I'll need to dig it up. dstahl has talked about ambient critters for ages.
It certainly would be nice to see ambient critters first and THEN get the option to have one as pet ...not the other way arround.
Both aren't arriving close to each other?
I think the rationale for pets is that it allows the developers to create ambient critters for series/exploration and write-off the development cost by having a pet version go to the c-store.
The devs are able to justify labor costs for a low gameplay functioning addition (ambient critters) by having an additional monetized version (pets). This gets something people wanted without The Man getting all angry.
If this is just a "pet," like the Targ or the Tribbles on the C-store, fine. If this is the ambient creatures, as in, we have to buy this to get that ambient creature, than Cryptic should just close up shop. That would make it blatantly obvious that they have no intent of even providing basic services to this game.
I can't see how they could possibly charge for adding ambient creatures into mission maps in the game on a per person basis. I mean really, how would that work?
Of course this is just the pet version of an animal that will also be an ambient creature in the game. It's the only way selling it on the C-Store is logical.
What the problem this is the stuff that the c store should have.... just because it have a +300 eng and ken protection buff and has 5 different attacks and give a cbmt heal of 99% and is available only to fed players so what
Or follow LotRO's example and give all subscribers X number of points per month to spend in the C-Store, dependent on their subscription level. P2P people get all conventional content as well as points to get what's in the C-Store.
Nothing wrong with putting things up on the C-Store. Just give us a way to earn it in-game for those who would like the thing but refuse to buy it. Make it hard to earn, though.
No, no, and no. The only things you need to be able to earn in-game are ships that actually affect how you play. Cosmetic stuff like this is perfect for the C-Store only.
Now the big question is.. is it obtainable for both klingon and federation toons, if only federation toons, why was this pet done so and why was there no counter pet for us klingons :rolleyes:

Since its vulcan i don't think so just like the feds cant get a targ this would be the fed version of that

The KDF pet equivilent should be the Jackal Mastiff, in my opinion.
The Sehlat is native to Vulcan and the KDF players don't have access to the Vulcan Sector. :rolleyes: LoL

So basically atm both sides have a pet, so now its +1 to feds, i thought they said there would be a balance to things so that klingons would get the same level of content.. now its going to be +1 for feds once again
I remember a conversation on how they were going to make all things fair for both sides and also bring the same level of content out to klingon factioned players. Now they also discussed why klingon ships were in a wait because they had oringially started making fed ones first. So this pet... comes out of no where and isnt multi factioned. So again we are back to saying... where is our klingon content once again. I hope to see a pet for the klingon side to make things fair.

Check the signature!
Checked your sig. I'm not a C-Store hater nor am I in high-school. Thanks for playing.
D'oh! That's the one I voted for in the poll, not the Mastiff, lol. (Although, I wouldn't mind the Mastiff as well, but I've always liked Kruge's pet. )
It's more like a +2 to the Feds for pets xXLocutusXx, do Tribbles not count?
After all, they are a STO pet, which extra special features, allowing you to breed them, they give bonuses to the player using them, but Klingons despise them and will not use them.
To be fair, Cryptic should get on this situation now, then announce that the Jackal Mastiff or Klingon Monster Dog (Which is NOT a Targ) will be available to the KDF, better yet, both.
I voted for the Mastiff, would very much like one...

so your saying you would go to sleep on your klingon vessel with that hideous thing drueling on you... psh forget that id rather the Mastiff plus the other thing looks like a ugly crow on steroids and huge sharp teeth.

tribbs don't really count as pets but i do think that klink toons should be able to use em they can use 2 cant they?
dStahl,
....how about i buy 10 of those and the Excelsior on top of it and therefore you tell a Dev to fix your User Interface so that it doesn't put my GPU in sleep mode while playing?
tribbs don't really count as pets but i do think that klink toons should be able to use em they can use 2 cant they?
I think that the suggestion floating around to make a Targ-breeding program similar to the Tribble one Fed-side is the best way to go in order to bring the buffs to us.

*Mastiff released on Cstore, and Locutus buys it. *
* he comes across me in the game, and tells it to attack me. *
* I shoot it, and it dies.*
*Locutus finds out that the only way to revive it is to buy the medicine on the C-$tore *
lol... that was fun...
Seeing as your no friend of myn nor have played with me.. ill say this, ive had a klingon toon for along long time
*glares* dont make me smack you !!!!
tribbs don't really count as pets but i do think that klink toons should be able to use em they can use 2 cant they?
