Thanks for the info, but looking at the latest Tribble patch-notes... They removed the 'retrofit token vendor'... Oh bum!
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

They added an Admirals Uniform. And Holographic Leeta at Quark's and Doranza Station, with Full voice over by Chase Masterson

They also frakked up in the new update and forgot to enable the new armour altogether, the power works, just no armour.

That video really does make the STO bridges look laughably huge.

Well, I mean... To be fair... That's because they are stupidly large. Without reason. "Camera space" is a crock, Cryptic just really like that style (Everything in CoH has the equivalent of a two-story roof or higher)

Actually there is a reason: Star Trek Online is an MMO, meaning that with God knows how many people constantly running around there needs to be a lot of room to move. It's an unfortunate necessity.

whats up with the lack of lcars on the helm and ops station when showing the bc galaxy bridge?

ya tis a shame...  if it werent like that, and the bridges and interiors were designed to be "canon" size, then i might actually gain an interest in playing STO...  being as they are, tho, cancels out that interest entirely for me...  ah well...

I forgot i turned Lcars off to help performance.

Actually the newer bridges like the 3 prometheus options are canon scaled. The galaxy bridges are old, they may update them i hear.

Actually, from what I understand, they made them bigger to try and provide enough room for on ship combat, which naturally hasn't been implemented yet.

Was looking through pics, found this in wallpapers on STO.com: http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncontent/startrek/uploads/Wallpaper-23-1680x1050.jpg

See in the bottom right?  That ship under construction would make a good Kessok design.

Some of the Galaxy pack bridgees pis from the one closest to Galaxy x one

Okay it isnt exactly canon scale i agree, the intrepid update one and this are meant tor eflect that its 30 + yrs after Nemesis so they are a "upgraded" variety of bridges. Season 2 ROCKS!

I do quite like this game but those interiors are massive and I'm not keen on the crappy LCARS textures either!

Seriously we have years old games (BC and Elite Force with RPGX mod) That can handle multiplayer with correct scaling etc no problem!

So they dropped the price of the game to 20 bucks.  Should I download it and give it a try?
