How about Androids as an unlockable race once you reach Admiral rank? That would be even better than lifer subs. Besides, the lifer exclusives are now over.
I don't like Android. Java based OS? eww... Can I get an iPad instead? I'm no fan of Apple, but at least the iPad's OS and applications are native to the cpu.
Androids would be terrific, but we don't need more parts of the game for some people and not others.
I agree. Speaking for myself only, I've already received more than enough perks for being a lifer. I'd rather all these things are open and available to everyone to enjoy.
After working the PAX booth for close to 30 hours straight, a fan came to the booth and very politely asked me if we would ever allow players to play "androids" - to which I said, "No way. You can't be an android!" and then went on to describe why that would be incredibly broken.
Looking a bit sad, then they asked if we would allow players to play EMHs, to which I responded "Sure, I don't see a problem with that."
Ever since then, the internal joke to any question having to do with androids is "NO WAY. YOU CAN'T BE AN ANDROID!"
So... this thread made me laugh and I wanted to come in here and say....
YOU CAN'T BE AN ANDROID!
(well at least until we make them available)
LMAO, I had to read that a couple of times to get it.
SoSOME OF!!!!!!! the lifers are going to keep going on and on about more rweards they should get , not to mention creating a even bigger divide.
I fixed that for you.
Please stop generalizing. I challenge you to find a post I as a lifer have made where I have said that everyone should not have access to everything we already have.
Or you can just read what I just posted...

Do you need me to increase the font size so you can understand that better?
Course I also like the idea of the Captain's Table eventually becoming a vet reward.

Lifers do not need any more exclusive extras. We should be glad the Devs gave us what they did, not expect to get more. Anything further should be tied to a Veteran's Reward system, which we would qualify for automatically anyway. This way everyone has an equal chance to earn any new perks.
Demanding more toys for lifers just creates more angst on the boards. I think we've had more than enough of that nonsense already.

Make it a vet reward, not a lifer reward. And dont just make it a available robot, give us a mission to find the parts to build it.
example, a series of missions where your salvaging scrap wreks and settlements on distance palnets, for one part we might have to go to a borg hive to find something for it. You get the idea.

Haha Cool story Brah--- So if i was there I would throw your stapler off your desk in a joking manner and make you explain to me how an emh is any different than an android... hahaha
I like the idea of Androids but would implement them differently...
I would like to see some sort of a system introduced where you find items randomly through out the the game that would could be assembled into useful items, tools, or bridge officers. Collecting Android Arms, legs, torso, and head will give you an unlock option for an Android BO. Collecting the lost journals of Sarek would give your Vulcan officers a slight increase in thier skills. Uncovering evidence of Kirk's illegitimate children would up your toon's sex appeal....well maybe we'll pass on that one.
It would be a nice way to revamp the exploration missions.
A few examples:
1. Have a piece of a collection hidden in the run and scan missions, maybe in the last probe you find.
2. Have collection pieces hidden in derelict ships (could even be done in PVP missions). Does it make sense that you'd stop from time to time to check on a damaged or possibly destroyed ship? Not only could you discover collections but officers, ship equipment, weapons, new mission triggers, etc.
3. Collections could be earned by completing missions in under 5 minutes, by vaporizing x number of ground forces during a mission, or by finding an object hidden in a current map.
Collections should not be easily given and should be rare. Odds of getting a collection drop would decrease by increasing difficulty, mission type, and by teaming with other players.
First thing first, Caitian bofs. I was hoping they would be added same time as playable Caitians, but to no avail. Also I have a friend looking for a Benzite bof, which also seems to not exist. As for bonuses, I think maybe an Android bof, or another unique bof should be added and given to players either lifers or vet rewards. I would actually prefer the bof to be a Vet reward, maybe 500 day. As for lifers, I think they should give lifers access to Borg components they can add to THEIR character (captain onlyl not bofs) regardless of species. Not major component like the Liberated Borg have, by minor components. Like: cheek implants, the piece over they eye, borg exo parts over hand, etc. I would have settled for Captain's Table, but it seems like almost everything else that was "unique" it will soon be available to everyone (like preorders and Galaxy X).
One thing though, for either EMH bofs or Android bofs, make them full customizable (alien creator) so they can be any species, any gender.

I know many androids. Some of my best friends are androids.
Yeah I find it funny too for much the same reason. Can do quite alot with Aliens.
:eek:

I think they eventually did do that.
Shouldn't that be iPADD?
I like the idea of an "Android Playable Race" available through the C-Store so that anyone can get it.
Lifers only would be a huge mistake, there is enough division in this game already.
I like this idea.
I'd play an adroid if I could have one as a playable captain. Even if I had to buy it from the C-Store.

I propose......
..... zombies.

So the Android should be tactical... that settles it
