Just a little note on LoD: the Miranda Model goes to a lower-res model from pretty much everywhere in new ESD except for right by Capt. Yim.
Also RE: no civies on ESD. Found that last night. ESD has a whole Civilian population area. I'm sure a few come up to the Starfleet Area on business, especially with the wars going on and needing Starfleet protection.
On the whole, still spending hours doing nothing on the incomplete map because shiny objects.
It's funny as I thought that the bell section was like this. Imagine my shock when Taco was going by similar blueprints.
You know on your idea, Spacedock should get a daily mission to escort Civilian freighters, the inverse of the the Pi Canis raiding missions.
"Rise like Lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you-Ye are many they are few"
Oh btw:
Please get rid of the docked Miranda Class inside ESD...I really don't know why it is present in there. Instead put in a more modern ship like the Aquarius or sth similar.
What do you have against the Miranda? It's an nice nod to new players who can recognize their most likely starter ship docked there.
Quinn has other office space for private meetings and such. This is his command center. Just as Adama has private quarters, but spends his time in the CIC, Quinn does the same with Ops. It's not meant to be a private space.
This was my assumption.
Perhaps the eventual signage will make this more clear for those who are bothered by this - once it gets formally labeled "Admiral's Office," there will be no turning back. :P
...talking to players is like being a mall Santa. Everyone immediately wants to tell you all of the things they want, and you are absolutely powerless to deliver 99% of them.
The kits are found at one area of the station (the shop next to tailor shop, while the devices for the kits are on a NPC at the other side of the station (an innocuous NPC standing in the open area selling dil items). The two need to be in the same shop so players can buy the kit and then buy the devices for the kit without a lot of running around the station.
Overall, looks good and looking forward to the final model.

It's pretty obvious the model is a placeholder, it's a low resolution version meant for distant views and at first I didn't recognize it myself, but since every Federation player starts out in a Miranda I see nothing wrong with it showing in the dock. It would give continuity for Federation players to be able to see their first ship docked somewhere in the bay, but I expect pride of place will eventually be given up to the newer ships.
It might be a good idea to move the Voth defector to a location in Ops, where he is right now outside of the exchange, he seems more like he's orchestrating abductions to the Voth Battlefield than merely arranging transport there.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
I noticed a floating console on the main area directly below the transporter pad. There's also some NPC's sitting inside furniture or in the floor (yes, in the floor, not on it), but I assume all of that is the "WIP" mentioned earlier.
I would, as others have mentioned, like to see Captain's Table access from somewhere inside ESD (if not added as a transwarp option).
I'd also like a return of the private lounge area (from original ESD), maybe with a dance floor or DJ area?
I'd like to see more civilian-friendly areas. I don't come to ESD just to meet with Admiral Quinn, and ESD also houses a significant commercial area in addition to the Starfleet sections. I'd like to visit those areas.
I'll be honest, I'm not too fond of trying to make STO look more and more like Mass Effect. If I wanted to play ME, I'd play it.

That NPC is standing there because a couple nights ago the devs had some fun with NPC spawning and that NPC got moved away from their regular spot. The map has not reset since then.
Also RE: no civies on ESD. Found that last night. ESD has a whole Civilian population area. I'm sure a few come up to the Starfleet Area on business, especially with the wars going on and needing Starfleet protection.
I didn't say Civilians aren't on the station, I agree, this place would be crawling with them. I said that Civilians aren't in the COMMAND room.
Thank you for the information, tacofangs. I guess all existing Foundry missions will still work, but any text referring to specific NPC or object locations will have to be updated. I remember reading that the spotlight missions were frozen. I'm not a Foundry author, so I don't know if that's true. Do you know if there's a way for authors to update spotlight missions?
I must admit I'm nearing the end of my foundry knowledge here. But there are descriptions for each object, built into them. Those descriptions say what the object is, and where it is located. Those have all been updated to reflect their new geometry and location. However, if you specifically wrote something within YOUR mission text that described the object, or where to find it, clearly that would not be automatically updated.
I like the new ESD. It shows a kind of advancement into the future Starfleet design.
I have one request though: Could you please get rid of the interaction induction you have when you access the bank in ESD? I meant it is not build in the bank on SF Academy, on Kronos or elsewhere but only in ESD which kinda is annoying and adds nothing to immersion anymore.
I would really appreciate this quality of life improvement.
Oh btw:

