Either my science officer is misinformed about Federation Cloak technology or she's just plain stupid. Time for the STO writers to rewrite some dialog so it makes sense with their own game changes. :rolleyes:

    Or....the Defiant refits could be stolen Imperial warships :)

    All they have to do is add "except for that high priced slow turning Galaxy in the store and soon that refit Defiant"

    And what do the BO's uniforms have to do with this topic?

    Since it is said by a mirror universe officer, the "our" means the Terran Empire, not the UFP Starfleet. So it's still wrong but doesn't concern us and our new cloaking ships.;)

    While I agree, that they should make an explanation for the cloaks, the text (even when said by a Federation officer) is still half-way accurate. I didn't see any mirror Galaxy-X's or Defiants, so it should be "we don't have cloaking devices on these classes".:D

    Think about it like this. The story of STO takes place throughout a few years (obviously you aren't going to go from Ensign to Rear Admiral in a matter of days). At the time that mission takes place you are only a Captain (if I remember correctly). When you reach Rear Admiral a few "years" later cloak begins getting used on ships i.e. the Galaxy X and Defiant refit.

    Some of the fed threats on the klingon side are a bit odd. I think they could use a rewrite...feds do not speak like romulans.

    I would expect to hear things like "if you do not retreat from this area we will be forced to take action" or "we will defend ourselves if provoked", not "you will leave now or the results will be unfortunate".

    It makes as much sense as a Starfleet officer trill in outrageously outdated mirror universe garb.

    Most of the dialog in the game fall into one of these categories:
    1. inaccurate
    2. cheesy
    3. 1 and 2 mixed together for a special WTF blend
    4. something mundane but they use your full rank every single time they can
    5. the rare dialog bit that's actually cool

    (note that 1, 2, 3, and 5 are the views of this poster only)
