Strange Equipment required for crew

Commander Sinclair

Okay, I know there will be some humour here, which is what I am hoping more than sarcasm or flak to DB. I just find some of this stuff bizarre and amusing.

Today's anomaly: Tsunkatse Seven & the...Ferengi PADD???



What strange things have you noticed when leveling?

I saw a post a few weeks ago where a scotty needed an andorian commando uniform.

Crazy Leo

All of ash Tyler's Uniforms are still made for women.

Kaitee

Maybe it's a shout-out? Jeffrey Combs was in charge of Tsunkatse after all, he played Brunt, something like that.

I just yesterday made Hippocrates Noah's Cigar for Gabriel Bell, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around finding some crazy-logic in-universe explanation for how that could be.

Mordack

It's often been remarked upon that Lieutenant Saavik needs a Borg Neural Processor at level 83.

Ironagedave

Well there's the usual why is Gagh used to make advanced communicator device? Why does Nog like to have tube grubs woven into his standard issue star fleet uniform?

Yep I can confirm that. Luckily I had one of them already

Tommy Gun Dixon needs borg exo plating at 93

Jhamel

That's not so bad, Kapu, Tummygun Dixon fought the Borg in ST8 on the Holodeck, you could see it as a trophy (Ensign Lynch's exoplating) purrhaps.

I still chuckle at Mara's Maquis clothing though.

Whats strange about a half robot girl, Using a electronic PAD?

[TUFG] Doctor X

The required "equipment" might be strange or it might tell you something about the character that you did not know....

I still find it strange that Odo needs so many Bajoran phasers when he does not use guns.

barrydancer

I think Thot Gor needed a 20th century pistol.

Strange is how did she get a Ferengi Padd in the Delta Quadrant? They only encountered Ferengi once, and I think that was before Seven was on board. I guess Voyager confiscated whatever was left on the planet from the Ferengi and Seven was going through the storage hold like a homeless person going through the trash?

im sory, I thought my humor was self evident. But to clarify. that was just a bit of "girl" "pads" hurmor. Not so funny when explaining it.

Personally, I’m still trying to figure out why whiskey uses so much ancient film and coffee. Can’t keep basic ancient film in my inventory with all of these O'Briens around.

Why Does Drunk Commander Troi need a Romulan Disguise? Does she think she can fool the Borg that way?

Why Does Will Scarlett need a Klingon Disruptor Pistol, and Mek'leth? Casually destroying a Mandolin requires neither of those.

Why does a Command Hologram need massage oil?

Why would 1701 Jadzia want to play Tongo in the middle of a time traveling away mission?

What in the galaxy does Vic Fontaine need medical lessons for? He's a hologram, he just knows.

Do Changelings actually play racquetball?

Who needs an ancient watch in 1996?

The answers to these and many more questions may never be explained...

What really gets on my nerves are all the 4* crew that require 5* items from level 70-90.

So...you're not bothered by the 3* crew that require 5* items?

Worst one yet for me was TWO 4* items required to build a 3* equipment. TWICE in one character!

...or why Gaia Odo is so deeply involved in Section 31...

Presumably he confiscates a lot of them? *shrug*

I also find it strange that a Baccarat paddle requires bloodwine.

Or that basically everything Klingons make and/or use apparently needs lots of bloodwine and gagh. Included communicators and clothing.

One thing I've always enjoyed is how you need authorisation codes for Neelix's coffee substitute. No way is anyone making that without the proper clearance!

Never noticed the Neelix coffee thing, that's awesome.

As for Gagh & Blood wine for everything –  it's because they eat with their hands and get their food and spirits on everything, clothes, weapons, you name it, food is there somewhere.

And Gagh is live, so you have to wonder if it crawls around in the ducts or whatnot?

Cornel Karr needing Haron's Furz ... best fail ever.

But, strong enough for a man.

I always assumed the gagh and bloodwine was for the Klingons MAKING the clothes and devices. That's how blue collar Klingons are paid and/or incentivized to work in factories rather than die gloriously in space.
Same with the Humans and the whisky. Plus, the ancient films are needed keep the demand for the whisky high, since Andorian ale obviously tastes better, without the retro-cool aspect.

Same equipment needed for building J Edgar Hoover

[QH] Captain Ziggy

I'm still confused as to why Klingons have no access to Gagh & Bloodwine and need to import them from the Mirror Universe...

The blood comes from Terran slaves. The worms ... probably better you don't know.

bottom line is that no one at db has ever watched any of the shows or seems to understand item levels

those who leveled the jazz riker . . . howd yall like the 5 star uniform for a 3 star char?

Well, I for one was pretty thrilled to finally get and fffe DJ Jazzy Riker. 3 star Command Wrap Kirk and Talos IV Spock required multiple legendary items,and were far harder to get in the freezer. I told one of my fleetmates that DB should give out "I immortalized/survived Talos IV Spock" t-shirts. Compared with that, Jazzy was cake.
