I started the new Update with the Black Friday Shop. Looked at the prices and thought: Why the heck should i go and buy something that overpriced when i can invest it in something way better.

Yeah charging a full AAA game price for ONE digital pixels ship is crazy. But this game target audiences are boomers and milenials in their 40s or 50s with a lot of disposable incomes so WG might be on to something

I’m enjoying the TNG event. Like the destroyer pulse phasers (super fast torps) they make ships go bye bye really quickly. Like the photon torpedo (ship missiles), also like that you can upgrade the loadout on your ships. I’ve not unlocked the enterprise D as yet - but seen a lot of them blowing up in the tng event operations. Whats also very cool is that all the credits, flags, damage you take/give all count towards campaigns and combat missions, so you get tonnes of credits and blast through combat missions and campaigns
@@seankelly69 your game is dying. Have fun trying to scramble 15k or more everyday like it used to be when they actually listened to the playerbase. Now you struggle to top 10K...LMFAO
the missiles are kinda fun, but i am scared that they will add missiles and missile defenses without making a new higher tier. up tiers are going to be hell.
The ST Borg play mode is fantastic. Not only do you make a pile of cash, you also aren't bothered by the cost of Flags or Economic bonuses. Additionally you still get bonus containers for your mainline game. And it's free. Add to that a gloriously fast-paced game with a predominantly direct line of sight firing solutions. No island huggers allowed. No Sub's and no CV's. A wonderful, fun change of pace from the tedious grinding of most events.
@@peeperinos Played around with each during testing. I've gone with the "Tuco" of TOQDUJ...CQB shield, hull and upgrade 2 on phasers. Photon atm but will move to TAC pulse in a bit.

Nah, they’ll just make everything else about the ship suck, that way it’ll be double the c*ncer, since people will hate playing against it, and hate playing as it.
I think that happened because they had to postpone the Star Trek thing so they dumbed the halloween event for it. But I think they will loose on this cosmetics-sale in direct competition with black friday. Plenty of people will rather spent money on that black premium ship they have been wanting all year then on some Star trek merch, even if they are Star Trek fans.
They need to go back in time, predreadnoughts, iron clads, age of sail imagine age of sail ship v ship battles. US frigate line with live oak construction with improve ricochet angles and similar historical ships.
Wooden ships against WWI and WWII ships? They don't stand a chance, cannon balls would just bounce away without doing damage, and the ships which shooted them would be burnt to the ground even by a tiny Destroyer spamming HE Shells on the target.
These collabs are cool but I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed that it’s always some futuristic jet age thing while we’re still sitting in water for our ships… make the map in space with the water layer totally invisible.
They already done that years back... and it makes no ffin difference in a two dimensional game. You can't move up or down, so the whole 'imagine you're in space' thing is nonsensical to start with.
The Lazers and the photon torps go hard, get like 5 plus destroyed every battle and stupid credits and xp, the same map over and over might get boring but it's pretty fun smoking a dd from 15+ ks with a lazer,, been playing the 💩 out of the star trek ops today and gotta say it's the best update I've seen in a while
I really don't like the lasers, sure they nuke shields, but so does everything and it's really hull that's the main source of HP.

3:26 They got the name direction right on the Enterprise camo so I assume this was an error. Thanks for calling it out as it’s been driving me nuts. I submitted it as a bug report on their discord so we will see if it gets fixed I guess.
I love this event. It's non competitive and relaxing. Those who don't have prem account or ship can make some credits to buy higher tier ship. There is also nice sum of Free Xp and so on. Most interesting thing is you can get even captain free XP directly from your performance similar way you would get it from 21 pts captain on any non event ship.
I like the operation, I am earning a lot of credits. I also think the port looks great. I can care less about a 6 point commander and the camos are cool but not for what they cost. I really do get irritated that so many camos are for one particular ship, often a ship I don't have and don't intend to have any time soon.
@kodiak138 I was talking about the ship specific camos. I do actually like having camos on my ships, and most of the ones in the shop aren't that interesting. I don't even know why solid red and yellow camos exist, but I got several of those I refuse to use.
This is how CO-OP should be. 10 minute battle with many ships coming from all sides. so when you are playing new york or another slow ship. You still can get a normal amount of hits.
