Priority One recently visited Cryptic Studios to talk to the team. In this week's episode, they release their second video interview with Artists Nick "Tumerboy" Duguid, Ian "JamJamz" Richards, and Thomas "ThomastheCrypticCat" Marrone.

The lead on the Black Mesa mod that just came out shortly ago, works here on NW
Very cool!
love the vet ships, they have a huge amount of detail and i love to see that. i noticed the little rcs thrusters too in the nacelles, near the front of the secondary hull and in the creases in the saucer, there must have been good trek nerd advisement! but the blue !impulse engine vents on the saucer are confusing, why are they there at all?
oh and the kdf vet ship, its nacelles arent in their extended mode wile in sector space, they extend during warpout though. also what look like large impulse engines appear to be tagged as warp engines, the borg engine visuals are attached to it, and those 'impulse engines' eject warp plasma. looks kinda cool sure, but im sorta confused as to why the impulse engines are little yellow triangles when there are those huge exhaust vents.
This is Part 3 of their Trip. 1st Part was audio and Parts 2 and 3 were video.
The videos are just titled 1 and 2.
This ----^

Is there a third video?
There are currently 2 videos released and a separate audio interview in Episode 99 of Priority One. Next week, the third and final video featuring our interview with Scott "Goatshark" Shicoff will be published.
Couldn't corner DStahl for a few minutes that day, eh? (It would have been interesting to get some comment from the STO EP, assuming he was in the office that day.)

1) Swept-back pylons, you know you want them for the Regent. Makes her sleek in space like she goes swoosh!
2) Where is the Warp Core in the Klingon Vet ship? I mean how can it fit with those pods stowed? It boggles the mind!
3) Please get the Koro't'inga into the Foundry. I need that D-4 for my Mission!
Be great if you got the D-5 into the game, could use that as well.
I believe it's called Demorecord.
And yes, you can basically accomplish the same thing in demorecord.
ok you guys this IS CRAZY
i zoomed all the way in like JamzJamz showed in the video and...

you CAN'T SEE that detail in the game itself because you cant get close enough
lol, how screwed up is that?
here is an idea: instead of just drawing *lines* on the hull texture, how about adding some shades of color to the *fields*?
kinda like it is supposed to be:

Well, we tried to get them to fix the in-game camera. They went through a couple of iterations, got it better, then reverted it back and stopped communicating about it.
What I don't understand is why are there THREE different cameras in the game? One during flight (ok, but too far away), one in the ship tailor (horrible, way too far away), and one in the ship store (excellent, gets you right off the hull in nearly every angle).
If we had the ship tailor camera everywhere we could actually see these nice effects. As it stands, they are a waste of time for anything other than demo recordings.

Stop the easily abused and unfair auto-silence "feature"!
What J.J Abrams is the reason the way the regent is the way it looks?! Why is here even involved with sto it is set in the primeverse.
/sigh
Okay. So we shouldn't call JamJamz by JJ anymore. :P
Oh thats ok, we can call JamzJamz JJ
because internally we already agreed to call JJ (Abrams) only JarJar (Abrams) from now on.
No chance of confusion here right, move along.
My bad
