Yes, a fantastic addition. It really adds to the atmosphere, and gives you perspectiive on just how huge those ships really are.
Im still looking forward to internal missions where i get to take a shuttle out of my ship to work on the hull for some reason....of course the texture set would have to be redone, but it would be epic to work on my hull outside my ship and get a sense of how massive it is.
It's just been added as of 2.0. I agree this is awesome, and even more so when I spotted a few of them moving.
My only issue is one that I've brought up before, and now shows up even more since your eyes are drawn outside more. Look at how blurry the stars are outside of ESD when inside.... Now goto SB 39 and look outside the interior window....
Its cool, but limited. So far its only a docked Recon Science Vessel (don't know the exact variant), and an Akira and Assault Cruiser flying around in opposite directions. And they're in the same positions across all instances. Hopefully they add more ships and vary them across the instances.
I noticed this last night as well. Kudos to Cryptic! It adds an enormous amount of atmosphere to see the ships parked and slowly cruising around out there. Awesome!

I think something they could do to really improve this is to add one more parked ship out there. Your own.
besides it looking nice and thats what i am getting from most of you here is their a function to it. do you not notice that the space station is surrounded by dry docks yet you dont see this when on the station. you see a ship outside, oh how nice.
It's a great addition... i love it!
It would be nice if whre more model than just three and perhaps some ships going o exiting warp... like arriving or departing the ESD.

Sometimes the smallest things make the best impressions.
Great going Devs.
Keep adding these Trekkie things..... we love em.

Why not?
Not all ships are there to drop off captain to chat.
Others might be there for computer upgrades, minor refits, unloading cargo, etc.
There's a ton of reasons for ships to "dock", otherwise the Defiant would've just floated next to DS9 for the entire series when it wasn't in use.