Looks pretty good though the first thing I thought about it was they had the voices wrong. I wish that I had been able to get just the Enterprise's camo alone.
The event is fun plus you can use it for some of the leytte gulf event. If they put missiles but can countermessure with AA that could be interesting too
Played the operation yesterday for three hours and maxed out the rewards. It's a fun operation and ground out some credits. Good times. Yeah, whales only for the crash shop stuff.
Make it so. Btw,I also assume,those Ping Guided Torps are in test, becoming Rockets, added in the future, for the standard Naval combat game imoo,but ...lets see...
Wargaming would have made a licensing deal with Paramount that not only is paying them a share of all Star Trek money earned here but also would have up-front $$ guarantees. So WG is putting a lot of investment of money and effort into this, and if you like it maybe consider supporting it with whatever $$ you feel you can afford. I'm enjoying it as a temporary event.
Voyager was great! I'm kinda surprized, I thought it was more popular. TNG was the best liked of course. Aah... memories going to the videorental store and getting the latest episode(s)
I personally am mixed on Voyager. I think the show could have been great... if DS9 wasn't also airing around the same time and taking up the "gritty realism" part. Because Year of Hell was amazing. If the entire show had been like Year of Hell, where we see crew being killed off, Voyager getting more and more desperate, Janeway starting to understand why Captain Rudolph Ransom was willing to commit genocide to get home, and to really hammer home that quote from Q to Picard in "Q Who". "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid." I feel that's why a lot of people don't really care for Voyager. It had the ability to be so much more, and just feels like wasted potential. Though given they clearly didn't want more than one darker show at the time... I'll take DS9 over what Voyager could have been if I can only choose one. DS9 just felt more "real" if that makes any sense.
The whole money thing is the killer to me. Do I eat, pay rent, or purchase WG stuff... I am going to also say the flashing does my seizure disorder no good.
Why do they have Picard as an American commander? The show not only makes it VERY clear, but also a part of his identity that he's of french heritage... So french heritage + English accent now = American? lol
@teebob21 you're thinking of current times. Though there are countries still. They act more like states than countries under the U.E.. So the Enterprise would be under that flag instead of the U.S..
@@AtlantiansGaming there's no such thing as immigration between the countries at this time. All previous nations are now nation states under the U.E.. So that doesn't work.
I like the operation as you said it is all profit, also you get quite a lot of stuff from it, and it also counts towards the various missions, so finishing them is breeze with that operation. I am not big on cosmetics for the ships unless they are "real" camos, since they do not give any boni anymore I run nearly all my ships naked. :) Before I ran some of the cheaper war camos, or just for special events a special camo, to earn more. I take them fi I get them for free or can play for them in operations or mission and pay with tokens, but the prices for the Star Trek packs are way too much. Not even a whale would buy them as they give no boni at all in the game, so that leaves only Star trek fans who play WOW and have too much disposable money. Think that is quite a small group. If something works or not has never stopped them from bringing it into the game. :) First carrier rework was a total wreck, even now they had to introduce automatics for carrier player to get people to play them. Submarines are still not really working, they adad a turboboost to them, that makes them even faster then modern nuclear powered subs, and the torpedoes have a speed that defies all laws of physics.
Kinda feel like they just dusted off the old missile concept code for this event, rather than developing something new for the future. It's way too powerful for normal gameplay, and scaling down the damage wouldn't make sense.
Wallet is closed again for this event. The Brisbane for example would cost me $156.84 Canadian with a port slot and no commander. This is a rip off to start with. The coal version is 252,000 coal and you get a slot and a 3 pt. commander. Cheap and greasy as usual on the part of War Gaming.
Both my brother and I if you read the fine print drops a ship every 12 crates ,we bought 25 crates and got all three of the newest ships you mooron. And we got the doubloons back 7,500 In the missions In game and even got at least 2,500 doubloons from the remaining crates with my brother and I got 5,000 doubloons from mine. Only had to pay 10,000 doublooms for all the ships and got lots of boosters and more, It was great. Pay attention to what they offer. WG made getting the three new ships and good odds to get them.
Can't wait to get my USS Zumwalt someday. " With this ship evil will not triumph" Even though she didn't pan out the modern Naval concept of the Zumwalt class destroyers will eventually be brought to this game i assume.
