But you know what? I guess it doesn't matter now does it? By being allowed to visit their studios Cryptic has pretty much signed off on you and your fleet haven't they? They've said in deed what most of us have suspected for years. They're not going to stop you. They're not going to correct you. You won. After long last, you really, really won. STO is yours and no one is going to do a thing about it. Congratulations.

Well... you can't make Tholians dance in Foundry either.... I think the issue is that since they don't use a humanoid wire frame they don't have most emote animations.

Makes sense. Can you imagine one of those things trying to do "The Running Man" or "The Leg Kick"??
Yikes! :eek:

These types of devices are not harmful, just annoying. Which is of course what the person setting them off (for the most part) is looking for. They think it is funny.
To solve this, the developers need to do these two things...
A simple "yes" or "no" popup requesting to animate your Avatar when in the range of a activated Party Amp. This would not be much of a programming issue. We see these all the time for every other request to do something with your Avatar. And those wishing to dance can do so with one click.
Also they should make it, that if someone does set one of these off, their Avatar is forced to stay at that location, until the timer on the Party Amp runs out. It's your party, you should be a good host and stay with it till the end.
I'm also of the opinion that is someone does set one of these off, the crowd within the dance radius of the device should get to vote on which farm animal the person setting this device off gets to grid with, through the entirety of the song. But that's just me.

That's a stupid idea. I LOATHE need/greed popups. Nothing good can come of "are you sure you want to dance" popups in social zones.
Even though I STILL support the client side switch, it's not really that big a deal to me. C'mon, you RP'ers, just think of it as a temporary virus your character gets infected with or something. Work around it!
In the end, there are much bigger things to get upset about.
They're not really gone, as long as we remember them
What we need is an emergency kurland hologram that can be summoned and keeps saying KURLAND HERE, then the complaints about disco ball will stop
I see potential here!
Okay, I'm just brainstorming, but how about an option that let's players deploy the "Emergency Kurland Hologram" that stops dance animations for your toon, while the EKH dances for your toon spouting "Kurland here!" every 5 seconds, to which only the PAT (Party Amp Troll) can hear??
Even the most sociopathic trolls will go back to using them for their original purpose, as items to have fun with friends and fleetmates in PROPER social zones, which does not include business areas.
It could work! :P

Oooh I like that idea. Then we can see how long it would take for said P.A.Ts to come here and rage how people using the EKH are ruining their fun.:D

Yes....trolls QQing about being trolled...there is a certian poetic justice in that. Provided the PAT's sanity survives being surrounded by a bunch of dancing Kurland's reminding him/her of their presence every 5 seconds! :P

Really do you have to be so kind? I would say every 2 seconds. :eek:
Oh I though of a more vicious thing to do with Kurland if there was a space PA. He dances on the hull of the ship of the one who launched it, thus preventing slipstream and transwarp abilities until the timer is up. This is on top of the "Kurland here" message. Oh imagine the rage.
Mind you in comparison to Tovan, Kurland is not that chatty. Oh a new tangent to go on

Kill it with fire.
It's not myfault ifyoufeel trolledbymyDisco ball...Sorry'boutit.

Clearly the discoball can be used as a Tholian detection device then. Anyone not dancing is a Tholian spy and should be dealt with.
That, and all those extra legs. Unless the Tholians have really good holoprojection technology we don't know about! :eek:
It's the only logical explanation. Discoballs, protecting the quadrant from Tholian invasion.

I much prefer being able to vote on the animal the person activating the device would be forced to dance with...
I like the way you think.
However, I would be willing to compromise on a simple on/off switch in the menu options.
In the end, there are much bigger things to get upset about.

Someone started a thread for a PA in space, so now we can have Kurland in an ev suit annoying them. A new tangent on the Kurland idea
I could actually see something like that, lol. All the better to troll us with! :P
