Does anyone know of any interesting alien species that were created for Foundry missions?
-
Lots of people thought they were the same. https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comments/1f641t/about_the_elachi_im_confused_spoilers/ http://www.sinisterswarm.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24212&s=208827bab14554d8693ebe1246382537 http://sto.gamepedia.com/Talk:Elachi Eventually, tacofangs said they weren't. https://archive.is/u8L2B

I remember a couple of years ago when the Elachi first appeared in the game, people were saying that they were the same species as the aliens from Schisms because they abducted people in a similar way. Then one of the Cryptic writers said that was not the case and the Schisms aliens later appeared as a different species…

Yes, the novel Watching the Clock revealed that Future Guy's real name is Jamran Harnoth. He is a member of a pro-eugenics faction called the Order of Omega. Part of his motivation was to ensure his own existence since he is a descendant of both the Suliban Cabal and a faction of Romulan augments.

I just learned that the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers is not actually a union. Tie-in novel writers don't have their own union, so it's highly unlikely that they can get royalties for anything more than book sales.
-
As I said before, Leonard James Akaar is NOT a novel character. He has appeared in novels but he originated on TV.
-
The rules about writers receiving payments for sequels and spinoffs are part of the Writers Guild of America Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement. The Writers Guild of America only includes TV, film and radio writers. Novel writers are part of the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers, so they have…

I know he appeared in the novels. I meant that he didn't originate in the novels. He served on the Excelsior with Tuvok in the Lost Era series. In the Typhon Pact series he was Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet. That only applies to TV and film writers, not novel writers.
-
Can you post a link to where that was discussed?
-
I understand more than you think. Every Star Trek novel character is completely owned by CBS and not by the authors, so Cryptic would not need to pay any additional royalties. Yes, CBS would need to approve, like they do with everything else. There hasn't been a single novel character who was removed from STO. Leonard…
-
I don't think they need permission, since STO already includes a lot of stuff from the novels like Mackenzie Calhoun, Tiaru Jarok, the Luna-class and the Vesta-class.
-
I wasn't aware that I was making a scene. Yes, I'm unfamiliar with the community. That's why I'm asking questions. There are no royalty issues. Cryptic doesn't have to pay any additional money to use character names from novels. Star Trek Online already uses some names from the novels such as Mackenzie Calhoun and Tiaru…

Can anyone tell me the usernames of the devs that post on Reddit, so I'll know who to look for? I already know about Borticus-Cryptic.
-
A "No" would still be better than nothing. I guess I'll try the Reddit.
-
Actually, I was referring to this thread, which still hasn't gotten a reply from anyone.
-
I asked a question on the Federation Discussion forum 2 weeks ago, but it hasn't gotten any replies.
-
Everyone has their own "personal canon" meaning the stories that they consider to be "real" in their own personal experience of Star Trek. And this is always different from CBS's canon which includes only the TV shows and movies. You consider STO to be part of your personal canon but not the novels. For me it's the…
-
Also, are there any missions where the authors have put their own PCs in the mission as NPCs?
-
Are there any missions which are recreations of Cryptic missions that have been removed from the game or that include characters or species that have been removed from the game?
-
Does anyone have a list of which Foundry missions include canon characters? Also, can anyone tell me how many posts I need to make before I can start a new thread?
-
I hope Rogue One isn't going to be a rehash of the Star Wars movies that came before it. Homages are nice but The Force Awakens went too far in my opinion.
-
The trailer looks pretty good. I was a bit disappointed that Prometheus raised a whole bunch of questions but didn't answer any of them. Hopefully we'll get some answers this time. Is anyone looking forward to the upcoming Star Trek TNG/Aliens crossover comic?