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking for? Removing the "Interaction induction"?
Starfleet (as proven by anyone that looks around) uses all sorts of ships from all sorts of eras. The newest/coolest will be front and center in the Docking Bay, but IMO the Miranda should stay, as new Captains will be flying one.
The image SirBoulevard posted is from Memory Beta, and is not canon. I disagree about the lower dome being another docking bay. I think it is far more likely/cool/useful that the lower dome would be used as a large indoor atrium/recreation area for the hundreds of thousands of folks that live and work on ESD.
Taco: It's difficult for us to say at the moment if Foundry doors, objects and NPCs are working since the Foundry is shut off. I did notice that Quinn's receptionist, the Ocampan looking woman outside his office on current ESD who I believe is a Foundry contact, seems to be missing on new ESD.
As for Spotlight missions, Branflakes in the past has allowed some of us to regain control of our missions to fix things like this and then were put back up. Specifically there were a few missions that used old Drozana station that had to be updated when the new version of that was introduced. We'll have to see how smooth the transition to new ESD is for the Foundry, but I imagine any spotlight authors can contact Captain Smirk if need be.

I would have to agree with this and also you have my thanks for including so many canon designed ships among the various interior/exterior docks, really made my day.
Is it possible that the ships in dock use the type 6 skin to make them A) more canon but also brighter? Perhaps add a bit more life with some work bees flying around? The lone yellowstone doesn't appear to be enough.
There are some old ESD assets lying around like vases/lamp things and some alien plants, will these be removed as they don't give the changes you have made justice.
Have to say Taco many many thanks for being so prolific in posting here, much appreciated.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking for? Removing the "Interaction induction"?
I think they meant 'Interact' instruction. The label of the button to use the bank when you stand near the console currently says 'Interact' on it at the new ESD rather than 'Visit Bank' or something similar. I assume that like a lot of similar prompts there ('Open Door' and the like), it's simply placeholder stuff that will be changed later.
New ESD is slick. Not as gorgeous as the Flotilla, but definitely a step up from the old one.
Some areas are maybe a little too barren, though. And I'm not sure I like the tailor, ship-seller, etc, all just standing there on the floor. They need their own desk or corner or something. And turbolifts down need to go altogether: bringing you to the old stuff just breaks immersion.
The place where I presume the exchange was going to be was still inoperable.
Oh, and for some bizarre reason, I couldn't (right-click) change uniforms in there.

I am pretty sure they mean that there is a channel on these consoles before you get the buttons to choose bank/account bank/fleet bank,while other consoles in other zones are instant.
The more time I visit it, the more that it grows on me. The sickbay is beautiful, and it feels like a starbase should in 2409.
ESD's new Sickbay is beautiful, and perfect for ship use, or more importantly in STO's case, perfect for game use. It's the size of a small trauma ward with a single not-very-separate ER. (not to mention no privacy, you can see all the way into the emergency bed from outside sickbay! Hope no one is giving birth!)
A station as large as ESD would likely have an entire Hospital deck (or section of the station) that is separate from the general population for obvious reasons.

I mean the interaction duration until you get access to the bank itself.
On ESD you are typing around 2-3 seconds before you get access to your bank. On all the other places the bank access is instant without the interaction.

I think I saw her, If I remember correctly she was half sunk into a chair somewhere around the command center , that is unless they have added another blonde NPC wearing the blue and gold veteran jacket
These are the Voyages on the STO forum, the final frontier. Our continuing mission: to explore Pretentious Posts, to seek out new Overreactions and Misinformation , to boldly experience Cynicism like no man has before.......
Not inane. Not a waste of time. Definitely worth asking about.
Just not something easily accomplishable, and we've got a lot on our plate already. If we find a good/easy way to do it, I guarantee we'd find a place for your ship, even if it wasn't front and center. (i.e. maybe outside, so big ships had room?)
With our ships being about the size of our players as it is, if you all did find the time to show our ships maybe it could just be a hologram somewhere inside? Wouldn't be all big and huge out the window, but would kinda give what others are asking for as well and save time trying to scale up the ships just to make it work.:)

I would rather they keep the current selection its nice to see some canon ships in there. I wouldn't like to see player ships as some people have got some absolutely hideous ships, hell a friend of mine takes pleasure in butchering ships just to troll me!

