I have never never, been this extactic so far playing sto then now. Even my fleet mates are telling me to settle down in vent. ITS GORGIOUS!!!!!!!! You guys out did yourselves this time around. BRAVO TEAM bravoooo!
It really feels your exploring space, I find myself feeling a new game and a great feel to it. I dont know what system is coming but it feels soooooo MUCH BETTER. I cant exrpess myself. Its just jaw dropping.
The details you have put into sector space. Really awsome.
Since, it's heading to Tribble now, I can spill the beans on the artwork for Sector Space (as it's also in the Tribble notes):
You have two modes of viewing sector space:
Astrometrics enabled: you have very faint, tiny gridlines and rotating star-system models on thin lollipops - it's not nearly as colorful as before. Think of Pelia and Orellius Sector Space (but prettier - see below)
Astrometrics Disabled: No grids, no lollipops, and no orbital lines. Stars appear as flickering objects that can grow in size to spheres on approach.
On top of these modes, you also have:
"Flavor text" and "System Briefings" that appear as tooltips when mousing over a system or when adjacent to one.
Starlines: Yes - warp speed finally has starlines too! These are the classic white lines - not the rainbow lines from Enterprise.
Checked out the vid... looks heads and shoulders above what was!!! Excellent job! Now we are getting somewhere! This one change has pushed my decission to buy the life time sub in March!

ohh the video only shows a tiny bit of whats to come its really awsome stuff. again way to go cryptic
Guys really need to check this out rather watch video's,not to diss the vids or anything but to actually explore space... it aint trek if you dont explore lol.
I honestly, I cant go back to holodeck. I keep exploring space...same space ive been in since shoot pre launch and i feel like a noob with a huge ship lol. I even get lost which is hilarous and i actually have to see where iam on the map. Its really something gang.
I know some of you seen my posts.. and most of my post..in a nut shell bash a little at cryptic, more constructive critism then anything else. But this has really made my jaw drop. They really went over the top on this and I couldnt be more happier. Theres a few bugs that need to be cleaned out but overall... just wow.
I was expecting alittle more with the romulan space.. was kinda disapointed on that end but overall wow factor is enormous hehe. I tell yah again dont watch vids go check it out.

I love the com's menu too.
Just JUST AWSOME!
There wasnt THAT many changes to the game. Just from the patch notes. It was mostly cosmetic and vendors selling different stuff.
I just had a look at this and my jaw dropped. This is one of the best updates this game has had so far! Bravo Cryptic! I will be sure to include this video in todays news update at HF.

ive lost count of how many jaw drops there have been so far :P
SS as well as the rest of S3 is two steps forward to what most players, if not nearly all of us wanted at release. Now if the UGCS is successful it will be a big leap forward. The USS Cryptic is doing well under CPT DStahl!
It is definitely nice and makes sector space feel more expansive. The larger sector blocks like Sirius feel much better.
The problem I had with it was in the smaller sector blocks like B'Tran. Without the astrometrics active, I was constantly hitting the sector "walls". Luckily we can turn the astrometrics on and off as we need it.

I'll bravo cryptic when they put UGC on tribble.
ive lost count of how many jaw drops there have been so far :P
MIne hit the floor and rolled off down the road O_O
Thanks for posting this thread dude
S3 was not supposed to be about a crapload of new stuff thought.
Its mainly about "major" bugfixing and polishing up the game.
And i doubt this was the "whole" update that went up, i imagine theres a lot more to come(mainly more bugfixes probally)
I did and did. But it was a great video to wake up to this morning. Wow. I am drooling even more (not as much as my son, but he's 1)
When they said polish, I was thinking maybe some bug fixes and a few graphical fixes (ship textures, etc). I was NOT expecting this at all.
