CAPTAIN'S BLOG

I also was a little bugged at how often your captain/admiral is subordinate to others in the episode.
Certainly, I can understand the game play aspect requires something like that.

However, they don't even seem to try. For example; the animation when the gate fails and the ceiling is falling, and our line is, "What do we do now?!?"

How about something like, "Worf, looks like the gate is our only option." or "Worf, you look pretty strong, can you move that boulder so we can escape?"

"What do we do now" was terrible, even worse then something like, "We need to get out of here before the chamber clapses..."

Otherwise, I really enjoyed the mission and the enemy they brought back; while I enjoyed having Michael Dorn in the episode (and in the game over all) he seemed a bit stiff. Still, Worf was much better then Tasha Yar!

I like the ship and am enjoying flying it. (Even thouhg I am surrounded by them in STFs)

I hope they continue the same high quality and detailed environments in Season 8

Yes, "What do we do now?" was bad. But not as bad as the dismissive Captain Shon's, "make it quick." I'm not a fan of his.

I didn't have a problem with the flagships coming to my aid though. I always liked in TNG that even though Enterprise is the flagship, she was out doing missions like any other ship would. Plus, with gateways opening everywhere and the potential disaster level, I'm thinking you want to send your big guns in.

This ship is relatively decent. Make a heck of a tank if you set it up right, but it feels like a strange mix of cruiser and science vessel.

I've quipped that it looked like a whale in space. Maybe it's what a Gekli turns into when it dies?

Anyone else notice that the trailer explains practically the whole story of the episode in almost the same level of detail without you having to play it?

The story was a little off, it almost felt pointless my character even being there at all. Perhaps it would have been better to have "assumed the role" of Ambassador Worf and played actually as him, with the appropriate VO, it would have been slightly more immersive from that perspective.

It could have ended with Worf giving a report or debriefing to your character and might have flowed better.
After all, it can be done with ships so why not ground characters.

Also, why does Shon's VO keep changing? He sounds very different for some reason.

I have to agree with you Attilio on the ending. Its almost an anti-climax. The last battle should have been as hair raising as the ending space battle in "Boldy they Rode". Even now I still find my backside being roasted in that battle when I re-run it :)

It would have been more of an accomplishment if that had been harder.

I too found Mr Dorns voice overs a little "stiff" but... it was still good to hear him :)

And as already mentioned it was WAY better than Denise Crosbys VO's. I still cringe every time I hear her VO on entering Tau Dewa and I hear her say "ancient beings" as if she reading a story to a 5 year old *shudders*

I cannot wait till Season 8 comes out. A space adventure zone that's great. What would knock season 8 out of the ball park is if there was two STFs that depended on each other A ground one and a Space one say you are on the ground you need a certain target taken out but only some one in space can do it. So the guys in the space STF go in and take it out yes it would cause a lot of lag for those with low FPS but that would make an amazing STF. And with the dialogue I wish they would hire writters that wrote scripts in the shows that would truly give STO more of a Star Trek feel.