Waaaaaayyyyy to modern to be in the game, assuming Zumwalt a superships tier or tier 10 ships then a Yamato (1941) can face a Zumwalt (2016) , that is like 75 years differences in technology, it like making a Tiger H1 (1942) fighting a T-90MS (2017). How is that even work out ?
Star Trek isn't really my thing, i'm more of a Star Wars fan, but it would have been more fun if they set the ops in space instead of the water, but eh, it is what it is. The obscene amounts of silvers are very welcome though, with the amount of damage you can do with the ships.
They did the whole 'space background thingie' years back, it doesn't add to anything at all. In fact it just looks stupid, because you get the 'impression' of a 3d environment but you're still playing on a fixed 2d playing fields ( you can't suddenly move up or down... ). The only time a WoWs in space would actually be fun, was if they gave them submarine movement controls where you can change depth ( and then the whole map is 'under water' off course as well ).
@@HONGKELDONGKEL1888 You can't really simulate 'space' when you're fixed on a 2d playing field. That's why Homeworld was such a good game when it was released, first ever RTS with an actual 3d combat environment. It's also why ST Online is such a drag, compared with Bridge Commander which has a real 3d environment.
I like all this content, but I am VERY disappointed that Commander Data isn't one of the commanders. He was such a good character in the show and it makes me sad he's not part of this.
'commander Data' wasn't a captain.... ( except in TNG: Night Terrors, TNG: Gambit part I and TNG: Gambit part II ). Even the Sutherland commission was temporary.
@@MarvinWestmaas In the game we use commanders on ships, which is exactly what Data's title was. Just saying. Also, Worf wasn't a captain either during the main show.
@@theguru143 'The main show' lol... which which one would that be.. for you I mean? Worf has better legitimacy in ST lore to be captain, Starfleet assigned him the Defiant in First Contact and he was briefly captain of the Enterprise E. My point is, you can find enough existing voice line materials for a Worf in a command role, but less so for Data. Also, 'the game uses commanders' .... Actually no, just because WeGreedy press releases are full of crap, doesn't mean ships are 'commanded by commanders'. Any sailor in charge of a ship is designated as captain regardless of rank.
ps I am a big Spinner fan, I love the way he portrayed the character. I even like Data's storyline a lot. But that doesn't mean each character in ST should be 'captain'. Take it as this: *commander* Zulu eventually also becomes a captain, but would by those who think of the Original Series as 'main show' still be seen as bridge crew material. With Data it's even worse, as he lacks the legitimacy of actually being in command of a ship outside of field comissions.
@@theguru143 .. do you think Scotty should be a captain? Spock? Then why does TNG's Spock ( which basically was the premise on which the Data character was started ) need to be one? And if rank was so important, why wouldn't luitenant commander Dax be a captain... Jadzia even got command over the Defiant when Sisko was promoted to admiral Ross's adjutant. Data was a great character, I believe many people with autism like me will often look at his character and his interactions and recognize things from our normal daily lives. But for the 3 episodes we can see Data being in command of a ship, I don't think it's a well founded request to have him designated as one of the more important captain characters. While Worf really *IS* that, even if simply for being part of the Wolf359 massacre which is so pivotal in ST lore. That's why he will always get that recognition, because off.... *Perhaps today is a good day to die.... prepare for ramming speed!*
Denise Crosby was the Tasha Yar character you were thinking of. And from what you played as voice-overs; only the Worf sounded realistic. Then again, Michael Dorn (and Jonathan Frakes) have been doing toon voice-overs for years. I am old enough to have watched ST:TOS when it aired on NBC. Have seen almost every TV show and movie; but I am not that big of a fan to plop a couple of hundred $$s for temp stuff.
i agree with you about Worf, the others were crappy voicing, but i mainly grew up on TNG, DS9, and Voyager, but i also watched TOS as reruns, Enterprise was decent, never got into Discovery, and im waiting for the new season of Strange New Worlds to come out
All they had to do was copy/paste sound bites of key lines from the actual episodes and fans would have been thrilled. How do you mess up something so simple.
also, weegies turned picard, a proud frenchman who actually got annoyed at data due to his national pride, american. and worf actually is a french commander? yeeeeah... that seems about right...
