I just had an evil thought.....

I would like to ask Cryptic to consider adding a new item inspired by the diso ball to the GPL store.......

for you see, I like playing Dabo for those days I only have about 30 min to kill, but there are only so many places you can play it. if you don't have a character stationed at all times on a table - you can spend all the game time you have getting to one. Sometimes I'm lucky and it's a fun time, others however I have to ward off constant fleet invites, and with zone chat off.

I do like the idea of putting one at the captains table from the other thread - I also like the idea of having one through the ten forward floor trophy system that i read a year or so back. but the new Disco balls has kinda warped my mind.

Pahlease - Make a new Ferengi ground consumable that work's like the disco ball, but spawn's a holographic dabo table ( Complete with holo Leeta) at your current location for an hour, or until you leave. others can use it as well - great for something to do on group outtings to vulcan, or bridge parties.

Kinda cool... and I'll add one:

Howabout Latinum "upgrades" to costumes?

I'd propose the STF gear in gold armored bits and your (loud) color of choice accent colors with Ferengi Alliance badges and Ferengi themed helmets with sculpted-on lobes.

Also... Ferengi-ized Fleet Uniforms with metallic leafy bits like Q's Napoleonic Starfleet uniform, optional Ferengi combadges, and (going for broke with absurdity) a 5-star admiral rank pip option on the jacket.

Would also like a replica of the Grand Nagus' staff as a melee weapon. Primary attack uses sword animations, using the staff to bash. Secondary attack uses lirpa/ba'leth animations, using the staff to push.

Also, while we're at it... Maybe have them sell upgraded replica weapons. Y'Know, all those cool weapon models in the game that get sidelined at endgame like Bajoran pistols and TOS phasers.

Also, while we're at it, howabout giving the TOS characters in the game their own service patch instead of having them all use the Enterprise delta and have the Ferengi on Drosana sell the alternate patches, including a unique new Drosana station patch.

Sadly, I could get behind this

I actually laughed out loud at reading the Grand Nagus Staff weapons. That would be stylish to wield in a 21st century suit. And when you have it active and "upholstered", it modifies your walk animation so you strut with it. Manually running overrides the animation so you can still use it in combat.

As for the Portable Dabo table, that would be pretty cool. Now only if there were another gambling type game that was way more portable and shown in canon. >.> *cough*poker*cough*

Or get rid of the lock boxes and start putting good prizes on the dabo table where you can gamble with zen and dilithium and maybe win the kind of things that are in lock boxes , from lobi to ships

Well, Risa made GPL a lot more useful. True it's limited, but it's way more than we had before.

Why do I have a vision of dabo tables all over ESD and hundreds of Leeta's shouting "Eyes on the wheel, NOT the girl!"?

wildmousex

well I would suspect that there would be a limit to how close the dabo tables could be opened to each other. Why waste a consumable when you're within walking distance of someone else's? I also wouldn't price it the same as the diso ball, an hour at the dabo table net's you more then enough to annoy people with disco balls for years.

I do like the idea of special costume unlocks from the GPL store as well - and the staff would be a pretty cool idea, but since it doesn't reflect any of the other melee weapons they would have to add new animation sequence's, new skill tray icons, and so on - more suited for the lobi store.

however GPL would be a good route to bring in new dance and other emotes that are already used in their other games, so porting would be the only required work.