I never said remove the current ships, but a holo console or whatever somewhere on the station showing the model. Also it's been mentioned already each player would see their OWN ship not everyone elses. So the only "hideous" thing you'd see is your own ship. :P

I still think it accomplishes that goal. You can stand in the center of the concourse, and spin your camera around, and see every single important location. Yes, things are divided off into their own rooms, but that lets us dress them up more like the thing they are. We tried to group logical things. So the Tailor/Commodities/Equipment Reqs are together. The Admiral's Office is now a whole operations center with all of your peronnel management contacts, as well as mission givers, skills trainers, etc. The Shipyard is now on the same floor, not through some random door that looked like nothing. Running shouldn't be that much more than before. It's roughly the same physical size as old ESD, but you're not running in a circle anymore. For the most part you can go from entrance to entrance with little deviation.
Don't get me wrong, it's your best map and the attention to detail is wonderful. Nice to finally have normal sized ceiling in some rooms. It just seems a little too spread out at times and all those railings in the main foyer near the Shipyard, in the end I found it easier just to jump over them, which I suspect most player will do spoiling the decorum of such a wonderful place. Sorry I thought you Americans like going around in circles, isn't that what NASCAR is all about? Also I keep failing in the water, funny at first but getting very tired now. I just noticed the windows in the ceiling and the wonderful view of the stars, nice touch. I remember how players raved about Bajor, how wonderful it looked and how they would not go anywhere else, that didn't last long. How ever, it's just all those little things nagging away at me in the new ESD which I know will annoy me and causes me to hate the map.
I watch Nascar for the possibility of crashes. That makes be somewhat of a bad person. Or at least mildly sadistic. On the upside we didn't invent golf. I acknowledge this. But it isn't universally American.
The image SirBoulevard posted is from Memory Beta, and is not canon. I disagree about the lower dome being another docking bay. I think it is far more likely/cool/useful that the lower dome would be used as a large indoor atrium/recreation area for the hundreds of thousands of folks that live and work on ESD.
I would think that having an area with lots of natural plantlife would also assist with processing the air in the station and keep it from being a dry sterile atmosphere.

A station as large as ESD would likely have an entire Hospital deck (or section of the station) that is separate from the general population for obvious reasons.
However, for a game, it should be fine.
That's true, but it would also be logical for each section to have a ready infirmary say once every five decks. You shouldn't need to take a full tram ride to get basic medical attention, site to site transport not withstanding...though there are instances where transporting is inadvisable.
Also you would have a medical facility near the docking ports capable of quarantine in case a ship with an infectious outbreak docks.
That would likely be near the core though.
Are there any Foundry assets for the inside of Spacedock by chance, like a view from the core inside the dock?

So ran around shooting people at ESD today, which then turned into a few of us trying to blow it open with orbital strikes and shooting walls everywhere :P
Probably wanna make sure weapons in shooter mode are disabled before going live lol.

Hmm. That's an interesting image. I agree, its a cooler and more practical use of the space, I kinda object to it being quite *that* big. If its width was cut in half by a third and the bulkheads around it were heavily armored to protect it, I could see that working. Otherwise my brain is going "Structural weak point!

I agree. The progress bar that says "Interacting" should be removed from the mail, bank, and Exchange. There is no reason to put a delay between clicking the button and opening the window. The progress bar may make sense for mission objectives, but not for services in a social zone. Also, interacting with a mail terminal currently brings up a window with one button, which opens the actual mail window. Why is there a window whose sole purpose is to grant the user access to another window? Interacting with the mail terminal should just open the mail window itself.

Hi,
I'm glad you were able to discover that shooter mode in ESD needs to be disabled before going live.
However, is this really the kind of game play behavior we need to see out of our Community Moderator... who we look towards for maintaining order?
I wanted to make a suggestion for the New Earth Space Dock. Now that the Federation is allied with the Romulan Republic (I play Romulan Republic) can we get some romulan technology or green romulan themed colors on the Earth Space Dock in a few places (not the plants) that could reflect this new partnership? A comingling of the two powers if you will. Just a thought...THanks for your time.
I'm a lover not a fighter. But I'm also a fighter so don't get any ideas...
I really like the overall direction of the floor plan. The greenery and calm waters make for a comfortable environment to pass some time.
Most every seat and bench has the sit mechanic already in place. Most excellent.
Sickbay is my favorite Sickbay layout of the game. I wish my starship and fleet starbase had this one.
Seeing the Miranda class docked inside is a welcome touch. New player's will feel more welcome.
Taco directed me to the ramp in that round room. Which is a lounge. Half way up the ramp it levels out briefly with a blocked door frame on that back wall. That will be the doorway to Club 47's dance floor when hooked up. Which will be nice. A social presence for those who want it. And those who don't won't notice it while using the services they need.
This is basically my opinion. And the last part brings up something else I like about the new Spacedock - Features you don't use normally (The weapons and commodities requisition officers, for instance) no longer seem to get in the way of what you DO need. While the actual distances are sometimes the same,, that's not what matters - what matters is how boring the walking is, and feels. Going by lots of useless TRIBBLE you never use is annoying, but going by cool scenery, in a more-or-less straight line, feels fine.
