Remove tron-like lines from Intel ships

This is feedback forum, right? I read "This is where you post your feedback on Federation-exclusive content"
Cool. So dear devs, please give a ship tailor's customization option to remove tron-line blue lines from Phantom's saucer/hull and Eclipse's nacelles.
Seriously, it's a starship, not a pimp-my-ride, I can't see why the heck a starship would have a shining line along the nacelle.
Plus you make the intel story with black intel material to lower ship's radiation signature and then you add a shining strip so that anyone can see it across half of the sector :eek:

Nice behaviour. But it seems this is standard in social media platforms.
No, there are not. I tried them all. The lines on sides of Eclipse nacelles are always there and so are the lines on the border between primary and secondary hull of Phantom. In both cases these lines actually glow. So you may find some hull materials, that reflect similar color under specific lighting conditions, making the glowing lines almost invisible, but as soon as you warp to sector space or system with different lighting, you immediately see the lines glowing in their full glory.
In fact I fly with the light grey/white material, that makes the lines the least intrusive, but they're there.
I wouldn't mind having recesses showing the blue plasma (or whatever inside the nacelles) on the sides of Eclipse nacelles, and recess in front of nacelle with bussard collector,
similar to other fed ships. But these are not recesses, these are single-color, edge-to-edge tron lines.
Define "insult and rant". I was merely referring with to the fact that the feedback forum is not really used like feedback forum by many people, and your comment demonstrates this as well. I used a bit of irony and whether it is appropriate or not is perhaps a matter of personal taste.
And contrary to your belief that I "wanted something", I simply gave a feedback. I am responsible customer who believes it is helpful to to give a feedback. I am trying to use feedback edit: forum /edit for this. Even though Cryptic demonstrated that they won't listen to feedback most of the time, this shouldn't discourage their clients from giving feedback.
Well, your best bet at this point is to wait for more hull materials to be released. Or maybe find a shield gear that does an additional effect. Cryptic recently released more hull materials across their ships, so it has a fair chance of happening again.

I see you don't understand your own posts. Allow me.
Maybe if you take your time when you post you won't find yourself confused or insulted when another forum goer takes an interest in your content.
Perhaps you need guidance in how to post? For instance you could follow this guideline.
State your position: "Intel ships are too gaudy/florescent/glowing to really give a stealthy effect"
State your proposal: "Intel ships need more costume options to allow them a more muted stealthy appearance"
Thank the reader for their consideration: "Thank you for taking time out to read my post"
and Thank You OP, for reading my post!
See what I did there?
Here I emphasize the fact that this is supposed to be a feedback forum. My understanding is that I am using this to give feedback to developers. Of course, I welcome anyone to read it, but I only expect comments that are related to the "matter" and will either support/share the same feedback or give workaround or solution in case my feedback is actually nonsense and shows my ignorance.
Here I am politely giving the feedback.
Here I am elaborating on the feedback.
If you find any of that offending, then I am sincerely sorry about that. You can see on a side when I joined and how many comments I made since then, so the risk that you'd run into another post of mine is fairly low.
And no, I don't find your comment insulting. But it's a feedback on my style, not on tron-like lines, so it does not belong to this thread.
The Scryer could be interesting and Starfleet, if it was a bit more polished.

Regarding Scryer, I don't have it. I got Phantom for 3k and Eclipse in sale. I like Scryer in general. At least from the look at shipyard it seems it actually does not have these tron lines. What I don't like on Scryer are the edgy deflectors and pointy nacelles. Imho rounded, elliptical deflectors would look better. But that would really require basically full model revamp and that's not gonna happen.
@gwassalor: Try putting the Phantom necelles on the Scryer then. The Fed Intel ships share necelles. I got a friend who put Eclipse necelles on his Phantom, and I've seen Eclipse class ships with Phantom necelles.

I agree. The Saucer looks too much like those Trade Federation ships from "SWE1: The Phantom Menace". And the straight-line defiant nacelles rather than SLIGHTLY underslung as "the original escort" doesn't help much either. Hell, the Yeager-Intrepid-Raider ship has much better lines. And I would like to see that as a T4 alternate to the Defiant(I don't even care about a T6 version, just a T4 version!).
Same here, I've got fond of Phantom's look, altho to be it looks more like the old F-117 Stealth fighter. In fact, I am sad that this texture settings didnt made it to production (sry for the low quality, but STO own page that was displaying these is broken and the images cant be found anymore). It was a head-lights theme on the glowy bits near the deflector...
In case of the Intel ships those grilles are even really narrow. Much less obvious than your standard ship, right?
The Fed ships not having glowing nacelle grills can probably be counted on one hand.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a sort of blue grills or recesses that other fed ships have. What Eclipse has are lines, or stripes (or whatever is the right word, sorry), it's single solid color line with no texture, no shadowing, no recess, no grill, nothing. No beginning and no end - just single stripe that goes all along the nacelle.
It does not evoke the traditional fed nacelle recess/grill thing and it does not evoke anything related to technology that would tell you it has some purpose. It really looks just like a cosmetic stripe and if they were three, the nacelle would look exactly like Adidas pants leg.
Doesn't look bad with Phantom nacelles + the Borg theme is awesome! But the Scryer does not suffer from the tron lines as far as I could tell from the pictures and checking the ship in shipyard. I don't have it so I can't tell for sure.

Not sure who, me? I did, post #4. The lines are glowing with it's own color, the color slightly changes for different materials, but it's a glow, so they're always visible in dark systems and in sector space.

Mmm....if I were given the choice I honestly think I'd prefer owning Star Wars over Star Trek, so I think Disney is probably satisfied with what they have.
