    I believe McCoy even treats some future-guys and the patroling security party also have one. It's always the same, though - ops division visor wearing future agent. His camouflage is not as clever as he thinks, though.​​

    I guess they were less uptight about time travel back then.

    Yeah, obvious Romulans on a 23rd century federation base and nobody bats an eye.
    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Yeah that mission wasn't written out well at all. Most cases even in the shows/movies. They at least dress the part to "fit" in. Which is a shame they didn't do that for the mission. When they was redoing the missions that one should be redone as well. Since no VOs was required so it would be easily to fix in the texting and parts of it.

    Plus it really don't add up when your doing it on the Romulan and KDF. This is one reason why I hate doing that part of the arc. Horrible story, and it wouldn't bother me if they get rid of it.

    Why?

    I dont think the Klingons would want to mess with the timeline, they are there because the Devidians are as a threat to them as they are to the Federation unless you consider the entire sector being moved out of phase some kind of victory , Romulans are just doing a favor.

    Its a FE, its not going away.

    Its just a horrible story. Like I said even the shows they do time travel better as they don't want to disrupt the time too much. They can do costume changes in the FE. They done that before. So it could use a rewrite. Last few times I just click as fast as I could just to hurry on past it since I couldn't jump past it with my Delta to get the credit. Next time I will just skip it.

    FE not going away? Yeah keep telling youself that as they removed several over the years as they redone arcs. Those was FEs and they got removed. So if they decided it was part of their revamp. They can easily remove it.

    Rewrite or removal that part of the arc needs it.

    No actual FEs were removed. The missions in the Romulan and Cardassian arcs were not associated with any FEs.

    http://sto.gamepedia.com/Feature_episode
    The FE missions in the Romulan arc didn't start until "The Vault".
    The FE missions in the Cardassian arc didn't start until "Second Wave"

    And I believe an argument can be made that Scotty calling the player's unifrom funny looking is to take into account non C-Store uniforms like the Sierra 1, which by 23rd Century standards is a funny looking uniform. So basically... the comment about the Player's uniform does in fact fit in. There is no system in place to register if a player is wearing any particular outfit, stock or C-Store. It is a scripted line so Scotty will say it no matter what the player is wearing.

    The only reason to actually pull out a TOS uniform would be for role play imersion, aka fun.

    FEs or what they may be. Its all about the same to me. They just a mission.

    Reason why he said it was cause he was in the correct uniform at that time period. And then you show up in something not in current uniform for any group. Fed, KDF, or Romulan. If that is the case. Why does every time the shows/movies go back in time. The try to dress the part. So not to draw attention to themselves.

    Main reason why they added that part. Cause most players may not have the TOS uniforms to dress up in. I sure didn't the first time through. After that, I just didn't care and ran through it fast as possible since that part of the arc was pure trash.

    The Romulan FEs got remastered for LoR. They play differently as a Romulan.

    They had bits added for the Delta event. But the overall mission story is still the same.

    I was shaking my head when I went through that mission with my Fed-Rom. Four Romulans and a Reman, all decked out in Gamma armor and carrying automatic antiproton weapons. Totally legit.

    Yeah. My uniforms are just as funny as yours, for some odd reason...

    Unless he's commenting on the fact that there's a (now) Fleet Admiral running around with 4 Commanders on a base in the middle of a quarantine being told to help a measily Commander to rebuild Drozana's triolic defenses...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Honestly, it would make the most sense if all of the uniforms got insta-changed to some form of civilian clothing, since that's what the Starfleet officers on the station (mostly) think you are anyway. Minor dialog tweaks and not much else would need to be updated. Though I could certainly live without enduring the nerve tonic grind ever again... I'd never miss it, and it's really not that important to the storyline.

    Other than that, there are some cool elements of that mission that could be preserved such as sneaking around avoiding security, etc. The Delta recruit time travel tie-in is a particularly nice touch.

    What gets me is that My Gorn, in a KDF uniform can freely wonder around the station, play games on their computer, steal parts and get into a bar fight, alter the time line, pass out in the cargo bay with a bottle of Romulan Ale and a copy of PlayGorn and still be the hero in Starfleets eyes. And I still can't get into Earth Space Dock 200 or so years later!

    In my country this is equal to coming home from the pub and crawling half blind into the bed at 4am without waking my sheila nor tripping over the dog in the dark in the process. Seriously if I did this TRIBBLE in front of Starfleet security and got away with it like I did then, I'd should be a freaking legend!

    Then again I sat through both JJ treks without throwing up or trying to knife myself, so, meh, I'm already a legend. =3
    well, in the era of Past!Drozana, the Feds and KDF were not at war. They happily let the Klingons and Orions hang out at the bar.

    I like your thoughts on this topic.

    The nerve tonic for the alcholic can easily be changed by allowing the players to slap her a few times it worked in that era when women and others were hysterical why not here.
