I have enjoyed the characters that they have brought back, but have to say that this is one of the best yet. Woot! Can't wait to see the starship that he's commanding.

I wonder how many devs lost their jobs so we could hear Paris talk. Granted Voyager voice actors are probably cheap, but still it makes me wonder.

I don't think any of them lost their job due to getting voice actors for the game. In the long run, I can only see them attracting more players because of it.

I'd agree with you Maz.

There's probably a separate production and staffing budget, to prevent one area from taking away from another. That said, if all these voice actors cost someone's job, it would indeed be sad.

I completely agree.

I think at the end of the day there's a fair balance. The F2P model is a vastly different beast than the Sub model and with a game like STO, it's not only about getting people to play your game, but to also have them spend money on "bells and whistles". And to expand on my comment, I the addition of voice acting to the game has only enriched the experience ten folds and made new players poor into the game to experience it. Honestly, I would say a dev's job is more set to the amount of money players spend in the game for these bells and whistles rather than the voice acting.

We love our veteran Star Trek actor alumni and I think it just excites that passion every time they bring someone new to the game... and seeing the way they are going about it... I would't be surprised to see other old Voyager faces returning as well. Personally, I loved Tom Paris and Harry Kim because of their character contrast with each other and their growth as characters from season one to the last episode and more specifically the redemption story of Tom Paris.

Don't forget that his appearance fees were probably approved and paid long before any of the layoffs occurred. Most ADR is recorded months (if not years) in advance of release.

Has no one pointed out that he looks terrible worst artwork so far :emoticon_ShiftyEyes

I don't think that's entirely fair: Dude does look like he has the face of a man who raised a quarter Klingon daughter while being married to a half klingon.

Sunken cheeks... receding hairline... bags under his eyes due to lack of sleep for the past thirty years... borderline malnourished due to extreme stress...

As much as I'm happy to see more Trek Alumni contributing to STO.

I won't rest until we hear Jonathan Frakes. I would like to see more of the TNG or DS9 crew contributing to the game. But with the Iconian Storyline coming up I doubt my wish will come to fruition.
