Well I've played the new mission and enjoyed it, the Admiral seemes a bit... wooden, but, she is a Vulcan after all  :P

Although it's inconsistent, I LOVE the Delta Class. I also have some ideas on the Shuttle topic; shuttle costumes?

Type 8 Alternate Skins:     Type 6            Type 7                TOS Shuttle.

Danube Alternate Skins:    Type 9            TMP Shuttle         'Generations' Shuttle (TMP/Type 6 hybrid)

Delta  Class Alt Skins:       Type 10           Type 11              Nova Waverider     

Capt'n Yacht Alt Skins:     Other Yachts    Aeroshuttle          Endgame Shuttle



Thoughts?

They were talking about having a Shuttle tier system similar to ships.

I know, and I arranged my ideas by tier, From 'worst' to 'best' going down.

Today's weekly episode was awesome, and it had a great piece of Music from TOS in it.

Not at all spoilery :P


Great episode indeed. Best i've seen so far in the game. Let's hope future episodes follow suit.

Is this the first Trek game to use actual licenced trek music? I know the SNES Era (and dos games) and earlier used it, but that was Synthetic, I mean the actual music like this.

I don't remember any other games using the actual music from the Series/Movies. Heck Elite Force had the Voyager opening ripped right from the show (At least I think it did, it has been a while since I played single player) but they used their own music over top.

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

There will be. It's still unclear as to how, though - I've heard it'll be a retrofit (like the saucer-sepping Galaxy), or a console (which would only work on the Advanced Escort, so seems sort of...I dunno, stupid?)...

It was just going to be a console (so far it is right now on tribble) but now it is going to be a whole new ship and a console bundled so they can justify the C-Store Cost/Emblem Cost.

Wonder if the console sort of defeats the purpose, though, as the Prommie and its variants are the only thing it'd work on (I'd think, anyway)...

Agreed. They should just roll the MVAM feature into the base ship at Vice Admiral, and remove one of the console slots in the process. Can't recall offhand what the default console layout is, but I would easily give up a science slot, to get MVAM functionality.

Neither of the previous "refits" required an additional console. They were all set up with the powers rolled into the ship itself (minus 1 console slot).

Its going to be a whole new ship, (different officer layouts) with the console pre-equipped, that you can take off and put on your old Prommie if you don't like the new officer layout.

basically that is what they're doing here with the Console.

If anyone has played the final episode of the "Cloaked Intentions" series; tell me what you think!

I wish the orbital strike skill was the same as what you call in during the mission! But overall, I'd say the last 2 episodes were the best missions in the whole of STO.

*sighs* alas I am jealous of all of you who have dual cores and quad cores to play this game...I bought it not too long ago and can't wait to get my hands on a new PC for this baby.

I may or may not have caved and got ahold of STO yesterday. (Yeah yeah, I know.) Anyway, I could possibly use a hand getting familiar with it, so if anyone wants to hang out sometime or whatever that'd be awesome.

When I played the trial a long while ago, though, I could swear the main hub was... Different. Wasn't there a huge shipyard around it?

They just replaced that SB a few weeks ago.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.
