingon symbols on the Nebula. It is a bug.

[Joshmaul]

I think they should have Klingon-captured Federation starships. Like...this, perhaps:

cool though I hate the deflector XD Someone needs to keep poking them about it on the tribble.

The deflector is only on Texture 3. Which sadly is the texture I like.

I got the animations working on my BoP, I had to reselect the template at the ship yard.

it's not the texture I don't like... it's the shape....

[Daystar70]

I agree w the Captured ship idea..the way i see it we have 3 examples in canon of captured ships...Khan/reliant, Kirk/the bounty, Gul dukat/Bird of prey.

I was discussing this with a GM the other day in chat, he agreed i think a limit based on what has been shown could work, example ok..birdfs of prey are easy to capture due to small 12 man crews being easily overtaken...mirandas or any smaller fed ship in theory likewise because if a crew can board her before self destruct then overwhelming the small crew is logically easier w escorts. BUT the downside is setting up a precident to allow it would get out of hand in sto fast, and people would be bitching left and right about killing the immersion. I think it should still happen with some carefully thought out limits. Certain ship types, and certain "types" of missions only allowed to bring captured ships into, such as espionage missions, Deep sapce encounters in certain areas, etc, that would allow pc's to use them but restrict making them 100% your normal used ship and appease the main populations concerns.

[Lionus]

and next step would be making assimilated ?berships.. 

[Daystar70]

See a post i made earlier assimilated ships ARE coming in tier 6.

[Tuskin38]

They based it off the CG model.

[Lionus]

See a post i made earlier assimilated ships ARE coming in tier 6.

Oh No.

[Tuskin38]

What? Where?

AS far as I know they were thinking about it.
