Why? So you can stare at the blinking light on your ship while the rest of us go gallivanting across the galaxy?

[topekaguy1988]

You are joking, right?

[phifur]

lol funny video I remember that race. But what special ability would the pakleds have.

[ParkerHayden]

lol funny video I remember that race. But what special ability would the pakleds have.
-10 Intelligence, of course.

[djnattyd]

-10 Intelligence, of course.

USS Darkstar---"Ensign, target that Pakled vessel and fire!"

Pakled Vessel---"Oooh! Look at the shiny torpe*BOOOOOM*"

[phifur]

lol, i can just see it in-game

USS Darkstar---"Ensign, target that Pakled vessel and fire!"

Pakled Vessel---"Oooh! Look at the shiny torpe*BOOOOOM*"

lol yeah that would be funny make a Pakleds chief engineer

Pakled Engineer- oooh look a shiny button.
Federation Engineer- NOOOOO!!!!!!! don't touch that button.
Pakled Engineer- oooh o..k (1 minute later) oooh shiny button....... Boooom

LOL

[Inquizitor]

Make us go.

[CherryTerri]

Sounds like a race of Dee Dees from Dexter's Lab.

Breif History of the Pakled empire!

(From Wiki)

The Pakleds are a heavyset humanoid species native to the Alpha Quadrant. To the casual observer, the Pakleds appear to be intellectually challenged, especially in their verbal skills.

The Pakleds are driven by their unwillingness to wait to gain their own technological knowledge. They therefore try to acquire technology from other species, generally by theft. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

In 2365, a Pakled transport first encountered the USS Enterprise-D in the Rhomboid Dronegar sector 006. The ship, named the Mondor, had sent out a Mayday because their ship was broken and they wished to acquire new technology. They were offered assistance by the Enterprise, who lent the Pakleds their chief engineer, Geordi La Forge, to help fix their ship. The Pakleds kidnapped La Forge, but eventually returned him after the Enterprise showed a display of its "force," with a harmless pyrotechnic display involving the Bussard collectors. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

In 2366, a Pakled trade ship rescued Lore after he had drifted in space for nearly two years. (TNG: "Brothers")


A Pakled on the PromenadeIn the search for the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor, in 2370, the USS Enterprise entered the Kalla system, which lies within Pakled space. (TNG: "Firstborn")

In late 2370, the Pakleds crossed the Demilitarized Zone to supply the Cardassians with a shipment of retro-viral vaccines. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")

Pakleds frequently visited Deep Space 9 and were likely to be found at Quark's or on the Promenade.

When Major Kira was paying Kubus Oak a visit in DS9's holding cell, a Pakled was seen in the background, sitting in another cell. (DS9: "The Collaborator")

Two Pakleds visited Deep Space 9 during the strike of the employees of Quark's. Alongside a Bolian woman they were almost the only guests in the establishment. (DS9: "Bar Association")

[Garrot]

Pakleds would be a fun race to play but I am sure with as many races as there have been discovered the Dev's have to draw the line somewhere..

[Nubadak]

Well I dont have to play a packled race but as long as we can make our avatars fat and stuiped looking (just like a Pakled) then I would be happy 8)

Can we make a fat toon?

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I would build the fattest Pakled avatar ever and wander around the Galaxy trying to sucker the federation out of their crew engineers!
This is a great idea I will join your Packled race and make a fat stupid avatar...I had a fat Mon-Calamari inSWG was funny to see him run around and stuff.

I dont know if I want to be Klingon faction tho.
Could a Pakled be in the Federation or the Klingon Empire?

[Maxazlo]

letz hope in none lolololol

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I know its a little off topic but I found this and its very funny lolz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ_L3b7osx4

And clean.

[Grox]

How did they even make it into space is a mystery to me.

[Grox]

I know its a little off topic but I found this and its very funny lolz

Your not married, you don't have a girlfriend and you don't watch Star Trek?.... Good Lord!

Ha ha ha. Good find.:D

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

Yeah it is a funny one.

Anyone else want to make a toon look like a Pakled?

(heres another one I found Chunk from goonies vs Picard)

[Interdictor]

How did they even make it into space is a mystery to me.
Someone didn't obey the prime directive. :D

[R4mp4ge]

Sounds like a race of Dee Dees from Dexter's Lab.

not really, they're way less hyper than Deedee, more like bill murray's character in caddyshack.

