What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Just some Questions

1. Back in the day, (when STO came out,) there was a training mission where you had to fight the Borg. In the mission they boarded your ship and you had to defeat them. Whatever happened to that mission?

2. Why can't we replay the first mission of each episode?

3. For the EMH and TOS Bridge officers, why can't we change their outfits, and why can't we change the EMH gender and looks to what we want?

    1. Replaced by the new tutorial. The original tutorial had Zachary Quintos (Spock from new Star Trek movies) as an EMH.
    2. The first mission of certain arcs is an introductory mission to the area. Since all it does is introduces the main contact of the arc to the character, then there is no point in replaying it.
    3. Captains and Bridge Officers are defined by a certain gender and race. So it is not possible to change those.

    1 and 2 have already been answered completely.

    For 3 I suspect, additionally to what was already said,

    (a) a technical limitation on making the player able to only change outfits without changing other looks. Surely could be implemented, but questionable return on investment

    (b) especially with the EMH being "The EMH", and the TOS characters being THE TOS characters, I would guess that there is also a thing about the people (or their estates) and CBS being involved. You cannot just "change a character" as you like when using him/her in your material, you need permission from the owners of the copyright. Which they won't probably give. Apart from that, what would be the main reason for a fan to change the looks of an original character? (Yeah, some would like to make them their sex kitten or tomcat, but that probably also is discouraged).

    I was under the impression from stowiki the the EMH could change his clothes. They have pictures of him wearing the Odyssey uniform and the VOY uniform.
    Then there is the KDF female orion EMH, i assumed that she would be more customizable.

    So there is no budge on them at all?

    Edit: Can the EMH be reclaimed if dismissed?
    Because i just found out my holo leeta convention doff cannot be reclaimed.

    The EMH can be relcaimed as many times as you want. As for Holo Leeta, she is a duty officer, like any duty officer if you get rid of her you cannot get her back, unless you have another convention code!

    ^well, just like any other promotional item that appears in the cstore after you put in a code i assumed it would also be unlockable. This is was totally reasonable. I have 2 admiralty cards i can reclaim.
    I am not a dimwit cuz dooty officer rulz....

    There is no real reason it shouldn't have been, i think this was an oversight.
