Nimoy himself lamented in his autobiography I Am Spock (1995) that “the more Spock utilized the mind meld, the less dangerous it seemed to become” (p. (Intriguingly, Spock also told McCoy he had “never used on a human.” Did Strange New Worlds pull off a mind meld retcon? Or did Spock, who we know to be a master secret-keeper, keep his meld with La’an-who is still human, albeit genetically augmented-confidential? I’d like to believe the latter.) Van Gelder, with whom he melds, “It could be dangerous.” And in that episode, too, Spock pushes back: “It’s a hidden, personal thing to the Vulcan people,” Spock tells McCoy, “part of our private lives.” He also warns Dr. McCoy-is gently but firmly pressuring Spock to perform the meld in a moment of extreme need. In that episode, too, another character-in this case, Dr. The episode handles the meld almost as delicately as did “Dagger of the Mind” 56 years ago when it introduced the Vulcan joining of minds into Star Trek mythos. Resurfacing hidden memories can be painful, even dangerous.” And Spock cautions La’an, “The mind meld is not a shortcut for dealing with mental trauma. La’an tells Spock,”I’ve heard what Vulcans can do,” implying the mind meld is only hearsay or rumor, perhaps even legend, among non-Vulcans. To the credit of “Memento Mori,” it does not treat the mind meld casually. In its fourth episode, “Memento Mori,” La’an Noonien-Singh asks Spock to help her recover long-suppressed memories of her devastating childhood encounter with the Gorn. It didn’t take Star Trek: Strange New Worlds long to work in the Vulcan mind meld as a plot device. I would make sure to complete this event because if it does get fixed range wise it should be a very good weapon and it looks gorgeous.Mind meld dignity could be restored in Strange New Worlds. If this gun gets buffed to proper range and it's damage looked at which it's already confirmed Cryptic is looking into that, it could be incredibly good as it's primary hits 2 targets and the sweep does very good damage but is very situational. If you don't have it, hope it comes to the phoenix box again. For fun though I do recommend the ferengi energy whip if you have lobi to waste as it's just hilarious to use. The DSC rifle, hurq resonator, and a couple others are OKAY but they are not top tier and are easily outclassed by other weapons. IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, I would not recommend any other lobi weapons unless they are on sale. Looks more Stargate than Star Trek but for tough ground content it is incredible. Still god tier and unlikely it'll ever change. Mostly go for looks and whatever fits your build.īoolean, it is really good, but fires incredibly slow and in my personal opinion is not as 'required' as it once was considered to be.Īdvanced Herald Antiproton Beam Projector. Lots of other good lockbox weapons as well at split beam and others. More excellent space barbie and good proc. Excellent space barbie and damn good damage. the go to borg killer if you don't have the thompson and still a great gun.Īssault Phaser Wide Beam pistol.

Standard phasers but great weapons based on looks alone. Visually they have some of the best models in the game. Still disgustingly overpowered.ĭiscovery phasers. Excellent space barbie.Ĭhroniton Split Beam Rifle. Some of the best best ground weapons just sorted by acquisition method:ĭyson Experimental Proton Beam Rifle, split beam can hit 5 targets with 6 sec recharge.Ĭorfeld Mining Plasma Cutter (poor man's boolean) My personal go to weapons are the Dyson Proton Beam, Corfeld, Thompson, lobi herald staff though Ihave the rest of these in my inventory or boffs for situational reasons or for space barbie.
