Where are the Tholians??

So where are the Tholians?

I've not heard anyone mention them yet.

In all the various incarnations of Trek, they have always been rather mysterious and evidently as technological capable as the Federation/Starfleet.

It'd be neat to see them put into the game.

So I say, give us Tholians!!!!

I don't want to play one, just have em in the game as a npc race.

    If my memory serves, Tholian space is coreward of the Federation, translating to further north than our map stretches in game. Remember, the Federation expands quite a bit further north than the Romulan border.

    Tholian Web would make for an interesting Fleet Action.

    A Tholian Web style episode would make a cool fleet action indeed. Or even a simple episode to save a ship that the Tholians are webbing to destroy or drag away.

    Tholian webs and the tactical challenges that they would provide would definitely be an interesting addition to the game, and in ground combat they could be really tough to handle. I really hope that the Tholians are added in at some point, as they would make a great expansion to the game and give Cryptic a lot of room for creativity since there is so little known about them.

    Indeed. Thier ships would be cool to see as well, since we've only ever seen the smaller ones and never anything bigger.

    Don't forget the game isn't 'offically' out until tomorrow (friday for us UK people) i'm sure there are lots of add-ons and races to come... give them time.

    I bet we see the Tholians as part of future content. I agree, that would make a fun Fleet action.

    I was attacked by Tholians in the Verenus Arm (or whatever that unexplored sector is.)

    Really?? SWEET!!!!

    I gotta get out there.

    Tholians are one of the neater races in Trek.

    One hope though is they don't got the SFB route, cause suddenly we'll be neck deep in Kzinit, Selonians, ISC, Andorians, Frax, Hydrains, Lyrans, and others lol.

    That's actually a really cool idea. Hope they include them in a future update. Also can't wait to see how they will be doing Q.

    I recall reading years ago that the Tholians were not organic, but crystalline life forms. I look forward to bumping into them.

    The way they were handled on Enterprise's Mirror Mirror episode was neat, and yep, they are a crystaline insectoid kinda race.

    Q ... ummm ... that will be interesting.
