One CRAZY idea.

Not sure if I am just bored at work(shhhhhh), or just feel like I have let myself get too far away from spending time enjoying this game. I came up with a zany idea to go with the other one where I suggested we could get streaming, paid episodes for Star Trek showing on our bridge main viewer screen.

What if we could go to our bridge, and have either:

- a pop-up from our communications officer(which would be that officer whom is assigned to that console on our ship when we visit our bridge) informing us of an incoming message.
- a blinking message indicator and count showing up on one of the corners of our bridge view screen
- a blinking console in our captain's bridge quarters that is on the bridge like the Enterprise(and sometimes elsewhere on older ships)
- or an information text pop-up that shows up the moment we arrive on the bridge

This message would be a player made comminque that is done as though the message came from Star Fleet. It would be a non-Inbox/Private Messages way of communicating for role players between each in-game and out of game.

The unique aspect of this idea beyond the ways of receiving it that I mentioned above, would be Cryptic creating a composing & filtering program that would format the messages into officer Star Trek communique similar to what this forum community did with this thread: http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=186716&highlight=dear+admiral and this one: http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=186733&highlight=dear+admiral.


Anyway, it is just a thought and thanks for reading. Take care. :D

    Frankly, I kinda wish mission replay's "console in the ready room" was how we received our missions the first time around.

    Nah. That would be too much role playing for some, and would slow the game progression or fun down for most. The current setup with the replays now being where they are is fine.

    But I guess my idea was just too crazy as it only generated one reply. :p
