Good theory, and also picard would probably still be as fit as he ever was even at 104 years, because medical science has probably found a way to double our lifespan, heck i wouldnt mind seeing picard as a character in STO, just to see the likeness.

Well it's pretty much confirmed that there'll be more voice acting in STO, during their trip to Cryptic Studios, the STOked guys actually performed a bit of VO work.

Also, the Cloned BOff bug should be fixed Soon^TM.

I think Picard is dead in STO canon, notice how the dev said "he would of been a hologram"

Plus it was mentioned in "the Path to 2409" that the Enterprise went missing.

Picard was ambassador to Vulcan, and no longer in command of the Enterprise. If the Ent-E went missing, then Data would no longer be there unless he stepped down as captain.

the Enterprise never went missing, if you read the path to 2409, they just stopped talking about it.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2605 on:** December 20, 2011, 09:40:58 AM »

Wait, you're right.

It used to say it went missing but then they edited it to make it vague at the request of CBS.

majormagna · « **Reply #2606 on:** December 20, 2011, 01:32:57 PM »

I'm sure I already said that a couple of pages back.

The request from CBS was that there shouldn't be a 1701-F if the E is simply MIA. And the fact that the crew of the Enterprise (ANY Enterprise) would be able to get out of any trouble they may find themselves in.

The post in the STO forums specifically calls for an Admiral, so Picard was out from day one; as in the STO lore, he never made Admiral (I like to think he took Kirk's words to heart in Generations). I can easily see Tuvok, Data or Riker as some sort of Admiral by 2409, Perhaps even Geordi LaForge... (Head of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers perhaps?)

Bet those are either expensive in-game, or special rewards and will be gone by the time F2P starts.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2610 on:** December 21, 2011, 04:36:35 PM »

Uhh, they're free to everyone right now during this week. Don't have to do anything special just need to to talk to the vendor. (Who can be seen in my screenshots, the little green Ferangi)

I don't know what happens to them after the week.

They're actually broken, they're suppose to have special properties (like have a chance to deflect energy weapons) but right now they're just normal Bat'leth's and Lirpas that glow when attacking. They'll be fixed sometime early January.

BOFF clone fix is in the latest Tribble patch, also DX11 support. I'll make comparison pictures if it noticeable.

So it will probably be on Holodeck soon.

New Blog Post

Edit:

Only noticeable difference in DX11 mode... a bunch of bugs, other then that nothing visually different, The release notes says there will be a blog post on it sometime in the future, maybe they'll say then.

So yeah, probably the only way I'd get either the bat'leth or lirpa is to grab them off the exchange later. Really not liking having to wait for F2P, but I don't really see too much point in resubscribing.

Weapons will finally look like they're missing now when they miss.

I love how EVE Online is 8 years old, yet they've only just got it in the game (Well, test server), STO is almost 2 years old and its already on their test server

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #2615 on:** December 23, 2011, 02:37:58 PM »

Slow STO news week since they're all going on Holidays.

Snippit from the test server, this NPC is holding a New PADD model with TNG era style LCARS
