Nazi Spock would certainly be a choice. The others I'm not making out. Of course I'm not 100% sure the origin of the image and it could mean nothing. True. All of the ships are showing modifications (roll bar on the CV?), so it makes identification that much harder. But that does lend credence to which ship that is...what Carrier would Picard be associated with? I find it amusing they troll the community with DDs finally actually getting Romulan cloaking devices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruzenstern Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 20 hours ago, Jakob Knight said: Special Commander: Deanna Troi. Special Ability: You Must Feel So Bad Right Now. When the ship on which Deanna Troi is aboard is defeated by enemy fire, the enemy ship that is awarded the kill is itself sunk as its crew withdraw from battle to return home and rethink their lives. I was thinking a special commander Deanna Troi's special ability along these lines: After losing 50% of your hitpoints, the ship sets course at full speed for the nearest landmass and explodes upon collision 😈 Now while I like Star Trek, I don't like any of this fictional BS in the game. I would take advantage of a Premium Tallinn if something like that was done for the Klingons maybe... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why Akatsuki. It's not that stealthy of a DD, at least by IJN standards. The Romulans will need a large amount of guile to succeed with it.

Jakob Knight Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 So, I guess I need to update my fictional predictions for these commanders: Special Commander: Ambassador Spock. Special Ability: The Needs Of The Many. When activated, the ship on which Ambassador Spock is aboard is sunk immediately. All other ships on the same team gain 10 percent reduction in weapon reload, consumable reload, and capture times. Special Commander: Chancellor Martok. Special Ability: War Is Much More Fun When You're Winning. Upon activation of this ability, once per match, your team and the opposing team exchange victory points totals. May only be used if the ship Chancellor Martok is on has achieved a Devastating Strike. Special Commander: Commander Sela. Special Ability: Temporal Anomaly. When you activate this ability, your team immediately wins the battle. However, any battle won using this ability will be an automatic defeat. Any defeat from this ability will become a victory if the loss was not your fault. If you didn't like paradoxes, why did you use Sela? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itwastuesday Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Ugh. I guess I'll wait and see what's the quality of them. If they're like the transformer commanders and replace wows music with TOS music, I gotta have a few. That funny fight music as dynamic game music, man, that'd be something. Personally I'd want Gowron. And daimon Bok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factional, bound by complex codes of honour and behaviour which are reasonable and can be understood, even if they appear strange to Western/Liberal/Federation values. The Klingons in TOS were supposed to be standins for the Soviet Union, with tense confrontations with the Federation between ship commanders but neither side seeking an outright war. Politics, espionage, and plausible deniability were the names of the game (along with a few instances of cooperation). The Klingons in TNG era were based on the Mongul Hordes, with honor being linked to being successful at one's duties and all of the various Clans (Great Houses) loosely united under the Khan (Chancellor) but otherwise free to pursue their own agendas. Subject worlds were treated well if they accepted Klingon rule and worked for the good of the Empire, but were crushed ruthlessly as an example if they resisted. I think if you are looking for a Japanese analogue, it would be the Romulans. Duty is everything, and plots between factions are conducted out of sight. A Romulan who fails in their duty is expected to acknowledge their failure and expend all effort to rectify their failure. Honor is also something for Romulans alone, not the barbarians of the other races, so any actions taken against a non-Romulan cannot be considered dishonorable.

Wolfswetpaws Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The inspirations for the writers of Star Trek may have been varied, and changed over the years (decades). The geo-political analogs of various cultures in Star Trek with actual cultures on Earth at the time the script was being written may correlate to one culture, or may be an amalgamation of more than one inspirational culture, in my opinion. Whether a "villain" one episode, or a "good guy" in the next episode or series, Star Trek continued to write stories that a lot of viewers enjoyed. Some concepts or lines of dialogue become pop-culture phenomena or at least food for thought. "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination." Or... "Hodin : However, the only 'tool' diplomacy has is language. It is of the utmost importance that the meaning be crystal clear." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708470/characters/nm0403588?ref_=tt_cl_c_5 "I reach you." - Way To Eden episode. The song, "Hey Out There". Hey Out There While this isn't "Star Trek", it exemplifies a popular sentiment around the time when Star Trek was created.
