23c Security Escort

Colour me disappointed.

Got to sufficient rank on my 23c Tactical Captain that I can now call on a security escort. Imagine my disappointment when, surrounded my my crew wearing 23c uniforms, using 23c equipment, my security escort beams in, apparently from some other ship since there was a 25c transporter effect and they're wearing 25c uniforms, using 25c equipment...

I mean really. It's starting to look like the only thing 23c about the character is the costume of my Captain, which I had before this "expansion," and the transporter effect. I don't get to keep using a 23c ship, and I don't get to have 23c escorts now. What's next?

    You can keep using a 23rd Century ship from level 1 to level 60, but no 23rd Century Security Escort is certainly a let down. Of course, it is going to cost you either $ or time with all the 23rd Century C-Store ships available. It will cost about $40 to $50 to get the Tier 6 Temporal ship and its 23rd Century counterpart to get a Tier 6 23rd Century ship unless you go after the Tier 6 TOS Constitution. Also, the new Fleet Holding will give more options to keep the 23rd Century style.

    If it helps you, the story clearly states that you're yanked through time to replace a dead officer, so for all intents and purposes you, your crew, your ship, everything are now 25th century Starfleet.

    Only you know the truth.

    If you claimed the TOS pack given away the other week the C23 interior has TOS crew running about

    Customizable security escort has been requested for years.

    While you are from the 23c, you no longer live in the 23c. I do agree that it would be nice to see the Security officers wear uniforms to match the captain, but they don't do that for any faction, so to not do it for 23c is not unexpected.

    You also have access to 23c ships all the way up to T6. You can change the skin on the future ships to match the 23c equivalent. Not sure that most know about that.

    I'd like my AoY faction security escorts to be in 23rd Century uniforms. That's be a nice fix/addition/update.

    This is missing the point though. You are not in the 23rd C any longer. Some 23rd C captains may have even embraced that and begun to wear modern uniforms and done the same to their crew. Heck, most of your Boffs and all of your Doffs are modern personnel and not 23rd C personnel.

    What really needs to be addressed is actually something all Tac captains would like to see and that is for their escorts to wear gear that matches what they or their Boffs are wearing, but given the overhead required for that, it makes more sense that they wear modern uniforms, not 23rd C uniforms.

    I really wish this were customizable. There are times, during certain missions involving time travel or otherwise set in the 23C era, where I would like my crew to appear in TOS garb. And other times when I want them to be modern. I should be able to switch back and forth relatively easily. Not counting on that ever happening, but it would be nice if it were ever possible.

    Like, allowing 23C costume slots for BOFFs that you can switch them to. Or setting a particular (standard) uniform set for each ship.

    I'll take this time to point out that this thread is substantially the same as the OP's previous thread, being a complaint that AoY is not done how he wants it to be. Making multiple threads on the same subject is against forum rules & annoying.

    Baloney. My other thread had nothing to do with tac team or uniforms. My other thread had to do with (initially) figuring out why I felt generally dissatisfied with AoY, and more specifically with the ship situation.

    Well, on the plus side, you are clearly enjoying the forums! B)

    I'd just like to have AOY on the Xbox :tongue: Can't wait to spend 20 minutes playing in the 23c lol

    Both threads are about the AoY content not being what you want it to be. Thats all there is to it.

    And what is wrong about him asking for features / fixes to a portion of the content that is most important to him?

    Would you lob similar criticism at a player of a Romulan character making posts concerning different issues which are specific to that faction?

    The only reason all those 23c Captains aren't blowing their cover by wearing those old uniforms is because no one gives a [bovine excrement] in the 25c what military personnel is wearing while on duty. I somehow find that amusing.

    This again? The only thing I'll say is that post level 10, you no longer are a 23c officer, just because you refused to do Caleb IV so you can put your hands over your ears and go ''Lalalalalala, I can't hear you!'', doesn't change the reality that 23c is meant to last till level 10, then you warp to the 25c century.

    And that does not change the fact that at the very core of their being, 23rd century characters are 23rd century.

    And more importantly, this is a GAME. What some on the opposing side are essentially arguing is that after fans of TOS in many cases spend real money so that their experience will look like TOS, that all of that should be removed once they reach level 10.

    Just because a TOS era captain and his / her crew gets transported in time does not mean that their uniforms all magically get changed to 25th century ones, especially since in the 25th century captains can set the dress code for their ships.

    The OP's complaint is a legitimate one -- if for example, a player spends real money so that his landing party will be wearing 23rd century uniforms, then having a security officer added in by the game who is not wearing the same type of uniform that the rest of his crew are wearing, that in some cases that he PAID to have them wearing, is irritating.

    The time agent tells you to go change into a modern uniform first thing after being sent into the 25th century. The game obviously lets everyone wear historical uniforms (or no uniforms at all) so players don't actually have to do that. But in-universe, you are supposed to blend in and nobody but the time agents are supposed to know you're from the past.

    Customizable security escort (and ship interior crew) would be nice, but it's nothing to do with the game's storyline.

    I didn't miss the point. I just made my opinion known about a feature I would like. It's just something I want. It's cool if no one else does. I'm not expecting this to be made available at all. It's no biggie.

    Simple logic, If TOS captains don't get to fully keep and utilize their distinctive theme throughout the game (They still need the rest of the ranks of their TOS kit and bridge officer abilities) which seemed to be aimed at players desiring nostalgia, then what the heck was even the point in making the mini-faction? Defeats the purpose when you are trying to get players to try and start over on a new faction character which is good for Cryptics bottom-line and time investment, if they lose their unique distinction from other factions then there is far less incentive to make such characters and start anew and go endgame with them.
