Yeah, I thought that wide beam looked familiar. lol.

For people who claim that they regularly watch (and have seen) all of Trek episodes, there's a very good reference sound for the Spinal Lance: All Good Things. Perhaps they should rewatch that for the proper audio.

What do they use currently? Isn't it the beam overload sound for phrasers?

It's a deeper pitched version it I think.

The wide-beam uses the doomsday device visuals and sounds.

Yeah the Galaxy-class "revamp" is probably one of the weakest things ever put out by Cryptic. Basically the fiddled with one console and made it a bundle. It's still an ugly slow rock.

Goodness just the neck. If they'd just make a better neck...

I do feel sad for the guys who pushed for Galaxy changes, they do deserve better.

(Yes, I'm not supporting Cryptic in this post.)

The Arboretum windows on the back end of the saucer are STILL suspiciously absent. Ofcourse, the excuse is "this is a Galaxy Class, ca 2409, bound to have some visual differences from 2375).

ShaunKL · « **Reply #4870 on:** March 05, 2014, 02:49:00 PM »

Maybe the arboretum was only a feature of the initial run of Galaxy-class ships.

Realistically it's a weakness in the texture system. I'm sure if some artists had the time to be creative they could punch up the model and her textures.

I'd like to hope that the Galaxy's revamp is separate from the ship artist's cycle(like where the Intrepid and Luna got remodeled).

Can we please get the Odyssey uniform variants now please?

I can't agree with this however, because I've never seen a post that stated anything like this.

I'd be willing to find a post or two, but it was so long ago, that it's probably burried under one of the thousands of "Archived Post" comments in the forums. You know, the result of Cryptic's botched "upgrade" of the forums a few years back.

But yes, it was stated (repeatedly) by both players and Cryptic devs alike, that any inaccuracies in the canon models, can be explained by it being built in 2409 (30 years post-Nemesis). I think CapnLogan was one of said commentators, and he was the ONLY Cryptic dev who actually worked on trying to fix some of the inaccuracies. Sadly, he left Cryptic to go work for Bungie. Since then, there has been little in the way of progress, of fixing said inaccuracies in the ships.

I vaguely remember that, though I can't remember where I saw it. It was definitely pre forum upgrade though.

Some TNG themed stuff is 20% off, INCLUDING the new bundle.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #4875 on:** March 06, 2014, 03:44:48 PM »

Well ofcourse the "new" bundle is discounted. Because it's not really that new at all. Couple of fixes to the Dreadnought, but nothing major. Still the same crappy Bridge Officer layouts on the normal and refit Galaxy classes.

Basically, the 20% discount is there to tempt players into actually buying the old edsel, thinking they're actually getting something new...

captain_obvious · « **Reply #4876 on:** March 08, 2014, 09:12:37 PM »

I'm thinking of going back to the fleet ambassador of all things.

http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?build=fleetambounfinished_0
That's the sort of layout I was thinking. An A2d build. I tried an a2d build not long ago with the tac oddy and that was rather fun. Tough as nails and it handled in a very interesting manner lol (think 1970s US police squad car going round the nurburgring and you wouldn't be too far from the truth). The ambo has better inertia than the oddy, so it might be able to take better advantage of it a2d turn rate buff.

Gearwise, I'm thinking my usual borg 2 piece, rom plas setup.

I've not played with cruisers much but what exactly would increased mobility do for(I'm guessing) a beam boat?

In other news...

I was laughing at the random Jem'hadar cruiser in the middle of them.

Anyone else really love the Mogai design?

Honestly the best things to come out of ST Nemesis were the Mogai and Scimitar.

The Scimitar ship material would look great on the Mogai. If you watch Nemisis they use the same hull patterns
