A fleet mate of mine made a interesting point today
Why is it that when you approach ESD or any other star base it says "dock" yet when you load the map you start in the transporter room, why don't we start in some kind of hanger?

Your ship docks, you use transporter, cause it faster and more convenient.
I live in an alternate universe, where j.j. abrams and cryptic never existed,
where R.S.E. is what it always should be.

I hope they made that ESD from materials on other planets not on Earth because that means they used almost all the iron in Earth's core to make that thing
because that will look cool first 5-10 times ,then it will only be a waste of time to get through all that everytime.
So yeah +1 to an arguement for being able to transport as soon as you get into sol as opposed to flying close to it.
It is through repetition that we learn our weakness.
A master with a stone is better than a novice with a sword.
Has damage got out of control?
This is the last thing I will post.
I am not a Trekky, but I think they stopped using steel a long time ago in ST terms. Isn't some sort of alloy that may not even exist to us yet?
Exactly think of the loading screens and the multiple "server not responding" messages. It would drive you nuts.
and if i remember right duranium and tritanium are used in star ship and star base construction not steel XD
Most ships in the Trek universe are made from duranium/tritanium. Tritanium is 21.4 times as hard as diamond. :P
From a purely game play perspective, yes when we come to ESD we aren't there to roleplay a starship layover. We're there to drop loot, switch ships, turn over contraband, etc, and do so as quickly as possible so we can move on. In that sense, the transporter pad works. It also allows one location to serve both as your spawn in point and a direct link to the Academy.
Also, alot of people went by shuttle to their ship in ESD. It'd be nice to get a short animation of your shuttle going to and from the ship when you arrived or left.
