    There seems to be no reason for me not to get it since size is no longer an issue. Make it so cryptic! I have got credit card ready.

    There was a time when I would have taken this opportunity to tell you that you're out of luck and it will never happen.

    Recent developments however, have forced me to change that stance. They will put any ship in game no matter how ridiculous.. as long as it makes money.

    Want to fly a Star Destroyer? Or the Battlestar Galactica? Just make enough threads and it will eventually happen.

    There is pretty much nothing that I'll say will 'never happen' anymore.

    Sarcasm aside...
    I'm pretty confident in saying there will not be ANY Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica ships, or any ships from any franchise outside of Star Trek.

    Well, with any luck, Disney one day buys the rights to Star Trek, then it can happen, the most glorious sci-fi crossover that could ever be imagined :P *long winded evil laughing*

    Now that we have the Enterprise J, is it really too much to ask that we get a Hideki?
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.
  • rattler2rattler2 Member, Star Trek Online Moderator Posts: 58,596 Community Moderator
    Hideki is more plausible than Borg ships.

    I've recently determined that one of the more interesting things that could come out of a Star Trek crossover would be Data having a typical hero vs villain verbal sparring match with Brother Cavill, aka Cylon skinjob #1. They are as polar opposite as you can get with 2 humanoid machines; Data is mechanical but wishes to be more human, while Cavill is entirely biological but wishes he was mechanical as shown in this season 4.5 rant of his:

    That prize currently only has two choices in infinity boxes and it's tanked their value.

    no, what's tanked their value is that neither ship is anything special

    there are other, cheaper, ships that do their job just as well or better​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I want eight tac cubes fused together to make a super cube!

    Can't do that, not because it's ridiculous but licensing issues would kill that. Fusion cubes are already a thing in other games.

    Better go for something more plausible, a voth fortress ship with citadels as hangar pets. :D

    I'd prefer a flyable Dyson Sphere with 4 hangar slots and Voth Fortress Ships for each one.

    Pretty sure that gimmick is still owned by Activision (which Cryptic has been under orders by high above not to use).

    That being said, I'm normally not a fan of the idea of a playable borg cube/sphere. However, I think Cryptic should do it just to call the bluff of all the players who say they'll quit the game forevers and evers or that STO is jumping the shark for the Nth time or that it's another desperate "last cash grab" or whatever other hyperbolic nonsense excuse they feel compelled to come up rather than just being honest and admitting that they just don't like the idea.

    Because we can't just say "I don't like this", we have to throw in some heavy drama otherwise Cryptic won't understand how much we don't like it.

    Oh I think they will do it some day...with how the keep pushing the envelope more and more with ship size...but I imagine they're saving the true Borg ships for a rainy day as well...when they really need some cash flow.

    I am pretty sure CBS has explicitly forbidden playable Borg ships in any form.

    Unlike their ban on allowing a T6 Connie to be common, rather then a ban on having one at all.

    lol

    The Connie was *banned* till it wasn't...I don't know why CBS would allow players to control Undine ships while not Borg (Undine are more far fetched.)

    Considering all that is in STO these days...why would Borg be off limits when we pilot the likes of Undine, Iconian, and various Temporal ships...
