I played a really not okay amount of Armada, the Star Trek RTS game, in which the Akira was a baller workhorse unit, so I like that thing a lot. Also it had this intro cinematic, which is both  and completely insane.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ked-Pw0mZyY Orv fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Feb 2, 2017 |

I hated the campaign of Armada because of all the bullshit nebula stuff, so I just played the sandbox games and ran a Borg killdozer over everything in sight. It was pretty awesome.

Did the crew duplicate too? This is a video game so I'm guessing it's a short-term effect and the second ship vanishes after a bit. If so, do the short-lived duplicates KNOW that they're the duplicates? Do they feel terror knowing they have only a few seconds to live? Or do they always think the other ship is the copy?

Powered Descent posted:What the hell was that bola missile at the end, the one that duplicated the Enterprise? That was the Gemini... effect, weapon? I forget the full name. In-game the Nebula class was a support unit that had a bunch of buffs and debuffs, and their ultimate one was that. Clone a ship for a period of time, it has all its cool downs reset so you can use them again. Of course they don't bother to explain it at all 'scientifically' and the clone doesn't simply vanish but explodes every single time it runs out of duration, so I always assumed the worst, most horrific fate possible for it; they know exactly what they are, what they're doing, and they know in 22 seconds (I think that was the duration) they're going to warp core breach and there is nothing they can do about it. And because the Borg could capture any ship they wanted, you could clone cubes. So, that's horrifying. Drink-Mix Man posted:Funny. I don't REMEMBER 13-year-old me writing a Star Trek game story... Man you ain't seen the half of it. Worf is captaining another Defiant and the Defiant is the smallest main class of ship you can build, so you end up with like thirty Defiants running around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFBC9qmghl8 Orv fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Feb 2, 2017 |

There's also a Star Trek total conversion underway for Stellaris which could be worth checking out eventually. Looks like it covers all three major eras. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=688086068

Oh right, Worf is just... there, being Kirk and McCoy's defense attorney at their kangaroo court in ST6. Is that the most egregious charcacter reuse in Trek? I think most of the other instances are just actors guest starring and then becoming cast later, like Tuvok in Picard Hard: With A Saddle.

The Tom Paris one in TNG is weird, because it seems like it could very well be the start of a road that leads to whatever the gently caress he did to be in that weird prison thing in the start of voyager. Although seeing as voyager couldn't give a gently caress about character continuity I don't know why I give it a seconds thought.

Tom Paris was originally supposed to BE Nick Locarno, but they didn't want to pay royalties to use the name every episode.

That's about as much thought as Voyager's writing team put into Tom Paris for about two seasons other than "a bit of a tosser", so why not. Though truth be told that was always how I thought of it so you're not alone.

Beachcomber posted:Tom Paris was originally supposed to BE Nick Locarno, but they didn't want to pay royalties to use the name every episode. A few fans out there have decided it's their head-canon that Tom Paris attended the academy under the assumed name "Nick Locarno" so as not to be recognized as Admiral Paris's kid, and avoid special treatment or whatever. And you know what, as head-canons go, that one's pretty inoffensive. I don't subscribe to it, but I don't have a whole lot to say against it either.

Keep in mind TNG was already running when they did that.

Caught the Shiny Silver Future Borg episode of Voyager last night. Janeway wasn't memorably psychotic, which was nice. But holy hell does the Fed ever need to update their Weird poo poo Encounter procedures. Ensign Dumbass sees a green glowing room, walks merrily on in to scan it. Falls over unconscious. Next shot is senior members of the crew, walking merrily into the same room. At this rate all you'd need to do to incapacitate half the crew is flood a few random rooms with H2S. If the room glows green, quarantine.

I like the Akira because it has a different silhouette from what we're used to but still manages to fit what we expect a Star Trek ship to look like. That double catamaran hull is a great look.

Being a regular ensign in star fleet must be exasperating. Every other couple of weeks a senior officer is possessed, defects, goes insane or randomly attempts to blow up the boat.

My absolute favorite workplace safety moment in Trek, is the first contact with the Borg. This crazy looking robot guy has boarded the ship, is shooting weird electricity into the computer in engineering, and the security protocol is Worf asking one guy to run up and tackle it.
