So I've been playing since the launch of the game and have spent many dollars to support this game. It's my only Mmo and I feel very satisfied with it.
I have never asked for anything but I MUST keep pushing for the following as it'll add a lot to the role players as well as bring authentic trek memorabilia to balance all the new and original content of the game. This request could add a lot of "trek" to sto.
I would really love to see a special "LEGACY PACK" that is sold via c-store, to support the game and dev team. This pack would consist of the following:
*legacy pack for die hard fans of star trek history*--
- LATE 23rd CENTURY STARSHIP INTERIOR PACK, (looks like the enterprise and excelsior bridges and hallways/quarters from star trek undiscovered country)
- CASUAL DUTY UNIFORMS CIRCA LATE 23rd CENTURY PACK, (kirks admiral tunic from the search for Spock, Scotty's engineers vest as seen in the next generation episode "relics" where they find Scotty on the dyson sphere. Engineers radiation suit. Admirals gold lining on the big maroon wrath of khan tunic & security uniforms with helmets as seen in the undiscovered country.
- TOS FLIP OPEN COMMUNICATOR EMOTE (when wearing tos or twok uniforms this action happens when beaming up to the ship, as well as unlocks a special emote)
- TOS TRANSPORTER EFFECT (this is a gold transport that happens for legacy pack owners. It could activate only if you are wearing tos uniforms. this is not such an important request but if it wasn't too difficult it'd be fun to have and the current Klingon transporter could be modified to look blue as seen in the undiscovered country and star trek the search for Spock..)
- LEGACY WEAPONS PACK, (TWOK phasers with pulsing beams and secondary beam is a series of small beams which set the target on fire. This secondary setting matches the scene when Kirk melts the slug that comes out of chekovs ear. Assault phaser pistol from the undiscovered country with bright blue beams and knock back effect. Secondary setting stuns. Phaser type 1 and 2 from the first season of TNG, accurate dolphin phaser from voyager, and phaser rifle from TNG. Enterprise phase pistols with more reddish orange beams and secondary effect is stun. Malcolm Reed's spacial charges, these act as mines that can possibly be set up on walls in passage ways *these spacial charges could also be stuck to an enemy like how archer blew up the reptilian on the xindi weapon.*)
- LATE 23rd CENTURY STARSHIP PHASERS. (the same pulsing/oscillating phasers you see in the wrath of khan, these phaser banks would only go on excelsior class, ambassador class, stargazers and constitution starships. They'd level up with your captain.)
- LATE 23rd CENTURY SHUTTLE CRAFT, (the same shuttle seen in star trek 5 the final frontier. This shuttle is a little longer in length and has the constitution refit style warp nacelles. This shuttle would have those pulsing phaser beams from twok, and a special console called "emergency plan B", which increases the shuttles maneuverability so much that all enemy fire misses the shuttle as well as the shuttle speed and turn rate greatly accelerate and the impulse engines glow bright blue. Sulu pulled this maneuver to crash in to the shuttle bay in star trek 5 the final frontier.)
This legacy pack really makes sense to me. It'll allow players to truly emerse themselves in to their own personal story line. This legacy pack would also open up new frontiers in the foundry because foundry producers can make 23rd century style missions as well as time travel style missions for players.
If theres a legal reason why you aren't allowed to create this content due to restrictions in your contract with Paramount then please let us know so we can drop this dream. I have noticed other players want to have a more complete 23rd century set.
Ps: having added ambassador class and recently Picards Stargazer, and having the watch of khan uniforms, shows there's room for 23rd century content in sto... But the twok costumes are grossly incomplete and I don't know why the tos communicator emote wasn't a given. Let's see a legacy pack PLLLLLEEEEEEASE!! :(
Comments
Just one thing: You repeatedly mention the Ambassador, but it's a 24th century ship and also wouldn't use the "pulse phaser" effect as it was the first class to use phaser arrays, a quantum leap over the old phaser banks used in the 23rd century

Some thoughts:
How about a string of these packs?
TOS pack; WOK pack; TNG pack; and so on...
Maybe also packs for the various factions (playable and non-playable)...
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Here's my old thread if it can help spur some discussion in here.

Maybe it won't be a priority thing, but it's certainly a possibility now
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Thanks for informing us. It is the little things like that which helps us feel like we are actually being heard.
Now that's awesome. Here's hoping something comes of this. I've been waiting for something like the OP asked for for a long time ever since the game launched. if not then that's OK. I'll be really happy if there is though.:D
