I along with others have brought this up several times, but to no avail.
The new Rapid Refire Plasma pistol actually fires beams very similar to the hand Phasers in Wrath of Khan, except the Wrath of Khan phasers were orange, not green.
I think the Devs need to create a Legacy bundle where we get full Wrath of Khan style uniforms and variants, from admiral tunics to engineering suits, scotty's casual vest and security uniforms with helmets.
accurate 23rd century ship interiors and the rapid fire phaser beams.
This seems purely aesthetic, but for posterity and to help players feel immersed AND offer something new to sell in the C-store, I think this bundle would be VERY well received.
I love the accurate interiors such as voyager and TOS enterprise. We should be seeing accurate Wrath of Khan style interiors, as well as the late 23rd century with the blue/green LCARS as seen on Excelsior class ships and the enterprise -A circa Star trek 6 the undiscovered country.
I would suggest making this bundle for the 50th anniversary. Id like to point out we have TWOK uniforms but they are incomplete, and the Excelsior class as well as the Stargazer cruiser are all 23rd century remnants and VERY popular, if only we had complete Uniform sets and accurate hand and ship Phasers (the pulsing rapid fire kind as seen in Wrath of Khan) then it'd make so much sense.
Give us this please!!!

If such a bundle came out I would put serious thought into buying it.;)
Edit: oops whould have read the entire post, ship phasers are mentioned at the end... lol I'd still want them, though!
along with a whip out communicator animation for beaming up

I would like to note that the Vaadwaur Polaron Emitter Arrays have a sort of pulsed beam, looks very much the TWOK style phasers (but wrong color since they are polaron).
If they could do, for example, a Retrofit Phaser Emitter Array that have that same animation but proper Phaser Orange, that would just be awesome sauce. Maybe speed up the firing cycle a bit though... just sayin'....
Thanks
As for the WoK phasers... I think they were more red than orange. And for a hand phaser... I'd kinda prefer the ST5/6 "Assault" phaser pistol.

Agreed, add the assault phasers too. But the Wrath of Khan hand phasers were first seen in Star Trek the Motion Picture, and since we have Motion picture Uniforms too, the TWOK pulsing phasers seem important, but yes I agree assault phaser pistols shoujld also be used, I just implore the dev's to make unique and new beam animations for these legacy phasers- because it really helps to stylize a character and I also agree whole-heartedly to do flip communicator animations. Maybe even TOS transporter effects.
If We had a bundle like this, I'd use it exclusively for my main character.
ALSO: I suggest a shuttle craft from Star trek 5, the final frontier, and this shuttle would have a special console :"Emergency plan... B" where the shuttle jumps to full impulse and can evade enemy fire, like when Sulu dodged the klingon bird of prey and crash-landed in the Enterprise - A shuttle bay.
please please please give us this Dev's!
But yea... the ST5 shuttle might be a nice addition. We've already got the TOS shuttle, and several TNG era ones.

And I want Photons with the thunder & lightning sound effects so that my ships are the embodiment of Zeus' Wrath
the interiors are not a best seller for cryptic.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I'd love the phasers as well. Be it the Wrath of Khan and/or Star Trek V/VI style. I'll need to check out some of the suggestions in the thread, even if the colours are off, they sound interesting.
This post makes me so happy. I thought i was the only one.
I might just have to open my wallet to sto briefly if they add this
Star Trek spans generations, and it's very foolish in a game that allows so many alien ships and other non-star trek content to forget and even lockout some of those generations.
But i don´t think the Repeater Pistol effect looks like the WOK. It be more like a Antiproton full auto rifle. A short burst of three energy blasts( just smaller than the blast from the full-auto)
But i would also be happy with a ST III: Search for Spock phaser with a normal phaser animation or an Assault phaser with a white/blue beam (like chroniton or proton).
We get new weapons and animations all the time. (the Vaadawur "bullets", the plasma repeater, the Voth beams and Full-Auto, the Fluidic Beams) so i think some fan service would be possible and be great
Be real nice to go all TOS Movie style all thoughout
AFter a time,cost, benefit analysis......this is not going to happen