[ktanner3]

Different strokes for different folks. I never found them to be anything useful. "We Pakled. We far from home" " We love power" Not the most intelligent life forms out there. They don't look like they would be very usefull for hand to hand combat either.

[Nubadak]

Well really the Pakleds have turned out to be very useful eg:

-----In 2366, a Pakled trade ship rescued Lore after he had drifted in space for nearly two years. (TNG: ----"Brothers")

Poor Lore would have just kept on floating if not for the Pakleds.
And :

--In late 2370, the Pakleds crossed the Demilitarized Zone to supply the Cardassians with a shipment of retro-viral vaccines. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")

The Pakleds went "looking for things" found some vaccines it "made them go" stright across the battle zone and into Cardasia. If they hadent gone looking for things the war may have ended sooner.

The Pakleds are just simply the luckiest race is STO...thinki of all the good they have done and what good they have done that we don't know about...lol

[mirkrim]

Here's the real question: are Pakleds good enough for the Borg to assimilate? If you answered no, then they are not worthy of being in the game :D:D:D

[Skepic]

I have talked about pakleds on the fourms before as a playable race. There one of the few races that might interest me to play as, after the Cardassians of course.

[Skepic]

Here's the real question: are Pakleds good enough for the Borg to assimilate? If you answered no, then they are not worthy of being in the game :D:D:D

What makes any race "worthy"? So there a little slow and not great speakers, so what.

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

Well prob the biggest reason I wana be able to make a Pakled is so I can be funny.
And make a fat avatar. No game out side of SWG as I know of can let me make a fat guy.
I'm fat and wana play a fat guy..funny Pakled.

Anyone else wana make a fat avatar Pakled? It will be funny.

"Make us smart"

[Nubadak]

Well I plan on making a fat Pakled avatar..anyone else in?
..but it it possible to make a fat avatar?

[Nubadak]

A lil more Pakled history:
Grebnedlog was the Captain of the Pakled ship Mondor that was encountered by the USS Enterprise-D in 2365.
After Grebnedlog had asked for repair assistance, he captured Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and held him hostage. The Pakleds got their technology by stealing it from other species, so Grebnedlog informed Riker that he would release La Forge if all the information from the Enterprise computer was transferred to his ship. After La Forge managed to disarm the Pakleds' onboard weapons, Riker threatened to destroy them and faked the destruction of their weapons by means of a Crimson force field. Grebnedlog, impressed by this force field, released La Forge because the Enterprise was "strong". (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")
Grebnedlog was played by Christopher Collins. Grebnedlog's name was never spoken on-screen; it was only in the script. The name is a reversal of the name "Goldenberg," though what significance this has is unknown.


Hmm neat stuff.

[Lord_Nightblade]

Two Pakleds walk into Ten Forward. They walk up to Guinan and one says, "We would like to complain."
Guinan replies, "Complain? About what?"
"We would like to complain about your prune juice," the other replies.
Puzzled, Guinan asks,"The prune juice? What's wrong with it?"
One Pakled looks at the other, then turns back to Guinan and says, "It makes us go."

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I was engaged in a long and tiresome debate recently. All of my life I have enjoyed, as do many Klingon warriors, telling Pakled jokes. For example, How many Pakleds does it take to prepare a meal of gagh? Ten! One to hold the plate and nine to chase the worms! Classic. That is one of the great Pakled jokes, I heard that as a young child on the schoolyard. Perfectly harmless.

[OrabIbo]

Here's the real question: are Pakleds good enough for the Borg to assimilate? If you answered no, then they are not worthy of being in the game :D:D:D

they would certainly offer the least amount of resistance! lol

And being Borg it isn't necessary to think! Thats what the collective is for! ;)

Pakleds could easily be made with Cryptics character creation tool. While they may not be a represented race with their own ships and planet. Your are certainly allowed to make a alien that looks like a Pakled.

Now it's a whole other question, on if we can make fat characters. Typically, MMO's only allow you to make realatively fit characters. Why? Well they are the mobile and agile characters, and they can make one animation sequence for all characters. When you start adding fat characters in the game, things start looking weird with the same animation sequences. You have fat looking characters that are moving to fast for their size, uniforms that don't fit and doorways that are to small.

Some of this may be over exaggeration, but it's not an over exaggeration that he developers would have to make seperate textures, uniforms, clothes, animations just for larger characters. It's easier if all the characters are of the same size and shape.

