Am I the only one the (insert unfriendly word here) changed it to force us to watch the freaking thing, WHY for the love of god why. I just want my freaking Phasers. The cutscense was good sure but not good enough to have to watch it x-amount of times to get the weapons. ALL CUTSCENSE should be skippable if your replaying and episode, just freaking mean to force us.
Again I ask WHY?
Sincerely, annoyed player.

Then explain why I can skip threw "Midnight."(and others) Your reasoning is flawed. And if you're with friends doing stuff then most sensible people would say they'd want to watch it or whatever. And just because one person skips doesn't mean it skips for everyone, case and point "Borg Disconnected's" oping monologue with Seven of Nine. Only in the case of map changing would your reasoning apply but in this particular instance the map change is the end and you get booted to sector space the moment its over anyways.

It awards the Discovery style Beam Arrays. I wanted to get a full set for my Discovery character once they hit cap level.

Because Cryptic. There's a certain Cryptic Lead Dev who believes he MUST try his absolute best to maintain a "level of rewards VS time spent in mission" - and the missions and TFs that remain that break his rule perplex him no end; and he'll do what he an to preserve his idea of 'reward balance'.

Does my character get a "Replay" button on that thing?

All the rest of the missions have skippable cut scenes even in groups, you want to use your inside knowledge of the games inner workings to explain why it won't work in this one situation specifically? lol
Some people love to make things up to try and sound knowledgeable.
Just because you watched it the first time doesn't mean you'll want to sit through it time after time.
Those awful midcombat ones always have me reaching for the esc key in the vain hope I can actually be allowed to play without interrupting the flow of a fight because the allies that arrive NEVER do anything useful. Or those momenst where you aren't allowed to carry on saving the universe from the iconians because sela won't shut up.
As for time and reward maths, they've already thrown that concept out the window by having the disco missions only rewards junky greens and have zero loot drops. Even less incentive to play them.
At least one player claimed that @borticuscryptic said this is why some cut scenes are unskippable. Maybe if we're lucky, Bort will chime in and confirm.
Ugg.. yeah.. that's very annoying. Like these people can't just message you on your ship or all gather in one location? It was stupid having to run all around DS9 and talk to each individual person.
I lol'd when I found that they apparently decided to shorten Doomsday Device by...removing all the accolade stuff, but keeping the 5 hour long unskippable cut scenes.
I became eligible for Social Security waiting for K'valk to finish his stupid song.
Just curious: What unfriendly word has to be inserted there to get a coherent sentence?
I hate unskippable cutscenes, such a waste of time. I once read that some simply couldn't be made skippable because of technical bruhaha. Which was meh..
But that they're now actively making perfectly skippable cutscenes unskippable...holy moly.
Ah well.. I still can skip the whole episode.
Maybe it wasn't actually "perfectly skippable", and there were bugs or side effects that could occur if you skipped them?
You're right, of course...may very well be. It's just so annoying.
Heck, I have a few toons sitting around that still haven't visited New Romulus after they reorganized the storyline the first time, because I can't stand watching that introduction over and over again. ^^
In all seriousness tho, I just wished they'd try to minimize it as much as possible. It really takes a lot of fun out of the game. I usually enjoy each and every cutscene, the first time I see them. But there's only so many re-runs I can stomach.
