Honestly, it's a great game, but it's a mediocre Trek game.

He expects the models to be on tribble by the end of the week.

He didn't hold back, that's for sure!

While not 100% accurate, it does look pretty good. Pity the armored version isn't permanent (activated ability iirc). CapnLogan seems to be the only modeller who actually gives a damn about making the STO ships look good.

I think it looks better streamlined then version seen in the show, the one in the show had a big bulge where the bridge would be that didn't make much sense. Also remember he has to make it so its matches when you mix and swap parts.

Anyways, i think it looks pretty good compared to actual shots of the CG model

and heres a quote of awesomeness from CapnLogan himself

Also, all of the work I do on these models are done on the clock and I do get paid while I work Sometimes I work longer days than others, but I am nonetheless compensated adequately

My highers ups are totally on my side, although I may illustrate it like it's a battle between us when essentially all it is is politics and scheduling. This morning DStahl gave me some very kind recognition at our meetings for the recent work.

so yeah, I work hard to get my bosses to let me go back and fix things, and polish stuff even when it's not official "polish time". One of the reasons I manage to get the perk of getting to do this kind of stuff is firstly because I talk to all of you on here so often, secondly I model really f*ckin fast and usually get several days ahead of my schedule, which is what I use as leverage when asking for impovements, overhauls, fixes etc.

Alright! Maybe a little TMI but it's a bit of perspective on how the politics of my department have been working lately, and most of it is thanks to you guys here on the forums.

Cheers to you all!

The shots of the more canon Intrepid and the newly modelled armour is actually calling me back to installing this game! Excellent work!

I have had a unique oppurtunity to begin to hang out w Stahl himself on the sto ventrilo, one of my current fleet (imperium)is friends w him so he introduced me and ive gained a few tidbits of insight to whats coming (Big shock coming in season 3, and lets just say the Romulan faction IS coming and VERY soon, they lied when they told people its not to throw us all off and i was not told i couldnt say aaanything so this is not some NDA violation). User generated content is coming ins eason 3 also, and theyre making it even more detailed than the city of heroes version.

so does that mean the Faction is coming before Season 3? Also I know according to the Star Trek Magazine the Iconians are playing a role in the next couple seasons.

Also, update from CapnLogan

I see Intrepid impulse engines are in canon locations...

Where were they before?

Nebula · « **Reply #1833 on:** July 22, 2010, 09:27:32 PM »

wow i never noticed

Anyways they cancelled the Character wipe so I will be able to test the models as soon as they are added.

Is it me, or can you only have ONE retrofit ship per character?

Villain · « **Reply #1836 on:** July 23, 2010, 01:44:44 PM »

"More detailed" than AE isn't saying much at all, really. Saucer sep looks alright I guess. Still got nothing on our version (Ours doesn't look like an ejector seat.

) Ablative Armor looks cool, but the transition... Just not really sold on it.

majormagna · « **Reply #1837 on:** July 23, 2010, 03:50:37 PM »

Most likely the transition will be different once the modelled armour is implemented, ATM they're just textures if I recall. (Haven't used the retrofit Intrepid)

After you use your retrofit token, use the computer to the left of the desk, it doesn't shine but you should get an option to get another token (this is a tribble only feature, I'm not sure what they are planning for live)

Do want.