The Star Trek mode is ok on its own, but feels really out of place in a mid-20th century naval warfare game. But kinda cool that it makes grinding though the various combat missions a breeze.
Biggest issue for me is that the game throws me out after ever "battle" I try in the event. played four battles, three have thrown me out claiming a server update. Only way to get back in is to completely close the game, game centre, retry to login, and if I'm lucky get back in. But it's just more grind, and more cost, and apart from the original "classic" Star trek I'm just not interested in it. (I'm 64, and thoroughly sick of the continuous rehashes of once good series or movies) I found the battles I have endured to be thoroughly "meh", and the rewards just not worth it. On the plus side, it's mainly just cosmetic, not much "pay to win" stuff.
I do like the Voyager and Borg camos, and may try to pick them up. I already grabbed the enterprise camo, and will try to get the cv as well, as i don’t have it yet. As for the voice overs, yeah, they aren’t the best, Gowron still sounds fucking awful. The ONLY one who is decent is Sela, and the only reason she is good is because it is actually Denise Crosby doing the voice, the actress who played both Tasha Yar and Admiral Sela in TNG. My biggest gripe by far though is that none of them use proper lore-accurate terminology like you would expect them to, for example, instead of “set a smokescreen/smokescreen set” it should be “engage cloak/cloak engaged” that sort of thing. And yes, Voyager’s registry is upside down, hopefully they’ll fix that.
this photon Torpedo / Ping lock mechanism , well offensively it surely should work, but what about the defensive side , countering such attack , AFAIC this is far from finished , the shield mechanism is cool and OK , the Phaser is just kind of a very fast torp , in any case trying to shoehorn mechanism that do not align with the core game play both offensive and defensive of majority of the ships on the roster , well it just seems off and made little sense
The worst star trek voiceovers ive ever heard. Janeway sounds like a 65 year old chain smoker... Im almost certain Kate Mulgrew would of done a few lines for free just cause its Janeway.. so disappointed in that.
@teebob21 she's done many events for free. Including C2E2 and NYCC. She only charged for autograph/ picture combos. She's done suprise visits to schools and other events free of charge. 🤷♂️
I tried the Trek Op last evening - meh, not a fan. 1 & done for me on that. On a side note, I got the first 2 Black Friday containers in that new track they put up, with some doubloons I had, both were Elite Commander XP, which I have 800,000 already - total ripoff. Done with "buying" any more of those also, lol. So this update is a total dud for me, lol oh well.
Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Star Trek? Black Friday? I couldn’t give a flying Phuck. It’s pathetic. It’s an act in desperation to inject something new into a game that has gone from naval battles in historic ships, to prototype ships, to secret document ships, fantasy navies ( can’t wait for the Swiss navy!) to Japanese underage girl ship. And yet they can’t resolve the many bugs in the game? Why do I have to exit the game, restart the game just to get into the armoury with my resources showing?
As for guided weapons, I personally don't mind, and actually would love, to have them added to the game _as long as WeeGee makes it a separete thing_ Make it tier 12 or above, I don't care, but it make it so it has protected matchmaking so that anything below that lowest tier for the missile age ships is not queued up with them.
I'm of the camp that won't spend money on this game and plays completely free, minus my time. Thanks to the Whales and others that just feel the need to spend real money on pixels.
WoW is increasingly selling you more and more worthless junk while decreasing the awards for the monthly mission assignments. What is going on with WoW?
Not a huge fan of this event. I love Star Trek, but don't think mixing metaphors is a real winner. Also, I think even contemplating adding missiles to the game is a mistake. They already failed hard with Aircraft, making an incurably toxic mechanic a core part of the game, and then added Subs, which are less toxic, but equally annoying. If they add missiles, that'll be the beginning of the end.
Yeah i have to agree that probably the weakest part of this event is the voice actors. They did a good job themselves but they don’t fit the characters at all. Gowron sounds like Starscream

I like the operation, I am earning a lot of credits. I also think the port looks great. I can care less about a 6 point commander and the camos are cool but not for what they cost. I really do get irritated that so many camos are for one particular ship, often a ship I don't have and don't intend to have any time soon.
You don't need that ship they are showing you just need a ship from that country/nation and you can use the captain for it.
@kodiak138 I was talking about the ship specific camos. I do actually like having camos on my ships, and most of the ones in the shop aren't that interesting. I don't even know why solid red and yellow camos exist, but I got several of those I refuse to use.
