So after playing numbus for the 6th time I realized the major problem I have with it. its not so much ground that ur numb after (hence numbus) or the fact that depending on what faction u play you get this nice shiny new ship only to have to park it in orbit around numbus until u get to kill Hassan, after which u get to park it in orbit again for 2 more ground missions after which u feel really numb about numbus, it's that in the federation and Klingon story arcs you are introduced to Hakeev with absolutely no history on him. just suddenly your character is supposed to know who hakeev is. he already hates you as much as if you were the guy who cost him his eye, he's taunting u like ur old enemies, but that's the first time u see him in the story arc.
then there's also the fact ur forced to rescue slimek. I think I have a bigger problem with that as well. leaving him there to suffer might save me a few problems on nopada.

So basically your problem is that Cryptic made a series of episodes that more like the shows.
lol, thx; really funny :P
ouch
/10 char
u failed to read far enough. go back and reread. my problem is the sudden appearance of hakeev with no history. your character is just expected to suddenly know who hakeev is.
As it stands now i just spam the "F" key to get out as fast as possible, so i never noticed that issue with Hakeev.
Anyay, I share that notion about the Ambassador class ship you earn.
Assuming you play with regular mission progression without xp boosts, you should be around level 25 when you get the ship.
The game then sends you to Nimbus where you play several missions on the ground with the exception of 2 spacebattles.
By the time you are done with Nimbus you are on the verge of a promotion to Captain and move on to a Tier 4 ship which puts the free ship totally to waste.
Last time I did it I just kept flying it through Captain levels to actually get a little milage out of it.
sounds like most tv shows I watch.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Put this way: When Walter Peck shows up in Ghostbusters, you don't get any introduction to him aside from what his job is. From there, he shows you what kind of person he is by how he acts.
I think Hakeev is one of the better original characters in STO. He has enough of a personality and sense of style for how he operates that Sela is able to crack a joke at his expense.
In terms of the best defined characters in STO, I'd say Hakeev, Shon, B'vat, Franklin Drake, the Cardassian diplomat, and the Romulan bridge crew probably take top honors because they show up without much introduction (like a real person would) and start giving you a feel for their attitude by what they do and how they act.
The Ferengi in STO are also fairly well done even if they're all fairly stereotypical Ferengi. (We don't really have any Nogs or Roms or even Quarks whose personal ambitions and foibles get in the way of being a good Ferengi.)
And really, do you need to know more than that about him to want to shut him down permanently?
Guess, in a way, player Ferengi are sort of like Leck.
I guess you never watched the film: "Star Trek: Nemesis"? In that they bring in a brand new Villain with no real introduction - make him Praetor, Data even discovers he was a major military figure in the Dominion War (never mentioned in the 4 years of Dominion War as told in DS9); and THEN we get a 20 minute backstory explanation halfway into the film.
IDK - Sounds like Cryptic following Star Trek writing memes established years earlier to me.
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
chang is explained as an assistant to the chancellor. the reason for the shakesperian sparring is established as well. they built the history in the movie. this isn't done with hakeev.
+1 this idea
But, steal. . I mean borrow, the concept of the Halo Warthog. 1 player drives, 1 player can door gunner, and 1 player can use the back heavy gun. But also put in something big that you want the mobile gun platform to take down as well.
Encourage a little team work in this MMO earlier than 50.

I'd add Obisek to that list, and I do actually like the characters of Eldex and Gaul too; the latter much more so than Hakeev's over the top theatrics.

So you are upset that the Devs wrote those epsiodes in much the same way that Trek TV epsiodes were written.
I was watching "the Wounded" last night. That episode introduces the Cardassians as if they were always there. And there Federation has been in prolonged conflict with them. And yet they never bothered to mention this before?
As for saving Selmeck, YOU know what he's up to, but someone else playing through for the first time won't.
What's my position?
That people should know what they're screaming about!
(paraphrased from "The Newsroom)
the funny thing about "the wounded" was that the fact that the enterprise curbstomped the cardy ship in like a minute or less. While being caught off guard. And that later, the phoenix crushed a warship while having been caught with no shields.
Why did starfleet have a war with trolls like that? How did they not win?
Why did the klinker empire not jump in?
The cardys were never scary.
My character Tsin'xing
I'm back and forth on counting Gaul since he actually is a character from a Voyager episode. :-)
But he is very well handled here even with a new actor and the treatment of Gaul made it so that I could envision Cryptic being ready to do a Dukat story of some kind.