It's easier sure but fat characters are possible just by stretching. It works in SWG well enough, there is (or was) on my server the fattest shortest wookiee entertainer possible, lol he looked great.

They wouldn't have to have a perfect look for uniforms etc for fat characters as not many would play like that anyway, but with most of the uniform being black I doubt it would look all that strange anyway.

[OrabIbo]

wouldn't call what SWG was capable as fat. Overweight yes, but not fat.

[Nubadak]

How many PAKLED does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: None. Well, first they have to kidnap Geordi to make him tell them which way in the lightbulb is supposed to go...


"Make us go"

[topekaguy1988]

-----In 2366, a Pakled trade ship rescued Lore after he had drifted in space for nearly two years. (TNG: ----"Brothers")

You consider "saving" Lore a good thing?

[Nubadak]

I dont know if it was a good thing but I am sure the Pakleds thought he would make a good engineer or perhaps they thought he was just a good find..lol

[Lord_Pleximus]

Sounds like a race of Dee Dees from Dexter's Lab.

That used to be an awesome show :P

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I found a little more Pakled lore:

Pakleds are short, stocky humanoids with large bushy eyebrows. They are fairly simple-minded, but they keep pace with the capabilities of other spacefaring races by stealing technology (such as shields of Romulan design) from ships they encounter.
Pakleds tend to speak in a very simple and childlike way ("We look for things. Things that make us go. Can you make us go?" "We are smart, we are strong!!"). This can fool a Good Samaritan into thinking the Pakleds are harmless and helpless; the Pakleds wait until their benefactors' guard is down, then use a show of force to take what they need."


Perhaps the play style for us Pakled players?

[Nubadak]

Thats funny.

[Nubadak]

Oh I found another funny Star Trek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJQvswrSPg

[Father_Origin]

lol funny video I remember that race. But what special ability would the pakleds have.

-5 engineering
+5 vs fear ..too dim to fear most things
-10 intel
+15 trade ..a general lack of honor and morals make the trade career easier to excel at

if you can't get it anywhere else, you can buy it from a pakled...which should cause you
to rethink your reasons for buying it in the first place.

...my best guess

[Nyanya]

Here's the real question: are Pakleds good enough for the Borg to assimilate? If you answered no, then they are not worthy of being in the game :D:D:D
Pakleds are what the Borg were before they were the Borg. After all, Pakleds get all of their technology by taking it from other races too, and the individuals tend not to think much. But in large numbers they can be dangerous. Just think Pakleds who evolved a couple of million years doing what they do. ;)

Besides, Pakleds can be quite useful. They're the ones that brought us Simple Wikipedia (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) after all (or at least someone copied their speech pattern).

Seriously though, depending on whether Cryptic includes the parts it should be possible to make Pakled avatars; forehead ridges, some more around the eyes, and the ability to make your avatar heavy-set should be pretty much enough. Wouldn't mind seeing them.

[Commodore_Rook]

Retards in space!!!!! :D

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I'v discovered the Pakled Empires theme song!

Pakled for life

"Make us smart"

That was silly dude.

This is the real Pakled theme song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_oBjinZQ7k&feature=related

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

Haha Pakled theme songs..lol

Lord Odin up there made a good post as to Pakled stats that might be viable.
What weapon types do Pakled ships have?

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

OMG-ness look what I just found!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbOC0uoKYtU


enjoy!

wait this ones better!

lol

[Nubadak]

not really, they're way less hyper than Deedee, more like bill murray's character in caddyshack.

I'd say that's accurate.

[Arsinoe]

Who does not like Pakleds, "things to make us go" :D

[jhem99]

Pakleds are target practice for Klingons, I believe.:confused:

[Nubadak]

Well that would be a contribution a Pakled can do easily.


-Mondor A-

[WinterPark1701]

Well I wanted to play a packled for the Klingon faction...seems only right the klinks would be the ones to absorb them....

Do you also want to ride the short bus to school and eat glue sticks? They're the gungans of Star Trek. I'm sure if you're really bent on playing them you could build one using character creator and customize your ship to look like it's been sitting in front of a double wide tralior in Alabama.

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I wana make a fat bar stool paled. Really looking for things..remember that pakled at quarks? and the brave one who crossed fed lines to help the cardasians during the dominion war?

Honourable heros both of them.

