The TOS Value package.... here is my review
IT'S AWESOME!
To put it in more detail:
Besides for some really anal retentive nitpicking from cannon lawyers, I can find nothing really wrong with this package and for 1400 Atari tokens (about 15 dollars worth), you are not going to get a better buy for money than this package.
The Enterprise package comes with an entire star ship and it still does not measure up to this value pack.
That all being said I merely have one request, one tiny little favor to ask to make this set perfect:
I almost cried when I realized I could not beam out from this area on my ship and had to go back up to my bridge to leave my ... bridge... which seems a tad awkward.
IT'S AWESOME!
To put it in more detail:
- The scaling is perfect!
- Working Jeffries Tubes!
- Your ship NPCs are dressed appropriately!
- Shuttered windows for cannon lawyers and the ability to see space for everyone else!
- Certain rooms suck as the Transporter Room and Engineering are exact replica's (the Sick bay, while a little off, is as close as they could get it!).
- A "F" Type shuttle and pet (was so not expecting this).
- 3 new costume types fore the period! (My only complaint is Klingons really need some classic TOS love for their outfits)
- A Type 2 phaser that can be given to all your crew immediately instead of having to spam the same feature series episode over and over and over again! ( It is SLIGHTLY less powerful than the feature series gun).
- Old school bridge sounds and abient noise in the appropriate places. You will actually feel like your on the Enterprise. I was just waiting for the computer to ask for someone to report to something, the sounds were just that good.

the thing is if you're leaving your ships interior to go back to sector space you're not really leaving your ship. as you're taking command of your ship to go fly it somewhere then the bridge is the place you want to be when you change views.
although if you are on a station at the time then a transporter change would then at least give people the option if they really want to role play the experience.
do you see the TOS Interrior transporter room or the one it allways showed?
WHOA!!!! Hang on a moment....
You get a Black and White Phaser for each of your Crew Members?
I thought you only got one.
If you get one for each crew member, that is UTTERLY AWESOMESAUCE!!!!!
Yes, would be nice to not have to spam the Devidan Mission over and over and over again!
i would guess the standard one it always shows. thats a generic cutscene not something tied to our ships.
go to the special unlock tab at the bottom of the c-store and spam the claim bundle pack a few times and multiple phasers will appear in your inventory.
While this is true,,, the transition that occurs when you leave your bridge is a beam out effect.
They could just as easily place a 'leave ship interior' button button (like in the bridge) in the transporter room. Although, a "BEAM OUT" button would have the same effect but seems more appropriate for the tansporter room.
Basically I'm just asking for a way to leave the ships interior from the transporter room, a move I believe a lot of payers would support.
that would be sad, especially since the only TOS ship ingame is right at the start.
PS: want screenshots!
Go to the Cstore and repeatedly click "claim free item" for the Value Pack, you can do it as many times as you want and get as many phasers as you need for your crew!
WOOOHOOOO!!!!
This is Excellent!
Made my day guys. Thanks!

Revo - thanks for the quick nerd-fix!
I'm IMMERSED!
I am very impress with the new bridge and interior pack. Cryptic did an awesome job. They should not make the interior so that you only get it if you pick the bridge. I do wish the elevator actually worked instead of having to use loading screens. It should me one big map.
I'm not one for using OMG... but if there was ever a time, this is it.
Working Jeffries tubes is a genius touch, and using the 'conference room' instead of the ready room... superb.
The feel is perfect in my opinion... and am I getting ahead of myself of does the doctor in sick-bay look suspiciously well poised to become a contact for healing injuries!?
Though, I must say I actually said "This is SO AWESOME" while walking around... I'm such a nerd:D
Here's to hoping they make an era appropriate shuttle bay when it's put in game as well.
Also, love the plaque on the bridge.
Are you sure? All of my NPC's were in TOS uniforms.
Those are your BO that is why they are not in TOS uniforms. If you put them in TOS uniforms then they will have them.
Another little problem is, I took the Type F pet out of my Shuttle craft, thinking I could simply use it on my ship, but it will not let me! Now, when I try to put it back in the shuttle, it won't allow me! Now what do i do with it?
A pity we can't go to the Hanger deck and actually see said shuttle. One day!
Oh, and how good did it feel to sit on the bridge, looking over his shoulder at the view screen? Now if we only got the ability to travel while on the bridge..... perfect would be achieved!