They've not mentioned it in dev blogs, because they don't want the backlash missiles would bring.
This is how CO-OP should be. 10 minute battle with many ships coming from all sides. so when you are playing new york or another slow ship. You still can get a normal amount of hits.
I still remember WG did a space themed map a few years ago. Why did they not reuse that mode? This looks ridiculous, spaceships on water.
Did you not read the backstory for the event? These naval operations are being fought in the oceans of Planet Vulcan.
so i buyed modules but they wont show up on equip screen in event hub,,,
Anyone have any idea why my "purchased" modules won't show up?
FYI - I took my Salem out recently. They fixed the name and registry for the Voyager camo. 🙂
I've been having plenty of fun running the Romulan Destroyer using the phaser pulse launchers and Forest Sherman style guns
Looks pretty good though the first thing I thought about it was they had the voices wrong. I wish that I had been able to get just the Enterprise's camo alone.
The event is fun plus you can use it for some of the leytte gulf event. If they put missiles but can countermessure with AA that could be interesting too
Works fine in EU. I’m really enjoying the Star Trek operation so far.
Played the operation yesterday for three hours and maxed out the rewards. It's a fun operation and ground out some credits. Good times.
Yeah, whales only for the crash shop stuff.
"Borg Queen" is defo vo-coded "Janeway"
I'm enjoying the event. Breathing a little new life into the game.
My captain in Navyfield was called Janeway.
Make it so.
Btw,I also assume,those Ping Guided Torps are in test, becoming Rockets, added in the future, for the standard Naval combat game imoo,but ...lets see...
Thing is, what's fun in a specific game mode isn't necessarily fun thrown into the game.
Say it again, louder for WeeGee in the back.
I would love to see a Star Wars crossover! Especially if there is a venator as a hybrid!
🤮 please no, sick of 'Jedi magical powers' or funny buttons in WoWs. It's a ffin naval battle game, not a ffin rpg with wizzards.
Wargaming would have made a licensing deal with Paramount that not only is paying them a share of all Star Trek money earned here but also would have up-front $$ guarantees. So WG is putting a lot of investment of money and effort into this, and if you like it maybe consider supporting it with whatever $$ you feel you can afford. I'm enjoying it as a temporary event.
Anyone else have to deal with the WG account linking snafu?
yeah, I was having issues last night, glad it wasn't just me.
I still have not been able to link my accounts or log into the game, for 2 days already
Three days no login so far.
I have years into this game and not ll my ships and commanders are seemingly gone. I've taking up drinking alot to pass the time.
@snowboredsnj For me, I just had to check for updates on my PC and get it fully updated, then I was able to log in again.
dont tell them about missing repair costs shhhhh, they going to greed out and patch
Voyager was great! I'm kinda surprized, I thought it was more popular. TNG was the best liked of course. Aah... memories going to the videorental store and getting the latest episode(s)
I personally am mixed on Voyager. I think the show could have been great... if DS9 wasn't also airing around the same time and taking up the "gritty realism" part. Because Year of Hell was amazing. If the entire show had been like Year of Hell, where we see crew being killed off, Voyager getting more and more desperate, Janeway starting to understand why Captain Rudolph Ransom was willing to commit genocide to get home, and to really hammer home that quote from Q to Picard in "Q Who". "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
I feel that's why a lot of people don't really care for Voyager. It had the ability to be so much more, and just feels like wasted potential. Though given they clearly didn't want more than one darker show at the time... I'll take DS9 over what Voyager could have been if I can only choose one. DS9 just felt more "real" if that makes any sense.
granted i havent watched much TNG yet, but Riker is a Pan-Asian Captain?
I thought that was weird too
That doesnt sound like Janeway at all...
The whole money thing is the killer to me. Do I eat, pay rent, or purchase WG stuff... I am going to also say the flashing does my seizure disorder no good.
Why do they have Picard as an American commander? The show not only makes it VERY clear, but also a part of his identity that he's of french heritage... So french heritage + English accent now = American? lol
He commands the Enterprise in the show. The Enterprise is an American ship. It's not a difficult bit of logic.
Picard is an American Immigrant.
He went to college in San Francisco.
