Enterprise themed episode arc?

c0mp

After going through all my boxsets, I'm finally up to Enterprise and I realised that apart from the NX-01 ship (and refit), uniforms and the cameos from Daniels, the Na'kuhl and the Xindi, there hasn't been any story arcs based on Archer and his crew or ship (or era really). I was wondering why the devs are creating new species when they haven't yet given us the full Star Trek experience. I for one would love to create an Enterprise era federation & Klingon captain. Think of the new T1-6 ships that could be created. You could even have the Xindi as a playable race similar to the Jem'Hadar. With their various races and ships it could be a fun faction to play around with.

Really I just want this to be a reality so we would finally get the NX-01 bridge lol.

I don't think anyone would object to an actual NX interior, but at the moment I think anything Enterprise related is on the backburner due to newer shows and already established plans.

Hell... I still want to see Enterprise era ground weapons to go with the uniforms.
I've said it many times how they could even pull it off too!
Phase Pistol/Rifle = Beam
MACO Pistol/Rifle = Bolt

We even see Archer dual wielding EM Pistols in the pilot!

We could start as a playable captain OR the missions could focus what happens after 'Terra Prime' but before 'These are the Voyages'. Finishing the plot with attending the signing of the Federation Charter. Some of the missions could give us as fans some sense of closure that we didn't really get from the show or maybe it could just be fun. Of course this is the fed side of the coin, for the KDF imagine having a toon forcibly transformed into a TOS Klingon even though you started with a traditional ridged Klingon (not knowing too much about Klingon history for this era limits my imagination for mission scenarios)

If they ever did this, I would not want to have a KDF that was forcibly transformed, it would have to be a new storyline for the TOS, TOS KDF instead. Either that or add the Enterprise episodes after the TOS missions on that storyline. Otherwise, I like the idea but we have so many factions/fractions as it is.

The time-travel arcs are almost completely Enterprise, with just the krenim (Voyager) and vorgons (TNG) thrown in. We even see the NX-01 itself, but naturally avoid contact to preserve the timeline.

The game also already contains pretty much every non-oneshot ship from the series (and plenty enough of the oneshots, too).

Technically, there is the Romulan War that could be done (as that fits in with the period you describe) but there's a factor to consider: What happens when the Enterprise character arc is completed?

As it stands now, we have sub-factions of the Federation that jump into the future: TOS and Discovery. Adding a third would just be repetitive at this point.

We've already had tons of Enterprise content throughout the game. So much that there's virtually nothing left to tap from the canon source material. The only Enterprise thing left to do is the actual Enterprise bridge itself which will sadly probably not happen.

They could run a suspended animation plot device to 'freeze' you from Ent until the 'Disco era then work in a nice little tie-in to the TOS, running a lengthy plot through at least 3 eras. to tie into the rest of the game what about Scottys' ship from TNG, where Captain Scott was stuck in the transporter buffer, you could be in a similar senario. That would bring us to the end of TNG we just need a new mcguffin to bring us to the main STO timeframe.

I could see them doing a one off mission about the automatic ship repair station the Enterprise ran into, but that's about it.

Surely the Federation would've finished off that station long ago.

Given that the station had Vaadwaur corpses on it, it seems to be able to move around a lot. Who knows where its been since it ran into the NX. It could have left the area of local space shortly after, to go find some new species to prey on.

Good point

It's a station. It displayed no ability to move at all.

How the vaadwaur (who had been in cryosleep since the 15th century, besides being from the delta quadrant) ended up there, is a curiosity. However, it doesn't mean the station itself has moved. Far more plausible explanation is some vaadwaur having traveled here before their fall. Their "underspace" gave them an extremely wide reach, covering at least the entire range Voyager traveled in the delta quadrant and likely beyond. Even if it didn't go as far as the alpha quadrant, it would have reached the Barzan wormhole.

Proto-Borg technology stealing facility.

will be nice to see.

Also, the NX refit in game is a nice one, it, like the Mesh Weaver, can be a real phaser beast.

Phaser only? One of my fleetmates made one into a Tetryon beast. And had an appropriate name too.

Maybe an episode where Berlinghoff Rasmussen's time travel pod is found and studied before he re-steals it, and we chase him back to his own time in the 22nd century where we deal with Archer/Enterprise in their own conflict.

I never understood this... need to go "forward" as if we're not allowed to explore certain areas of Trek History.
Forwards, backwards, sideways... Trek is Trek. Its just dependant on which ship and crew we're following.

People ranted against Enterprise because "it wasn't going FORWARD. We're supposed to be going FORWARD". What they don't see is that we're actually seeing the tech we are all familiar with being developed, and how Starfleet got going. With Discovery, we saw the development of one of many technologies that were promising, but ultimately abandoned and never touched again. Not only that, we got some history for one of the more famous Trek characters, Captain Pike.

And before anyone rants about the Spore Drive and how we never hear about it again... how many times have we heard of Genesis, M5 Computer, or the Excelsior's Transwarp Drive after those failed? We don't. The Spore Drive got buried. Probably right alongside Genesis.

It would be impossible for him to steal the pod again because it vanished after he was caught. We could, however, have an episode where we track down where and when the pod went and return it to it's owner(s).

I just mean it appears in 2410 instead of where he thought he was sending it, because he made a typo during that TNG episode. Typos are the wrost.

Content, maybe not. Visuals or ships, there's a lot.

• Intrepid (NV), Sarajevo (NC), Franklin (Freedom), Emmette, and Warp Delta ships.
• The 10 or so Vulcan ships, the Andorian battlecruiser (The Kumari ingame is an escort based on the Kumari Class), the Ferengi ship, the Orion Interceptor, the BoP, the BoP/Raptor hybrid the Augments captured, the D5, the D5 tanker, the Rebel Transport that fanbois conveniently forget about when complaining about DSCs Klingon ships. Romulan Drone Ship.
• The light green Klingon hull material for all Klingon ships (the TOS and DSC Klingon ships are the only canon hull materials we have ingame, we don't even have TNGs green or the TMP grey/blue).
• The ENT Admirals uniform, the dress uniform, the 2161 uniforms (epaulets, name tapes, and duel arm patches), the Franklin uniforms, Eddison's bomber jacket. The Vulcan and Andorian uniforms. Hell, the Klingon rags, the KDF could do with some unique off duty stuff.
• Starfleet and MACO EV suits.
• Klingon hair, beards, and ridge patterns. Most were reused from DS9 but some were new and represent the best the TNG style Klingons ever looked before the vastly superior KT ones were made.
• Phase pistols, MACO pulse pistols, MACO pulse rifles (and the sniper version), Phase rifles (the converted Jem Hadar rifles funnily enough). Klingon pistols (made from the handles of pressure washers) and their rifles (of which no props seem to have survived).
• Ship phase cannons (red beams), ship plasma cannons (the red bolts on the Franklin), spatial torpedoes.
• Sulaban for the RR.
• NX bridge and interior. Franklin bridge and interior.
• Shuttlepod. NX type and the Klingon one from the pilot. Cell ship for the RR.

We sort of have these as Scimitar carrier pets.

I know. I mean as playable ships. Pilot escorts I was thinking, considering how they moved. Pair it with the Vahklas and the little Andorian ships .

The problem with anything related to the Franklin is that it appeared in Star Trek Beyond. While they are technically Enterprise Era... they fall under the Kelvin Timeline umbrella in terms of licensing.

And in my own little world where the ENT era gets any attention the rights to the KT films have also been sorted out.
