yes it is a very good looking game, and consoles have been announced, X360 and possibly PS3
now from what I've seen, there will be no modding allowed for the game. Shame they won't have the century class ship, raptor class(fed), outrider, ambassador, Incom, the real Excalibur, excelsior, valiant(notice all of the dj ships), Eclipse, MVAM Galaxy, and a normal Norway.

Simples. Make one.

uh no MMO would ever allow modding... and what do you mean by normal Norway??

Dalek · « **Reply #903 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:46:13 PM »

Has everyone suddenly forgotten the customise-your-ship part?

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #904 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:46:32 PM »

that is the in game Norway

Nebula · « **Reply #905 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:03:09 PM »

uh no that's the Norway refit... one of the modifications you can make.... I'm sure they have the basic Norway in the game as well.

FYI, if you take time to customize you can indeed have an Ambassador, Norway, Excelsior, (and likely the Valiant). And the game DOES have MVAM Galaxy at least, although if the Prometheus can do it is yet to be seen in video footage.

There. If you watch carefully you can see a saucer and a stardrive of a Galaxy.

Argh...I am going to hold out for the boxed collector's set merely for the fact that I want FC uniforms. However, that defense battery sounds awesome!

Daystar70 · « **Reply #914 on:** December 14, 2009, 01:02:30 PM »

Am i the only one left confused by the STO color uniform system? i've seen Gold shirt captains (i am guessing it is because the way a jr officer may have to take command doesnt mean they change shirt colors until they are officially Fleet field Promoted to captain).What i think would be cool, is if it turned out in 2409 starfleet has retroed back to Gold=command red=security engineering etc. Or maybe it is that ebcause its a game, and uniforms are very customisable, it's a moot point.

Not confusing at all really...

Since you have 3 types of characters:

Tactical (Red)
Engineering (Gold)
Science (Blue)

And every player is a "Captain", you'll see both Blue and Gold colored Captains and even Admirals in STO. Canonically, we've seen Admirals in Gold uniforms (atleast one during DS9).

Also, each of these 3 types of characters can branch out into other positions. I don't recall exactly which ones, but i'm sure alot of that will be revealed leading upto, and including the open beta during January 2010.

It appears that STEAM will have the Digital Deluxe Edition also and they added something else: Chromodynamic Armor

Well i know that the Tutorial explains how you, an ensign, take command of a starship during the return of the Borg (that is leaked info from a ton of online sources) I will have the option to wear TOS uniforms if i pre order from D2D (which i did ). I know what your saying Thunder but when a Captain is offficially commisioned as the CO of a starship he changes his shirt (such as Worf as xo in alternate quantum realities in "parrelels", or Data in "future imperfect").

Darkthunder · « **Reply #918 on:** December 14, 2009, 01:57:34 PM »

If what your saying is true (when a Captain is officially commissioned as the CO of a starship he changes his shirt)...

Why did the Admiral at Starfleet Intelligence have a gold uniform, and not a customary red uniform which is common for the Admiralty?

Daystar70 · « **Reply #919 on:** December 14, 2009, 02:43:47 PM »

the usual answer- paramount ran out of costume budget
