Thats the thing though; the Excalibur is only a connie skin if Cryptic hooks it up to work that way. They have the power to "unhook" it, meaning they can make a T5 Excalibur without having the connie skin as an option. There is no law of nature that says that says the Excalibur and Connie have to always be hooked together,…
I'm sorry you missed my point, but here it is more clearly: they *have* responded to this subject before, and they did *not* say CBS would not allow it. If that were actually the case, then there is no logical reason they would not have simply said that when responding to this subject in the past. I hope that is more clear…
I understand that you are trying your best to jump through hoops and come up with any way to possibly explain this without contradicting your earlier opinion, but realistically speaking since they already told us that CBS said no on the T5 connie there is no logical reason they would do the same on any other ship CBS said…
Like I said in my previous reply, if that were actually the case they would have no reason not to have said that by now. And what they have said suggests that is not the reason. So I hope that wasnt what you meant by "logical, thought out, or descriptive" reasons :P
I understand your opinion, but I think its more likely people will wind up getting all of the ships they want rather than strictly choosing between one or the other. Cryptic gave us a large ship inventory for that very reason. If that is the case, then all they would have to do is tell us. In fact, they have no reason not…
I've got nothing but love for the KDF, but realistically speaking there are simply more Fed-loving customers than there are KDF, so generally speaking a new Fed ship will make more money than a new KDF ship. No, I'm not saying they shouldnt make new KDF ships, just responding to your point above. Also, the Excalibur is a…
That is the flaw in judging a book by its cover, as it were. I actually dont want a T5 connie. Just to be clear, I'm not opposed to it, I just dont personally want it.
To put it pretty simply, the "point" of having ANY fleet ships is to make Cryptic money. That is why they require fleet modules from the C-store. Even if it may fill a similar tactical role as other ships, if it is something people want to buy then that means money for Cryptic.
I agree; the KDF is in pretty good shape now. In fact, it feels like more of a real faction than the Romulan Republic, since they dont even have their own fleets or starbases.
Actually you can zoom, although it is not tied to the mouse wheel and it also removes the UI from your screen. I dont really like that myself, but I do like the way the combat works :)
Not at all. You see, it is possible to like one thing, while liking something else even more. For example, I enjoy vanilla ice cream. I enjoy chocolate ice cream even more, but that does not mean I am criticizing vanilla ice cream. Likewise, I enjoy this game, and I even enjoy its ground combat. However, I like NW's ground…
Yes he is 1 person, but he is not "just one dev" in the sense you mean it. He is in fact the Lead Designer, meaning he is the 2nd man in charge on this game after Dan Stahl. So if Dan Stahl doesnt really care either way, then that means Geko can block something from happening for completely personal reasons, regardless of…
Good lord, what an over-dramatic bunch of nonsense. Every game has its flaws and can improve in certain areas, this one included. And every dev team has certain things they would like to be able to do but cant, this one included. And yes, every game has missed opportunities where they could have done things better, this…
So what? Lots of people have tons of credits. And that was just ONE of the ways I mentioned. I earn about 50 zen a day playing *very* casually and trading dilithium for zen. That means I could buy a key every other day if I actually wanted to, but I dont. The point is, it is very easy to get keys without spending any of…
You dont have to. As LT player, you get 500 zen every month. That means you can get keys without spending any money. Also, you can can trade dilithium for zen, meaning once again, you can get keys without spending any money. Lastly, you can buy keys of the exchange for EC. Meaning you can get keys without spending any of…
Except he didnt say anything about maybe doing it later, he flat out said "no". That is not listening to your players and prioritizing, it is simply not caring. You are completely wrong on two key points. First, a JJprise would certainly make a lot of money because a lot of people liked those movies. Second, Cryptic doesnt…
I just searched the word "baseball" and found only 1 entry which has nothing to do with what you are talking about. Check for yourself here: http://sto.gamepedia.com/Path_to_2409
Like I said in my previous post, Starfleet is an Earth based organization, so it makes sense that Starfleet officers would play Earth based sports, regardless of their species, since they trained on Earth and were exposed to Earth culture. What I'm saying doesnt make sense is for members of the actual Klingon or Romulan…
Apparently yours is too, since you thought I was upset when I wasnt. Nope, I never said that. I think that it makes complete sense that Starfleet officers(of all species) would play soccer in their off duty time, and wear soccer uniforms when they were playing. After all, soccer is an Earth based sport, and all Starfleet…
I'm not upset about anything. In fact, judging by your repeated use of all caps words in your post, you seem to be the only person who is remotely "upset" in this thread. So, I recommend taking a break from the internet and getting some fresh air outside. Just because you disagree with someone on a video game message board…
You can give whatever color card you want, I honestly dont care. My point is, regardless of the violence that can occur, Klingons and Romulans wearing soccer jerseys sounds like a bad joke. Unless the OP was suggesting that it made sense for Starfleet/KDF/Romulan characters to be playing a sport in their formal military…
While it might make sense for Starfleet officers to do this in their off time, it wouldnt make much sense for Klingon or Romulan faction players. Therefore, it is not a very good use of dev time to work on a mini-game that only makes sense for 1 faction.
His answer is pretty interesting. Notice that he did not say CBS would not allow this, and if that was actually the case he would have no reason not to say it. So if CBS is not the reason, then the only other reason he would flat out say "no" is if either he or someone else on the team just doesnt want this to happen for…
All due respect and all, but I dont really care about what he said. All that matters as far as canon goes is what was actually filmed and put on TV or in theaters. Those things are Trek, not what people say in interviews in the "real world".
Not necessarily. The Star Trek rights were split between CBS and Paramount. CBS owns everything that came before ST09, while Paramount owns ST09 and any future films. So CBS only has the rights to make a TV series set in the "prime" timeline. Thats not to say they could not negotiate a deal with Paramount to set it in the…
Of course not. If CBS decides to make a new Trek series following the events of Nemesis, they can completely disregard STO's story if they want to. Or, they can go with the main points and just disregard whatever elements dont fit with the story they want to tell. Either way, canon is only whatever shows up on the TV show…
