A Temporal Carrier

I know that they'll probably never do this, but with the game flooded with Carriers these days, the missing one in my book would be a Temporal Carrier.
If you have them, it could be equipped with the Manheim Device and Tipler Cylinder and could also come with a third unique console that works with the other two.
It could launch Aeon Time Shuttles, with Subatomic Deflector Arrays and actually, if not a third console, then having those two also gives the Shuttles the same abilities...Temporal Backstep, etc.
Klingon, Tholian, Jem'Hadar, now the Obelisk...and a Temporal Carrier would be a great edition.

Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Between the Obelisk and the upcoming Voth FDC, I think we're doing okay on fighter launchers for the moment.
I suggest going after the carrier directly, with everything you got. When the carrier's a burning hulk in space the pets will disappear too.
or you could argue that by the 29th century, they'd have developed fighters and shuttles that have shield systems making them near-invulnerable or EW systems who make it impossible for point-defense systems to hit or track them
since their tech and background hasn't been established, you can make up things both ways.
Since my sandwhich was made 15 minutes ago, the near or recent past so to say, it's a "temporal sandwich" by that definition?.
Fine, mister literal. :P
+1 to this! Not having it created for the RR is just some lazy work.
Besides, it's not like the shuttles sell or anything. :rolleyes:
Now, if you could install any Universal Console (and I mean absolutely ANY Console) into the Obelisk, I'd be happy
I'll go ahead and predict a Temporal Core (Lobi, included with the Krenim ship or otherwise, pro0vides some degree of immunity from temporal effects and an offensive attack) and that the Krenim ship gets all the timeship bonuses/gear.
Probably some kind of special chroniton torpedos in the box as well (my guess would be a chroniton/transphasic hybrid projectile given that the Krenim had chronitons with shield penetration) and more chroniton energy weapons based on the Lobi set weapon, which would be antiproton weapons with a chroniton projectile based proc. (I'd predict chroniton cannons and such here.)
There are some other options for temporal ships though.
I could see a Temporal Cruiser or Temporal Flight Deck Cruiser (with Aeon pet) based on the Destroyer/Science Vessel designs. Probably a Lobi item.
I could also see that TARDIS-like timeship from Enterprise (bigger on the inside and timed as a tribute to Doctor Who by the Enterprise folks, in an episode released on Doctor Who's anniversary). Probably as a DOFF pack reward freighter ship that also functions as a shuttle.
Maybe Berlinghoff Rasmussen's timepod.
I'm now thinking about starting up a Trek-themed cafe.
Temporal sammiches.
Transphasic cupcakes.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
I've got to say...I would love that. To be honest, I'd much rather we were getting the Krenim than the Voth in Season Eight. The Voth were one episode, but the Kremin a cliffhanger and with much wider scope if they're eradicating species.
Are we actually going to get a Kremin Lock Box though? When the Pastak appeared in "Temporal Ambassador", I thought that might be a prelude to more from the 29th Century.
The "Weapon Ship" in Red Alert...Chroniton Flux Torpedoes that you'd need a special console or slot to stop from passing directly through your shields...
Well... They're doing a big Krenim push at some point, likely next year. The Elachi and Voth both got ockboxes with their rollout so it seems likely and extra likely with the focus on warp cores of late. The Krenim ship used a Temporal Core.
Since the timeships in Trek ALSO had Temporal Cores, I'd imagine that a Krenim lockbox ship would be classed as a Timeship, would get the Timeship set bonuses and boosts, and that its T-Core would work on the Wells/Mobius/etc.
Chroniton beams (antiproton with an adjusted chroniton proc) makes sense for the beam weapons.
I suspect for balance reasons that the projectiles would be Chroniton Torpedos that sacrifice about 20% of their damage and one modifier in exchange for 40% shield penetration. Or maybe if Cryptic is feeling generous, no modifier loss and the damage penalty would be considered enough.
If I were designing this, I'd probably have missions or rep award Temporal Displacement Drive (Engines), Temporal Shields, and Temporal deflector as an item set that can be upgraded with Lobi similar to the Jem'Hadar set.
And some variation on the timeships that act as flight deck cruisers with Aeon/Rozhenko shuttles in the hangar slots, utilizing Chroniton beam and Transphasic Chroniton torpedo attacks.
I'd imagine the content itself would probably involve teaming with Walker from Temporal Ambassador against Temporal Cold War Guy, who is probably a Romulan trying to bring back Romulus, and the Krenim and Na'kuhl. Since the Iconians built or tapped into the Dyson Sphere, the makers of the sphere are probably the Sphere Builders. Maybe a Battle of Procyon V adventure zone with the Enterprise-J as starbase-like fixture. (The interior and exterior could be the season adventure zone, with Krenim and Na'kuhl boarding parties taking over large chunks of the ship.)
The Sphere Builders were from a completely different dimension and were trying to convert our dimension into one that they could live in. They also seemed to have been only active recently. There is also the issue that the timeline where the Battle of Procyon was eliminated.
It seems like the Solanogen aliens from Schism are the more likely suspect for who created the Dyson Sphere. The Dyson Sphere, Obelisk Carrier, and the Sphere of Influence location all have the same style. There is also the SOLANae and SOLANogen connection. So there is two likely scenarios, this style is either the Iconian style or Solanogen style. So it is possible that the Solanogen aliens that created the Dyson Sphere were conquered by the Iconians are forced into subspace and eventually evolve so that they require solanogen to survive. Who knows how many Servitor races were forced by the Iconians into Subspace for whatever purpose.
Right. And the Solonae could be the Sphere Builders. They live in another dimension. They build spheres. The Omega Particles could be an attempt to disrupt subspace so that they can return.
The look of the Sphere Builders and Solanogen aliens are too different to be the same race. Also, even though they are called Sphere Builders, the Spheres are just the size of a moon not the size of a Dyson Sphere. There is also the issue that the Dyson Sphere is extremely old while the Sphere Builders were only active for about a few thousand years. There is also the problem that the Solanogen aliens only reacted to a subspace experiment and would have not needed to abduct humans for experimentation if they already encountered them in the 22nd Century and experimented on humans then. Therefore, the Solanogen aliens and Sphere Builders are completely different races.
Temporal Cores, an Omega-something or other...there should be more equipment slots, including being able to install cloaking devices, Breen Energy dissipaters, etc and just make the game a lot more fun and versatile.
Do you have any freaking Idea how annoying 16 shuttles doing temporal backstep would be? Especially if it's the one that freezes other ships.
On top of that, your shuttles will be backstepping instead of dpsing, or dying so that you can replace them with more shuttles which will be dpsing.
Also, as others seem to have noted, a carrier wouldnt work in future treck as fighters would last all off three seconds in space combat with most of what the future holds, and due to the crazy range of the shuttles of the era, a carrier isn't needed.
