    Agreed, lets change it up.

    Hestia, Presidio, Resolute, Andromeda.. any of them would be a welcome change.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    I admit it is a little odd that they haven't swapped in the new ship in ESD yet. Especially since the last solo release ship was the Resolute, and they didn't swap her in like they've done in the past on Old ESD.

    I'm actually surprised that they don't change things up more often. At this point, lots of FE's are obvious ads for whatever new ship comes out. See "Delta Flight" and others as an example. Why would they not advertise their new ships on ESD also?
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Well... can't really fit 3 ships into the viewing space very easily. I can understand swapping out the ship for one of the single release ships like the Resolute, or taking a recognizable version like the Vesta on Old ESD.

    If i remember right think a dev (possibly Taco) said it was a pain in the rear to change and so would be happening less often.

    I agree though, due a change and i miss the days it changed more frequently.

    Was quite fond of the Galaxy model myself.

    Everything is about exploration now so bring in the Nova.​​
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Would it not be possible to rotate the ships? Have say, three setups, then upon ESD beam in, we, the player, are dealt with one of the various sets?

    what's up with the delay in switching ships out? You used to do that a bit.

    Yes let's stick a 6 mile long ship in the middle of ESD, it'd give a few laughs anyway. Also replace the Federation computer voice with Holly for when your announcements need just a little bit more sarcasm :D.​​

    If the Pathfinder weren't advertised with those awful pylons, you'd be lapping it up. On mind, I use the Intrepid pylons, Belephrone nacelles and it's gorgeous!

    Yeah, yeah. Still my intent to swap, just busy with stuff.

    I know . . . that and $0.10 . . .

    Someday I'll just do it. It's not hard to move things around in there, but I have to convert any new ships from costumes to geo, and I have to update the map in Quinn's office. Not a ton of time, but more than I have spare.

    TRIBBLE the map in Quinn's office. everything doesn't have to be just perfect all the time. heck I could put up with ship being there for a few more months for more romulan bridges instead of dank-and-dreary. and I swear the only thing the crew lounge is missing is cigar smoke thick enough to stab with a fork to make a seedy back alley bar.

    As long as it's not the Resolute or Command Cruisers, I'm fine with whatever you put there when you get time.



    Now, make sure it's the Jupiter or Typhoon.​​

      I think it would be hilarious to see random stuff happening in the dock, like a string of spacesuits wandering around like the old lost in space credits, or a bottle of Picard splashing against a hull, or some 2oth century satellites wandering through

      the pathfinder. original intrepid looks much better. really its the nacells. what i'd like to see there is a symbol of the alliance between Starfleet and the Romulan Republic....put a faeht front and center.

      but since it likely has to be a Starfleet ship make it a Hestia.
