I can't wait until they nerf the Vulcan nerve pinch. It's too uber right now. Title: Re: Boldly going where no blog has gone before Post by: Strazos on August 03, 2005, 08:30:19 AM LeVar wants the franchise to die...just let it go...
Title: Re: Boldly going where no blog has gone before Post by: HaemishM on August 03, 2005, 08:36:55 AM Goddamn, I cannot imagine a shittier, more boring license to center an MMOG around than Star Trek, circa Next Generation timeline, with all players being forced to be StarFleet. Add in the forced grouping concept, and I can forsee great suffering across the geekosphere.
Title: Re: Boldly going where no blog has gone before Post by: Pococurante on August 03, 2005, 08:46:46 AM People have wanted the franchise dead pretty consistently since 1967. I courteously suggest they go get the 2x4 extracted by a competent proctologist.
That said I'm not much interested in an ST MMO unless I get something similar to Jumpgate but without the open PvP. I'd love to play a Ferengi trader.

Moving forward a few years to the Dominion War timeline might have been more interesting. But there are items of interest in the TNG timeline - the Cardassian Cold War and the whole Maquis thing, the periodic Borg incursions - pre Hugh, anyway - the "reappearance" of the Romulans... But I'm biased; a second generation Trekkie who in high school - before MMGs existed and before I'd heard of MUDs - wrote a crude design doc for a Star Trek online game.

Sod the Prime Directive.

Sod the Prime Directive. Well this is star trek so it would be more like banging your way through all the barmaids, princesses, green chicks in miniskirts on the holodeck. kaid Title: Re: Boldly going where no blog has gone before Post by: Furiously on August 03, 2005, 02:35:12 PM I think his point was he would never leave the holodeck because he was spending some quality time with a young Phibi Cates and not bothering to travel to the planet of the green skin'd miniskirt women.

Everyone is at war with each other and peace treaties and alliances only last as long as some greater threat shows up then everyone goes back to shooting the galaxy up with Phasers, Disruptors, Scatterpack Shuttles (*swoon*), PPDs, and any other wacky weapon the various factions can come up with.

Because I'm too lazy to type out WayAbvPar. "Oh I said 'it' again!"
