Nemesis

[ParkerHayden]

If I remember correctly, each captain had a nemesis that would appear now-and-then, or at least was a challenge.

Archer - Duras/Silik
Kirk - Khan
Picard - Tomalak/Sela
Sisko - Dukat/Weyoun
Janeway - Borg Queen

Maybe a player could create a nemesis. Choose what species the nemesis is, what faction (player or NPC), and the nemesis can appear every now-and-then in missions, or other situations.

It's probably more of a super hero-thing, but I think it could work out.

Not a bad idea you got there. But I see Picards nemisis more as Q.

My nemesis is a Klingon named Ka'rasak, I first met him in 2389, when I was an ensign, he attacked and boarded the freighter I was serving on.

That's a great idea! My nemesis would be a Cadassian: arrogant and evil, that's a perfect combination!:D

I would really like to see a nemesis-type situation, because I think it would add a lot of depth to the game and characters in general. Still, I think that something like this would probably best be saved for a future expansion, because I doubt that the developers would have the time to spend on making it truly great by launch.

I like the idea, but know how well it would work. If you look at the shows, the Captains never really had only one "nemesis." Picard's would really more likely the entire Borg Collective, plus a few others like Sela, Soren, Shinzon, etc. Kirk's would Khan, a few Federation diplomats, about 3 dozen members of new alien races, and about half the Klingon and Romulan Empires. Janeway's would be about half the Delta Quadrant with the Kazon, Hirogen, Vidians, Krenim, and a few more... plus there's the Borg Collective again. Sisko is probably the only one with one definite nemesis, Dukat, and that's only because of his involvement with the Pah'Wraiths.

Yeah, I'm not expecting it to come out at immediate release. Just a nice bonus at some point.

Not really. There were only so many recurring opposing characters.

I wonder if the nemesis would be more immersive if you didnt create him...but was instead randomly created and presented to you pseudo-randomly in a quest.

I kind of find the idea of not knowing who or when I'll get a nemesis...and also not knowing he'll be my nemesis when I meet him the first time.

I brought this up a while back. Some good discussion here too:
