FKA K-Tar, grumpy Klingon/El-Aurian hybrid. Now assimilated by PWE.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
Some orion woman has appeared in my contact window a couple of times during the "price of neutrality"
she appears to be out of uniform (as in not wearing anything at all but a collar)
And you complain?!?!?! Why, that's standard dress on my ship. (when I can convince them to do so. One time they all reported to shift wearing Nun's habits and it was quite a letdown.)
You can dress orions up in outfits that only their heads are bare. They are free KDF outfits.
You don't even have to leave that much. You can dress Orions up in outfits that leave them completely covered from head to toe, leaving people unable to tell that they are even Orions!
What I want to know is why everyone has started arguing about canon when the main thing to focus on is that everyone seems to be running around naked.............
I have to admit that I had some nervousness when I went to do the mission on Rura Penthe with my female Orion captain. My first thought was "Oh, this is gonna be a cold excursion."
Fortunately, the game had the good sense to dress her more appropriately for the conditions.

My Orion Male, is shirtless, ripped, with studly BDSM bolts in his shoulders, I love him as does his nearly naked Slave Girl Bridge Crew. The Giant Gorn tact officer isn't interested in warm bloods of eith gender, only in battle, while my voyeristic Leathean finds warm blood mating rituals curious and is bisexual (although the Captain is straight).
I decided on a bisexual Leathean male bridge Officer to show that my Captain does not discrimate on the basis of species or sexual orination.
Anyways back to my point, my Character General Susher is eye candy for the ladies, something I shall never be in real like so I intend to enjoy it!
"Retcon" as a term has been around a lot longer than Torchwood.
As for Orion outfits, I noticed during the conference on Khitomer for the Romulans that there were female Orion guards that were wearing what looked like the mercenary set to me, which I thought was nice.
As for random no-apparent-reason officers showing up, I noticed that happening when I beamed out in the middle of one mission because I was stuck in one facing (could aim and shoot the gun in any direction, but abilities like Tachyon Harmonic would always come out pointed SSW.) Before I beamed out, contact from my ship was being managed by my Fed liason. When I beamed back in some random Andorian who had no business being there was doing the talking.
I also noticed during one mission that D'tan apparently moonlights as an ensign on my ship. The contact window definitely said it was an ensign speaking, but it was D'tan...complete with a sound clip appropriate to him.

Ok I did side with the Kdf but I do not have any non Romulan/Reman officers yet
Can we either get a Romulan contact OR make her put a uniform on?
The problem is not limited to KDF. I too have a Starfleet officers that are NOT on my ship appearing in my contact windows after I aligned with the Feds. I think this is obviously an alignment based glitch and hope it gets fixed. Just because I chose to ally myself with the Federation doesn't mean that all of a sudden my crew should become a federation crew. I did submit a bug report on it and suggest you do the same. Maybe start a thread on the tribble bug report forum.
Well for a start cybernetics leads to becoming Borg (and someone should sue the makers of Doctor who after last nights lame rip off of the borg.)
Dude, the Cybermen were changing other races into more Cybermen long before Picard pretended to be french. Their first appearance was in 1966. The Borg are a rip off of the Cybermen, not the other way round.
Oh yeah, all my Orions are fully clothed. And those silly antigravity one strip skirts that I see wandering around look completely stupid to be honest.
Solivax has started an argument about sexploitation and his personal definition of canon?? :eek:

While there is nothing wrong with different dressing styles, having a less revealing outfit is a good idea for an away team. Well unless you go to Risa.
Just because.... on an away team, plants shoot poison darts at you, insects fly around, a gorn tries to throw rocks at you and so on.
Wearing beach-style bikini may not be a good idea in such an occasion.
Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

I refer to the fact that Cybermen used to replace limbs etc the borg use nanotech the cyber mite assimilation is a direct rip off
as is the adapting to weapons
cybermen are slow determined and identical
they do not have a Hive mind and they are not particularly prone to mad laughter
Sollvax you just said that only TOS is canon only a few pages ago. So since the borg is not canon for you.... why do you care if it was or was not ripped off by a show that has evil trashcan-robots as its villain?

1. (original meaning) Adding information to the back story of a fictional character or world, without invalidating that which had gone before.
2. (more common usage) Adding or altering information regarding the back story of a fictional character or world, regardless of whether the change contradicts what was said before.
1. Although they had previously been shown to have two other sets of parents, the retcon of making Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch the children of Magneto only altered the meaning of past events, not what had happened.
2. Retconning Dawn Summers into "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in the fifth season was one of the rare instances where the fact that history has been altered for our characters was recognized in the story, even though the characters all still remembered the "new" versions of events.
Canon
Canonicity
When there are multiple "official" works or original media, the question of what is and what is not canonical can be unclear. This is resolved either by explicitly excluding certain media from the status of canon (as in the case of Star Trek), by assigning different levels of canonicity to different media (as in the case of Star Wars), by considering different but licensed media treatments official within their own continuities but not across them (as with Battlestar Galactica[8]) or not resolved at all.
The official Star Trek website describes Star Trek canon as "the events that take place within the live-action episodes and movies" (that is, the television series Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, and the Star Trek motion pictures).[9] Events, characters and story lines from tie-in novels, comic books, video games and Star Trek: The Animated Series are explicitly excluded from the Star Trek canon, but the site notes that elements from these sources have been subsequently introduced into the television series, and says that "canon is not something set in stone."[9] One example of a non-canonical element that later became canonical in the Star Trek universe was the name "Tiberius" becoming the official middle name of Enterprise captain James T. Kirk. The name was introduced in the Star Trek animated series, and was later added into the official biography of the character by its mention in the live-action film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
The Star Wars canon exists on several levels. The highest level is the six Star Wars films, and statements by George Lucas; tie-in fiction from the Expanded Universe has a different level of canonicity.[7] The complex system is maintained by Leland Chee, a Lucasfilm employee.[7]
Sollvax you just said that only TOS is canon only a few pages ago. So since the borg is not canon for you.... why do you care if it was or was not ripped off by a show that has evil trashcan-robots as its villain?
Did not say that at all
Said canon is Gene written or approved (includes some of next gen etc)

Thanks Cryptic.
Why isn't there a half-naked Orion on my ship?
I know I'm stuck with a half-naked Female Ferengi on mine:(
What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
Id still rather have a romulan

I do not care that you do not care.
Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who. :rolleyes:

In TOS the green girl was an Orion Slave Girl.
I have to side with the Ferengi on this issue.
