Well, since the Voth were a one-off species, we never got to see if they had hubs or conduits. For all we know, those city-ships could function as mobile transwarp hubs. But at the moment, the only evidence we have that isn't STO-manufactured is that they treat transwarp like it's basic warp. Did that drone actually have…

It's entirely possible that I give the Hirogen too much credit, but since they could manage to actually hunt the 'perfect' organic being that was fully capable of slaughtering Borg even on an individual scale, I'm inclined to believe that they would at least inconvenience the Borg. A hunter doesn't engage in battles of…
-
This. Given the distance and travel abilities of both factions, the Voth have to be more than capable of raising a big ol' finger to the Borg and blasting them into submission (or just shutting them down like other tech). We're talking about people that have tech the Borg would love to have... but haven't assimilated.…
-
Well, unless the sphere's surface blocks their phase cloaking, they could just fly in from anywhere. Which does make them fighting us over one relatively insignificant portion of the sphere's interior rather pointless. 'We' in general don't contradict Doctrine. Unless by 'we' you mean humans. Yes, the Voth weren't exactly…
-
Except so far as we know, the Voth got in by actually finding the Sphere and flying up to it. Which means they could have an armada of 'fortress' ships (or even just a pair, really) outside the sphere killing anything that approaches it. We do not know the full extent of the Voth's power. Why wouldn't they bring any of…
-
Or, you know, the Voth are killing the Borg before they can get close to the sphere. What with the Voth living in the same general neighborhood and obviously being unassimilated (or am I the only one who never saw the Borg beam a fully shielded ship inside a cube, disable every single system and handheld energy weapon, and…
-
Actually, if you paid attention to the Republic only doff missions in Tau Dewa, there are personnel exchanges between the Acamarians and the Republic, so... yeah. Acamarian officers are a complete possibility following the lore as it has existed since LoR came out. Admittedly, making them playable would likely not work,…
-
... did M'Ress in TAS have digitigrade legs? My only complaint about Caitians/Ferasans is that they're stuck with those limited 'cat' hairstyles. Unlike M'Ress, who had a full head of hair. I do like the idea of customizing the FE officers, though the Borg science officer from Khitomer Ground (that was the mission, right?)…
-
The fleet Spire gives access to Voth science bridge officers. Or at least, the last time I looked, it was only various rarities of science officers.
-
But I am Gorn and want something more covering than the 'bare-chested primitive' bit, without being stuck in Klingon garb or the winter coat. May as well wear an older reptilian species' outfit.
-
I got five from the battlezone. Kinda made me think they were gonna be really common.
-
Dude, we have no idea what Doctrine actually says. The only concrete details on it that we have are that it once said, 'Transwarp is bad, m'kay?' Along with the notion that they evolved in the Delta Quadrant, are the first sentients to have evolved, and are superior to other life forms. The former showing that Doctrine can…
-
Given the age and power of the Voth (able to survive in the same quadrant as the Borg heartland while maintaining their viewpoint of being the most powerful group around), I wouldn't really put it past them to actually be able to harness Omega. And to the naysayers harping on about Doctrine being against Transwarp... look…
-
This. Though we really don't know the full extent of Doctrine's influence on their technological development. We do know that they enjoy a self-perceived position as the most powerful culture in the Delta Quadrant and don't seem to have had anyone knock them off their high horse (such as the Borg, who would be eager to…
-
One problem with the theory that the chancellor is an Undine. Letheans. Seriously, guys, unless the 'outed' infiltrators in the High Council purposefully revealed themselves to the Lethean mercs, the Klingons have working Undine detectors without any fancy technology. Just sic the psychic mercs on them. Start a Lethean…
-
You realize they dumbed down the Voth to make them 'viable' enemies, right? If we took them at show value, there would be no combat. No runs into the fortress ship to disable its power core. No blowing up their ships at all. The Voth would disable our ships, take us prisoner, and that would be the end of that. KDF and a…
-
I'd like to see him try that. What's his piddly little knife gonna do to a big angry Gorn? I'll pull an Ozzy on him. :D
-
I think that bug happens for some ship classes. Was an issue for the b'rel back in the LoR beta, even if you used parts that weren't from the c-store retrofit. On another, related subject, I've recently come across a costume bug myself. Minor thing, really. Changed the name of my Vulcan's assault cruiser and the name…
-
Well, if there are subspecies, they all seem to be hadrosaur descendants from what's been shown so far. Different crests, even spines on crests, but the same basic build and cranial structure. If you'll recall, they also have paralytic quills they can launch from their forearms. Not exactly something any known dinosaur…
-
Name suggestion for fancy hybrid torpedoes: Chronophasic or Transchroniton. I especially like the first one, since it, to me, captures the hybridized feel. That said, I agree with the guy commenting on feeling bad about destroying the bigger ships. So many dinosaur people dead, and they're not even GD style Saurians for me…
-
A flying Obelisk of Light? Does it come with tiberium torpedoes and Venom fighters? Peace through power!
-
Where was it said that the Continuum were going to set the Voth up to take out the Borg? Was this in a novel, or did I miss something in a Voyager episode with Q bothering the crew? Because I could have sworn I'd seen every episode with Q involvement (especially loved Sisko punching Q), and that doesn't ring a bell.
-
Depends on what goes into them. As many, including Cryptic, have pointed out, the Voth are more advanced than humanity. To a staggering degree. For all we know, each Voth mech has shields on par or surpassing those of the Elachi. In addition to neutronium armor. Obviously not 'pure' neutronium, or whatever rendered the…
-
Supposing evolution is correct, and Star Trek works under that supposition, humans are descended from reptiles. We just don't show many reptilian traits. Cardassians are just closer to their reptilian ancestors, though they also show mammalian traits. Like being able to crossbreed with the ostensibly fully mammalian…
-
Hm, so there will be Voth boffs... but they're Science. And probably only Starfleet or KDF. Pity. But I guess one will make a good replacement for the generic Trill I still haven't replaced since my Caitian got his first roster... supposing he gets into a fleet, anyway. XD
-
Ooh. Voth boff. That's something I'd want. As long as there's a Republic version to make up for the Reman science boff from Obisek's series only being Starfleet or KDF. And s/he gets the paralytic quills as an ability, because that would be hilarious. And the hibernation. 'Voth Boff used Rest!'
-
Dunno what to tell you, but my Caitian just got his diplomacy boff last week, and she beams out KDF style, just without the tap-tap-tap at her wrist. Can't remember if my Vulcan's does or not. To be honest, I haven't tested my Gorn's marauding boff, but given the lack of polish on them to begin with...
-
The marauding/diplomacy boffs do that too. Everybody uses the transporters of their faction, regardless of their captain's alignment. Which leaves Klingons (and Joined Trill, I guess) as the only playable species that can end up using different transporter effect. And Klingons, along with the fancy event boffs as the only…
-
I was actually going to comment on their antiproton beams before I got distracted. That seems even more extravagant than the quantum torpedoes. It's not like the ship is doing the actual mining...
-
Can't even really set department heads anymore. Ever since LoR came out, my department heads have been getting switched out for whoever's in my away team. They'll stay the way I set them through STFs... but the instant I go through a story mission? Nope, suddenly the away team are the department heads, regardless of…
