# 1 Tholian Bridge
07-24-2012, 02:34 PM
Can we be able to walk on the other walls of this bridge since every wall is either a work area or door? Also, the Bridge Officers should be working on the other walls of this bridge instead of just having 2 on the "floor".

Or can Tholians walk on walls since they are crystalline spiders and we don't have the proper gravity generator technology to make full use of this bridge?

In Game Answer: Tholians can walk on their own walls, you don't have the foot grip to do so.

Real Life Answer: We don't have the tech to allow you to walk on other surfaces, or change gravity in that way. Kahless knows I want that power, but it's not in the cards for now. It is feasible we could position your BrOs on other floors by making custom animations for them, that turns them upside down and positions them there, but we didn't have near the time to do that, and even if we had, it would have just made it that much more frustrating that you the player couldn't get up there.

Sorry :/

Technically that shouldn't be a problem for non Tholians in-universe anyway. Gravity generators would be inside the walls just like they're under the floor, so any wall can be the floor.

I also have a question relating to the tholian bridge,will usable interiors be made of anything other than the bridge?it would be cool to go exploring the ship in an EV suit(thats if the enviro settings are as i think they are)

So what you're saying is that 2500(Minus bridge crew) Crewmen and -women are on the ship working, NONE STOP, in EV suits? :p I'm pretty sure it must be Roleplay style Retrofitted to make humanoids breathe and thrive in it, otherwise I doubt it'd be suitable for combat if everyone had to wear big bulky EV suits all the time.

Luls aside: I do agree, I spent A LONG TIME after I finally got my Sci officer to level 50 and ran around the bridge, trying to figure out how to either 1) Open the doors on the side and 2) Find out what those popup consoles at the walls did 3) How to get up to the other consoles! I expected an 800 Lobi crystal or 125 Zen a key with an already low chance to be obtained, ship to have MORE than just a bridge with fancy 1980s pop up car headlight consoles <_< Seriously.

Heck, if they can stick to walls, they really don't need gravity at all.

True, but beings that evolve in gravity kind of need it. Humans waste away as their bones lose calcium and their muscles atrophy, for example. If Tholians evolved on a planet that had gravity, they'd probably suffer some nasty effects over time in a Zero-G environment.

Thanks for the answer. I thought this might be the case. Would be real cool and could make for a fun mission and PvP map.

So how about a Atrox Bridge now?
You guys kinda *forgot about* (don't want to say *screwed us on*) that one.

There is something even more frustrating, we can guess 'hidden' corridors on the minimap, and when you get close to the doors, the the color of the lights changes. This is weird, it looks like we should have had more interior space but that it remained unfinished.
