A Suggestion About Balloons

While I don't mind see the balloons, let's face it. People do take them to far. This would be alright if they lasted only a few minutes. But they don't, which is where the problem arises. To many polluting the game environment when people take them to far.
Now, one can combat this by turning max physical objects down. But, this also removes environmental pieces as well.
My suggestion here, is a needle gun, peashooter, or something along these lines, with which we can pop said balloons. I would even take like a tank pet that does this.
Could even make this a weapon, like the ones you use in Winter Wonderland. Usable against every day balloons, and as a part of balloon shooting contest for the the Lohlunat, It would mean making a new event for that, but this is just a side thought that came up as I typed this out.
This also creates more fun for the players, because really, who doesn't like popping balloons?

Perhaps the balloon horn balloons could be invulnerable for N seconds (20? 60?) so that griefers can't pop them before you can play with them.
Though, I am not seeing very many balloons...is this a Starfleet problem?

just like his/her balloons.
Yes.....because Klingons don't know how to have fun with balloons.
I don't know if it's just Starfleet who blow too many balloons - it seems to be a Drozana and DS9 thing, those are open zones.
I do miss the third anniversary with (old) ESD filled to the ceiling with giant balloons. This year's balloon blower is broken. Most of the time it doesn't do anything at all, one balloon ship comes out maybe half the activations, and half of those pop in 2 seconds. And people still whine about them...sad.
Fix the balloons so they actually come out, make them bigger and last forever. And let us use them from inventory without equipping them, like other noncombat devices. For great justice.
Odd, mine has worked 100% of the time and the balloons last for minutes.
Q likes me better
All other party guns have been nerfed to OBLIVION and actually is laughable what they have become these days...really balloons size are like 1/100 of size of what they used to be originally in 1st/2nd anniversary. Do you want them to be 1/10000000000000th of its current size?
Nerfed party balls, party guns, PvP, DPS...and now balloons. Yikes real party pooper.

should have option to turn off Effects from other players... unless your doing PVP do you really need to see/hear what other folks are doing? TeamSpeak and call out if your gonna pop an Ability in Group.
Oh, I don't have to crash my BoP around your Bridge....I just bring my Party Poppers to annoy you.

How is my suggestion being a party pooper?
I think you're missing the point. While I did mention how one can combat the spam of them. I also mentioned how one could get enjoyment from popping them. I also included a carnival style event to go with it.
I mean they could even add a water balloon type deal, much like the snow ball from the winter event.
So overall, this makes balloons more enjoyable for all. Instead of just being the environmental pollutant that they currently are.
I'm actually trying to make it more fun for all. So, again, I ask you, where am I being a party pooper?

ESD has a very high ceiling. I was in Quark's this morning and someone was working to fill it with balloons.

However, during the 3rd anniversary, people could and did fill old!ESD with balloons while the giant balloons glitch was on. Then Cryptic spoiled our fun by "fixing" it.
What are they good for!!
Absolutely nothing!!
