Content Designer Sean "Commander Ander" McCann shares details about the Nimbus adventure zone in this entry of the Legacy of Romulus News Dev Blog series.
Commander Ander needs to use STO terminology of "Accolade" not CO's "perk". That was confusing for a second.
Especially since missions now can award actual perks (for example, tour the universe gives a non-slotted trait that permanently reduces your transwarp cooldown).
Branflakes: How will the away team pathfinding be on this zone be at launch? It left something to be desired when I tested it.
why there are no new doff assigments chains ...so many new places and no attention to doffs.I mean with that amount of work put into new zones (I omg'ed on tribble so much that I got tired doing it lol ) some new doff stuffs would be like a bug fix ...especially on maps like Nimbus or New Romulus
Could the KDF get a sword dance . My brute KDF doing the fan dance is going to make me laugh. LOL Though I will be using this alot in my diplomatic efforts with Starfleet.
I was really skeptical about the idea of a zone designed for the level 20's only, but seeing how it is actually implimented (the level cap but still letting higher level people in) I've really come around on it. Pretty cool idea in the end, and I bet long term we also get a zone for the 30's and maybe the 40's as well.
This looks like a neat zone. Certainly better than the movie that spawned it. ;-)

I will be super mad if we can't ride a horse here. Cryptic has the technology for horses; they have no excuse to not implement it here, the most horsey planet in all of Star Trek.

This is actually my favorite ground map in the game now. I love how when you're just randomly running around you can come across an open event, not only does it add some major fun factor, but it also really feels trek like. I would love to see this added to some of the other maps in the game, and wouldn't mind random encounters it space either, of course with an option to turn them off for those that would prefer not to have them.
One thing Cryptic really seems to have been striving for in the LOR expansion is to add more Dynamics to the gameplay with maps like this, and I've got to say it's a very welcomed addition.
The only suggestion I have is for the Queen Worm, might want to decrease her range a bit as it can be extremely hard to get near her if other players aren't there when the random event pops up.
You got it backwards, the girls are green and the grass is pretty. :P
LOL awesome.
Although now you've ruined that song for me. I won't be able to hear it any other way now. Hmm, or maybe it's better this way. I'll have to decide on that later. :P
I like the idea of cutting level 50's down to size
Mixed feelings about that to be honest.
I would rather see scaling opponents.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I love this new planet Nimbus, it looks like ill be spending most of my time there. Its great to now that random events around the planet, it wont be like a Bajor type planet. And not only my Klingon and soon to be new Romulan toon will be able to experience the new,great, big adventure, my Fed toon can also experience the adventure. OMG! i cant wait!:D

It was mentioned earlier that the developers where thinking of LoR with a western flare...this comes out clearly from the pics of Nimbus.
For a sharp contrast, it would be great if a really strong tech world could be introduced, maybe the home planet of the Binars. Maybe, there could even be a series, where our starship gets a boost in power, due to the Binars advancing our starship computer. LoL, however, for the Romulan captain maybe an increase in turn rate would suffice.

Thats a good idea.. dont think they have thought about it.

It would be a shame not to add mounts to this map, for yourself and your BOFFs.
For a backward planet like Nimbus I think that mounts would be an obvious choice for fast travel, and they are in the movie after all.

Exactly what part of the Fan Dance Emote is NOT intended to make players laugh? :P

I am confused about this level thing? Does this mean you can do missions there anytime?
