C-Store Request: "Memories" Bridge Pack

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
With all the effort that has gone into giving players options for various "period" starships and uniforms, I would like to request that Cryptic take the final step in making the experience complete.

"Memories" Bridge Pack

The Memories Bridge Pack would include 4 historical bridge options for your ship. The bridges would reflect the following:
  • USS Enterprise NCC-1701 - Constitution Class (The Original Series)
  • USS Enterprise NCC-1701 - Constitution Class Refit (The Wrath of Khan)
  • USS Excelsior NCC-2000 - Excelsior Class (Star Trek VI / Voyager Episode: "Flashback")
  • USS Enterprise NX-01 - NX Class (Enterprise Series)

In addition to the 4 bridges, the player would have access to corresponding ship interior skins which would reflect the architecture and ambieance of those periods in Star Trek history. There would be 3 interiors, which would reflect the following:
  • Enterprise Era
  • TOS Era
  • TMP / TWOK Era

Crewman in these interiors would be dressed using the TOS, ENT and TWOK uniforms, respectively rather than the default uniform ship interior crewman use now.

Suggested Price for the "Memories" Bridge / Interior Pack: 1750 C-Store Points


Ultimately I feel this would give players who like the earlier eras portrayed in Star Trek alot of enjoyment, and would be incredibly popular with the roleplaying crowd. It could also set up the C-Store for a sequel called the "Memories 2" Bridge / Interior Pack which could be used to replicate the TNG / DS9 / VOY eras with corresponding interior design and crewman dressed in period uniforms.

Thank you for your consideration.

    That actually makes a lot of sense except... I think the C-Points cost should be more towards 2500 for all that as a bundle, this way CBS can claim a 'reasonable' piece of the cost

    Even at 2500 I know I'd still purchase it. Much over that though, and I'd have to give it some serious thought.

    And I think from the hardcore TOS and ENT fans, and even the TWOK era fans, this sort of package would get alot of purchase and a serious chunk of change for Cryptic.

    Shipwide customization options are a great idea.

    However, it might be better to split each 'era' out into it's own pack. There are plenty of TOS fans who regard ENT with nothing but hatred, and would begrudge having to pay for anything from that series.

    So, how about the four options being:
    • TOS era
    • TMP era (with those wonderful beige walls)
    • TWoK -> Undiscovered Country era
    • ENT era

    And separate bridge packs with the following:
    • TOS Bridge - including Defiant, Constellation and Mirror Universe redresses
    • Movie Enterprise - from TMP to Undiscovered Country
    • Excelsior Class Bridge - from Search for Spock, Undiscovered Country, and Generations.
    • Enterprise Bridge - including NX-02 Columbia set redress

    I could go for that idea as well. It certainly allows some room for a variety of options as well, such as the Generations / Columbia NX-02 redresses that you mentioned.

    Cool idea. The Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan, and Undiscovered Country bridges were all noticeably different. If they had to choose only one I'd prefer the Undiscovered Country bridge but it would be neat to see all of the different variations.

    This is a fantastic idea, however many of us have been asking for "Canon" bridges for a long time and so far have gotten no real response from any one.

    I don't know why but they seem pretty silent about this whole thing while vocal about other topics. I don.t know why.

    You would think actual "Star Trek" Bridges would have been 1st priority when creating this game.

    To be fair tho. they have come close with the "Galaxy Class" Bridge but that's it.

    Weird tho ,huh?

    And for completeness, maybe a Mirror Universe TOS interior with saluting crewmen and free I.S.S. Prefix?

    They have responded to this topic a few times (though it's been awhile).

    Paraphrasing ...

    They can't make the classic TOS bridge because the geometry is too small for their camera to fit you on that bridge.

    They can't make the classic TOS bridge because they can't get the time/resources/staff to do it right now.

    They can't make the bridge from Voyager because they can't get the art elements to fit right.

    Basically they say they can't do it because of the same issues that tend to plague all of their interiors.

    If I'm misrepresenting prior posts on the issue, I'm sure someone will correct me.

    Actually it's a bridge and interior pack. Also, as first proposed, it would have had 4 bridges from 4 eras, and 3 interiors. However, Someone else proposed a single class bridge setup, and if Cryptic went that route, I would agree that the 750 price would be more in line.

    This is an awesome idea! I love the idea of the crew uniforms for the different eras, but I would ask to add the ability to have my crew default uniforms as an option when those are implemented.

    I personally like the idea of having the interiors match the eras of the bridge pack, but i am not a fan of some of the older uniforms. Having the option to set which uniforms we want would be great.

    I think the concept is a great idea. Right now my Sovereign class has the same interiors as my Constitution class. Looks nice yeah but they were never the same lol Specific interior packs would be great
