REQUEST: George Takei VOs

Devs:

Your loyal players have come up with a stupendously awesome idea. Have George Takei (AKA Mr. Sulu from TOS) do voice-over work for STO. I suggest the following, just to start:

In the Battlezone, when the oversized cybernetic dinosaurs spawn at the silos, have a George Takei VO with him saying "Oh myyyyy" in his best voice.

When we capture all 3 silos in the Battlezone, have him say "All your base are belong to us!" in his best voice.

For season 9 or 10, give us a time-travel FE arc where Captain Hikaru Sulu and the USS Excelsior show up through a time rip, complete with cutscenes and audio by George Takei. Because Pure Awesomeness.

You could even have a fundraiser drive; basically, pick a charity (say, the Human Rights Campaign, or Emily's List) and say that players have a month or so to raise a million dollars for that charity, and if they raise that much you will get George Takei. Make it nice and public; George Takei does a lot of charity work, and I think that he'd be more receptive to doing VOs if you did such a fundraiser.

Just my 2 slips of latinum.

    Seconded. I have been waiting to hear his VO in game.

    I think they need to get as many of the original actors into the studio doing VOs as possible. They're not getting any younger, ya know?

    Yeah, there aren't really that many of the TOS actors still around...



    If they wait too long everything will be voiced over by Whill Wheaton.

    I'd love Takei in game. And Walter Koenig. And if the rumors of Tim Russ being the actor who is coming to the next Featured Episode, that makes Takei even more of a no-brainer for a future storyline involving the Excelsior. After all, Tuvok served under Captain Sulu around the time of the Praxis incident.

    As what? Ancient Grand Admiral Sulu, floating around on a Dominar Rygel chair?
    Does Arc install a root kit? Ask a Dev today!

    He can be part of a simulation or tutorial, like in (the video game) Starfleet Command.

    I would rather not. The value of having $$$ spent to hire him or get rights to existing voice clips or whatever would be better spent on new zones, new things to do, etc. Unless he works for free/cheap... which seems unlikely. You could probably pay me for a year for what was spent on worf's voice, if I had to guess... a full year's time of a computer programmer or 5 min or so worth of voice?

    Every time the game crashes, or there is a bug his face pops up form the side like in Mortal Kombat 2, and says OHH MY!
