you know what we will get for the new season gift, a cup of water, when placed on the ground, if it shows signs of vibrations, find shelter or make a mad run for it.

MCP I don't share your view this time. People have been using animals of war for centuries, I see no reason why the Voth would be different. Some images for you:
I know there's a whole slew of Dino threads going on but this one I wanted to post in difference to be on the sole purpose of protest against these changes from taking place. Mostly everyone is contrary to this idea but their voices are swept underneath parody(which have been hilarious thus far)
First I will ask nicely and with respect: Devs PLEASE do not do this. The Voth are Dinos.. yes we are comfortable with that but we don't want this. This is terrible. Absolutely terrible.
Secondly I will just say that these changes completely pervert the whole Voth episode entirely. Do we really think that an advanced species on a city ship is going to play cowboys and indians on a damned dinosaur? It's like human beings being expected to capture gorillas and put lasers on their heads because they're the coolest apes to wear the head gear. Infuriating..
.... TERRIBLE! If you protest, please let it be known!
STO is not a cross between "My Little Pony" and Halo, nor should it be made into such.
It does not FEEL right.
CUTE has it's place, like in a three year old girl's stuffed toy.
Please do not make this into something it should not be.
Seriously.
Its not. Its still Star Trek, the devs are just expanding on what the writers did not. I do not think that you understand. The devs are the writers of their own game, they can put in their own thoughts/ideas that are expanded from a canon race. If you don't like it, leave, go create your own game.

Are you kidding? This is great news. I mean look, if STO is adding T.Rex with lasers then they must have fixed everything with the game and now have the breathing room to try some odd-ball creatives.
Have you no class? Regardless of cigar room nods at ridiculous ideas.. This idea is still awful. People in power make terrible mistakes all the time. This is just another BP oil spill in the making. At least most of the players in the PVP area think its awful.
Can we get a Pegasus too.. with lasers on their heads?

Exactly. Who cares about ancient bugs that haven't been fixed when you got rogue devs like gekko making laser headed dinos.. How terribly.. exciting.:rolleyes:

ok many ppl can have many opinions, but dinos with laser in the heads ..... pls man that cant be serius, whats next jedy powers? the smurf like a new fatal enemy ?????:eek:
Everyone has their own idea of what Star Trek should be like, but honestly, could you picture an episode, TOS or TNG, where there were T-Rex's walking around with lasers on their heads? It is absurd. It would be a shame for one person to drag this whole game past the line for his own personal desires. The fact that this cleared Gekko's boss, and his boss, and so on really makes me worry about the future of this game.
Everyone cry 'havoc!' and let slip the dogs of anarchy!
a person once said "Today we are dead, but we go in-game to reclaim our lives, STO is life!" Actually I was paraphrasing but it was something similar to that.

Therefore... IT IS NOT BOUND BY THE RULES OF CANON.
It's a bloody game. Therefore it follows game rules. Granted it is BASED on Star Trek. But it is NOT Star Trek. And cmon, if it just followed canon, Galaxy's could one shot most ships, they could survive everything, and everyone would respect them. Intrepids could survive for many years without resupply and be able to survive everything. The Defiant would mow everything down... oh wait, it already does that. Ok, the Defiant could survive fighting a Vor'cha or Neg'vhar (ships that outclass it in almost every conceivable aspect), AND it could also take on dozens of enemy ships at once and be fine. To say nothing of the Sovereign.
If you ask me, I really don't want that. Which is why I am fine with the game as is (ok blatant lie, I think the Borg are toothless wimps and the Undine don't even deserve to share the name of Species 8472... I mean it makes you wonder if the devs even watched "Scorpion". A Nicor practically destroyed Voyager in one hit... to say nothing of what they were doing to the Borg... I also think that they made the Tholians too weak, but meh). Be that as it may, it's still just a game. It's not bound by canon rules. It doesn't matter if it would appear in canon.
So why not Dinos with Lazors on their noggins?
It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once.
When I saw the concept art about the Tyrannosaurus with armor and laser turrets on its head I almost fell of my chair of laughter! This is simply ridiculous!
Star Trek is a professional scifi franchise and not some cheap stupid cartoon for 5 years old kids. Come, on, you couldn't come up with anything better than dinosaurs?!
And if you must stick to this utterly ridiculous idea, at least make them to look like as they really used to - according to the latest findings and evidences of paleontology.
Therefore... IT IS NOT BOUND BY THE RULES OF CANON.
The whole concept of the game is that it wants to look like canon. Why would it give it up for the sake for a stupid children's toy idea? Unless of course if they want to reposition the game and make it like Star Wars Galaxies in the last few months, when it really was targeted for 5-10 years olds and not for teenagers and adults...
MCP I don't share your view this time. People have been using animals of war for centuries, I see no reason why the Voth would be different. Some images for you:
Elephant with armour:
Horse with armour
and my personal favourite:
Yeah, that's why we use drones instead of pigeons with rocket launchers on the back, and tanks instead of elephants with machine gun. Now, a pigeon with a rocket launcher, I would like that.
We used animals that way centuries ago because we didn't have the technology to have it another way.
A civilization that is even more evolved than starfleet would not use animals for war, but powerful machines.
Welcome to the voth, the artwork you have seen is just that art work, the voth are bipedal humanoids evolvec from dino's, the t-rex looking guys may be more like mugato, and other combat animals.
Seriously this thread is so troll. Wait until you get the actual content before you cry, whine and protest.

Every new enemy must be unique, in story and function, otherwise the Voth might as well just be reskinned Jemhadar.

But it is most definitely bound by the rules of cannon.
