    You guys forgot to make the Typhoon Class playable.​​

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    There's your playable Typhoon, as the NPC ones are like 99% replaced with Command Cruisers.

    And we've fought over half of a major war. How much later is later, anyway?

    And no, don't use flanking, secondary deflectors, etc. as indicators of your idea of "later"...​​
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    You keep saying that, but it's not. It's like asking for a playable Ambassador and getting pointed to a Galaxy.​​

    We have a playabel Ambassador though. The fact is the Typhoon's being replaced with the Command Cruisers, and for the most part share design elements and can be made to look like a high quality Typhoon. It may not be considered a Battleship, but it is what it is.

    When was the last time you saw an NPC Typhoon? I don't see them anymore in Photo Fleet or when you can call a ship in when below 50%. They MIGHT have one still in one of the old missions, but for the most part Command Cruisers have replaced them.

    What the hell is a ship Emote ?

    Pls dont tell me it will make the ship dance or salute or wave or something stupid.... A ship should be.....Well.... A ship ? It should do nothing ! Just like a car...... A plane..... A boat ?

    Pls tell me I am wrong about Emotes ? But I cannot fathom what else it might do ?

    They're one of the more silly, totally useless things being added to the game IMO. No idea how programming these took priority over bug fixing and lag issues.​​

    I get what you mean, but I would rather the game monetize cosmetics like outfits, ship skins, character animations, and ship emotes rather than Uber-ship grand prize jackpot slot machine raffle tickets.

    I mean, honestly why not sell a holographic projector for 6000Zen that lets your ship "look" like a T1Connie? People would eat that up even if it was only rendered on your local machine.

    It makes a live-long-and-prosper hand, or a thumbs up or other stuff appear over your ship in space, like a hologram.
    Can we have a toggle in the settings somewhere so that we don't have to see these stupid things? Kinda like the dance party blocker? Because if I actually see one of these 'ship emotes' my head might just explode.

    Ship emotes are dumb.
  • orionburstorionburst Member Posts: 67 Arc User
    I'd be happier if the emotes were useful, such as say, emotes for 'help' or directions - something that has a real use (as it'd remove the language barrier that can occur somewhat)​​

    First, the Ambassador is not as well known as the Galaxy, so that's a bit of a bad example. There are only 2 games I know of with a playable Ambassador, Legacy and Online. So someone wanting an Ambassador would have to be very well versed in the lore to even recognize her.

    Second, you can kitbash the Command Cruisers to make a pretty decent representation of the Typhoon. And the model is of a much higher quality than the old NPC Typhoon.

    Third... I think the debate over the Typhoon should end here because we're cluttering up a thread about ship emotes.
