If you can alter the ship so much...What hideous designs will some players come up with >.<

[Rat Boy]

I'm more worried about the Create-a-Race feature.  Just look at all the genitalia-shaped critters made in Spore Creature Creator.

Can't imagine with what creatures some players come up this should be even more funny than ten necelled galaxy ;)

A next-gen Next Generation single-player RPG would have been better for the franchise than yet another MMO flooding the market.

If this is a Pay to play thing ill be very annoyed, After i buy the game i dont wanna get home and have to keep paying for it if i wanna play it.

[Voyager16]

Sigh, I believe it is.

It is most likely pay-to-play, as that is how other games from Cryptic Studios have been setup in the past. I doubt they'd change their financial ways of doing things.

another thing came to mind if its all online im sure people would love to command a starship with a registry that shows on the hull instead of having a galaxy class star ship with no registry on the hull. so im wondering if they will have enough names or registry number for star ships in the game

It be neat if they were generated in the game sooo they start off with the highest canon reg then every new player/ship that is created the number increases by 1...

then we create a fleet of canon ships and hunt down the uglies!!

To say the truth, trying to make a ST MMORPG sounds really really difficult.

From the one hand you know that everyone wants to be captain, from the other hand you want to maintain the uniqueness and bonding with, and slow combat  of Trek ships which is a bit tricky if you are going to have 13 year olds ramming around the shipyard.

From the one hand you might want to do the, search for better weapons, better armor etc thingy, from the other hand the darn Federation happens to be an economy without money. Replicator, best sword in the game please. Ta.

And of cource you want to provide an excuse for phasering every alien in sight, while at the same time having to come up with excuses on why a player shouldnt phaser every alien in sight.

and if the game gets popular then were looking at 1 starship uss something ncc 1002341 lol just my concept

In any star fleet, somebody has to be the lowly Lt. JG handing astrometrics reports to Worf every day. How can this MMO reflect that?

It doesn't. You'll get to command a ship from day 1.

What they have done to that poor sovvy  :shock: that is the worst model I have ever seen... even my brother would make it better... at least they could make something cleaner and smoother similiar to DJs Century.
First we saw the Excalibur (which looked like a dog pooping) and now we see this - the worst sovvy on steroids ever
This game will fail with such ugly ships...

The person playing it decided to customize, rather badly, the look of the ship. The standard version would look like a normal Sovereign.

For example you can see a normal Galaxy-class and a Galaxy variant to its left in this image: http://ff.247xs.nl/startrekonline/trailer15.jpg

Yeah I see now, but why they give you those ridiculous "import tuner" upgrades... would be much better if you could just add some additional torpedo launchers like they did with Sovereign in Nemesis... or some additional but fitting well impulse engines or rollbars for ships like Miranda, Nebula or Centaur... just look at the original Galaxy design and take a look on that "upgraded" Galaxy - original has smooth lines and the upgraded one has additional sections which just don't fit it cuz they're sharp more sabre/steamrunner like.
