WWJKD (What Would James Kirk Do)?

edited June 2012 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I often ask myself what would James Kirk Do? The answer is simply, kiss the hot alien chick, or punch out the uncool alien dude. This is STO, why don't we have the kiss, kirk drop kick, and knock out punch emotes? Please, Cryptic. Make it So!

    Absolutely a must have. We should have more emote options in general but these would make for some interesting situations, lol

    Yes, I wholeheartedly support this, but only if the "Double Blow Karate Chop" combination is also added to the list. :D

    The Kirk Drop Kick is used by Tactical officers with melee kits.

    yeah but we still don't get the Kiss Emote or even more importantly the oh so lethal 1-hit K.O. Kiss!

    Similar to WWJKD is WWMRD (What Would Malcolm Reynolds Do). In most cases the answer is the same.

    I've seen lots of cool effects, some creeping into the Foundry.

    Any way we could get a volume effect for maps that has the characters using their "trouble keeping balance" animation from the winter event while slowing them down and tilting the camera side to side?

    Or even just a "bear right" that has everyone brace themselves and slide right and a "bear left" that does the opposite?

    Honestly this does a bit of disservice to Kirk. I mean they didn't have to be alien chicks. :P

    Kirk was pretty much an equal opportunity man when it came to hot chicks. Which he seemed to have a remarkable easy time finding.

    There needs to be a Seduce for male human captains too. Riker must have a bit of Kirk blood in him.

    So many Kirk options missing

    Rip off shirt for a start (grants massive armour buff)
    Throw useless phaser (does more damage than the actual weapon)
    Dress as a TRIBBLE/gangster/other (stealth buff)
    not to forget
    Be replaced by identical evil version (allows you to overact )
    Live long and Prosper

    1. I so want the Armor Buff from ripping the shirt off! Not to mention the general costume benefits that feature grants :3

    2. We definitely need a Phaser Overload feature. That I will agree with.

    3. You know there are so many great costumes used in the Original Series alone that have yet to make it into the Cash Shop that the Developers could actually make a killing on the costumes alone...

    4. We kind of have that in the form of the Shard of Possibilities, though not in the way it occurred in the Original Series (on multiple occasions).

    Oh I agree we need more costumes (especially for Boffs)
    Give the poor guys an off duty uniform

    I took some crew on shore leave recently (foundry mission)
    I was in my "order of Reason" vulcan robe they were all in uniforms
    And as Good as our uniform is
    its not suitable for visiting the sights

    the operative kit allows for the Kirk drop kick.

    Hasn't that always been one of the unarmed combo moves? No, wait that's the two fists together chop.

    I'd defiantly like the kirk in pain emote when taking damage . . you know, bring elbows to centre of chest with hands out and face looking like a guppy at feeding time . . perhaps a squirm on the floor for good measure while uttering the famous "What gives you the right" speech.

    Perfect!

    There should be a very small random chance of summoning the etheral face alien from the galactic core when using these emotes. It will follow the player around shooting energy beams from its eyes and loudly hissing...

    ...YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!

    We could also do with a spock eyebrow raise

    And yet he's the Captain everybody knows and remembers, helped pave the way for the rest, while being in 3 series & 7 movies, so he couldn't have been that bad huh. :cool:

    TRIBBLE is still TRIBBLE. And I can think of some other TRIBBLE that others remember because it was TRIBBLE.

    I take it you're not a fan of TOS then, let me ghess you think it's TRIBBLE . . lol, oh well each to their own. But remember what some people think of as TRIBBLE, others may think differently. I for one love TOS, it's what i grew up with . . it was good seeing those early episodes because although the acting was hammy and the effects horrible (Although not for the time) you had to use your imagination to fill in the blanks, something that is missing in some people today. :smile:

    TOS was alright for its time. The acting was the problem with him.

    Only an idiot would not want James T. Kirk in your corner. I would trust this "character" with the lives of my children. I would say the same of William Shatner. Over the top as he is in acting, he is nonetheless a great guy. With all the Jerry Sandusky's running around, genuine trustworthiness is something only an IDIOT would overlook.