Masters of Pakled craft.

Heres a Joke!

"I am Pentium of Borg. Arithmetic is irrelevant. Division is futile. You WILL be approximated."

PAKLED EMPIRE

[Nubadak]

The best thing about being a Pakled would simply be when we get to phaser Geordie laforge. Then help the Cardasians of course.

[Piotrek]

I would be surprised if their home world was already not laid to waste by the klingons and their whole race destroyed cause of stupidity.

[ronaldheld]

Why even consider it?

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

I would be surprised if their home world was already not laid to waste by the klingons and their whole race destroyed cause of stupidity.

I think they would survive, after all if they managed to find lore and put him back together, maybe lore owes them a favor. Come back with that huge odd borge ship.

And yes phasering Geordi would be a blast.

PAKLED EMPIRE

[Equilibrius]

A sublime idea! Go Pakleds! :D

[WinterPark1701]

Well I wanted to play a packled for the Klingon faction...seems only right the klinks would be the ones to absorb them....

Why would you want to be packleds?

[Equilibrius]

Why would you want to be packleds?
Why not? Everytime the same thing is boring. Go Pakleds! :D

[Cpt.Power]

argh packleds... I want the dominion!

[Nubadak]

Why would you want to be packleds?

Well someone said eariler said (I tnk lord Orin) "if you cant find what you need anywere else, you get it from a packled!"

Their quiet possibily shaddy yet cute/ funny nature makes them perfect for a player to have fun smugeling and trading.....and a little fighting!

-Make us go-

[adamflux]

I want there to be lots of Pakleds- on the opposing faction.

[thawn4444]

The crew of the illustious USS Pants-On-head is comprised of 20% Pakled.


Since thier induction My ship has increased "finding things" and "Go" by 20%


I believe Starfleet would benefit greatly if all vessels had at least one Pakled!

[ETSstarfleetromulan]

Slow and deceiving creatures that are on a road-map to extinction.

[Sunborn]

They fly around in space, operating complicated star ships, hatching schemes to capture lead engineers of Star Fleet. Really not that dumb to be doing that. The lack of a persons ability to communicate is not synonymous with a lack of intelligence.

[Corvak]

Every ship needs one pakled. Same reason every evil genius needs a five year old testing his defenses. They find the painfully obvious weaknesses that Academy graduates miss :)

[Frightfall]

More than a little it bothered me that the Pakleds resembled someone with Down's Syndrome.

[Whoppin]

I'd rather play as jar jar binks

[Sublime]

More than a little it bothered me that the Pakleds resembled someone with Down's Syndrome.

I think a lot of it just had to deal with "oooooo shiny!!!" Having ADD isn't the same as being intelligent. I know from first-hand experience........what were we talking about again?

[jhem99]

No way. Gameplay would be too sloooooooow!!

[TimothyTwoThumbs]

Pakled theme music for my ship the "Gondor -A-"

"Why do we always set to port?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ5Tp97UgyQ

[Nubadak]

I hereby put forward an mutual accord between the Cardasian players and all of us in the Pakled Empire. We want to look for things in cardasian space and you can Go through our space.

ps..we don't have computer things so there is no website..yet. We are looking for starfleet engineers to solve this problem.

"We are strong."

Why DO we always set to port?

[Pakled_Prime]

Pakleds should be put in to this game :-P after all space is big and we look for things. Things to make us go!

[thomasjohnson]

I agree that we need Pakled body parts added to the char. creator.

[thomasjohnson]

Pakled fans dont let your dreams of fat stupid captains slip through your fingers.

[ObsidianOrder]

Remember Pakled rules:-

1./ We look for things, things that make us go, things that make us stronger.
2./ Starfleet engineers are like pokemon to pakleds, got to catch them all.
3/ We're smart. We look for things.
4./ Teeth are for chewing.
5./ We want to be nothing, but persistant.
6./ We are far from home, we look for things to make us go.
7./ We want what we want.
8./ Things that make us go is our precious and we wants it.
9./ Prune juice will make you go, ask Worf its a warriors drink.
10./ Even Pakleds are not stupid enough, to have Wesley on their ship.

I would like to see the Breen as a playable race, along with the Cardassians, Romulans and Dominion.

[MGoblin256]

Well, it would seem that Pakleds are finally getting added as a playable species: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJiywXOdPTw

They could be fatter though...
