The console and abilities sound kind of cool, but OMG the ship looks horrible! The original Dauntless was designed by Rick Sternbach to have a look that conveyed that it was designed for speed, and also appear like a plausible future development of Starfleet technology. This new ship looks more like a cartoony parody of…

Back to the original subject, what the video is describing is Aluminum oxynitride or "ALON". It's technically not transparent metal, as it is a ceramic material. A metal in the conventional sense is shiny but opaque in most cases (unless it is REALLY thin like gold leaf or some other unusual situations) because the free…

After patching the game today, an error window pops up. It is titled "Unsupported DirectX Version" and says "Support for the Video Card you are using has ended. You will be unable to play using this Video Card. Please upgrade your Video Card to one that supports DirectX Hardware Feature Level 10 or higher; See your Video…

Actually the specific term for the Navy enlisted rating for the security/law enforcement specialization is "Master-at-Arms" (MA). The term "Naval Security Forces" refers more broadly to the group of personnel including MAs, security officers, DoD police, contract security, and other personnel with the required training,…

US Navy, early 2001 to present.

Even The Orville made a tardigrade reference in their first episode, which premiered around the same time as (maybe some days before) Discovery started airing.

I haven't read that much about this new Picard show. Can someone link to where this design comes from? Who came up with it? Thanks!

To get the Fleet Ship Module or Retrain Token, you have to activate a non-repeatable project within that Reputation. It should be near the top of the list when you click in the "Select Active Project" area of the Reputation tab of the 'U' menu.

100 AU is like spitting distance in terms of star systems, about 0.0016 LY. That's about at the termination shock of the solar wind on the leading edge, so some people would still consider that inside the system. Compare that to the ~4.2 LY to Alpha Centauri.

One thing I have found that doesn't fix the problem but at least reduces the frustration level is a skill in the Pilot Specialization. If you get to Tier 3 and purchase the "Scratch the Paint" skill, it will give you immunity to one Warp Core Breach per minute (when the specialization is selected as primary). Some times I…

Has anyone verified that the slipstream turn performance is noticeably improved by the Lead Foot trait again? I was doing some tests, and it clearly improves the slipstream speed, but the change in turn rate and turn radius seems marginal at best compared to other gear that improves the turn performance. Here is a summary…

The Eaglemoss Star Trek Starships miniatures come with stands fitted for each class, so it is probably one that happened to fit close enough to hold the model.

If that's a standard sized BNC connector on that radio or whatever, the ship in the above pictures looks about 12 inches long. I don't know what the material is for the color-printed models, but the single-color print I got was made of something really super rigid. To try to deal with the painting issues in hard-to-reach…

I think the most concise answer is, "It depends on how you define a military."

It took a little while, but I did receive the ship I ordered from GamePrint. Note: this ship wasn't one of the more complex designs out there, and since I am an experienced model builder and prefer to do my own painting, I ordered it in the primer-only format. I placed the order on May 29, production was completed on July…

Also, there are some JPEG compression artifacts on the images; is there a PNG version? Thanks!

They still have the impulse engines somehow at the back end of the ship, when you can see them pretty clearly on the exterior just inboard and aft of the blue glowing warp nacelle parts. I think a top-down (or "dorsal plan") view would make more sense for the Defiant-class (if you had to choose just one graphic), since a…
