Do we need a Cut-Scene when traveling through the Wormhole?

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
When we begin or end a mission, our ships warp in or out of a sector, but we never get to travel through the Wormhole. Should we get a short animation, of our ships traveling thru the Wormhole to the Gamma quadrant and later back to the Alpha quadrant?

    Obviously, since I am asking the question, I'm for this, but only if the Devs have the ability and time to do such a thing.

    What is needed more than this is the option to travel to the Gamma Quadrant via the DS9 exterior map (perhaps if you move close enough to the wormhole), not just the sector space location.

    That's be cool, too.

    Yes, but make it skippable.

    While I like the idea. The novelty would wear off rather quickly I think. I would however support a wormhole cutsene for your 1st trip through the wormhole

    How about adding this in, and having the cutscene play when you enter from DS9, but not when you do it from sector space? Could be a good compromise for everyone

    I voted no, but I thought about a little and maybe they could make it optional...like say you go into the DS9 system and use the wormhole from there...you can get the cutscene...but if you use it from sector space it just transports you with no cutscene.

    no, don't need a cut-scene, but some kind of "warp out through the wormhole" animation would be nice (possibly impossible though)

    well, since 99% of the time going through the wormhole is going to end with a loading screen, why can't they be combined?

    Only if its only as long as the loading screen though.

    I really like this idea.

    Oh, bah, clicked the wrong option, wanted to say no. :rage:

    Don't want any additional slowdowns when moving around. :/

    If they did one, it would be fine if it only played on your first trip through.

    Players will be frequently traveling back and forth, a cut scene every time would be highly annoying.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    It was probably easier considering it was already a door to Dyson and delta. I suspect it's harder to create a new door. Especially in the map itself, but then again we have the door to the captains table in the earth and qonos maps so I could be wrong.

    It was kind of underwhelming how you just suddenly hit the load screen and then appear in the new quadrant, it didn't actually give you the magical feeling of traversing through the wormhole.

    But if they were to implement something it would have to be a unique transwarp animation and your ship would have to suddenly appear directly in front of the wormhole beforehand.

    I was disappointed there wasn't one to begin with. I want a full scene of your ship travelling into through and out of the Celestial Temple.

    However, I get that some people don't want one, so for those Make it skippable, or Sector space you just transwarp there as it stands, while entering from DS9 map gives you the full scene.

    So, maybe a one time cut scene, but I'm assuming not like this one time cut scene.

    And much shorter, like this.

    Need? No. But if it were possible to replace the current loading screen with an animated loading screen that simulates traveling through the wormhole, that might be cool.

    Only if it was in place of the loading screen.

    As the main pastime in the gamma quadrant is to sit about idly twiddling thumbs as we wait for the queues to pop, others to click accept, loading screens and the 30 secs pause while noone bothers to pay attention to the objective we don't really need anything else to prolong the time wasting and tedium.

    On lower end computers that might make the animation choppy, or delay the loading so much that it barely saves time from multi-tasking, and I doubt it's possible to make an old game engine use up different cpu cores and optimize everything. Having separate coding for high end vs low end machines is extra work.

    I'd just like an option to skip all animations (Beam out, warp out, etc.) before or after loading screens as to me they don't give added immersion as much as having an overall shorter (seamless would be ideal) waiting transition period.

    Have the cut scene as the load screen. That could work
