    His signature is a scene from Nemesis AKA Star Trek 10. That's Donatra's "Mogai" class IRW Valdore. But just a warning, avert your eyes; staring at scenes from Nemesis is known to burn straight into your soul. o:) (Despite this, yes it does have some nice space battles. In particuar it was where the original Scimitar was introduced :) )

    As Zephram Cochrane once said, "That'll do, pig. That'll do." - April 1st 2015. o:)

    Cassandra's LCARS (my own version i use on my forums for my fleet)
    okay, for anyone to see, i created a sample STO forums added with my own LCARS design for Official STO Forums. it was brought up to test different variety of LCARS design.

    then i came to this, as it is now today. and of course, it turned out to be a fleet favorite LCARS design by my fleet. so i decided to work on it more to improve the design before i transfer the design to my main fleet forums.

    Below is sample design of LCARS forum by me.

    Edit:
    before anyone asks, the background is photo of my starship in STO.
    i used the photo for that forum. it looked good with the sample design.

    Don't think CRYPTIC can afford the cost. Yes most fleets have more money that Cryptic who will save a penny from any way possible. The ARC forums are a disgrace from any perspective. Mobile unfriendly, quoting and search mediocre at the very least plus many other disadvantages. I like the polls and animated GIFs but at times it could be epilectic and too flashy. Anything is an improvement to the ARC forums. :*

    I would vote for the "no" option.

    I think basic simple color schemes would be more than enough for me.

    well i offer free volunteering to fix their forums. i have little knowledge of Vanilla Forums. they have same properties as the LCARS forum does.

    my LCARS forum has features that not all forums has. those features are "Like", "thumbs up/down" and polls within topics, allowance of animated GIFs buttons, signatures. including the ability to select any theme for your personal use on the forum. many more of features are available here.

    Got to say this is the least LCARS looking attempt I have seen, Adding a couple of yellow bars to forum headers does not an LCARS theme make. The effort from Belidos however does look very LCARS like.

    actually it was TNG era LCARS. but now i came back to it and updated the design again. went with my own original design. i call it Kamidake LCARS. i use black transparent design, which gives Kamidake LCARS a unique LCARS design that's not normally used by any Trek shows or in game. Kamidake LCARS was named after my ship in the game.

    To be honest any decent LCARS from any of the series or movies would be good. TWoK is also a cool one.

    I agree with Taco there's no "No" option. I've seen many websites with full LCAR look and forums at first it looks cool, then the novelty wears off and it just becomes annoying to navigate. You don't know what's an image or a link. Just too cluttered. Modern look is best left sleek, clean, and and easy to navigate.

    Thanks, the trick with transparent websites is not to make it too transparent, just a hint of the image behind is all that's needed, plus an image that is similar in colour scheme to the rest of the site helps a lot, it blend sin more and doesn't stand out and detract from the content.

    Thanks, I wanted a look that was easily readable but had an LCARS look without being too cluttered, it's not strictly LCARS but has elements to blend it into an LCARS theme.
