I want these combadges, the rank bars right on the badge, any chance we could see them in game?

    I am surprised we have not seen these yet. Admiral had the cut out on the badge.

    But but...! Would they go in the badge menu or the rank menu?! You're breaking the game STAHP!!!

    (They're kind of cool looking badges. I would like to see them added, too.)

    Done. These badges are now in the game.

    BUT

    They will always show your character's game rank, not your title rank. :P

    ouch, just have the bars linked to the rank option in the tailor, selecting the badge would remove rank pips in favor of the badge rank visuals.

    I always figured they'd get around to this one sooner or later. I'd love to see it.

    It might take some creativity in the tailor, but I'm sure they could make it work.
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    They still haven't solved the clipping problem with the TNG badges and female characters with larger... resources. But I do agree that bgadge would be a nice addition.

    Funny I just watched this episode on DVD yesterday. I hadn't seen it in a while and it took me a second to realize the rank was located on the comm badge. I do like the badge and it would be neat to have it available.

    I want it with Admiral Picard's uniform from that episode.

    Maybe include his awesome goatee and horseshoe haircut for all species, some haircuts with white streaks in them (Riker's from that episode, maybe Troi's bun with bride of Frankenstein streak and MAYBE throw in Data's from AGT). These would be cross faction.

    And while we're at it with "simulated" uniforms?

    Sloan's "Deputy Director" pips from DS9 "Inquisition:

    http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Deputy_Director

    The fake Starfleet uniforms from Voyager's "Live Fast and Prosper" as cross-faction, off-duty clothing options (the point of the episode was non-Federation people using cheap knockoff uniforms to pose as Voyager's crew and commit crimes):

    I wouldn't call the Deputy Director pip "simulated." Sloan was misrepresenting himself, but if his pips had been illegitimate, his cover would have been blown pretty quickly. So I say, bring on the Internal Affairs pips!

    While we're at it, how about Voyager's provisional ranks?

    They're in game? I see the "All Good Things" combadge, but not the "Future Imperfect" badges.

    By the way, didn't they use those same combadges in the episode where Worf was bouncing around different universes?

    Also not sure what you mean by game rank vs. title rank. Is that "I'm a Vice Admiral, but I command a ship, so call me Captain" thing?

    Rick: No, they're not actually in the game, I was making a joke. Yes, what I meant in the joke is your "game rank" is the level your character is. (I.E. all max-level players are "Vice Admiral", or whatever the equivalent is for the other factions.) So in other words, the joke was that players could use them, but the RP'ers couldn't specify a rank lower than their character's level on them.

    :P

    He was doing a riff on a game popular on many Internet forums, "Make a Wish", in which the second player grants the previous player's wish, but in a form that makes it less useful (or sometimes worse than nothing). It's based off the way that the 1st edition of the AD&D DM's Guide recommended limiting the power of a Wish spell by, er, "creatively interpreting" the wording of the spell itself.

    My friends and I like to say that FI is one of the best Riker episodes in TNG... until the last two minutes. Seriously, they could have just kept the kid who was playing Jean-Luc Riker.

    That said, the episode feels like a rip off of the G.I.Joe two parter "No Place Like Springfield".

    This was written by Star Trek: TNG writer, Iconian creator, and comic book creator Steve Gerber. NPLS is about the bearded sailor Shipwreck. He wakes up in a future where G.I.Joe and Cobra are at peace and he is inexplicably married to his girlfriend Mara, who is suddenly no longer a mermaid (the thing that has been keeping them apart). Everyone keeps grilling him for information that was once classified, causing him to suspect that he's been trapped in a simulation of the future in order to extract secrets from him.

    Future Imperfect is about the bearded Starfleet officer Riker. He wakes up in a future where the Federation and Romulans are at peace and he is inexplicably married to his lost Minuet, who is suddenly no longer a hologram (the thing that has been keeping them apart). Everyone keeps grilling him for information that was once classified, causing him to suspect that he's been trapped in a simulation of the future in order to extract secrets from him.

    Oh and the TNG writers previously worked on the G.I.Joe cartoon alongside Gerber. So there was probably a deliberate lift there given that everyone involved worked together on TNG and G.I.Joe.

    That Combadge is also used in one of the Quantum Realities Worf visits, so it was actually used in Starfleet, just not our Starfleet.
