Future Equipment

edited September 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
At the next first contact day, what if a reward of a colt 45 revolver was given to players? It was used in TOS where Kirk, Spock, and others experienced the OK Corral, TNG had some in "Times Arrow" and "Fistful of Datas", in ENT episode "North Star", etc. etc. Currently there is the TR-116b rifle from DS9, Mirror Zephram Cochrane's Shotgun, and this year got Picard's Holographic Thompson. Maybe a pistol would round out the selection of physical damage weapons in the STO game. Figured maybe a Western Episode could be made with a colt 45 as a reward for Equipment. As an alternate attack could do a "Quick Draw" that shoots and knocks out weapons from enemies disabling their attack for a short duration. Or just a cool looking rapid fire as an alternate attack. What do you think it would take to get something like this to happen? Or just wishful thinking?

    I want a bow and arrows, because Picard was Robin Hood in Q-pid.

    I'd rather have a staff weapon that can shoot energy as a primary fire and a secondary fire where you tap one side on the ground for an area-of-effect stasis field.

    The only way I would be okay with a revolver being added is if I could spin in in my hand when I'm not shooting or reloading. I already have a Revolver Ocelot character who has a billion pistol weapons (most importantly the Comp Rep Pistol) and I would adore a proper SAA or similar.

    If I'm not mistaken, didn't Sulu find one in Shore Leave?​​

    Return of the Archons?

    I was actually describing the Idryll Staff from Elite Force 2, something I'd love to have in the game but never could.

    And was it a reward that we could keep?

    Hear, hear! Give us Kirk's bamboo cannon!
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
  • zechimoszechimos Member Posts: 3 Arc User
    I love the feed back. Please keep it coming. Its nice to see different points of view and have other references get brought out. Sincerely, thank you. However, does anyone know of a way to make any of these ideas move forward in becoming part of the game? Or just wishful thinking on my part?

    @zechimos Just post them on the forum and hope that a dev sees them and thinks it's a good idea. You could also tweet them. Or ask Kael about your ideas during the livestream.

    No, they exploded. :D

    I think Cryptic were probably hinting at the Mythbusters' test of the bamboo cannon which showed it would've blown up in Kirk's face, when they made them bombs in the mission.
  • baddmoonrizinbaddmoonrizin Member Posts: 10,319 Community Moderator
    Kirk's shot diamonds. It's canon! LOL :D

    Wait. Forget the bow and arrows. I want a musket from the S1-TNG-episode where Riker was on his 30-day free trial for becoming a Q. And instead of a realistic sound when stabbing someone with the bayonet, you'd hear Wesley screaming in agony.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,569 Arc User
    There is already a 'bow' in the game - the Lobi Store Hunter Energy Crossbow. ;)

    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    If I may add a few things to the discussion...

    There is also a crossbow shaped weapon as a mission reward. I think it's from the Kobali, but I'd have to look it up.

    Capt. Picard was also shot with a bow and arrow. ("We have angered the Picard...") If someone wants it, I'm not opposed.

    To be picky, Sulu actually had a different revolver in the "Shore Leave" episode. Still, the Colt .45 Single Action Army revolver did show up a few times in Trek. TOS and TNG, at least. In fact, many handguns have been in every version of Star Trek so far, and not just in the holodeck. (Well, I don't know about Discovery. I haven't seen it. Even if not, we may still see one in a future episode.) I would love to see any of them in the game.

    And, yes, the bamboo anti-Gorn cannon is canon.

    PS, Can we finally get a dagger?

      A crossbow is not a bow… that's like saying a slingshot is a pistol. A normal crossbow shoots bolts instead of arrows, too.

      That aside, the musket seems more funny, at least considering the proposed bayonet-Sound.

      how about a holodeck costume store with "functional" replicator options? Then bows, crossbows, and diamond shooting bamboo cannons (maybe not) would be possible. But Napoleon cannons would be kinda neat.
    • emperormakemperormak Member Posts: 137 Arc User
      There's even a perfect place to acquire the handgun. Nimbus III. It has a desert city with a Romulan fast-draw expert named Law and at least one Gorn gunfighter. Well, that Gorn might be -spoiler- dead -spoiler-.
    • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,569 Arc User
      The thing about that Gorn -

      He fought Law, and Law won. ;)
