Shatner in game:

Hey all,
I propose trying through professional channels to invite Shatner to be Kirk in Star Trek Online for a little mission involving either a flash back that ties in to a current story line (you play as Kirk on the Enterprise but then the end of the mission is your personal character in the 25th century,)
Features:
- Star Trek Undiscovered Country Bridge (Useable on all late 23rd century ships, Excelsior, Connie Refit, Miranda, Stargazer, Ambassador etc.)
- Star Trek 3 Search for Spock Hero Phaser Pistol (the one that has huge Knock back and when the orange beam hits the target waves of phaser energy ripple off target.)
- Kirk's Liesure Suit from Star trek's 3 and 4 the voyage home.
- Motion Picture Era Security Uniforms
- Update to the big Maroon uniforms overall including Admiral variant.
- Undiscovered Country Photon Torpedo (the Red lens flare torpedoes that Excelsior and Enterprise A blew up the BoP in Star Trek 6 with.)
- "Captain Under the Bridge" ground trait (your character does a dodge/roll and increases his threat presence-haha!)
Some kind of species Kirk helps before his retirement can then live on to meet your main character later in the 25th century where you check on them as Kirk promised the Federation would. This would just link your personal character's story to Captain Kirk's legacy giving papa Shatner a proper place in our beloved game.
Would love your ideas.
Also off topic entirely, the Stargazer deserves to be a T6 ship along with the Miranda and Excelsior and Connie. With Picard being back it's astounding to me we didn't get a T6 Stargazer, perhaps with this Kirk-centric mission we can see all late 23rd century(TmP era) ships brought up to T6 tier.
We have a sizeable number of Movie Era fans here. PPS: Please fix the phaser sound FX for the Undiscovered Country Phaser Assault Pistol, the Undiscovered Phaser Rifle has the proper sound, but the pistol is a generic TNG phaser sound. We need the Assault phaser noise!

I wonder if the problem is if the female actors will work if he's here. Or if some of the tekay rumors are true! 8p
Yeah that was branflakes and it did actually happen. He kept hounding shatner to get involved with STO on twitter in a way that came off as a trolling and passive aggressive fan type and shatner was having none of it, blocked him and then posted a screenshot showing he blocked him with a displeased comment and those screenshots ended up somewhere on the forums at some point. He made it pretty clear in no uncertain terms he had no interest or intention of having anything to do with STO after that incident. You'd think a community manager would know better than the behave like that. and like you said cryptic would never be able to afford him even if he was willing to forget about that incident
And frankly, I can't say that I miss his presence. Kirk is a major figure in Starfleet history, sure, but that's history. He's been listed as KIA since the Nexus incident back in the early 24th century, and we as Omniscient Viewers know he's been just plain dead since the late 24th. And I think we have enough historical figures running around the galaxy already, thanks - Kim and Paris and Holo-Burnham and Holo-Stamets and Abraham freaking Lincoln if that episode ever gets restored and...
i have been hopeing for the same thing with picard however i think we will not see them odds are they cost to much. same goes for Q the first time a q was in game most people were disappointed it wasn't John de Lancie
Our character hasn't been the hero of the story since at least Victory is Life.
For instance, about ST2009: There is also the fact it's because of him the Enterprise suddenly has the same gaseous anomaly tech to track Chang's BoP and thus, the Excelsior doesn't do much in the battle outside of tanking a few shots and helping blowing it up for good.
And there is of course the whole "Takei wanted Sulu to be Captain of his own ship since WoK, but Shatner wouldn't let the writers allow him".
If he is told what his role will be i am sure he will do it for free.
He'd be in any film, any series, STO...but they seemingly don't want him :-/
It's quite the opposite Shatner just doesn't want anything to do with STO, that ship sailed years ago.
Still the late 23rd, actually. The Enterprise-B was commissioned in 2293, the same year as the events of Star Trek VI. The TNG portion of Generations was in 2371.

It would be nice to hear him in game, but it seems like it just won't happen. He's been to space, and had an epiphany; he's seen death as he looked down at our dreary little gulag of a world.
What about the Chris Pine version of Kirk, Just make that one a temporal agent, BTW I'm kind of curious about what JJ Romulans look like since Nero and his crew is from the prime timeline universe, I figured that they wouldn't look too different.
Just ask Vic Mignogna, he's the best for the job.
Indeed, he is irascible...and a wee bit obtuse when it comes to his fame, but have you seen George Takei? lol Despite both being monumental d-bags, I'd still like to hear them in game, Uhura as well, before they pass on into the either. But, it won't happen; at this point it is what it is.
Hmm, maybe they can get Chris Pine to voice Kirk... *runs for cover*
He has become too expensive too...
