What we need, maybe next season, is to revisit a temporal arc where we find ourselves in the 22nd Century and have a few episodes with Shran; then we can have Coombs back for some justified voice work.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
> There's just no reason to! He's already doing Weyoun as it is, and anyone with decent hearing will tell you that Weyoun and Shran had very little difference in inflections because there was no need to add much because of the 200 year time difference.
Eh, not so much. Weyoun was always voiced as a diplomat and politician who could be vicious or obsequious. Whereas Shran usually had a cockiness that Weyoun never did. (Jeffrey Combs was a better actor as Shran than ENT deserved.)
Gotta agree with the crowd though: STO's OCs are getting shafted enough as it is. I want FEWER celebrity cameos so A, they're more of an event, and B, I feel less like an extra in my own story.

Well yes, Weyoun was a (bad) diplomat, but an ultimate self-absorbed, manipulative brown-noser, and Shran was a strong willed, principled, if not cocky at times commander, but there was no difference in accent, unlike when he played Brunt, where the difference was very obvious, most likely due to the false teeth!
Having read your previous comments about playing second fiddle to these stars, I kind of like the 'interaction' and the value it adds. We have alot of glory heaped upon our characters through the first '18 months' of our careers, and to be honest, it was almost running away to the point of ludicrous speed!
Yup, would love getting some Enterprise era Actors and Kelvin TL Actors back in! But we need a year's break from time-travel shenanigans! lol
Due to the audio editor leaving overly long pauses between each line and the vocal lines themselves done by such a distinctive voice that is overused in STO on the one hand and on the other didn't even try to disguise the fact she was talking to herself.
Remember a lot of the characters nuances will have come from the performance not just the voice.
And who was the genius who said "Let's make Levar Burton wear a visor over the most expressive part of the human face". Geordi could have been a better character. ---further down the rabbit hole--- for Voyager, they purposely designed the costumes to be black everywhere except the head area to have the focus on the characters in the shots if I remember correctly. With the exception 7 of 9 because 7 of 9.
he played so many roles, seems like they could write ups a couple different scrips and get thier bang for the buck
With Combs they'd a harder time both for scheduling the work and paying for it.
Rivas has done a really good job with Shon and he should continue with Shon.

We don't even need a new temporal arc for that.
They could just have our characters play some of the crew of Enterprise. Like they did with Neth Parr.
Enterprise was used to help Riker, apparently Starfleet knows enough details even during TNG to completely recreate the events that took place.
Have us play an Enterprise character in a simulation and put Shran in it. This could also work for Discovery and TOS characters.
He'd lose his uniqueness and at the same time, if they ever brought the character of Shran into the game one way or another, then that character would also be less special.
Closest I can remember him playing such character would be Ratchet in Transformers Prime and even there the character had this "grumpy reluctant hero" feel to him.
As for turning Shon into Shran 2.0, as it has said it would make both characters loose their uniqueness and be disfavor for both characters.
I don't see any good reason to replace Dave Rivas' performance.
Doesn't have to be time-travel. We have holodecks.
But not Combs. I love Combs, but Shon is a very different character from Shran.
Why chance messing something up by fiddling with stuff already set.
Look what happens to the program when they try manipulating anything old....yeah, the program gets confused.

Well... I think Ambassador Surah of the Deferi went through a couple voices. And so did B'vat and Hakeev.
