Okay, I just had to share this story. If you have feedback, great; if you have your own funny story, that's great too.
So there I am, rescuing scientists from a burning science station. There are fires everywhere, so I rip some fire extinguishers off the wall, and pass them out to my away team- keeping one for myself, of course.
When we came to a fire, sometimes the team would try to find a way around; other times they would just stop at the fire, and go no further; and once in a while they would just run right in and catch on fire. The one thing they never tried was putting out the fires- well, if you want something done right... So I put them out myself, and we rescued the scientists.
A mission or two later, we're down in the swamp, surrounded by Gorn warriors, mortars, and pet dinosaurs- I'm talking about some really nasty troops here, and the whole swamp was full of them. Luckily, I had my bridge crew with me! What would I do without these guys, right? They're my brain trust, my A-Team! So the Gorn attack, and my crew charges into the fray (very outnumbered, mind you), and do the only thing that makes any sense in this situation. They use the fire extinguishers.
On Gorn assault troops.
I kid you not. They pulled out those fire extinguishers, and started spraying gray smoke everywhere! Much dying ensued. Not the kind I had hoped for, either.
After we rezzed, I went around the group and confiscated everyone's firefighting equipment before we went back into battle. I just hope my ship never catches on fire, because we will be doomed.:rolleyes:
I gave my Healer Bo a tribble say ya he'll be last one to die Wrong he is petting his tribble like theres no tomorrow i mean we not fighting he dont pet it but first sign of enemy he goes crazy with it like oh here forgot to pet you today. Non stop Petting the thing does he fire NO.
Pretty funny. Personally, I think they should start using their imagination in making use of some of these bugs creatively down the road. Meaning that once they fix these bugs (or the server upgrades eliminate them) maybe they could concoct some missions that actually use the bugs in a creative way.
For example, since the extinguisher effect is pretty cool, why not some sort of cool "Cryogenics" weapon that freezes targets in place or slows them down. Or turn it on its ear and make it a flamethrower -- I can't see Federation forces using that, so maybe give it to the "bad guys." :eek:
Other Examples:
-A mission with, well, space-ship sized people -- Space Gods, if you will -- to use the "avatars in space" bug.
-A mission where your space ship in fact gets miniaturized and you have to scoot around at the floor blasting full size people, and solve something in order to be transported back into space at the normal size.
These are my warped thoughts whenever those bugs occur. That once they fix them, they can - in just an individual mission - purposely bring back and put the "bug" to work some day. :cool:

hahahahahahaha That was awesome! Thank you for the story. And if you ever see a character running around spraying your leg with a fire extinguisher (with the utmost respect of course) it is me!
And yes, I'm probably going to be the reason why the devs will make sure at game launch that the mission removes your fire extinguishers when you have completed the quest : p

I did this exact same thing last night. Same mission afterwards I think as well. I even left the fire extenguisher on one of my guys just for kicks afterwards as he normally shoots a bit between cycles with the extenguisher.
first off-like the story, gonna give a fire extinguisher back to a BO. and if you see a dancing captain in club 47 randomly stop, spray fire extinguisher, dance somemore....dont worry, Starfleet Medical already knows my Avatar is insane, I just bribed them so he can go blow things up

HAHA your examples make me think of Inner Space and Land of the Giants
I gave my Healer Bo a tribble say ya he'll be last one to die Wrong he is petting his tribble like theres no tomorrow i mean we not fighting he dont pet it but first sign of enemy he goes crazy with it like oh here forgot to pet you today. Non stop Petting the thing does he fire NO.
Sounds like my Science officer. Although when she petted her's it grew, and Grew, and GREW untill it filled the hallway with golden glowing tribble fuzz. She couldn't mocve down the hallway.
Did I give up on the tribbles? NOOooo.. I gave all my team a tribble , and the petting party began. There was more petting than at a High school dance. Some how they managed to fire weapons with a tribble in hand while petting it at the same time.
Heedless to say my crew are forbidden to own, touch, or otherwise talk about them for fear of being jettisond out the nearest airlock..

omg! thats great......although none of my crew has past fire training, i did this with a fleet team, so i donno if my ferangi science officer knows what a extinguisher is
Great story there Rusty_Diodes. I totally busted up reading that. And I know exactly which mission you're talking about. Thing is, when I played it, my away team never beamed down with me. I was all alone in that friggin', flaming station.

You were better off without them! Except that you missed getting party wiped by the Gorn in the next mission, of course. I guess I can honestly say I died laughing!
I fired my weapon through the fire at the enemy Gorn on station before putting out the fires. The gorn ran and attacked me as I predicted they would. I stood at the fires edge firing my weapon away, all while the Gorn stood in the middle of the flames and enjoyed the soothing warmth of the flames about them. It was then I realized what I thought might be a tactical advantage was actually a soothing bath of heat and comfort for the giant lizard men, apparently fire has little effect on them.

ROFL ! I mean seriously i nearly tipped off my chair laughing while reading that! Too bad i wasn't the one to see this!
In other words.. the AI doesn't know what an item does.. it just activates them randomly when they are under attack.
Maybe that's also why they petted the tribble so many times.
Ahhhh! Mr. Diodes, Sir...But you forgot to take the most important person on your team.........ME!! Tis why the others commited suicide via Gorn, they could not live without me!

If you wish to join my away team, I'm afraid you must first replace the monkey TRIBBLE avatar.
Once that is done, I will be very happy to have you along! And if you behave, I'll even give you a fire extinguisher!
My story (not quite as funny) is the Disruptor beam that fell in love with me.
Mine starts on the "Treasure Trading Station" mission. After one firefight, I noticed a green beam coming down out of the ceiling attaching itself to my belt. At first, I thought it was something or somebody I overlooked so I left the area and waited for the target to present itself.
The beam stayed put.
All around the station, from objective to objective, the beam followed me, still attached to my belt. After a while, I gave up on it and rationalized it as a "transporter lock" that my ship was keeping on me.
It did finally go away but only after transporting back up to my ship. I guess it was a transporter lock after all.

I had to take the tribbles away from my crew. They wouldn't do ANYTHING other than pet tribbles until I did.
Okay, i've got two here. First is that on the mission "Azura Blues", i was able to kill all the orion with torps. Why? You know how sometimes in Away team missions you breifly spawn as your ship? Well, i was able to go the whole level as my ship! Not only that but in the Delta Volanis sector mission when you explor the last unexplored system and you have to take back the federation base, i gave my science officer the disruptor cannon, right? Well, he manages to kill me by using the explosive blast on the beytak right next to me over and over again, and healing their captain. Beat that!

Ah, perhaps THIS is why my science officer thought the extinguishers would have the opposite effect! He paid for his mistake with his life.:rolleyes:
