    Looks like a centaur class style ship (note the nx registry, looks like NX-3001), a klingon Stronghold and a trill officer . . . very cool screenshots.

    Wow. Nice. Set me up with a wallpaper version of the Centaur-class (?) in drydock. ASAP!

    Do the hands look really big on the federation officer outside the Klingon outpost to anyone else?

    Is it just me, or have there been changes to the Starfleet uniform since the trailer?

    Remember the trailer was when the game was in alpha stage, so there are going to be many many changes.

    They look as big as his head. Could be an illusion from the weeds in the back ground.

    Our artists do some amazing work. :) The first time I saw a ship in the dock it just blew my mind.

    I actually really like the look of the uniform on the Science Officer. Especially the detail... down to the zipper line (?) down the middle of the uniform. Really great. Be curious to see what other kinds of uniforms and variations will be available in the finished product... hopefully they'll be as good!

    WOOT! Trill! Made my night. I don't think they changed the uniform show much as they may be showing us some of the new options you could have. I like the ones from the trailer more to be honest. The hands do look kinda big in that pic to.

    Great stuff!

    Seeing the Centaur make it into the game makes me a very happy trekky :D

    Oh, and I really like the uniform too.

    Thank you Cryptic :)

    I think it confirms all suspicion that the shots we see are completed, ingame shots rather then early stage graphics. This means that STO is going to have bright, vibrant colors, which deviate from realism. The characters alone are nestled in the uncanny valley.
    Personally, I like it. I know some people hate it, but I don't let medium bother me so: YAY!

    Other than the hands on the guy in front of the outpost I think everything looks pretty good. I can't stop looking at the shots of the ship. I do like the way the uniforms look in the new screens, I just also hope we can have the ones from the trailer as well.

    That made my day after the relatively disappointing Ask Cryptic answers. Seriously, who cares about power allocation of ship systems when we don't even know the exact number or types of bridge/department head officers that we are able to have onboard? Can I customize my helm officer or will it be a random ensign NPC that gets to fly the ship? Can we have a counsellor? Will operations and science be merged as in most 24th century Trek? What about a communications officer?

    Anyway, nice pics.

    Great stuff. I love the pics of space, showing how vast and endless it is.

    nice pics. Love the look of the ship. Also I like the detail of the planet in the background.

    The hands of that guy do look a bit big, maybe he isn't human other than that I'm very happy with the look of the screenshots.

    The detail on the trill's uniform if very nice though I don't see the enlarged rank insignias from the trailer.

    i like the new style uniforms ... looks like more of a jacket than jumpsuit. The "seems" in the shoulder area are not new, if u look at the older six head shot from the gallery u can make the seems out on the blue one. we just are getting a better look at it now.

    anyone have any idea what those green "pods" are o the saucer section of that centaur class ? i admit its not one of my favs so i am not as familiar with it.

    I have to ask this question, it seems that, graphic-wise, some of the screenshots that we have been given look inconsistent, some like the vulcan outpost look amazing, while others though conceptually very nice like the starship in drydock, look like a cartoon, not something, I think we expect from STO. Are the graphic settings really low, or is it the full effect??

    I noticed that in the original trailer too. Honestly though, it doesn't bother me. The new screenshots look great, up close they look a bit rough, but from a distance (IE: Gameplay distance) I am sure they will be fine.

    The one question that hits my mind is, will we ever see our ships in drydock, and if so when?

    As any good update does, this just opens all sorts of cans of worms ;)

    Keep it up Cryptic :D


    --- Could the green pods be an indication of Borg technology upgrades???
