Enterprise Pack, really?

I'm not sure if others have posted their frustration about this, but I am going to.
Considering Enterprise was by far the least successful series of the Trek franchise, I cannot believe that we are getting an entire pack coming up that involves an NX ship, uniforms, etc. all while fans of other series like TOS, TNG, etc. wait for c-store items from those eras to trickle in little bits or that we get rare items (like the TOS handphaser from the latest episode).
What about a pack involving more TOS stuff, like tricorder, communicator, etc. Or a TNG style lab coat, Dr. Pulaski's style of medical uniform, or Chief O'Brien's rolled up sleeves uni from DS9? Or a Klingon sash for our Fed klinks and klink boffs? TNG style away equipment? How about finally updating the Trek II-VI uniforms so they display different ranks?
I know that we already have bits and pieces from the other series (especially uniforms) but that is all it is...bits and pieces. Why not finish off the other eras and make adjustments to what we have now before doing an entire pack on Enterprise stuff?
That's all

I am looking forward to the NX items. Given that this game will be around for many years you can count on it that ALL THINGS Trek will eventually make into the game at some point. So give it time and you will see the Pulaski Med Uniform.
IDIC...it's what's for dinner.
I even plan on using this ship on my VA full time insdead of my Interpid
OMG i cant wait still got 2 more days (hopefully) before its relase
Arczer
Good luck with that. You are in for a VERY unpleasant surprise....
(I'll give you a clue....POPCORN!)
And hell if we're making judgements based on writing we're going to have to remove the intrepid, nova, and prometheus and all their variants.
Yeah no.
The NX-01 is a Tier 1 ship like the Mirandas and TOS Connies.
And while you certainly can still fly her at VA, you're going to have a very hard time doing much anything.
ENT was cool later on...loved the uniforms. That was about it. lol I'm kinda excited, I'll definitely get it for the uniforms.
bahahahaha!
(a deep klingon belly laugh)
I am in agreement that ST: Enterpirse was poorly done from the start. The person who deserves the most blame for inconsistanies is Michael Okuda. Gene Rodenberry had him collect and compile infromation from the Original Series, and the Next Genreation so as to maintain continuity. That was part of the success of the francise. Him signing off on several of the stories that directly contradict what has come before (or after in this case) was a major foul on his part. If CBS/Paramount had told him to "stuff it, we're doing it our way", then the executives would be to blame. Plenty of balme to go around, but he gets the most.
Sorry for the tangent. I support clumping all the features from the "step child" series in one pack as I certainly would not purchace it piecemeal. I may find some useful, but I highly doubt I will use all of them.
That was pretty much my first impression towards the OP, too, but not quite that harsh. While I am not a huge fan of Enterprise, I do have to admit that it picked up quite a lot towards the end and I was actually sad to see it get canceled after the fourth season. I would have loved to have seen the Romulan War and actual founding of the Federation (and NOT the weak Holodeck simulation they had in the series finale...a big copout IMO).
Everyone has their favorite series, and for some it's Enterprise. It does not make sense to cater to those who like TOS, TNG, DS9, and VOY and leave out ENT.
(yeah im a enterprise fan
^ This.
I think TOS had a better series finale...and they didn't even have one. Bringing back Riker and Troi (which, ok, sure, I like Riker) was a major foul. And killing Trip off, too. I still don't fully understand how that convinced Riker to tell Picard the truth about the Pegasus.
Well i would say Enterprise was bad planed but well executet. There was no reason for things like... well calling the Ship Enterprise... Voyager didnt suck because of the ships name.
And I would blame Scott Bakula for the low ratings.... i HATET almost every second of his prefomence and the way Archer was written (and I dont know why they focused the most storys on the worst character).
But beside that i enjoyed Enterprise as much as TNG or DS9, definitly more then Voyager.
And for the continuity.... that was eeven more carefuly watched then in other shows before.
I mean it seams like a rotten compromise to show Borg and Ferengie althogh we know the first contacts were much later and "excusing" that with just not naming them "Borg" or "Ferengie", but that gave us at last nice episodes.
And I ashure you for every canon failure of Ent i'll show you 2 in Voyager or Ds9.
I wouldn't blame the actor. He was doing the best he could with a character that the writers were trying to make a mishmash of Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. Their wrting came off as schizophrenic, except that schizophrenics have more consistency. As far as the stories, the writers were often trying to rehash an older episode, and failed miserably.
Checking for continutiy was poor at best. That is part of why the ratings with the old guard Star Trek Fans crashed. Gene Rodenberry specifically set TNG 80 years later to avoid continuity issues. DS9 and TNG worked because they were produced and released simulatnously, and each episode aired was during the same timeframe. Voyager also worked because they were out of contact on the far side of the galaxy, and the Federation was never there (except for the brief period in "The Price") It is easier to write as story set after than try to do a prequel.
I loved the ship, the fragility of things, the "seat of our pants" nature of the show. I loved Phlox, and Malcolm.. and yes I loved Archer too. I loved the green slave women, the fist fights and shootouts, the torn shirts, the space suits....
I'm looking forward to the enterprise pack.. and even though they're planning to release the NX Enterprise as a tier zero ship.. I'll no doubt pick it up just for kicks. Though I'm hoping we'll see an "Admiral" level version in the future as well.. because I'd like to fly something like that.
I'll still hold out for my Ambassador Class.. but until that comes, I'll take the NX Enterprise.. and have fun playing with the uniforms too.
Roll it out as a "flagship" for your fleet or tactical group much like the old sailing ship used by the U.S. Navy today .... a ship that shows the flag and that's about it.
Ie ... the glorified captain's yacht to be rolled out when you are simply moving about for crafting or other non-combat missions.
Tell that to George Lucas. Enterprise is leaps and bounds better as a prequel than the horrendous mockery of the Star Wars prequels. I can sum it up in three words: Jar-Jar Binks.
