Franklin Drake

Shouldn't we do the missions in Romulan space that introduces us to Drake before we get missions from him? The Dividian missions may be near Klingon space, but it doesn't make sense story wise to do them before some of the Romulan stuff.

    I agree. Also, there's the mission that has the devidians as an unknown enemy (Ghost Ship [?] ) which doesn't make sense if you've already waged a campaign against them.

    It also doesn't make any sense that, in "Skirmish," you're sent to investigate a True Way fleet before you have any idea who the True Way even are. There either need to be some rewrites to these missions (and, of course, the subsequent mission bariman pointed out), or the Devidian series simply needs to be somewhere else in the progression.

    Although I loved being able to do Everything Old is New over and over for the phaser arrays, it really doesn't make sense in the story progression.

    The current integration of the FEs and leveling quests does need some work. As the dialog is currently written, these quests do not fit within the story arc (as weak as it is) that players experience from LT -> LTC.

    Right now, players meet Franklin Drake without ever running in to him. There's no explanation of who he is or what Section 31 is, or how you ended up working for Section 31.

    Drake is no longer met in that one Romulan episode. They replaced him with a Vulcan. So now you only meet him when you start the Devidian missions, and again for the holodeck mission.

    There are some bugs with this. The mission completion boxes, and the turn-in boxes are all referring to the mission as if you had met Franklin Drake.

    Although you could allude to the fact that since the woman mentioned she was working for Drake, the dialogs still work, since the original context of them was that Starfleet knew it was Drake working for Section 31 from the beginning, it should reflect the changes and speak about the new NPC that replaces Drake.

    I'm glad they paid some attention by replacing Drake in that one Romulan mission. However, as heims mentions it still doesn't make sense why Section 31 (which has traditionally remained secret from the rest of the Federation) would suddenly appear and give me orders.

    As is, I would probably say, "I don't know who you are, and I don't recognize your authority. You can your orders where the sun doesn't shine."

    Yeah, it'd make a hell of a lot more sense on a lot of levels if he was presented as Starfleet Intelligence on that mission, and then "defected" under orders from Section 31, doesn't blow his cover in Under the Cover of Night and pops back up in the Cardassian Mission, where you finally learn he was Sec 31 all along...
