Found something interesting on the hirogen bridge

Ushaan and MACO stun baton models.

Someone's teasing us.
Don't feel like learning how to post screenshots, but if you have access to the bridge, check out the melee weapons display.

They're there.

    I recall also that the MACO batons were incorperated into the belts of some Romulan NPC enemies ( Might be a photoshop job, hard to be sure, but the screenshots I was looking at seemed genuine)

    We don't have a whole lot of melee weapons to choose from for mounting on a wall. And I don't have many that aren't used by the species in the game. So I used what I had at hand.

    So you're saying we aren't going to be able to use them? :(

    *facepalm*

    In other words, the Andorians aren't in the game?

    ...No, it's just "not worth it" to make the Ushaan-Tor into a usable weapon...

    I'm sure many people would be willing to pay for a second melee weapons pack that includes an Ushaan-Tor and a Mek'leth. Perhaps not as much as a new ship pack, but sometimes doing things the players like takes precedence over just making the most money possible from every single little thing you do... Or you might just find yourself with no players to make money from.

    ...And you could always replace those two weapons with generic swords and daggers from Neverwinter or something.

    I'm sure the Champions Online team would let you have some 'generic alien weapon' models you could reskin if you ask really nice. ;)

    Possibly not, no. It's not like they can just swap out the dagger for the Bat'Leth and call it a day - it would require new animations, for a start.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    Yeah weapons have been a thing I've always had an issue with. Maybe one day they will allocate resources to make the following lol.

    TNG & Voyager Rifles

    Well over 20 different types of Klingon Melee/Ritual Weapons of which the bat'leth is the only one we have in the game.

    Andorian whatever their name was in that enterprise episode.

    End game Klingon disruptor pistols seen in just about every series but the elite ones just look like they copied sniper rifles and called them a pistol.

    All those hirogen and jem hadar melee weapons.

    Anyways such a long list of canon that just isnt in the game for stated in the past technical or programming problems.

    Would pay so hard for all of these. I mean much.

    Well, we'll be honest.

    Both.

    I just thought it was a cool novelty that they were in the game in any capacity, that's all.
