Anyone doing this cool-looking ship from the ST:Online trailer?

[Gareth]

I really... REALLY like the look of the saucer section of this ship!

[FourChan]

I hope someone does that ship, cause it's unique and oddly sexy at the same time.

Well truth is, I hope someone does all the ships from it soon as it's released

[Centurus]

*shudders*  No need for the enemy to shoot at the ship.  It's already got holes.

= less casualties ;) [although... does BC count 'holes' AS 'gaps' in the ship? - ie. if a phaser fired through it, will the ship be "damaged" or travel straight through? But of course if this wasn't BC we're talking about, but if it was the show itself...]

[FourChan]

I think it matters how it's modelled.

[Kirk]

That is a very ugly design.

the first developer that was working on ST:O bit to far and got themselves into some copyright trouble (AFAIK), so i can understand why Cryptic is making sure not to make that same mistake by creating more "unique and out-there" designs. thumbs up for the creativity

eh I don't remember that ever happening... THEY HAD many of the designers of the trek ships on their team....

[ACES_HIGH]

yeah they had the full backing of CBS Paramount, what I had heard was they had a disagreement over the release date.  it had nothing to do with a copyright

No. A ship has already been made that has holes in the saucer, thoug i don't remember the name... It's there.

this thing exists for bc?

[Dalek]

No, ST: Online.

Certainly a more sensible thread for a first time thread poster if you don't mind me saying.

[anazonda]

But a ship with holes in the saucer section also exists for BC.. and when i tried it you could fire throug the "holes" without damageing the ship:

While interesting, the design seems illogical to me. You do'nt see planes with holes in them, lol.

[Nebula]

well I tried doing this ship and it blew up in my face.

Well, planes in an atmosphere needs to have a certain shape to be aerodynamic.
Spaceships don't need that. They can be all kinds of wacky shapes, like a cube or sphere.

[FourChan]

Federation Ships are Aerodynamic incase they have to enter the planets atmosphere in case of a Emergency for landing, etc etc.

My mistake. Perpetual DID encounter legal trouble, but it was in no way related to ST:O. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Online#Previous_development_version
