Vulcans have the Lirpa, Klingons have the bat'leth.
Can Andorians get the ushaan-tor axe?

Dot bet on it. That would likely require a revamp of Andoria...and there isn't any money in making the planets more interesting.
What, exactly, does the one have to do with the other? The guy wants a playable melee weapon added. He didn't say anything about the planet.

I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
New content (blade weapons) = possible need for more player inventory slots as they collect more junk, er... items. More C-Store ($$) slot sales for Cryptic/PWE.
Win-win. :rolleyes:
What melee weapon would Romulans and Remans have? I don't recall any of the Star Trek series or movies featuring any.
However, maybe it's time to reconsider that. The Vulcans have the lirpa; the Romulans/Remans may have something similar.
And it would be nice to see a few weapons added, lest you discount the reputation-based Tholian crystalline sword (which wasn't a canon weapon from the TV series/movies)...
Honor blades.

But can't you go to Andoria and fight with these blades anyhow?
If so why can't we have them outside of just that arena on Andoria?
What's wrong with actually providing those racial abilities/items which are part of cannon Star Trek for players in a game called Star Trek.
As a Trek fan I for one would much rather see that players can by some means obtain items which are cannon Trek such as the Ushaan-tor, than something never seen in Star Trek Cannon like Dyson Sphere space suits, Dyson Obelisk Carriers, Dyson Science Destroyers, or Undine Wrist Lances....
All items which are not cannon Trek, and which were never imagined let alone introduced into Trek lore by those responsible for creating Trek.
Whereas the Ushaan-Tor was actually introduced to Trek by those who created Trek.

Tacofangs put the Ushaan-tor weapon model on the playable Hirogen bridge, for instance.
The big problem is animation -- which takes substantially longer to do than the weapon model.
Challenge accepted.
Nobody said it was wrong.
Cryptic creates Trek now. This is what happens when the holder of the intellectual property licenses that intellectual property to someone else, like Cryptic.
Gene Roddenberry was, in fact, dead for 14 years when Ushaan-tors were put into Star Trek.
Either everything done after Gene Roddenberry died isn't Star Trek (after 1991), or Cryptic creates Star Trek -- along with every other party who was given license to the Star Trek intellectual property after Roddenberry's death.
Can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.
PVP on Andoria is all over the dialogue when you beam down, and these weapons would be cool to have. It also would allow CStore variants, rep variants, who knows what. At the very least bank space, as has been mentioned.
There could even be a PvE queue/mission that makes use of the axe (or even all melee gear).
I agree with the premise of the OP, why the heck not? It would be a positive addtion to the game, and more content and choices is a good thing. Only been promised since the game launched, right?
Just give us an Andorian Axe, with the same animation as one of other existing melee weapons. Doesn't have to have any special abilities, just some different artwork.
