Escort Barrel Roll eMote - A Request

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
There are times such as after a great STF, or whooping the heck out of Mirror opponents, or even that occasional evaporation of an enemy in PVP that a slight celebration is required. For Escort such as the Defiant or BOP, a barrel roll ship Emote would be the perfect exclamation point. Since they are closer to fighters in method, it would even make sense... sort of...

So my request, give us a ship emote, just a little barrel roll for the escorts, those lovingly cared for overpowered eggshells.

Cheers,
FyreMouse

    That would be pretty cool. It would also be kind of cool to be able to do an Immelmann turn although since that has a distinct game advantage I guess it would need to be a BO Power.

    A BO power for tacs and BoP only! Only available from Level 25 up or so. Make it a EARNED power and not a Store item.

    I would pay C-points for a barrel roll Emote.

    This totally would rock. I'd pay a good chunk for this too.

    If you imagine the size of these ships (Commander onwards) it makes it all the more epic! Imagine a small village doing a barrel roll together!

    I really like this. For now though I'll have to make due with the BoP wing waggle and fireworks.

    If the Enterprise-E can perform a full rotate to protect it's dorsal shield (Nemisis), I'm all for allowing this to grow the game. Why does the game only have only 4 shield facings?

    This topic is stirring back up from a previous post:
    Click Here

    Honestly, it should have 8 facings.

    The four standard:
    Bow
    Aft
    Port
    Starboard

    The four additional facings in canon Star Trek: (As seen on the shield schematic in the same movie mentioned above)
    Dorsal Bow
    Dorsal Aft
    Ventral Bow
    Ventral Aft

    For smaller ships 450 meters and below, it would be very plausible that the two facings of dorsal and two facings of ventral, would be combined into one facing for each - 1 Dorsal & 1 Ventral.

    I also supportt this and would like to see it possible to use with the Galaxy X also. At the very least, added as a special Lance attack for the Galaxy X, like in All Good Things.

    Using default key binds in space:
    Hit "P"
    Scroll down the powers menu for "Phaser Lance."
    Drag that to your hot bar for use.
    Apply liberally.
    Wash, rinse, repeat.

    definately a cool thing to be able to do, and perhaps a "wing waggle" as a way of saying thankyou

    I know how to use the lance! It was implied as an added effect to the Lance ability, hence the reference to All Good Things.

    Haha! This would be epic!

    Added to my list of feedback.

    Not just escorts.

    It would actually be a pretty cool animation to add to evasive maneuvers too.

    I agree that it would be cool to have as an emote.

    But I would also suggest that ALL small craft get the barrel roll integrated into the evasive maneuvers power, because a barrel is a maneuver for escaping your enemies fire and looking cool doing it.:)

    Also if this is added to ALL ships, I think the ship SIZE should determine how FAST it rolls.
    So a fighter would be the fastest, an Escort would be a close second, Science Vessels would be slower at it than escorts but faster than Cruisers, and Cruisers would be the slowest to do a barrel roll.

    But it would be funny if a RCS Accelerator also improved a ships "Barrel Roll" :D

    FyreMouse that's an excellent idea I love it! :)

    maybe make it a new evasive maneuvers power? (adds 100% to bonus defense, you keep firing and everyone that shoots at you will MISS, so that with Misstech 2.0 all the bullets and beams fly right past your ship -> epic lightshow).

    forced full speed, so you don't look like a dead fish that goes belly up just sitting there ;P


    but if it is JUST an emote... add it to the 1000 day vet reward

    I support the barrel roll but if we want to talk realism, check out the the guildance systems of games like evochron renegades.....it is space after all, there is no gravity, there is no air, there are none of the things that would make a barrel roll typical and iconic. SO....maybe just a roll or spin would be more appropriate.

    If they added strafe thrusters....now that would be epic. And the combo would result in something like a barrel roll. :)

    And as Sakarak has shown us the whole up / down thing is null.

    But yeah, i support ship emotes and i think more evasive manuver type abilities would be cool. Isnt there console that gives some sort of evasive ability now?

    I would still like to see a Conn Boff that has clickable maneuver abilities. Barrel Rolls, Loops, Immelman Turns, etc. Maybe a Picard Maneuver at higher ranks.

    Immelman Turns,

    This i could see as a boff power aslong aas the power was on a 10 sec recharge. 30 like most others is just retartedly long.

    i think that'd be more of a console power if BigC made it

    I support this, but I am also sad to find that my ship has a turning radius ... in space.

    Small craft = Barrel Roll with 5sec defense bonus so that it actually does something. (60 second cool down)
    Large craft = Emergency Turn(180) and requires no buff. (60 second cool down)
    All craft = Wing Wiggle (15 second cool down)

    Each of those should cost some engine and aux power though. Make them a cstore package.

    Also add silly picture emotes above ship like a rock-paper-scissors emote, smiley faces and a big red alert icon to signal help. These should be free.

    This game is international and we all know that not everyone speaks/reads each others text and often times a team member has their chat minimized anyway.
