    Dinosaurs with lasers is the last thing that comes to my mind when I think of Star Trek...

    Seems more like Halo or Mass Effect, looking at the screenshots.

    Do you ever not whine when you post? It seems that almost every post you make is a whiny complain post, and it's getting a little tiresome to read them...


    On topic, I really think the design of the ground combat is really cool. The Dinos look awesome, almost like the real thing (or like what Spielberg did with Jurassic Park).

    I'm excited for Season 8.

    why are there odd triangles in that laserbeam? looks like some unfinished texture or FX bug... i hope that is only a placeholder.

    I'm sorry, guys, but the more I hear about the Voth... the more I want to find out which one of you plays Tau Empire in Warhammer 40k...

    I wonder if Cryptic remembered they had a bunch of dinosaur resources from champions online and thought, How can we get this into Star Trek? :D

    Even though I'm not too pleased with the idea of big dinosaurs with laser guns being something not of star trek, I'll forgive them if the experience is as awesome as it looks.

    I just wonder about those voth beams though, they look weird. I was assuming they were a place holder graphic?

    You forget TOS had canon Greek Gods, TRIBBLE-in-space, Hippies-in-space, and a lot more ridiculous things :P Dinosaurs is nothing really
    Was named Trek17.

    Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

    Captains, I encourage you to read the blog first, instead of looking at images and basing judgement off them only. The Voth bio-engineered these Dinosaurs; considering their history and origins, they wouldn't be bio-engineering dogs and cats.

    Cheers,

    I guess I'll be the minority here and say that I love this stuff. Dinosaurs with lasers, mechas, and Star Trek all together? I can't get enough of that. Love it.

    As I said to you on Twitter Brandon, you guys are seriously going left field with this lot.

    This just confirms that you want a fantasy based generic Sci-fi mmo, that has very little to do with Star Trek :(

    Lol, yea... Starfleet bio engineered a giant catdog stuck a laser on it and sent it off to fight Dominion ground troops :P.

    If the Federation were given this, then quite probably yeah. But the Voth ARE reptilian and such, so this line of thinking is possible.

    Are they going overboard with it? Debatable, but bio-engineering in general isn't that far-off from ST

    Plus as I said in a previous post, episodes of TOS had far more ridiculous things than dinosaurs, and they were canon
    Was named Trek17.

    I admire the way you were able to extrapolate and build upon the comparatively small dataset from the Voyager episode, into all of this. *Awesome*.

    With the dino-critters though, I can't help but think that Teleios has somehow swapped universes XD.

    I just keep hearing Dr. Evil from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery saying: "You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here!"

    Look I don't really play this game on the ground. So I can tolerate dinos with friggin lasers. As long as the space ships are cool.
