Summer Event Thoughts

As someone pointed out in one of the threads regarding the approaching Winter Event, it takes time for these things to be coded and added to the game... so, with the idea that it would give the Dev Team plenty of time to work on the ideas... What would you like to see added as part of the 2017 Summer Event?

I'm thinking bandannas and headbands, maybe visors (the kind that shades eyes from the sun, somewhat like Data wore in TNG when he dealt Poker, not like Geordi's VISOR)...

I'm thinking some kind of special 'underwater' map (water filled with no atmosphere so players have to use diving suits/ev suits or some kind of SCUBA or Rebreather gear to take part), maybe even with a 'search for sunken treasure' type event.

I'm thinking some kind of 'skydiving' event where the lower you activate your Floater, the more points you can score.

What are the rest of you thinking?

^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...

    Decent ideas. Although the skydiving one wouldn't work like you think. No one would activate it and thus everyone would get max points. You cannot die from a max fall on Risa without a cannibal tribble.

    Hm... not even if they somehow adapted the same kind of code used for "Flying High" and similar that doesn't actually start the mission until the Floater activates? Maybe add some kind of bullseye that they'd have to aim for to land on which would need the Floater to help them hit?

    That sounds a little more plausible.​​

    Oh yeah! I was thinking an underwater zone could be awesome. If it was big enough you could have some interesting life forms swimming by. Megafauna likes the water.

    More cave complexes. More missions linked to them.

    Keep 'Q' away ....!

    Beach vollyball, and team outfits with numbers you can customize for you and your Boffs.

    'Espionage' side missions. For favors.

    Lizard pets.

    Qapla!

    What I would like is to finally have are floaters, costumes, etc. that we can select the colors for. No, I am not talking about swimsuits... they already allow many color selections, but the Hawaii-style shirts with their, what, 4 colors?

    Introducing new floaters annually with a new color just isn't what I call new content on Risa.

    Same goes for the WW event. Let us color our costume pieces that we buy there as well.

    Why would you even *want* to replace such well-delivered lines of dialogue with these fabulous voices? :D

    Just the vette. Want that awesome Risian engineering made to shine again. Cruiser can be for next year.

    What about expanding the selection of Risian Duty Officers that can be bought from the vendor on the Promenande? With the way Floaters and Powerboards use repulsor technology, an Operations - Tractor Beam Officer BOff would fit in well...

    I'm cool with the diving underwater idea,

    It doable, unique map entrance.
    Take let's say... risa map, add water levels to cover it all, add no gravity, no breathable air, reskin an ev suit and a floater, you got yourself a diving map and gear...

    I did it once in the foundry, worked like a charm!!!!

    Just popped into my head; some kind of robes like Saavik wore in WoK or that were seen at times in TNG/DS9/Voy when characters were off-duty could be added, think of them like lightweight robes being worn between a hotel/resort room and the beach or swimming pool (or between someone's quarters and the holodeck)...

    T6 Risian Corvette YES! Make it so!
  • velquavelqua Member Posts: 1,220 Arc User
    First...YES to T6 Risian ships!

    Second, it would be really nice to have an underwater map and special underwater EV suits. Adding to that, there could be an underwater hunt game as well.

    Someone should make a list and vote on this stuff when we are done. I would SO vote for yours.

    A cliff diving mini-game, where you have to adjust your position/form on the way down to hit the target for maximum points

    1. Ditch the outfit map restrictions.
    2. Get rid of the stupid flags that ruin the board race.
    3. Give me a reason to run the floater mission more than 1 toon/25 days again. Some lousy rep marks with yet another needless hassle conversion project just don't cut it.
    4. Make the water work like water, instead of a solid walkable surface.
    5. Let us use the floater and powerboard from inventory, so we don't have to switch equipment every time going between Risa and ground combat.

    I tend to agree with this.

    Underwater would be cool, but no 'special EV suit'... Bathing suit/wetsuit and Scuba gear, but no 'Special EV suit' (unless the mission involves going so far down that the pressures would require a hardsuit...) When doing the spacewalk with Cooper and Tuvok, I thought that came across more like underwater motion than Zero-G (Then again, that close to a star, gravity would likely be having an effect :D )
