Yeah I noticed it but oh well, it looks better from this angle than the mirrored angle.

Nebula · « **Reply #361 on:** May 13, 2009, 06:24:27 PM »

uh if you look at the registry neither are mirrored and if you click on mine you get a larger cleaner version of the ship than your pic allows.

Correction, double fail lol. I got you both beat by weeks. http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,5546.0.html

These are the guys who made city of Heroes, in which appearance was massively customisable.

I really think we're going to be given a stock ship that we know and love and then be allowed to run wild with refits...

not all of these ships are bad. The very top of the first post is a great ship. There mirandas are ok except really the nacelles on all 3. The one is too tmp, the others are ugly, but the rest of the ship is good.

Actually, since the front of the Raptor was hardly seen in Enterprise, the picture of the model that Dale linked to looks suspiciously like LC's Raptor model from bcfiles.com http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Klingon_Raptor;40509
Plagiarism much, lol?

Actually, there is a shot in Enterprise that shows the front very well.

Nebula · « **Reply #366 on:** May 13, 2009, 10:39:56 PM »

yeah shouldn't that be brought up in another thread??? just saying....

anyway STO has released new pics of Romulan ships.

FourChan · « **Reply #367 on:** May 13, 2009, 10:41:10 PM »

Just say this, there's tons of starships out that would work better with BC than STO lol, some would look good with a slightly new paint job as well

Timeline Fail.

Nebula · « **Reply #369 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:00:49 PM »

they did the same with a Kling ship.... so at one point we may be in the past or those are trainer ships.

This explains the Klingon ship.

They have nothing on the Romulan ship yet.

QFT. I'm almost certain that most of the ships we've seen so far, are the customized versions of different known ships. Such as the Sovereign-with-rollbar. The Sovereign we know and love is still in the game, if players want to run with the stock designs. Or they can customize it to their hearts content.

EDIT: Someone said something about the Warbird?

lint · « **Reply #372 on:** May 15, 2009, 06:38:45 AM »

that Warbird really doesn't look right, :lol:

Dalek · « **Reply #373 on:** May 15, 2009, 12:28:00 PM »

The nacelles. The glowey green bit goes around the front of the nacelle but in TNG, it just stayed on the side.

Something I don't get: We've seen Fed ships being customisable in loads of ways. Yet the Klingon ships don't appear to be superiorily customisable.

Nebula · « **Reply #374 on:** May 15, 2009, 01:45:19 PM »

I think they are working on the feds first then the other races.

It's power tweaking is immense too. I still play. :lol:

I don't recall who is leading the project, but if it's "Statesman" then I'd not have too high hopes after what he did to CoH.

If it's CoH-style and customization is purely cosmetic, then I don't see a MASSIVE problem, but if it's otherwise.. Eep.

Oh my God.

This looks like a game designed by people who know nothing about what makes Star Trek feel like Star Trek. Most of the screenshots look like something out of Homeworld 2. Here's a couple good examples:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/12/?full_size=1
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/30/?full_size=1

And check this one out--suddenly, we're playing Oblivion:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/25/?full_size=1

Oops! My mistake. It's not Oblivion, it's World of Warcraft:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/36/?full_size=1

No, wait. Wrong again. We've traveled back in time. Specifically, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/15/?full_size=1
Does that look like a young Coruscant to anyone else?

Out of those images, here's one of the only space shots that looked and felt like Star Trek:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/34/?full_size=1
That I can see being in the Star Trek universe. Just barely, but it's plausible.

On the plus side:
http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/startrekonline/images/6209583/56/?tag=thumbs_below;thumb;1
The interior shots of the Galaxy Class corridor and briefing room look wonderful, but the ridiculously gussied-up uniform of the female officer in the latter really hurts the atmosphere.

Don't get me wrong; those other shots good pretty good. They just don't look at all like Star Trek.

Nebula · « **Reply #377 on:** May 15, 2009, 10:48:30 PM »

umm Phaser that last link shows pics from PE's ST:O that no longer exists... and those were just test shots, not part of the game.

ST:O's new developers are still adding to and fixing the gfx of the game.

btw this thread is supposed to be about the ships of ST:O not the planets...

xD I dunno, that looks more like Morrowind with graphical upgrades.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #379 on:** May 16, 2009, 07:56:28 AM »

Phaser, they are called alien Planets. Are you saying there is no planets out there with Giant mushroom like trees? Or societies that have wooden buildings? What did you expect the planets to look like.

Though, I have to agree with the shot with the Planet with the Miranda, the way the lights are set up reminds me of Corosaunt.
