Maybe one day Phaser Dude will come back from the learn mores section and meet Phaser Lady. They will realize their love for each other and marry. Then together they can have little Feddie Phaser children.

He's actually still around in a few places on the site... for now

I prefer phaser guy ._.

edit:
Funny thing is, last MMO i was somewhat addicted to did something similar, and a huge spark of debate was born over objectifying women, having a woman with hell cleavage on front page to appease male players, wonder if that will happen again

*shrug*

toiva

Uhh, I'm disappointed. She lacks the detail, and looks more like a witch than a member of Starfleet.

Please redesign her. (Or bring the guy back, he actually made me think of Star Trek.)

Also why not add some KDF imagery there?

What about a TRIBBLE alternate login page with the old guy? :cool:

leviathan99

HelLO, new friend.

Uhm... So here's the thing. She's wearing the new fleet uniforms, unzipped. Plans to add this option?

Look !!!
It's handsome phaser guy proudly still protecting our "About" page for the game.
Thanks Handsome Phaser Guy !
I wish it was still you instead of that tarty strumpet they've paraded out onto the front page now. Handsome Phaser Guy, of all the front page game graphics I have encountered, you were the most .... (choke, almost cry) ... human.

(Bagpipes start)

darkhorizoncymru

Hurray! Now the front page looks like that godawful Valor MMO whose ads pop up all over the net!

Jeez - could we have a bit of respectability?

digimatl

Well - handsome phaser guy actually reminded me of Star Trek. That new elf is pretty but looks more like WoW...dont need that here.

Wordpress doing for you what it does best? #Fail
No surprise there.

Btw, fix your response headers..
This is just the home page

Gotta be kidding me right? Let each browser decide how to handle the TRIBBLE HTML that is returned.

Nice if I know a security hole in Apache, thanks for the dead give away!

Better have a super fast memory reverse proxy running.. With Wordpress runnnig I doubt the web devs have ever heard of it.

Why in all that's holy on the web do you server images through PHP?! And not like there's 1 image being generated through this, it's dozens! Response times ~1-3 seconds for an image. Ow and yes I've cache disabled so keep sending those images.

I really hate to be part of Cryptic/Perfect world web dev team. I would cry myself asleep knowing this is what I'd have to work with..

On topic: nice pic

Can we have a foundry contest to establish her back-story? She must have an interesting history. Quite immodest for a Vulcan, and some "enhancements" were apparently very logical.

Her background: make Starfleet advertisement for hot males with her big TRIBBLE.

Seriously, the new log in page looks like all other PWE crappy games.

quiiliitiila

Yeah, as the title suggests, I'm rather ashamed of the new STO website background... Since when did we become Evony Online?

Seriously? I'm all for having a woman on the main page, but does she have to be spilling out of her top and look like a cheap anime chick?

Perhaps it's just me...

That artwork is AWESOME!!! Sorry if it was asked before: can we please have this as a desktop wallpaper???

rickeyredshirt

I agree. Looks totally corny...

jexsamx

Vulcan women in illogical tops is a time-honored tradition around here.

Though the skirt is a bit too much if you ask me.

artan42

Wow that new background is bloody TRIBBLE. That open top should never have been made in the first place. Males get an under shirt, but females luck like that! And justification for this or is it so the little adds for STO make teen boys giggle and subscribe?

Stupid move.

Can I remove the background?

zakon90505

And she is apparently tripping and falling on her face because of her stilleto heels.

When does the new slutwear from the tailor come out anyway?

thomas12255

The "Download Now" button is positioned next to something that shouldn't even be there.

That character is over sexualised to the max and it's a Vulcan, come on. The rest of that background is great, but that character needs changed, what was wrong with the old Starfleet Captain shooting the phaser?

It's actually pretty embrassing, why would I want to link people to a game that shows something so silly.

thedoctorbluebox

Typical PWE game showing through right there, their influence is now showing through.

That said, she is kinda cute

rdm1958

i have not seen it yet, but TOS was full of hot women in revealing clothing.

captainrevo1

everyone remember when the open top featured on a pc mag cover won the poll for most wanted costume? i assume cryptic did as well hence its return.

to be honest the top does not bother me. troi wore a few low cut ones in her time. the awkward run and not correctly using a phaser bothers me more.

And that is pretty embrassing, women shouldn't be treated like that nor should we be using it to advertise something in the 21st century. It's terrible that Cryptic thought this was a good idea.

thedoctorbluebox

TOS has the short skirts, and you are right, Troi had that top that showed her TRIBBLE quite amply.

even men had skirts - ! http://robynpaterson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/F979CC5E-7CC4-4312-A436-6E0ED7C96CC.png

I'm sorry but did you guys not watch Star Trek...I must have been seeing a different show...where all the women are hot and sexy, and Kirk got them all...and Green women were every nerds fantasy....In the 25th century Women are no longer sexually repressed, stop living in the 50's :cool:

thedoctorbluebox

I like it when women show their sexuality, as long as it is THEIR choice, and they aren't being forced to do it.

That 'thing' on the website hasn't been put there to show how liberated women are in the 25th century of the enlightened STO universe...

Seriously, that picture is bad for promotion, if I had just heard of STO right now and went on the website to see how to get it and saw that picture, I would think that this game was a joke.

Makes me think of that 'Vulcan love' slave program we constantly heard about in DS9 series...
