It might have been weird a few years back but I can't help but wish Scotty was in the game, present-day, at Memory Alpha or somewhere like that.
By the soft canon accounts, he's going to be around at least another ten years (2421 or so is the last soft canon mention of Scotty being alive) and it isn't all that unreasonable considering both how long he was suspended on the Jenolen and how long people live in Star Trek.
Plus, Cryptic got permission for a young Scotty in game. An old Scotty that's a bit older looking than Doohan would be a welcome sight, IMHO.

I would really like to see Scotty on Memory Alpha. Even if not the real Scotty (preferably though) maybe a hologram.
Scotty was the best, and to me had the saddest ending. He was really the last of the enterprise to be alive and then he got stuck about 80 years in the future.
Omg that is so cool mine is tomorrow I feel like I have an association to Scotty! It's almost like we're twins and he got all the awesome and I'm just me!
I had the honor of meeting Mr. Doohan at a Trek convention back in 92, when I was but a wee 13 year old. He was a wonderful, gracious, humble, and supremely witty man.
Raised a glass to him at dinner tonight...and the drink was, appropriately enough, green. :cool:
Thank you for the reminder. I've read so many good things about Mr. Doohan over the years. I regret never having taken opportunity to attend a convention in which he participated.

I very much hope to see some time travel missions set in the TOS movie years, and the Enterprise B and C years. I'd dearly love to have an older Scotty in some TOS movie based missions. I always liked the Engineering Vest he wore when he got older, as well as the bomber jacket he wore at times. I hope they'll add those to the game soon.
How many of you read Doohans nontrek book trilogy, The Flight Engineer. Also not only was he several voices in the animated series, but also others in TOS.
Voices in TOS: Sargon, M-5 computer, Nasa Mission control during a time travel, and the voice of the Oracle.
I was thinking i caught Michael Dorn on an off day or something. He didn't even say anything to me, just looked at me with disgust. Having just paid £20 quid for his signature, i'd expect at least a smile.
dorn showed up at the convention (this was a few years before his stint on DS9) and started saying how much he didn't want to be there.
That the only reason he showed up was because him mother told him to.
You know, I am pretty sure the only reason why anyone would want to be the speaker for a convention is for the money, but please understand that that money comes from the people in the audience.
I got Dorns autograph as well. I think i hid it away in shame.
Here we have an actor that, back when Star Trek was being made, was just acting out a sci-fi engineer with a penchant for having miracle fixes for the show.
Little did everyone know back then that Mr. James Doohan, as Montgomery Scott, would shape hundreds, if not thousands, of young minds to become engineers, inspired by his work in Star Trek.
To this day, beyond his mortal life, his work still inspires. His ashes were shot into space, as his last request, becoming yet another inspiration for the next generation of engineers to aim for: Space.

Dorn= worst
Shatner= neutral
sirtis= good

Spiner on the other hand was legendary.

James Doohan, thank you.
