    Yes, good-bye, old friend! But... Hello "Pretty Phaser Lady"!!!

    You might need to refresh or clear your cache to see her.

    Cheers,

    Brandon =/\=

    Maybe one day Phaser Dude will come back from the learn mores section and meet Phaser Lady. They will realize their love for each other and marry. Then together they can have little Feddie Phaser children.

    I prefer phaser guy ._.

    edit:
    Funny thing is, last MMO i was somewhat addicted to did something similar, and a huge spark of debate was born over objectifying women, having a woman with hell cleavage on front page to appease male players, wonder if that will happen again

    Uhh, I'm disappointed. She lacks the detail, and looks more like a witch than a member of Starfleet.

    Please redesign her. (Or bring the guy back, he actually made me think of Star Trek.)

    Also why not add some KDF imagery there?
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Look !!!
    It's handsome phaser guy proudly still protecting our "About" page for the game.
    Thanks Handsome Phaser Guy !
    I wish it was still you instead of that tarty strumpet they've paraded out onto the front page now. Handsome Phaser Guy, of all the front page game graphics I have encountered, you were the most .... (choke, almost cry) ... human.

    Can we have a foundry contest to establish her back-story? She must have an interesting history. Quite immodest for a Vulcan, and some "enhancements" were apparently very logical.

    Her background: make Starfleet advertisement for hot males with her big TRIBBLE. :D

    Seriously, the new log in page looks like all other PWE crappy games.

    Yeah, as the title suggests, I'm rather ashamed of the new STO website background... Since when did we become Evony Online?

    Seriously? I'm all for having a woman on the main page, but does she have to be spilling out of her top and look like a cheap anime chick?

    Perhaps it's just me...

    Vulcan women in illogical tops is a time-honored tradition around here.

    Though the skirt is a bit too much if you ask me.

    Wow that new background is bloody TRIBBLE. That open top should never have been made in the first place. Males get an under shirt, but females luck like that! And justification for this or is it so the little adds for STO make teen boys giggle and subscribe?

    Stupid move.

    Can I remove the background?

    And she is apparently tripping and falling on her face because of her stilleto heels.

    When does the new slutwear from the tailor come out anyway?

    The "Download Now" button is positioned next to something that shouldn't even be there.

    That character is over sexualised to the max and it's a Vulcan, come on. The rest of that background is great, but that character needs changed, what was wrong with the old Starfleet Captain shooting the phaser?

    It's actually pretty embrassing, why would I want to link people to a game that shows something so silly.

    That said, she is kinda cute :o

    everyone remember when the open top featured on a pc mag cover won the poll for most wanted costume? i assume cryptic did as well hence its return.

    to be honest the top does not bother me. troi wore a few low cut ones in her time. the awkward run and not correctly using a phaser bothers me more.

    And that is pretty embrassing, women shouldn't be treated like that nor should we be using it to advertise something in the 21st century. It's terrible that Cryptic thought this was a good idea.

    I'm sorry but did you guys not watch Star Trek...I must have been seeing a different show...where all the women are hot and sexy, and Kirk got them all...and Green women were every nerds fantasy....In the 25th century Women are no longer sexually repressed, stop living in the 50's :cool:

    I like it when women show their sexuality, as long as it is THEIR choice, and they aren't being forced to do it.

    That 'thing' on the website hasn't been put there to show how liberated women are in the 25th century of the enlightened STO universe...

    Seriously, that picture is bad for promotion, if I had just heard of STO right now and went on the website to see how to get it and saw that picture, I would think that this game was a joke.
