Where can I subscribe to this paper anyway? (kidding, I know it's a kind of a hobby thing)

I actually think it's more compareable to "Jane's", but I could be mistaken ( @crypticttc ??? ) - anyway.. Thomas did an excellent job yet again and it's really fantastic to have so much background info.. -> to me these kind of things make STO so much more enjoyable!!!
Ah.. and thank you very much!!! *^_^*

Connected to the last one, here's how I think Echoes of Light should've ended
Some abbreviations for the character roles:
SA: Starfleet Admiral
XO: Executive Officer
CSO: Chief Science Officer
CTO: Chief Tactical Officer
MDRN: Madran
SA: Do we have them? CSO: Yes, sir. Their weapons are down, and we have a solid lock with the tractor beam. SA: Tactical, cease fire, and open a channel. CTO: Ferengi vessel, this is the Federation Starship U.S.S. Berion; cut engines, lower your shields and surrender the stolen equipment. MDRN: Equipment? Stolen? I-I don't know what you are talking about! SA: Enough of your games, Madran! We've been scanning K-13 since we arrived, and we know that the phaser and torpedo banks were removed by Ferengi cutting tools! You've been quietly taking this station apart! MDRN: This is not Federation space! You have no jurisdiction here! XO: As a matter of fact, DaiMon Madran, we do. MDRN: SINCE WHEN, WOOL-CAN?! XO: We have managed to bring the starbase back online. Also, since you abandoned it, K-13 is no longer contested, and is under our protection. Per Federation law, which is also recognized by the Ferengi Alliance, DaiMon, you are now trespassing in Federation space, which terminates at a radius of exactly 1 light year from Starbase K-13. MDRN: *gulp* SA: We can still keep this friendly, Madran. Just return the equipment you've stolen. MDRN: No! I found it! I claimed it, hew-mon! I claim salvage rights! I demand you disengage the tractor beam, compensate me for all the property damage you caused, and I MIGHT consider NOT filing a complaint with the Ferengi Trade Commission! They won't leave the Federation alone until Starfleet takes that ship away from you! SA: Sounds to me you refuse to recognize the gravity of your situation.
Bluffing, the admiral raises his right hand; in this context, a universal gesture, generally preceeding an attack order.
MDRN: W-w-wait... you can't be serious! SA: We could also play this the hard way, DaiMon. Commander, ready an inspection team for boarding action. Make sure that they scan for any hidden stasis pods too. XO: Aye, sir. MDRN: YOU WOULDN'T! SA: Tactical, ready weapons. I want the rest of those shields down. MDRN: *!!EEEEK!!*

"To boldly go to the stars on the wings of the faithful."
Continuing the saga of replaying the entire game (KDF Edition) with Lighting 2.0, I give you "Today is most certainly a good day to die!". At least that's what it should be called based on the number of Bridge Officer bodies laying around here...
Here's a link to a full-sized copy of that last one. I really dig the interplay of the light sources on that one. Click Me
Agreed @kelettes. I can see where they were going with the new nacelle designs, but the scale is just too big. If the new nacelles were maybe 25% smaller, they'd be a pretty cool update of the Sovereign nacelles. Maybe they'll grow on me. Some of the other STO design choices certainly have.
@kelettes / @cuchulainn74 The Archon still grows on me, too and I certainly will try out some more kitbashs/skins etc. *^_^* - it definitely has several sweet spots, that I like a lot. Ah.. and speaking of the Regent.. is it just me who is bothered that really most of the Federation Bussard Collectors (in general) are way too light/yellowish/orange??? The Regent's Bussard Collectors are among the very few which have a really nice red glowing (as it should be) and I wished so much they'd update the others!!!
@ktyrrell Thank you very much!!! Glad you like them! *^_^*

Not just you.
Edit: Just realized what you meant. Yeah, Regent's bussard collectors are one of the few that have that distinct red glow. I wish that was an option that could be changed on other ships. I want Regent's red on all my ships.
...why is Cryptic incapable of designing good looking ships...
Well, I like a lot of their own designs (Hestia, Pathfinder, Mogh, Guardian,.. just to name a few) or at least "parts" of them, but I agree, that their own ships often include some questionable design choices (just from my point of view) - but I also think that it is very hard to compete with the original/canon designs in general.. well.. in the end I'm just happy that we have lots of ships and parts to choose among, so that there's something for everyone *^_^* !!!

Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
LLAP!!!

Looks like I didn't >.< My fault; will try to watch Who some more.
I hope at least the shots are good.
-
"To boldly go to the stars on the wings of the faithful."
No, it was still fun to read. And I figured, from the context, that you meant EEK! since Madran seemed to be in a panic.
Okay, corrected >.<

Still, I think I'll carry over the nacelles from the Regent though XD

On the ventral side of the saucer -- the ship ID... looks like it's been rotated by 180° XD

I noticed the same thing. I suppose it makes sense from a hull-walking perspective, but not so much from an off-ship perspective.
Not just you.
Edit: Just realized what you meant. Yeah, Regent's bussard collectors are one of the few that have that distinct red glow. I wish that was an option that could be changed on other ships. I want Regent's red on all my ships.
That shot almost makes the Archon look good. Almost. Really though why is Cryptic incapable of designing good looking ships...

Yup.. I also noticed that, but it doesn't bother me, coz I switched back to the original Sovy anyway
