Right, who put the Defiant in the taffy puller?

It's not that bad. Although I'd much rather call ti the USS Fish or something fishy. :P

I agree about the top view.

There's somethng I just don't like about non-parallel nacelles... The Defiant is close enough to be OK for me; but this is just... 'WTF' inducing to me.

I hope I can customize it to look like, well, what I'd expect such a ship to look like.

The October 09 issue (September) of PC Gamer has an aritcle on Star Trek Online, makes me want to play it even more. Though, I seen a Scimitar Class ship in one of the screenshots. Obviously I won't scan the pages, that would be illegal. But I'll try and remember to write up a summer tomorrow.

One thing I found cool though was you can detonate Torpedos like mines. It mentions in the article that the person launched a volley of torpedoes into the a group be B'rel class ships and detonated them for a Area of effect damage.

The mission they played they had to rescue Lt. Miral Paris from the Klingons, something about her 1/4 Klingon DNA helping to cute some century old virus. Full review coming tomorrow.

I'm of the opinion that my Valiant Class (while still a knockoff of the Defiant, admittedly) is way nicer than that thing.

http://trekmovie.com/2009/08/19/new-star-trek-online-footage-shown-at-gamescom/

Gameplay footage on both space and ground. Looks fairly good, although the combat in space reminds me of Legacy and early EVE Online (with manual controls, however).
