Change of pace

Can Cryptic add shore-leave, bottle episodes, or some other missions where no combat happens? Instead Players could simply go to such locales as the Boreth monestary, the Daystrom institute, an Altonian brain teaser, a holiday on your homeworld, a shipwide routine medical examination.

    Not too many people die in Q's Winter Wonderland, though one can be frozen. That's why you need a warm and cuddly epoh friend!

    Yes thats what Summer and Winter events are for, a break from being a Starship capt where you can dress in hawaiian shirt and ice skate, shore leave, R&R.....
    Thats about it it, there could be more with less responsibilities though, nothing to accomplish and have "games". Quarks bar is stupid boring.

    BTW, a shipwide routine medical examination? Srsly?
    Thats not even depicted on the shows, you only see the CMO hound the capt that theyre pass due for there annual. I wouldn't want to hear Robert Picardo VO telling me to drop 'em and turn my head and cough. "Now bend over captain, this wont hurt a bit", then while watching the bulkhead you hear rubber gloves being snapped on. Nah thanks, im good.

    Yeah, i actually was just thinking about that point being added too. Either way, something's still needed to break the monotony of phaser-ing this and torpedo-ing that.

    I'd rather rub a cheese grater against my forehead.​​

    Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.

    I dare you to do better.

    "Now bend over captain, this wont hurt a bit (much)]/size]."

    But yeah, I'm looking forward to Q's Winter Wonderland. I could use something light about now.

    There's a first contact style foundry episode set in the briar patch, although I forget the title. It's pleasant and pretty relaxing.

    New idea for "Hearts and Minds" replacement, no derelict this time, instead the Player is "for some reason" on the run from his own crewmen, through turboshafts and jefferies-tubes, until the chase has to end, but is it a plain ending, or the "or was it" style?
