Question regarding a screenshot

Hi folks.

I have recently spotted an interesting screenshot of aship and boff loadout, yet I cannot determine where it is from. Is this some kind of build planner?

    Looks like a screenshot of the STO Gateway.

    Thank you.

    It looks kind of different in the German version, though. Sadly I haven't figured out yet, if there is a way to force the English site.

    Some of that appears photoshopped or was a mock up by cryptic as it is different on the english version as well.

    I'd like to know that too.
    I'd also like to know why my ship looks like a clowncar when viewed from the gateway.:confused::eek:

    I am not entirely sure but switching your Launcher to English should do, when you open the Gateway from there.
    I am German, but have never played the game in german, since the bugs in the translation of the early daysfreaked the TRIBBLE out of me, apart from the fact that Star Trek is best consumed in english, but this is personal preference.

    Nevertheless the english version of the Gateway will look just like the screenshot you have posted of the german version (except for the german texts of course).
    What the other player did was to make screenshot of various subpages of the gateway and rearrange those with photoshop, gimp or whatever. After that he added some texts (weapon and console explanations) and the result is what you see.
    In our fleet we are doing something similar to help each other with our builds.
    So if you want something similar, then you have to use some gfx-fu to achieve it.

    It does look that way because you configured it that way in the shiptailor. What you are seeing is the real shipskin without the overlay of the KHG shielding.
    It takes some time for the gateway to recognize changes. Activate the visual overlay of the shield and wait. It should be updated in the gateway in up to 48 hours.

    I would agree with you, if my ship didn't look like this:

    I turned off the KHG shield because I find the grey of the ship material I selected (no patterns) a lot more apealing than the KHG shield's grey.:)

    Hmmmm then the ship used to have that config and you changed it (Maybe when you got it). But that would mean that the intervals for updating could be far larger then I thought ... or maybe they are only triggered by changes in the ship configuration. Any hints on this from the gateway subforum?

    Believe me, I got the ship the day it came out (which was in Feb) and it never looked like this...ever.;)
    The stock config for the Fleet Kamagh, before I changed it to the current appeareance, looks like this:

    Maybe there's some reasonable explanation (I'm thinking Gremlins with a few buckets of paint) but it kinda eludes me ATM.
