Alcohol game effects

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
We should add alcohol effects to the game...somewhere along the lines of what EQ does...it would make it funner for Dance Parties at Drozana Station, Quarks, Bridge Parties ect. ect. and actually give us a reason to purchase the different drinks from the bartenders.

There are numerous Drinks in the Star Trek Universe and the side effects that a character would recieve would be on par with the alcohol content...

ie: Synthehol...little or no effect
Romulan ale...yeaaaa its party time

Also...we need a ships lounge option to turn it into a dance club..ie: lower the lights and add a bartender.

This could be a good money sink...characters will spend ec's at the bars. There is at least 1 Dance party everynight/day at Quarks and/or Drozana Station and countless bridge parties...At this writing one of the radio stations is having a dance party at Drozana Station.

please consider

    Agreed. Other than the nerve tonic, and make the effects work on characters regardless of gender.

    I would like to see this in-game but there may be troubles with the PG rating...

    If female characters drink nerve tonic acquired at the bar in Night of the Comet, they will do a booty dance. Seeing as that already exists in the game, I question whether it would affect the current game rating.

    wow.... for real?

    This is not Star Trek Dance Central! There are evil Aliens to fight, get out there and kill some Klingons Soldier !

    people these days.... all just want to open Bars and get Drunk.

    Well if you want to consume Romulan Ale i want to be able to play a Security Officer and if i catch anybody drinking Romulan Ale (which is an outlawed substance) then you will have to pay a 20000 EC fine and get an entry in your duty record.

    Not to mention all supporters are now banned from "canon" arguments, unless they accept the JJ Trek. Canon showed responsible drinks, with no dance parties (before JJ).

    Personally I could care less, I will cringe a bit if someone suggests a accolade for time "drunk". I also think if the Dev's spend the time on this, then I want the Captains Table to have overstuffed chairs, cigars, a fireplace, and brandy sniffers....

    Equality for all RP!

    I don't have to roleplay. I'm 24.

    My alcohol intake... I mean special effects are amazing!

    Drink a fifth of Laphroaig and you'll see all kinds of Sector Space Revamps.

    That's how i get my drunk effects!

    besides ingame drunk effects are annoying, they only last a few seconds. i'd want them to last for hours with the possibility of a puke animation or two.
