    Cool, another canon character who was in Starfleet before any of my characters were born and they now massively out rank.

    I'd have to agree with this point.

    If WE manage to get to Fleet Admiral in a year, surely someone like Tom Paris ought to be an Admiral. Though I guess I could see him pulling some stunt that keeps him from being promoted.

    That's what we need. A mission that lets us royally TRIBBLE up, disobey orders, and get busted back to Captain. :D

    So... Where's the interview on sound cloud? Or better yet when will it be there? After S10 and episode goes live to prevent spoilers?

    This. I enjoy the interviews and would love to hear his.

    And to the devs, thanks for getting so many of the characters into the game via their actors. It is very cool.

    Love that we have tom for our pilot intro, and let me add my voice both hoping for b'elanna and for captain proton. Especially of that means we get to see tom and harry together again.

    Nelix and tuvok meeting was one of my favorite scenes in the new delta stuff, but tom and harry and me in black and white might edge it out.

    Exactly, I'm already tired as Slamek, how every npc call me "admiral" and i am only 1 (!!!) year in duty (even if in the game 3 years)

    So it didnt work out when they made him a Admiral are you seriosuly trying to make ones of the lamest characters in Voyager the next Kirk. Liked his character in TNG when he wasn't Paris but when I saw him as a similar character and watched a few episodes I reaise he is not as talented as some of the other characters in the show. since Miral is in it would rather have seen Belanna than Tom but cest a vie.

    Excellent news. Now my 3 favorite Voyager members are in game with 7of9, the Doctor and Tom Paris. Really hoping for a Captain Proton episode now.

    Nice to see him joining the cast! Though I do have to agree with what some others have said, the face of his character in game doesn't resemble him as well as most of the others.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

    *looks at all the other canon characters' face with a couple of exceptions*

    And you folks keep getting shocked about that?
    I mean, sweet Q, poor 7 of 9 looks less human than the Doctor!

    Personally, I think they did a pretty good job with the rest of the Voyager crew so yeah I'm a little shocked by how little the Tom character looks like Robert McNeill. I think it's how gaunt he is.

    Awesome news, though I find it kinda hard to believe Tom stayed in Star Fleet. Wasn't he offered a job as a test pilot in that pitcherplant/alien episode? Now that wasn't real, but it was based on what he wanted.

    This great cast can't help me wonder who we will see when STO goes to the Gamma Quadrant Nana Visitor is the fist one that springs to mind, as I keep hearing her return as (multiple) voices on Family Guy, doing something for STO would be a no-brainer.

    That said, the next addition has to be Jeffrey Combs :cool: I've always been a fan of him, ever since Re-animator and From Beyond and his roles in Startrek are always the coolest.

    Oh and some Broccoli wouldn't hurt either ;)

    we keep asking for bug fixes and game balancing

    what we get?

    More celeb VOs and who foots the bill?

    Us players we keep spending im as guilty as anyone else but i keep hoping for those fixes maybe i should give up the hope it seems to be forbidden on this game.

    Right, because the people who hire voice actors are the same people who fix bugs. :rolleyes:

    It's cool to see Tom joining the game, though I agree the model is a bit off. And what ship is he commanding?

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    char model sucks on this one.... nelix & tuvoc looks the best based on their chars from the show.

    but this one is way worse than 7of9.

    kim's model was good too.

    is this a rush job?

    Personally, I think the Tom Paris character model does a pretty good job of ageing the character. Not everybody gets away with just a few wrinkles and grey hairs after all.

    Agreed. If we are supposed to be playing our own characters, we should have the freedom to play one that nobody in their right mind would make an Admiral. Starfleet's hierarchy is getting a bit top heavy as it is anyways.

    Awesome news! Hopefully this will lead to more focus on Shuttles, perhaps the pilot BOFF specialisation could be geared towards their use?

    Paris was always one of my favorite characters. Keep up the good work guys. This game is better than ever and adding these characters with the original actors makes it that much better!!!

    I'm a but disappointed cryptic chose to put Tom Paris in Starfleet. Doesn't really make sense from a character standpoint. In End game he wasn't in Starfleet which was much more true to character. (Yes I know that was technically an alternate reality). I would have like to see him in some other capacity... At the very least maybe an instructor at the academy if he needed to stay in Starfleet.

    Just don't ask about that time they tried to make him an admiral. It didn’t work out

    I read that in Paris' voice :D

    No idea why it happened, but it happened.

    I'll admit I loved the Tom Paris character, but I really was hoping we could maybe get Wesley Crusher to show up!..... :D

    I'm actually kind of serious, I believe that a mature and more wizened Wesley would be a good character to have show up and try to help us to come up with a way to stop the Iconians from being able to use the gates to travel back and forth. I'm sure Wil Wheaton would appreciate a chance to change the Wesley Crusher image. They could even have him come back because the Iconians found a way to trap the Traveler and are trying to steal the info on how he travels. We would then have to help free him.

    Oh well it would be a little nice to see characters from the other shows.

    The replies should be fairly entertaining! ;)

    Except...

    Delta Recruiting kind of broke that, maybe. We appear to our younger selves as a Fleet Admiral (or Dahar Master), which suggests that's our destiny. More importantly, it suggests Cryptic has no plans to bust our characters back to Captain, ever.

    My comment was intended as a joke. It would be kind of a cool twist. But I remain doubtful.

    Oh, I don't think for a moment that it would ever happen; but a guy can dream.

    This is great! Tom Paris was always one of my favourite characters in Star Trek. Welcome to STO Robert Duncan McNeill! :)

    btw, I think this time the face of the character didn't turn out quite as well as most other charcters in game.

    Turned out better than Seven of Nine imo.

    I dare you to do better.
