Hi tom.
In voyager I didn't mean the borg specifically causing less creative plots
throughout the final few series, ----- indeed like yourself I enjoyd the
majority of the Borg episodes.
Even in none borg stories, most problems the crew encountered seemed to be
solved by doing things to 7's nanoprobes in one way or another, whether that
was to scan for something invisible, or deliver some destructive weaponry.
I sort of got the impression that nanoprobes were what the writers did when
they couldn't actually resolve a plot, and unfortunately in seasons 4-6 this
happened again and again which rather disappointed me.
ironically it didn't seem voyager changed plots until it got to season 7.
I'm not sure about a voyager game, sinse i'm not sure how much is known
about some of the main enemies in that series such as species 8472, besides
if you were working on such a game, having plots limited only by what voice
clips you could get might mean having less creative missions.
If you were making a startrek game I actually think it should be about
another federation vessel that we've not seen before with it's own crew.
That way you could get voice actors to do the main parts (I'd be glad to do
something like that myself), and write whatever script and encounters you
lik, rather than having it dictated by your voice clips.
You could also include whatever races and characters in the crew would be
best for the game that way too. For instance, the combat marine character
might be a Klingon (others must've followed warf's example especially with
the good relations betwene the Federation and the empire and the dominian
war), while your tactical officer might be a Vulcan.
Heck, maybe your first officer could even be a firengi, and have extremely
good negotiation skills (not to mention getting good prices for goods around
the galaxy), ----- afterall Naag joined starfleet so why not others?
I'd also be interested to see what sort of plots you could come up with
given a free field, sinse someone who knows startrek cannon as well as you
do could probably make some very interesting missions and decisions based
after the end of current trek.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
