Cardassian Ground Weapons and Spiral Wave Omni Beam

edited August 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I am sure this has been asked about before, Though I wanted to get a current thread started on this subject. I am rather invested in my Cardassian character and have been longing for ground weapons, abilities and an omni beam array for my spiral/wave setup. A space set offering an omni beam could be pretty awesome. I noticed the Cardassian missions take us more toward the Founders and Jem'Hadar. It would be nice to get back to what we had in the first quarter of the games life span. The missions actually took us to Cardassian space stations and planet side to farms and in the tunnels dealing with the Pah Wraith. So many opportunities for ground sets yet nothing that addresses the Cardassian heritage. I say Cardassian heritage because I know they are nothing more than a playable species and not a faction at this point. Though so are many other species that have had this level of attention. When it comes to abilities I remember fighting the endless waves of Cardassian foot soldiers in the ground patrols and the abilities they used such as officers using photonic generators creating soldiers to fight along side them. I have used traits and decoys for making up for this, but having the engineering ability would be awesome.

    You have my vote for Cardassian weapons.
  • foxrockssocksfoxrockssocks Member Posts: 2,482 Arc User
    I sure like the idea of Cardie weapons too, but I'll also voice support for getting those old missions back. There was soooooo much more content there before the joke of a revamp.

    YES! SPIRAL OMNIIII

    Cardassian ground weapons already have models in game, just for some reason we haven't been given a playable version of them.

    And I do want a Spiral Wave omni too, but I would like them to make an omni for all the unique weapon types, like the Romulan Plasma rep weapons, adnorian phasers, Temporal Defense Chroniton, I think we need an omni version for all of them.

    Cardassian space stations and planetside farms with tunnels dealing with the Pah Wraiths, sounds like something way before the game dropped on consoles, so bummer that I never got to see any of that stuff. I do have to agree that the devs have ignored the Cardassians content quite a bit, based upon that forgotten info.

    I find this request agreeable on all accounts, especially the ground weapons.
  • lianthelialianthelia Member Posts: 7,825 Arc User
    Would be nice to see some ground weapons, but we probably never will unless they're monetized in some way...may throw them in another 20 day grind event.
  • gunoy1gunoy1 Member Posts: 11 Arc User
    Well to all who support this request, please upvote this post and keep it as active as possible. Maybe that will get us closer to what we all want to see.

    Yes plz. I'd love to see unique weapon type versions of the quad and wide-arc heavy cannons too, but I'd settle for omni-beams. You'd think that Cardassian ground weapons might have come with the Plain and Simple bundle like how we got Bajoran phasers waaaaay back in the day with the DS9 one.

    I concur! I've recently returned to using the Cardassian ships introduced with the Gamma Quadrant arc, and a spiral wave omni was one of the first things I was missing! Also, a fleet-level or legendary Keldon class would be nice to find in the C-Store!

    Keldon is already in a lock box...or you have to buy that Garak set off the lobi store...best you're going to get unfortunately

    Also isn't the Keldon already Fleet level?

    Yes but a Legendary iteration would be an account unlock. I'm already resisting the third instance of each of two different lobi ships. If I "buy" a third instance of either I'll feel I've earned the right to tattoo an "L" on my forehead.

    Maybe add a visitable Cardassia to that list, I'm curious to see how the planet looks post-dominion war, also it doesn't make sense how Cardassian PCs can simply visit Bajor without any incident.
  • rattler2rattler2 Member Posts: 58,018 Community Moderator
    The problem with making Cardassia a social hub is the same problem that Bajor has. DS9 is RIGHT THERE. And probably has more services too.

    My Cardi toons approve. 👍🏽😃 Perhaps a Cardi Rep?
  • lordmerc22lordmerc22 Member Posts: 776 Arc User
    They could actually make story based on them and to visit Cardassia in the process. Well as we saw in old episodes there are Cardassians that seek to restore the old glory of the Cardassian Union. They could expand on that and make an episode where the group managed to stage a coup and attacks nearby planets etc.

    But without the help of the Terran Empire this time, the Empire turning them into minions lowered their value as villains.

    I'll just leave this here:
    https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/1256291/cardassian-rifle-pistol/p1
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
  • gunoy1gunoy1 Member Posts: 11 Arc User
    Well, I hope the developers are seeing what comes of this post. I know there could be a lot more to say on this matter. I do feel that the Cardassian faction was strong at one point they even posed a considerable threat to the Federation. The fall of their empire came with their union with the Dominion. Playing lap dog to the dominion was a huge mistake and cost them so much. I know that many story lines featured Cardassians in great detail. There is more content to them than what has been provided. I can see at least a few views supporting the addition of content to the game. I hope others may join us and help us gain their attention. If you have anyone who may share in these views ask them to post here.

    Knowing they have those weapons it is hard trying to put them somewhere that they could organically drop, like any Discovery Era mission should drop Discovery Weapons "Klingon Weapons"

    I still support the added feature of Ground Patrols in the future. I was watching some ground TFO with scopes (the visual of a lens marking a target) but on PS4 you have [ · ] on screen, it is GOOD for some but in a screen shot of your ship you want to put as a background on PS Profile it is like a 'pressed ham' against the viewscreen. That option should be able to be removed in settings, it is not on PC so why is it on PS4

    I think the cardassian weapons should be added to the Bajor mission rewards to recover the orb, same with Bajoran weapons (yes they are in game- as a purchase with Leeta or Deep Space 9 Bundle)

    If you're referring to the DS9 bundle... no. It comes with Bajoran weapons, a split beam pistol and a stun rifle.
