    12:30 - 13:30 ; Now that you mention it, your right. My main is a 25th century Starfleet Capitan but still I can understand this contrast very well and can find some relation there.
    I find your analysis even more impressive considering that it was most likely unintentional on the part of the developers since the 23rd Starfleet Capitan option wasn't available until nearly 2 years after this episode launch.

    I seriously recommend at least hitting up the Deferri arc before jumping into the Iconian war, to give context for the first mission of the war since Cryptic stripped that. Plus, putting it here does provide a bit of poignancy and more weight to why a certain Breen is so determined to Let it Go.

    You know, I don't think your medic or the cadet are familiar faces (unless I've just been missing them in your videos); it could be fun to do a periodic short update video laying out the current roster of the Arminger's crew; the bridge crew, chief medical officer, and chief engineer, and any notable frequent away team members... introduce us to these recurring faces that you know so well, but we only glimpse. (And occasionally update us when that roster has undergone significant changes).

    I never thought about the similar backstory between Gaul and TOS captains. If my own TOS captain has a personal enemy, I'd say it's Noye, due to both having been forced into a new life against their will thanks to time travel.

  • @Skyfire_The_Goth
    @Skyfire_The_Goth 3 роки тому +2

    I had no such reservations about the reveal Gaul wasn't being controlled, that made him even more heinous. He was complacent in his own people being enslaved by the blue gills, he helped them, he worked with them to enslave his own people to the blue gills. And, for what? To rule an empire? That is so much more monstrous than simply being controlled by a blue gill.

    So after getting inspired by your play throughs, I recently started playing STO again after nearly 5 years away and found it quite disappointing. A lot of the early content and stories have been gutted and cut back, leaving a lot of the later stories which built upon this work feeling sorely lacking and hollow. That said, I’m still grateful for all the hard work you put into your videos, as not only are the fun and informative, they’ve also rekindle the my interest in a game I burnt out on long ago

      Also keep in mind that Rick is playing as a TOS captain. Current Starfleet has a different start, with TOS having the most content prior to arriving at ESD. STD captains have the least creative start, as it's basically lifted from the current Starfleet start. I haven't played much Klingon, but you've also seen Rick play as a Romulan captain.
      I think it'd be interesting if the game could make your individual captains meet at things like summits and alliance conferences, as representatives of their different factions. And to have them fight alongside you in large battles as well.

    One insight that hit me on the last play through. Elder, and much of the other Vaurduar view what Gaul did with the Bluegills with the same horror and revulsion that they view the Kobali. As Parasites that steal a Varduar’s very body. Is it Xenophobia if they actually are out to steal your body? Your flesh?
