Custom Intro's!

[PicardoManeuver]

Probably never going to happen, but who else would like to see an optional choice to choose between custom intro's and the main game intro ?

Example:
You choose the TNG intro, using the in-game engine to recreate the opening sequence of TNG using Patrick Stewart's voice for the monologue.

Or even VOY, TOS, DS9, etc. in place of the main STO intro. whenever you choose?

What do you all think?

I'm not sure I understand your idea.
So you'd like to see recreations of the intro's to shows,made using in-game graphics and utilizing voice actors from the shows?

I imagine he means re-creating the intros from the series using his own ship instead of the Enterprise or Voyager - I'd agree to that, but I can't see how it could happen w/o a lotta graphics work...

Maybe we could confine own-ship portrayals to loading-screens, where a static image of your ship is doing something valiant. I'd like that.

If it were up to me my Intro would be a recording of my latest combat victory with my custom ship. Nothing like seeing yourself destroying the enemy to get you ready for another great gaming experience!

I would like to asee a Klingon intro where my Bird of Prey swoops in and kills some Romulans maybe fight some borg. Fly through some hostile defense grid. Then boom im in the game doing all that stuff.

If they are smart they will market Star Trek branded snacks! I could get some Gak on the Go while I play :D

Yes, that's it. Sorry that it wasn't clear.

This is an interesting idea. Even without the original actors' voices (i.e. Shatner for TOS or Stewart for TNG but choosing the opening sequence for the game to recreate the intro of one of the series.

The TOS intro would be mainly just space with the original Enterprise starting as a point in the distance and zooming toward the camera, the TNG would have two possibilities, as they changed the intro after season 3 or 4. The first version started with the Enterprise-D flying casually through the solar system, passing Saturn etc. DS9 also had two different intros, changing when they added the Defiant.

One issue is what about the Klingons? If we can choose our intro movie when we launch the game, the Klingons should get one.

This makes me think it could be cool to recreate a tv-show style intro sequence but update it to include some of the signature ships from the game. The Federation intro could start with some of the classic ships and gradually work toward the newer ships and the NX-91001 etc, flying passed game-rendered planets and starbases. The Klingon intro could show some classic D7's and K't'ingas flying by then the Bird of Prey and Vorcha and then move to the Negh'Var etc. Some of the passes could be quick like warp-flyby and some could be like the slow beauty-shots they used on the shows.



All the other MMOGs I've played had a static intro movie that didn't change according to your faction or character race. It would be cool if STO at least had one option for Klingon or Federation, and the idea of recreating the TNG or DS9 intro with the game's graphics engine and models is cool.
