> Should have given the entire 'Klingon War' arc a discovery theme for DSC characters then had the characters jump to the point before the Romulan missions start.
THANK YOU!, that would've been an amazing idea to bad the Developers didn't learn from Original Star Trek Arc.
> It was explained by Daniels how the arc is going to develop in the 25th
Are you serious the whole Daniel thing is getting really old there's no changes in the mechanics and skills system.

Actually I disagree. We could of had an Antholgy series of missions chasing what's her name and her ship through time.
Think Star Trek Legacy scenario. I think that would of been better. Plus we could of gone into times that are not covered. The 10 years between TMP and TWOK. The 70 years between Generations and TNG.
The 30 years between Nemesis and the start of STO.
Ya know. What Cryptic should of done with AOY and didn't really do.

No... Not really. That just gives a basic overview. Still plenty of open story to be had.
But nice try.

Because CBS said to have Discovery stuff ready by 10/9/18 and that's all they could get done in time?
Might as well since the tutorial was copied and pasted

Yea but we should be able to explore the discovery universe instead of being drag in to the 25th Century just like the Original Star Trek created character it's a rinse and repeat tactic again.

Yes, make new missions that players can explore in Discovery's Universe there were 15 episodes in Discovery.
Our character's are stuck in the 25th Century fighting iconians again and doing the same missions from 25th Century Federation Character Arc again that's a problem.
If we're going to C&P them, I think most of the Klingon themed missions could be adapted to the Discovery era with a few small edits to the mission and dialog.
Stranded In Space
- Maybe swap out the Bolian captain and change the name of the freighter?
Diplomatic Orders
-Swap out the Undine for a Klingon Spy. Maybe the Klingons want to launch an invasion of P'Jem?
-Swap out the Undine ship at the end with the Klingon sarcophagus ship?
Hide and Seek
-Swap out the Gorn for Klingons
Stop the Signal
-Remove the Undine and have it end with a fight against 'X' Klingon Battleship.
Researcher Rescue
- Swap out the Gorn for Klingons
- Change the theme from researching Gorn to researching the spore drive stuff?
The Kuvah'Magh
- Klingon Invasion of X colony
- Remove the Kuvah'Magh theme
Treasure Trading Station
- Change the theme from B'Vat's superweapon to a mysterious project J'Ula is working on.
Secret Orders
-Klingons are building weapons in the Briar Patch? Go and blow them up!
-Remove the B'vat part.
Task Force Hippocrates
- Swap our the Gorn for Klingons.
The Tribble with Klingons
- move said mission into the BQ?
The Ultimate Klingon
- Swap Amar Singh for some other crazy augment.
- Swap out the enhanced Gorn for enhanced Klingons

That's your PoV. All it did was say this year "XYZ" happened with very little context to it. And most of ot was 2400 to 2409.
It was a HIGHLY basic lead up to 2409. Only thing more basic than that was the very lack of explanation of how the First Order came to where it was in the new Star Wars series.
And yes I have read it. It's a basic overview.

Damn, that's a very intelligent idea I hope Cryptic Studios is actually listening to these creative suggestions.

Again why are Cryptic developers taking Age of Discovery characters to the 25th Century it makes no sense, why can't our Discovery characters stay in that Universe instead of rehashing 25th Century missions from Federation faction.
