    I presume you get the Enterprise C for completing it ;-)

    Klingons should get a "history of Klingons blowing up the Enterprise" with two pictures.

    Yeah, I know they didn't blow it up that time, but they can totally spin this story; they control the media.

    But will it include first image of a ingame model for the Ent-C or a generic picture of the C?

    Score, me wants more projects like this, more history of federation and KDF... also just an idea, fleet trophies, something player earned and peaceable to customise the bases even more :D

    I'm maybe not getting it, here. I mean, its just what - 12 static portraits for 200,000 dilithium?

    I like me some ships and I like me some art, but 200K? Think I will be passing.

    They blew up the Enterprise-D. I haven't watched "Star Trek - The Search for Spock" for a long time... So did they also blew up the original Enterprise or was it the self-destruct? I really don't remember...

    As far as I remember the Enterprise-C was destroyed by Romulans, wasn't it?

    Klingons will hang banners and upgrade the transporter area, [...]

    What kind of upgrade? You can't see it on the available screenshots :(

    My guess: The kind of upgrade that costs 200K dilithium but doesn't actually, you know, upgrade anything...?

    Several warriors died in the making of this special project, after a mysterious accident that caused the warriors to fall to their deaths, during the banner hang.

    Probably just a generic image like they have for the other enterprises not in game.

    These projects aren't worth 200K of dilithium. 25K to 50K tops.
    Playing since launch in 2010.

    They have the NX-01, TOS Enterprise, Refit Enterprise, Enterprise B, Enterprise D, and the Enterprise E. The only ship they don't have is the C.

    Thats funny. I wondered if maybe they were like the Klingons Championship Banners.

    Hanging banner reads:
    2409 Champions
    Table Tennis
    Intraspecies League
    Division IIA


    Or maybe the retired uniform numbers from the Klingon "Dream Team"?

    Especially when that much Dilithium can run upwards of $13 via ZEN. This is just too small of a change for that kind of cost.

    ...and for a fleet with 6 active contributing members. We like shiny things, but our pockets just aren't that deep. :(

    Cryptic is proud of customization options which players have with their characters, even Mr. Sthal spoke about it in Ask Cryptic or State of Game. Space stations were have to be same, unique for every Fleet, right now I'm all most sure that all stations look exactly the same.

    Instead those so called spacial projects which mostly are joke (especially this one for KDF) you should give Fleet leaders or any other person with correct fleet permission to use foundry and design which elements should be put in actual interior. Depending on which elements were used in project game system will calculate cost for Fleet project.

    For example I'd like to put three ship models on wall in Ops and a chair under them. Each model have base cost: 2500 GPL, 50 dilithium and 2 Self sealing steambolts and chair require 50 Provisions. So Fleet must pay 7500 GPL, 150 dilithium, 6 Self sealing steambolts and 50 Provisions to activated new project for furniture.

    This will make each Starbase unique, not that "special projects" same for every Fleet.

    Dude, that's 50 cents worth of Zen aka "Fake Money" per head. What are you trying to buy in the Cstore for 50 Zen?

    Also you're a Lifer, how about you spend 50 Zen of that 500 you get for free each month and help your fleet get something pretty to look at.

    Wait a minute, I think I see a problem here.

    The first three plaques according to the screenshot are:

    HMS Enterprise (I believe the one from Archer's ready room in ENT:United)
    USS Enterprise (based on tower location, I think CVN-65)
    Shuttle Enterprise.

    Now I can't see it clearly, but where is CV-6? The famous, highly decorated aircraft carrier from which TOS Enterprise get her name in RL?!

    Even if I got the carriers backwards (the angle and small image makes it hard to tell), you are missing one of these two ships.

    The last thing we know for sure comes from Path to 2409, final chapter in volume 29: After Starfleet lost contact with Starbase 236 in late September, it sent the U.S.S. Enterprise-E to investigate.

    There's no single word mentioned so far in the game about the fate of the Enterprise-E. If you know more, show me proof.

    Watched Battle 360 with my son, detailing the exploits of CV-6, and during the last episode he was commenting that he would LOVE to go visit it, like the museum ships USS Texas and USS Lexington. I had just googled the wiki page for it, and was reading about how it was sold for scrap, just as the show showed the video of them tearing her apart. My son cried for a long time over that. Me too, a little. The MOST DECORATED ship in WWII was chopped up and turned into scrap metal. :(