@teebob21 you're thinking of current times. Though there are countries still. They act more like states than countries under the U.E.. So the Enterprise would be under that flag instead of the U.S..
@@AtlantiansGaming there's no such thing as immigration between the countries at this time. All previous nations are now nation states under the U.E.. So that doesn't work.
this event shows me they could pull off a space cruiser yamato crossover.
I like the operation as you said it is all profit, also you get quite a lot of stuff from it, and it also counts towards the various missions, so finishing them is breeze with that operation.
I am not big on cosmetics for the ships unless they are "real" camos, since they do not give any boni anymore I run nearly all my ships naked. :)
Before I ran some of the cheaper war camos, or just for special events a special camo, to earn more.
I take them fi I get them for free or can play for them in operations or mission and pay with tokens, but the prices for the Star Trek packs are way too much.
Not even a whale would buy them as they give no boni at all in the game, so that leaves only Star trek fans who play WOW and have too much disposable money.
Think that is quite a small group.
If something works or not has never stopped them from bringing it into the game. :)
First carrier rework was a total wreck, even now they had to introduce automatics for carrier player to get people to play them.
Submarines are still not really working, they adad a turboboost to them, that makes them even faster then modern nuclear powered subs, and the torpedoes have a speed that defies all laws of physics.
i did not like star trek to begin with and this kinda makes it a good decision. Thanks for the video
am really enjoying this!
Kinda feel like they just dusted off the old missile concept code for this event, rather than developing something new for the future. It's way too powerful for normal gameplay, and scaling down the damage wouldn't make sense.
Wallet is closed again for this event. The Brisbane for example would cost me $156.84 Canadian with a port slot and no commander. This is a rip off to start with. The coal version is 252,000 coal and you get a slot and a 3 pt. commander. Cheap and greasy as usual on the part of War Gaming.
Both my brother and I if you read the fine print drops a ship every 12 crates ,we bought 25 crates and got all three of the newest ships you mooron. And we got the doubloons back 7,500 In the missions In game and even got at least 2,500 doubloons from the remaining crates with my brother and I got 5,000 doubloons from mine. Only had to pay 10,000 doublooms for all the ships and got lots of boosters and more, It was great. Pay attention to what they offer. WG made getting the three new ships and good odds to get them.
Can't wait to get my USS Zumwalt someday. " With this ship evil will not triumph" Even though she didn't pan out the modern Naval concept of the Zumwalt class destroyers will eventually be brought to this game i assume.
Waaaaaayyyyy to modern to be in the game, assuming Zumwalt a superships tier or tier 10 ships then a Yamato (1941) can face a Zumwalt (2016) , that is like 75 years differences in technology, it like making a Tiger H1 (1942) fighting a T-90MS (2017). How is that even work out ?
@faynk.6247 I'm talking about the evolution of this game, I would bet in years to come
Star Trek isn't really my thing, i'm more of a Star Wars fan, but it would have been more fun if they set the ops in space instead of the water, but eh, it is what it is.
The obscene amounts of silvers are very welcome though, with the amount of damage you can do with the ships.
They did the whole 'space background thingie' years back, it doesn't add to anything at all. In fact it just looks stupid, because you get the 'impression' of a 3d environment but you're still playing on a fixed 2d playing fields ( you can't suddenly move up or down... ).
The only time a WoWs in space would actually be fun, was if they gave them submarine movement controls where you can change depth ( and then the whole map is 'under water' off course as well ).
@@MarvinWestmaas yeah, using the submarine mechanics would work better, i think too.
@@HONGKELDONGKEL1888 You can't really simulate 'space' when you're fixed on a 2d playing field.
That's why Homeworld was such a good game when it was released, first ever RTS with an actual 3d combat environment.
It's also why ST Online is such a drag, compared with Bridge Commander which has a real 3d environment.
Look at the Elite Commander XP for each game.
I like all this content, but I am VERY disappointed that Commander Data isn't one of the commanders. He was such a good character in the show and it makes me sad he's not part of this.
'commander Data' wasn't a captain.... ( except in TNG: Night Terrors, TNG: Gambit part I and TNG: Gambit part II ). Even the Sutherland commission was temporary.
@@MarvinWestmaas In the game we use commanders on ships, which is exactly what Data's title was. Just saying. Also, Worf wasn't a captain either during the main show.
