Anyone get the cane to do anything? I was in B'tran fighting Borg on the ground and it stayed dark the whole time whether i had someone targeted or not?
Is it like a Tribble and must be activated before battle?
lol :P kinda feels like yer using the force, eventhough yer in STO. ^^ the way all those guys get suspended in the air.
ROFL!!! I was thinking the same thing. Someone at Cryptic is a Force Unleashed fan. :eek:
I'm waiting for the lawsuit to be filed by Lucas against Cryptic.

Nah, Lucas can't file a lawsuit for TRIBBLE for anything related to Force Usage....except maybe gestures... but
Hypnotism, Lighting powers, levitation, telekenisis etc etc are all classic magic/fantasy powers.
The cane used by the TNG Episode and 2 of the Boss Devidians given to you as a series end gift so that you can "do unto others as the Devidians did to you"
It works fine and pretty neat if you are a lvl 7 Lieutenant. Made me another character and he is going to use that thing like crazy. Watching 3 Klingons in Starbase 24 rise off the ground like they were POSSESSED was so freakin COOL!:eek:

Exactly. The hand going up then the person, shortly afterward followed by the head and extremities falling back then the limp body levitating in the air. A nuisance suit maybe but something methinks cryptic could not afford whereas Lucas could easily and do it just for fun. Lucas has a reputation of being intolerant of anyone using references to Star Wars in their products.
A recent example would the Android phone. They use the term "driod" - reasonable yes? No According to Lucas and the term was licensed from him. Now who would confuse a phone product with R2D2 and its ilk?
Now flash back to this IP, the biggest competitor to SW in the scifi world and well seems to me it would reasonable that he may very well think something is amiss. This is especially so given the SW video games that show the same thing and with the new SW MMO coming out soon he may simply want to be preemptive so to speak. Sometimes it is not about legitimacy, or the money but simply about seeing what you can get away with.
After all we thought about SW so would he be wrong trying to argue that STO is coming to close to "his universe" in its manifestation?

Wasn't Trek using Devidians feeding on people like this long before Jedi could levitate people?
lol Noooo Devidians never canonicly levitated people either.
Devidians one and only appearance was in TNG "Times Arrow" a Two-part episode that started with Data's decapitated head being found in San Fransisco being 500 years old.
In Canon the cane was actually not used to drain neural energy but was actually used to create the Time Portals the devidians used to travel through.
Another device entirely was used to harvest neural energy.
I adore this cane. Nothing like charging into the middle of a bunch of brain blasting Remans and using it to refill your health bar... Scramble my brains will ya, ya damned bat eared freaks, I'll just suck out your souls!

(wish it did)
I have used it and it does heal.
Also try: setting up your Triolic enhancer pattern on a mission, and then using the cane ... good times.
It is silly to keep one Klingon char just for equip my other chars with melee weapons.
It's also epic to do that to an elite tatical drone >:D
