    5000% agreed. Like a lot of people questioned if we should venture into TAS and I say yes, we should have and I'm glad we did. Arex and Lucien are still humanoid and functional enough to be crew. Ripper though, that's reaching over the line into "now you're just being silly" territory.

    Consider the following, from ‘After Trek’ Reveals Klingon Details And Original Tardigrade Plan For ‘Star Trek: Discovery’
    Tardigrade was originally Stamets’ boss
    Executive producers and show-runners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg talked more about PaleyFest revelation that the tardigrade was originally planned to be a bridge officer on the USS Discovery named “Ephraim.” The character was to be Lieutenant Stamets’ boss. There were scripts written with “full on scenes,” including Ephraim talking to Michael Burnham “about the meaning of life, spores, and the beauty of mushrooms.”

    A special bridge station was designed which he “leaned over” and there was also a special “sash” uniform for him as well. Harberts said having a tardigrade as a character on the ship was “pretty trippy,” and “fantastic.” But, in the end it just wasn’t feasible due to the CGI costs involved.

    Also, this.

    I'm glad this never came to fruition. Discovery was pretty hard to muck through at times as is, but I made it to the end of the 1st season half and found some redeemable parts in it. But if this plotline had taken off, there was no way I'd have been able to make it that far. It's too preposterous for my tastes.
    Admiral of the Haus of GaghGagh, Starbase level 94, we are not accepting members at this time.
    Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
    Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
    Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.

    Ripper's sentient, and effectively functions as a navigation specialist for the spore drive. Having him a playable crew makes total sense to me.

    In fact, it makes more sense than having a super-powered being like Q on your bridge crew. It's infinitely more sensible than Spot or Porthos.

    Oi! Spot and Porthos are sentient! And they can... navigate... sort of... :D

    I wish we had gotten that planned post-credit scene from the first JJ Star Trek where Porthos is on a little island after Scotty "lost" him testing his transporter theory.....
    "The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
  • Hmm. Well, it's not a character I'll be going for, even though I've yet to make my mind up on Discovery. I wouldn't have bought a pack anyway because I have Nexus Kirk FF/FE.

    1300+ base SEC isn't good enough for you? ;)


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    I like the idea of members of non-humanoid species as crew members. I don't find it any more unlikely than much or most of what's in every ST series.

    Non-humanoid? Sure. Go the B5 route with the GAIM and the Vorlons and do an encounter suit and translator. Like having Stephen Hawking on the bridge with different limb and body config. That's how they did the Horta Ensign in the some of the lesser quality Trek novels.

    Magical mystical creature that taps into mystical spores that provide teleportation as a nav console guy? Maybe if it's Star Wars and his midichlorians help him 'feel the spores'.

    That's actually worse than Voyager time travel and TNG Holodeck eps combined.

    God I'm glad Marvel is my favorite franchise right now.

    Meh, it's no worse than other Trek things like the Traveller taking the Ent-D to the edges of reality, magic wizard Q turning the crew into Merry Men, giant ameobas in space, visitors from Andromeda jerry-rigging the original Enterprise to cross between galaxies or shapeshifters which can apparently also alter their mass at will.

    There are a lot of conceits throughout the entire franchise, my only issue with the spore drive is that it currently breaks continuity without a sound reason. All the updated tech makes sense given it's a show developed in the late 2010's, spore drive not as much, although I'm sure it'll provide an author a payday when it gets retconned into a VOY novel.
  • that's reaching over the line into "now you're just being silly" territory.

    Agreed. I feel we're on a slippery slope now, especially when you combine this with utter rubbish like Pirate Janeway.

    I think my days of enjoying this game are numbered.

    the art on ripper is perplexing. looks like a guy in a fun fur suit and mask. If they had it just like in the show I might have gone for him. So I kind of thank the art team for saving my dilithium.

    Its this sort of closet “horta-ist” stereotypes that cause hortas to hit the silicon ceiling in Starfleet (only good enough to be an ensign)... Educated professional Hortas would never use their mineral samples as “Doritos”... unless it was dilithium crystals... unfortunately that’s like crack for hortas... it’s a real problem...

    My apologies to Horta everywhere. It was an inappropriate comment on a sensitive subject.

    Horta lives matter!

    Black Pebble will be “first against the wall” ... I mean “first little pile of black pebble ashes on the floor in the shape of a man” when the inevitable Horta uprising comes...

    Plus I think we are all Raktajino fans... a real warriors drink... not your watered down - over sweetened horchatas...

    I know you're being facetious, but I'm glad he isn't. The thing about Q is, despite being omnipotent, the majority of his "power" is overblown as made so by his snobby personality. He's mostly a bag of hot air :p

    That’s just Worf... plus he combs and washes his hair (probably with a gentle conditioner) and trims his beard so what does he really know about really being Klingon other than outdated notions he read in a book?

    The rest seem to be fine in their full oily, unwashed and unkept body hair... Plus I’ve never seen Worf eat Gagh either... probably prefers a Big Mac, unlike his brother Kurn who “will try some of your burned replicated bird meat”.

    Raktajino’s rock... it’s makes a triple expresso taste like a watered down Americano!!!

    In fact, it makes more sense than having a super-powered being like Q on your bridge crew. It's infinitely more sensible than Spot or Porthos.

    Oi! Spot and Porthos are sentient! And they can... navigate... sort of... :D
    They are sentient in our 21st-century use of the word... but not necessarily in future centuries. ;)