@@theguru143 'The main show' lol... which which one would that be.. for you I mean?
Worf has better legitimacy in ST lore to be captain, Starfleet assigned him the Defiant in First Contact and he was briefly captain of the Enterprise E.
My point is, you can find enough existing voice line materials for a Worf in a command role, but less so for Data.
Also, 'the game uses commanders' ....
Actually no, just because WeGreedy press releases are full of crap, doesn't mean ships are 'commanded by commanders'. Any sailor in charge of a ship is designated as captain regardless of rank.
ps I am a big Spinner fan, I love the way he portrayed the character. I even like Data's storyline a lot. But that doesn't mean each character in ST should be 'captain'.
Take it as this: *commander* Zulu eventually also becomes a captain, but would by those who think of the Original Series as 'main show' still be seen as bridge crew material. With Data it's even worse, as he lacks the legitimacy of actually being in command of a ship outside of field comissions.
@@theguru143 .. do you think Scotty should be a captain? Spock? Then why does TNG's Spock ( which basically was the premise on which the Data character was started ) need to be one? And if rank was so important, why wouldn't luitenant commander Dax be a captain... Jadzia even got command over the Defiant when Sisko was promoted to admiral Ross's adjutant.
Data was a great character, I believe many people with autism like me will often look at his character and his interactions and recognize things from our normal daily lives.
But for the 3 episodes we can see Data being in command of a ship, I don't think it's a well founded request to have him designated as one of the more important captain characters.
While Worf really *IS* that, even if simply for being part of the Wolf359 massacre which is so pivotal in ST lore. That's why he will always get that recognition, because off....
*Perhaps today is a good day to die.... prepare for ramming speed!*
New jersey with tomahawks?
The worst commanders sound was the Turtles.
WG CEO when asked about adding Star Trek crap again... "Make it Blow" 😂😂😂
Do we get to keep the enterprise D?
Prob not cuz wargaming
Just been enjoying this mode. Plus extea stuff have been unlocked with this one.
Those commander voice-overs were rough! 😂😂😂
Denise Crosby was the Tasha Yar character you were thinking of. And from what you played as voice-overs; only the Worf sounded realistic. Then again, Michael Dorn (and Jonathan Frakes) have been doing toon voice-overs for years.
I am old enough to have watched ST:TOS when it aired on NBC. Have seen almost every TV show and movie; but I am not that big of a fan to plop a couple of hundred $$s for temp stuff.
i agree with you about Worf, the others were crappy voicing, but i mainly grew up on TNG, DS9, and Voyager, but i also watched TOS as reruns, Enterprise was decent, never got into Discovery, and im waiting for the new season of Strange New Worlds to come out
Anyone else stuck in Star Fleet mode? Won't let me switch to anything else, even after shutting down my pc twice.
Is this prelude to WG introducing new age ships with missiles firing capability?
They know we’re all huge Trek dorks and will have to pay out to get them.
I wonder if WG might try modiflying the game by removing things, like team kill, from the game. (they have done it before )
Gowron sounds great In British BBs
All they had to do was copy/paste sound bites of key lines from the actual episodes and fans would have been thrilled. How do you mess up something so simple.
also, weegies turned picard, a proud frenchman who actually got annoyed at data due to his national pride, american. and worf actually is a french commander? yeeeeah... that seems about right...
this game mode is fun, though i did like the older halloween ones better tbh
The Star Trek mode is ok on its own, but feels really out of place in a mid-20th century naval warfare game. But kinda cool that it makes grinding though the various combat missions a breeze.
My modules says "null" and i cant choose it
Kinda cool. Interesting colab.
Biggest issue for me is that the game throws me out after ever "battle" I try in the event. played four battles, three have thrown me out claiming a server update.
Only way to get back in is to completely close the game, game centre, retry to login, and if I'm lucky get back in.
But it's just more grind, and more cost, and apart from the original "classic" Star trek I'm just not interested in it. (I'm 64, and thoroughly sick of the continuous rehashes of once good series or movies)
I found the battles I have endured to be thoroughly "meh", and the rewards just not worth it. On the plus side, it's mainly just cosmetic, not much "pay to win" stuff.
