This isn't a "bug report" so don't move it there,..
It really drives me crazy that not a single person can open the damn texture up and switch the format of the windows on the Galaxy Dred when it separates. it's obviously just a transparency issues, but it's been years now and no one seems to give a TRIBBLE enough to fix it. This is the flag ship for most of us growing up, the "Enterprise D" Deserves a bit more respect then to constantly be ignored.
I don't want excuses or another lame add on, how about fixing what you already fouled up first!

You didn't listen to the first reply to this thread, man.
That means it is not an exclusive problem and extends not to just how this one ship operates, but possibly how many ships under the same descriptive umbrella seem to work (for example, any ship that has a piece that comes off as part of game mechanics).

I'm not a MAN,... you boy! I'm a girl get that right! Secondly I've made games before, this is nothing that won't take but 10 mins to fix. Their just lazy!
Uh just to jump in here, 1) Almost everyone thinks anyone online is a man until proven otherwise so no need to be snippy.
2) I build games, apps and even worked on MMO's. Just because you've built games doesn't mean you have an understanding of the MMO environment. It is not in any way the same thing.

In all seriousness though, I've done some novice texture and mesh work myself for STA2, and I would concur with summerrenobaum in that it shouldn't take them long to fix the detail in question.
I fear the problem is (as per usual); they're focusing on all of the new ship releases. Whilst it's great to see new content added, many of us are already attached to the older content, and that should be looked after just as much as the new. Short of the Intrepid (which, from Tribble Screenshots looks lovely now) when was the last time they went back and reworked an old design?
That's a sexist assumption to make and complaining about it is justified.
I clicked on it but then refused to sit through the 15-second ad for Red Lobster :eek:
True and it's 100% accurate. The majority of users online is male, the majority of players that play MMO's are male.
Sorry that's just the statistics :P

I agree with what you said sir and/or ma'am.
First of all, taking major offense to such a minor social fubar suggest that you have very little else to argue against them. Since we have no way of discerning your gender besides you us actually telling us, we have to make a guess. Since gender is (mostly) binary, we generally make one of two choices:
-Make an educated guess on what gender you are based on where on the web you are located, and previous post. (your location being on an MMORPG website, which has stereo-typically been a male domian)
OR
-Default to mirror what gender we assign ourselves onto whoever we are speaking. (I.E. seeing an unknown figure as male, because we are male, until told otherwise)
Thus, online, unless you annotated every post you make with a female symbol, it is safe to assume that we might refer to you in a male context. This is not meant to be insulting. This is just us as a community attempting to communicate with you in ways that makes sense to us. Also, at least in a majority of the United States, referring to a group of people as "guys" or "dudes" is perfectly acceptable, even in a mixed gendered group.
Second of all, the issue is alot larger than just one ship. A lot of ships need a texture pass. Since you are not a developer within this game, you are on the outside looking in. Therefore, you attribute any shortcomings as internally motivated (I.E. The Devs are lazy. They are incompetent, etc.). However, when the roles are reversed, and it is YOU in a sticky situation, you will view things as externally motivated (I am overwhelmed, I need more resources, etc.) So, this clearly falls into the viewer bias.
Also, if you believe that this is so easy to fix, and have previous experience in the field, please send a resume to Cryptic studios and asked for a position there. You claim to love this game. You claim that you can fix this problem. Thus, NOT offering to fix this problem either show contempt for this game or incompetence on your part.
Just to jump in here where you jumped in, it's 2014. You should probably not make that assumption and you shouldn't be defending those who do make that assumption. The snippiness is deserved in light of posts like yours.
Yeah and in 2014 for online MMORPGs, females still make up less than 33% of online gamers for MMOs. So yeah it's an actual good assumption. So no need to be jumping down his throat.

Consider this...
Falling back on statistics like these (and majority can be anything from 51% to 99% provided everyone answered those surveys truthfully and there weren't a bunch of women saying they're men to avoid harassment) helps create an environment where everyone is assumed to be male.
In an environment where everyone is assumed to be male, women who are offended by anything from being called the wrong pronoun to inappropriate jokes are told that it is a male-dominated environment and to adjust to that.
Ultimately the women who come to these environments feel unwelcome, and leave. Everyone who remains there says "Well it's just us dudes here" and continue to act in ways that make women feel unwelcome.
So any new women who wander in leave for the same reasons.
And so an environment that is mostly (which again, can be from 51%-99% if women are responding truthfully and not keeping a low profile to avoid trouble) male will stay mostly male.
I've lost track, is this thread about STO/Internetz gender identification or problems with the look of the Galaxy in separation mode???

I've already offered to make a few ships FREE OF CHARGE to cryptic, they've declined to even see them. So not only are they lazy, they are blind to even look at people's help when given to them. Work for them? To be honest, I don't know if I want to. I love the game, but the 'Hey, people are still paying to use this glitch,... so why bother fixing it' mentality, doesn't work for me. Some parts of this game is amazing, but that philosophy isn't me, i don't produce TRIBBLE.
I'll make one last offer,.. I offer to make one Federation Dreadnought in exchange for a life-time subscription if you use it. I guarantee it will be better then anything you have in the game now. I know how to use polygons correctly and on a limited basis. I can UV map, Light map, bump map,... anything you want.
Someone show this to cryptic,.. I doubt they will respond though.
I am shutting down this thread because there is literally no purpose to this post but for the OP to vent and attack our staff.
