Star Trek Online thread

what do ya mean "Why is it over there?"

[Barihawk]

I have to admit, that 'Excalibur class' doesn't look half bad. Peronally, I wouldn't have used nacelles from a Nova class but then again, I have no say what goes into this game.

The beauty of it is that you can probably put the nacelles from a Nova class on there yourself.

I said 'wouldn't', not 'would'.

In that case, give it nacelles from any other ship than the Nova class. The point still stands.

It's over there cos it counts as Trek and that is the "Trek Discussion" thread. Not the BC Discussion thread.

[Villain]

It's way better than the shitpile Perpetual made, at least. It's a pretty solid design IMO.

[Dalek]

Mmm. not really my cup of cake. Looks too mishapen in my view.

[Villain]

Shame none of it will be canon. :lol:

[Dalek]

Yeah, shame. Although, I am glad it still is the Prime-line. The JJ-line would require a lot of thought.

[FarShot]

I'm glad they did the comic rather than incorporating it into canon.  Here are my reasons:

1.  New people that thought old Trek was too geeky don't have to be exposed to the old Trek to get the JJ Trek.

2.  New people that want to learn about the old Trek can use the comic book medium to get attached.

3.  Trekkies that want to make and keep the connection can read the comic and get their geek drive appeased.

4.  Trekkies that absolutely hate the JJ Trek can disregard the Prime universe tie-in because the comic isn't "canon".

Ah well, i stop posting here for a while again, since I keep screwing such a simple thing up...this is the second time in a row..

But im still wanting this game...

ATARI is involved with Cryptic now so ATARI released a possible release date of March 2010...hinting that ATARI might try to rush them to finish it...(hopefully that tidbit of info wasnt mentioned already...dont have time atm to search..)

dont worry about misplacing a thread if youre unsure about where it should go, thats why we're here to move threads if they are better off elsewhere

The sheer amount of ignorance towards the ship customization abilities of this game is starting to get annoying.

These are only default configurations. If you do not like them, you can do essentially anything to balance them out, switch out parts, etc. Unless someone is just hardcore nuts about canonocity, you are never going to see a normal looking ship ingame. Hopefully whoever you run into has some sense of style. At the very least, you can make your ship look exactly how you want it.

*sighs* We get it.  But guess what?  We're fans.  We bash.  It's what we do.  We mean no harm (usually).  It's for fun.

And quite frankly, I think the instant some of us get our mitts on it, I think we're going to be hot rodding our ships into what we think looks cool.  But until then, we sit, and we invoke the Fan's Right to Riff.  Don't take it too seriously.

eh tells the truth and doesn't afraid of anything.

guys please stay ontopic and please stop bickering at each other...

[Dalek]

Did I say something wrong?

I likies the idea to customise. *swaps Nova nacelles on Excalibur for TMP ones* Much better.

[NeoSilverThorn]

guys please stay ontopic and please stop bickering at each other...

Many apologies, fearless leader.  Meant no harm.

....Personally, I'm wondering if you'll be able to dig up a Constitution-class.  Yeah, underarmed but still....that'd be cool.

Seriously though, it depends on the options.  If some combination really looks cool to me, I'll go with it!

Said it before and I'll say it again, if stats are related to parts (Which we still don't actually know) it will define how your ship looks. If they aren't related to your parts in any way expect to see some real creativity. ;)

In the interview about ship customization, the project manager said that stats are not related . All stat or gameplay altering upgrades are internal to the ship, and a different system from visual customization! Yay!
