Environment Graphical Errors

I've been playing for some time now and some things I've noticed are several issues with areas of the game where the devs seem to have changed that have caused several Graphical errors in some interior environments throughout the game. Although most of these aren't serious game play effecting errors, I still feel that they are some things that both could, and should, be fixed regardless. with that in mind, I think we need a place to put up any of such bugs we can find, and give the devs some help with finding them in game and maybe getting around to fixing them soon.

I've taken it upon myself to document these issues with any and all screenshots I can gather. and place them here for the devs to at least look at them and maybe work on fixing them in the future. this thread is not by any means to put across mistakes, or put down the environment artists, in any way. It is simply meant to make finding errors so that they can maybe fix them. With that in mind, please try to keep the comments as civil and subjective as possible.

the most likely types of "Environment Graphical Errors" will mainly consist of such issues as can be found in our Starship Interior Environments. such as this one below.

This particular issue is an old example, and since I took this one, it has also been fixed. This one was only fixed because some concerned players like me, posted similar screenshots, and showed a lurking developer here on the forums, exactly what was broken. so keep this in mind before you comment on just how useful this thread is.

With that example aside, and the purpose of the thread clearly stated, I have found several others and have decided to put them all together here in one place so we can maybe get those fixed as well. I also urge others to share their own so that we can collect support for getting them finally fixed.

    OK, lets start this with organizing some of the issues into groups.

    Here are several errors Ive found among the federation side of the fence, and most of these are easier to see than some that Ive otherwise looked into. I think ill organize there into locations based on where and how they appear.

    first off is some I found just around,
    Earth Space Dock

    http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab139/Kenywolf/star%20trek%20online/screenshot_2012-04-02-22-04-34.jpg

    this one is somewhat obvious whats wrong, and this is one that only been around since the third or fourth season update I believe, could have been earlier but i just didn't notice it. but anyways the control panel is all messed up and some elements clip together in ways I don't think were intended. its a minor issue, but still its noticeable now.

    this one is harder to spot, but none the less it is the wall that's supposed to be lined up directly behind the tubbolift door its off center and it causes the door to stick out and be completely exposed and be seen through into space, on the one side of the wall I will get a screen shot of a better angle when next I get back in game.

    The next set of issues Ive found are all in the,
    Starship Interiors

    http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab139/Kenywolf/star%20trek%20online/screenshot_2012-04-03-16-57-19.jpg

    this one is simply a camera issue with the constitution starship interior, its not that troublesome, as the only way you'll encounter it is by deliberately getting too close to the wall. but its only here to illustrate that such things are possible.

    this one is simply a case of misaligned texture if your looking at the lower panel, the image is cut off at the top. again a minor thing but worth pointing out.

    these two are of the same place and similar issue a part of the wall, behind this computer control panel located in sickbay of the basic generic interiors, can be clearly seen clipping through the control panel.

    _________________________________________________
    for right now these are just a few in the locations Ive checked recently but ill be adding more as the thread fills up with more of them. if anyone has a few i have missed then by all means feel free to point them out and let me know where and how to find and produce them.

    Good luck.

    I've had a hole in my ship interior (between my office and the bridge itself) since Season 2.

    (and I've made a few threads, bug reports, etc. over these last ~1.5years, and long since gave up.)

    Then of course there's Bridge Officers with their legs through the Bridge seats.

    Very annoying...

    I'm going to look into this one a bit more personally, perhaps collect some more data on that, I need to know a few things first, exactly what bridge is that, or does it occur on all of them or just the specific one? I will add it to the list and see if we could provide more info to the devs the more details we can give maybe the sooner they will fix them.

    This thread might be a little old. But I also have something to report. On some bridges like the Galaxy and the sovereign, the science officer is not sitting in his seat but partly submerged in the floor :eek:.
