which star trek series has influenced sto the most?

I'd say its a mixed of DS9 and Enterprise.

DS9 has offered DS9, the wormhole, Bajor, the basic game play and war story arch, thecdefiant, the Akira Class, the Dominion and its ships, the current state of politics in Cardassia, and a ton of other stuff.

Enterpise shaped the Orions, Andorians, Vulcan, Rigelians, Elachi, and others, the ship iself is in the game, the drone will be a hangar pet. The Suliban ship, and so much more. I know many of these races were created in the original series, but Enterpise gave them so much more depth and added so much.

TNG is also up thier.

The least influence has to be Voyager, you have Voyager, Promeathus, EMHs, and the Delta Flyer, but none of the races are in exacept the hyrogen and they're not playable.

    I pretty much agree with the OP.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    I always wondered why no Kazon? They had Escourts, Cruisers and Dreadnoughts. Suprised they are not in STO. They were written to be the Trailor park redneck trash of the STO universe.

    Voyager also has Miral Paris and Naomi Whiteman, they are characters in STO, not major, but they are used in a few missions at least. Transwarp as well.


    Some things, like Risa, Andorians, and the Borg have features added from a couple of the shows.

    Risa was in more episodes of TNG (and even DS9), but we only saw a coast in ENT.

    Andorians were shown in TOS, but the first "character" (Shon) was from ENT.

    Borg, well, were in every show besides TOS (1 episode of ENT), but they are closest to the Voyager type, not the invincible superenemies of TNG.

    Don't forget that TOS pretty much dominate the ship bridges, almost all the sound effects (computer beeps, etc) are TOS. Rather odd in my opinion. Even at the end of every STO trailer, that transporter sound is also TOS.

    DS9...they've said it multiple times, no?

    Besides, we wouldn't have all the complaints about Escorts Online without the DS9 influence, eh?

    ok the kazon?? who voyager never encountered after the 2 years of traveling through the delta quadrant. a journey which started 70k light years from the alpha quadrant tbh they are only a step up from pakleds. they really wasn't very smart. so I can't see how they could ever make it as far as the alpha quadrant.

    I agree with the op. ds9 and enterprise. there is some voyager influence but it's harder to show that in the alpha/beta quadrants. character names and hirogen who roam the galaxy for prey. took them a long time to get here.

    Without a doubt TOS has .

    Beside the fact that without TOS there would be none of the later series or STO, a lot of the planets, factions, races and technologies are from TOS

    TNG contributed additional races and planets plus most current ship designs, newer tech and THE BORG.

    DS9 and Voyager supplied the rest.

    DS9 which was always the most combat orientated of the series.

    Well, you can't exactly ''boldy go where no man has gone before'' or ''explore strange new worlds'' on a space station.

    The Undine also come from Voyager (albeit under their Borg designation of Species 8472).

    I think Enterprise has been a huge influence on the game, but I can see the DS9 connection too.

    Quantum Slipstream was a voyager thing as well.

    This is a no-brainer. DS9 all the way, from A to Z.

    I agree with the OP. If you were a fan who only watched TOS and TNG you'd be totally lost in this game.

    I'd say, especially after the Legacy of Romulus, that Enterprise and DS9 are neck and neck. So much of ENT has creeped into this game.

    No, Pakled's are at least cunning and tricky, the Kazon were useless without a Cardassian to lead them. When Seska died, she took the brains with her.

    Kazon were the ST equivalent of Afghani tribal warlords, uneducated, no real chain of command, fighting mostly amongst themselves with borrowed, outdated tech.

    Its because Enterprise focused so much on the primary races as did DS9, most of Voyagers influence is in the tech department, like slips stream.

    Well gee that's not racist or anything.

    I would say storyline - DS9 has affected it most.

    However, lest we forget that TNG spawned DS9, so I think technology and the overall feel of the game should be given to TNG.

    I am a total DS9 fanboy at heart though :)

    Yeah, I'd say DS9 has done the most. But I wouldn't put Voyager as the least. It's given the game:

    Intrepid class
    Prometheus class
    Slipstream
    Species 8472 (Undine)
    Hirogen
    Borg probe ships (you know... the ones that look like pills)
    Stuff about transwarp

    Just to name the things I can think of without looking stuff up. I'd say that they're pretty important things, too.
    I ask nothing but that you remember me.

    True, but that's still less then all the other ones.

    This will change when the action moves to the Delta Quadrant.

    I've yet to play the new LOR stuff, but...

    Klingon War? DS9.

    Romulan Mystery? Whatever TV show would have the hero murder a base full of civilians on the orders of an obvious fraud. Smallville, I guess.

    Cardassian Struggle? DS9.

    Borg Collective? Voy.

    Breen Invasion? TOS/ TAS

    Undine Advance? DS9.

    STFs and Rep? PWI.

    I'd say DS9 is the clear winner here.

    There's a lot of TOS in there too...there is a whole story line where you go back in time to the TOS era. I also think that the mind frame of the Federation is more inline with the TOS version rather than other versions....

    Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.

    LOL, so true. TNG was very mild in combat and strife, compared to DS9 with its Dominion War. Though I would have loved to have seen Picard and crew do a number during the Dominion War with the Enterprise-E.
