A Small but interesting Idea

While testing the Ship interiors out on tribble i noticed that the captains quarters had plant pots along the window and after exploring my ship and play around with the trophies/ships i had this idea

instead of just putting some generic plants in there why not put miniature version of the plants we've scanned on the exploration missions? and we can switch them in and out like we can the trophies/ships

the artwork on the walls would nice as shelves to put trophies/ships/artwork (we decide) and maybe somewhere like the crew lounge would benefit more from the paintings (or at the very least give us the option of what we want on the walls)

just a small and quirky idea i had :)

    There is nothing wrong with that. You are describing a more sandbox customizable game and you should be demanding it and not asking :)

    well it wouldn't affect the gameplay dynmaics very much... just give my quaters a more personal feel

    Heck, why not have various seeds available as drops or by exploration, letting folk grow their own plants? Each plant can have different effects, and could be cross-bred with others to make rarer plants. Rarer plants could be used as advanced food or synthesised into medicine. Kinda like the tribble mechanic we have already, but appealing to the gardeners out there.

    Kes grew stuff, so it's canon!

    u know thats a really good idea
    it could be a consumable like hyposprays that gives u a status buff or debuff for 5 minutes

    I really like the idea.. and would expand on it too!

    I'd like to see the chance to include screenshots as wall art. I've had some pretty cool shots of my crew and ships before and it would be nice to be able to have the game be able to apply a "paint like" filter to it and load it as a picture on my quarter's walls..

    growing plants for buffs i like too, but I think we should have a choice for a hydroponics bay for that.. maybe an optional room or two you can configure into something like that, with different catagories for sci, eng and tac? like an armoury as seen in ENT where tactical items can be upgraded (kits for example, being able to customise kits would be awesome) and so on.

    maybe the captains could grow small plants.. both tuvok and neelix grew orchids and bred them? they could be tradeable and have several dozen breeds etc..

    I love the idea of sandbox customisation, I'm also very aware that it'll all (as in every single possible variable, every combination, all the graphics, the interfaces etc...) need coding in before it can happen... so i'm more willing to ask, hint and wait than demand :)

    i agree with u Shi.

    no point in demanding something. we can request it and if this idea gets enough support that might consider putting it in :)

    i'll draw up a more detailed idea for what it could be :)

    cool idea Neo.

    be fun with found 'eggs' too...... for random cosmetic pets.


    :)


    could even go as far as 'finding' furniture or interior 'upgrades' in interior ground or ship missions....swap out your ready room chair or desk perhaps?


    new fish in the fishtank ?

    heh...

    Gee, can we get some curtains for the windows? Starlight just seems so bright at times especially when trying to nap in your ready room in between missions.

    And mirrors, we need LOTS of mirrors.

    Oh, and some "facilities" (or bathrooms) please? Working Sonic showers would be nice.

    We need wardrobes for all of our uniforms and off-duty clothes.

    Larger ships need day care facilities for all of the kids that will be running around.

    Devs - can ya'll hold off on all of that content-type-stuff and just improve on the vanity stuff so we all can be comfortable and look good while sitting around waiting on the new eventual content and factions that you won't be able to get around to because you're spending time on all this useless vanity stuff for folks that just want to visit and stay in the movie sets? PLEASE? ;)

    this is what i thought ship interiors would be like. (and smaller, but thats whole other issue)

    being able to only choose a trophy for 2 shelves in my ready room and NOTHING in my own personal quarters? i want to choose a color scheme. Maybe i dont want a blue bed...maybe i want a green one...or hell what if i wanted a pink one?! haha.

    maybe i could have a pet in my quarters? i wouldnt mind a dog running around (archer had one)

    does my captain have a family? they could be walking around my quarters if i do!

    im just coming up with random junk at this point, but i want some options for my ready room and quarters.

    OH and i wish there was something going on outside the windows...maybe im in warp or something...
