Planets in STO, being like.... 100 km in diameter... makes an AU much smaller.

Man has a point. I don't care how big your starship is, Earth and the Moon are NOT that teeny. *chuckles*

I was more referring to having objectives and events stationed in all three dimensions, rather than a flat plane inside a spherical area.  Though there is that game design rule about how impossible it is to get a player to look up.
Thanks for letting me know the forum was back up, guys.  I thought everyone died.

I see your point.

Actually, I've been playing portal 2 lately and I've been having a blast!

Now if only "vampire the masquerade: bloodlines" had a texture overhaul....

I didn't say I didn't like 'em. I also enjoy Portal 2 - and I have my brother to thank for getting me a copy, heh. Just saying, there's a lot of looking - and usually the best place to look for some stuff is up, lol.

New Romulan C-Store ship coming, possibly a 3-Pack. Hope it comes with Quad Plasma Cannons.

agreed thats the first st:o ship design i have really liked (like to see it in bc lol) now all they need to do is have a temporal even and have all the other starfleet ships suddenly redesigned with cool instead of poo lol

The roms got temporals ships a few weeks back...

I rather like this design.  I can't stand the windows (too damn big imo..) and I'd change the hull material, but it's still rather nice looking.
I wonder what the stats will be like.

Someone linked these in chat, you can test the ship on tribble by grabbing at Drozana Station. There is an admiral and commander version, with different costumes, the one in the screen I posted above is the commander variant.

The Quad Cannons are an exact replica of the Phaser Quad Cannons, and Disruptor Quad Cannons. Just that they are now Plasma-themed.

Not surprising at all, why would they make them different? But I use all Plasma on my Reman, that is why I wanted them.

Just did a mission in the admiral version. I like. The quads sound like high pitched plasma cannons.

lol i meant basically have an event in the st:o story that takes all the ships that look rubbish and make them look good instead lol

That's a good looking ship.  Like a D'Deridex of 2409.  How big is she?
