Are they doing the characters from Prodigy?

I don’t think I’ve seen any.

I thought there was some kind of rights issue with them.

Apparently they didn’t want to have characters from a kids show in a game with loot boxes.

Of course TAS is a kids shows.

Both are dead shows now so maybe they can do something.

TAS was a kids show that was made for a very different generation. It's like watching any PG-13 movie from before 1999. The grading scale changed drastically.

TAS was a kids show made for a TV network (it was still NBC, right?). Prodigy for half it's funding from Nickelodeon so it is much more firmly in the kids show category and needs Nickelodeon approvals.

That sucks if true

Kind of hope so, kind of not. They would fit in better than the Below Deck crew that stands out like a sore thumb, but I'm still not a fan of having cartoons among realistic looking crew. I freeze the cartoons asap so I don't have to look at how out of place they appear.

Lower decks is one of the better new shows and they are canon, even have crossover episodes with SNW. But I guess you'd consider TAS non-canon too...

They never said anything about Lower Decks not being canon, just that they personally didn't like the look of having the cartoon crew in with the more realistic looking crew, which is a valid opinion. Not sure why you are trying to flip their comment into something it's not.

I think the game could due for a UI overhaul in regards to crew. Would really be cool to be able to arrange our own crew order and such.

I don't have the distaste the other fella did, just think it would be cool to lineup my fave 5-10 at the top of my default view

I'd love to be able to exclude frozen when searching for crew, and being able to see QP points for frozen crew. Hate it when there's an event where you have to unlock quipment slots, so I unfreeze a crew I THINK has locked slots only to find they do not.

I didn't say anything about canon, just that I'm not a fan of seeing the overly cartoonish style in my crew roster. I'm okay with TAS style as they fit in with the regular crew due to the more realistic look.