NA servers are really messed up right now
I do like the Voyager and Borg camos, and may try to pick them up. I already grabbed the enterprise camo, and will try to get the cv as well, as i don’t have it yet. As for the voice overs, yeah, they aren’t the best, Gowron still sounds fucking awful. The ONLY one who is decent is Sela, and the only reason she is good is because it is actually Denise Crosby doing the voice, the actress who played both Tasha Yar and Admiral Sela in TNG.
My biggest gripe by far though is that none of them use proper lore-accurate terminology like you would expect them to, for example, instead of “set a smokescreen/smokescreen set” it should be “engage cloak/cloak engaged” that sort of thing.
And yes, Voyager’s registry is upside down, hopefully they’ll fix that.
this photon Torpedo / Ping lock mechanism , well offensively it surely should work, but what about the defensive side , countering such attack , AFAIC this is far from finished , the shield mechanism is cool and OK , the Phaser is just kind of a very fast torp , in any case trying to shoehorn mechanism that do not align with the core game play both offensive and defensive of majority of the ships on the roster , well it just seems off and made little sense
The worst star trek voiceovers ive ever heard. Janeway sounds like a 65 year old chain smoker... Im almost certain Kate Mulgrew would of done a few lines for free just cause its Janeway.. so disappointed in that.
Kate Mulgrew doesn't even get out of bed for free.
@teebob21 she's done many events for free. Including C2E2 and NYCC. She only charged for autograph/ picture combos. She's done suprise visits to schools and other events free of charge. 🤷♂️
The name plate cant be on purpose. its correct on the Enterprise D skin
The pinging high speed flying torpedoes? Yeah looks very much like how WG would implement anti ship missiles. Just sayin.
fyi: Tasha Yar = Denise Crosby
I tried the Trek Op last evening - meh, not a fan. 1 & done for me on that. On a side note, I got the first 2 Black Friday containers in that new track they put up, with some doubloons I had, both were Elite Commander XP, which I have 800,000 already - total ripoff. Done with "buying" any more of those also, lol. So this update is a total dud for me, lol oh well.
I don’t like Star Trek but I’ll play just to get the rewards
What's the deal with the Super Carrier (Enterprise D?)
Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Star Trek? Black Friday? I couldn’t give a flying Phuck. It’s pathetic. It’s an act in desperation to inject something new into a game that has gone from naval battles in historic ships, to prototype ships, to secret document ships, fantasy navies ( can’t wait for the Swiss navy!) to Japanese underage girl ship. And yet they can’t resolve the many bugs in the game? Why do I have to exit the game, restart the game just to get into the armoury with my resources showing?
finally can buy a t10
So sad the jean bart is so expensive 😢
As for guided weapons, I personally don't mind, and actually would love, to have them added to the game _as long as WeeGee makes it a separete thing_
Make it tier 12 or above, I don't care, but it make it so it has protected matchmaking so that anything below that lowest tier for the missile age ships is not queued up with them.
The collab events mean almost nothing to me. Why are people rushing to pay for knock off, poorly imitated voiceovers?
its fucking cosmetic if you like you buy its not like you have to buy to have some kind of advantage, people are angry about cosmetics jesus
The game mode makes it so easy to grind missions but its so boring.
I'd have rather had a Halloween event that's not Star Trek related
I'm of the camp that won't spend money on this game and plays completely free, minus my time. Thanks to the Whales and others that just feel the need to spend real money on pixels.
Janeway sounds nothing like Janeway
WoW is increasingly selling you more and more worthless junk while decreasing the awards for the monthly mission assignments. What is going on with WoW?
Not a huge fan of this event. I love Star Trek, but don't think mixing metaphors is a real winner. Also, I think even contemplating adding missiles to the game is a mistake. They already failed hard with Aircraft, making an incurably toxic mechanic a core part of the game, and then added Subs, which are less toxic, but equally annoying. If they add missiles, that'll be the beginning of the end.
Once again, to hear normal speaking, watch at 1.25 to 1.5 speed....
Yeah i have to agree that probably the weakest part of this event is the voice actors. They did a good job themselves but they don’t fit the characters at all. Gowron sounds like Starscream
yes its upside down but how else can you tell what ship you're in?🤣
I don't pay for cosmetics, period.
Why are the Borg French?
Q they need Q as a captain
best mode ever y love sleds and homing ´´rockets´´
