I agree the graphics shown here look awesome, but wonder if they'll end out looking more like an improved COH or Champions Online, if Cryptic is using a modified Hero's Engine.
Some of the earlier Ingame planet graphics remind me of the graphics in the Champions Trailer.
Not sure what to add, except that I'm happy with the look of those screenshots!
The character screenshot looks really good in particular for me personally.
The models are sheer magic. If the ingame graphics look anything like it I'm more than thrilles already. The Planetside graphics of the MOnastary make me want to break in at cryptic and get my hands on an alpha copy of the game and the space pic just makes me more eager to take the hlm and warp to distant worlds.
Keep up the good work guys! The entire ST community is putting big hopes into the game!!
Nice charakters but in my opinion the hair could be improved. Looks a bit like gum yet but if it'll not be improved, I can live with the current quality.
thx, nice looking characters. The planet surface with houses looks a little bit like a elve village in my opinion. But characters and space are looking great
Very cool please post us some more planet side soon, we have all see lots of the space side of things would be good for a larger peek at some of the homeworlds... sorry feel like a kid waiting for Chirstmas!
not that I do not appreciate the images, which I do, but other than the screen shot of the characters the other two are older screenshots. I know I have seen them somewhere else before...
I was suspecting that it was a Vulcan building too, but it looks like there are Klingons standing around in the distance, so i was confused. Great looking screenshots though
Wow, maybe its just because these are close shots but these look more crisp than the trailer characters. I love that you can add scars too! That builds character. Other things I like are the customizable skin tone, eye color and pupil. I hope the character also has options of how to carry themselves after they've chosen a model. Like if someone has long hair they can wear it tied up or down; Maybe be formal one day and then look over worked the next. Maybe even change facial features. I may want to pull a Riker and grow a beard.
AWWW another re-run. I've already seen this episode. =( I wish I hadn't ran out to buy the game informer since they're going to feed us the images from it as "new material". The character creation shots are the exact models used in the game informer article.
The level of detail in the character faces is amazing. Every strand of hair, the red, bloodshot eyes, the red-to-pink scar tissue, the alien-ness of the non-pupil eyes. . .huge kudos to the designers!
Only thing the new screenies give me pause about is the scale. . .I am really worried that planetary scale isn't going to be conveyed properly.

Wrong the one in the lower right is not in the Game Informer Article.
It should be noted that the AA (Anti-Aliasing) is turned way up on those screens so your results might not be quite as nice unless you have a horse of a graphics card. But still, I'd call them a nice mix of graphically impressive but not system heavy on demands. Mass Effect's characters for example look better, but will surely not play as well on as many systems as STO is likely aiming for.
... But the ships in Mass Effect looked fricken terrible :P

Champion Online Trailer
They probably bleach their mustaches, lol
Great screenshots, gonna be a awesome game!
Will we also get full character renders in some weeks? Like we've seen close after the announcement of STO by Perpetual?
Wasn't expecting the faces to be that good.

Who would win in a fight, Worf or Chewbacca?
P.S Are those burgundy Uniforms on the top row?
