That's one of the main things that keeps me away from the game - the feeling of Trek being wrapped around the game, rather than the other way around.

Klingon Academy now works on XP/Vista/Win 7 thanks to one dude's patches, click here for details. I highly recommend it!

The TOS Bridge/Interiors are closer to scale then anything else they've made. That was what they were aiming for with this release, it was a test to see how small they could make it without screwing up the game camera.

They may go back and rework the old bridges to make them closer to scale.

Plus some TOS style stuff is coming to the foundry, so watch out for time travel missions being made.

Also speaking of foundry, they're aiming for a Monday release on the Main server.

Maybe they don't want our giants' heads scraping the ceilings, and that's why the interiors are so huge?

I'd like to point out that the Foundry is now live on Holodeck.

Has anyone heard anything about Ninth Fleet? The Dynaverse seems to have been shut down and with it our website hosting so I am having trouble getting in contact with just about everyone. Couple that with some odd fleet bank raids and quits ingame and I'm a little concerned.

EDIT: Actually, let's ask about the status of the Dynaverse. They were hosting our website and are also fritzed.

Atari is dropping Cryptic Studios.

Atari has sold Cryptic Studios to "Perfect World" for $50 million.

Although it states "Several years of losses were behind the decision to sell Cryptic Studios." This was Atari's overall losses, not losses due to Cryptic Studios.

EDIT: Derp, linky link. http://www.trektoday.com/content/2011/05/atari-sells-cryptic-studios/

The 'Runabout bridge' is actually a (vary large) Type 8 cockpit; and its not released, it's just part of a mission. (Diplomatic Orders)
