mmm... well.. as i mentioned in a similar thread. it's not so much the 'simplistic' look of the nacelles, it's their mounting on the pylons with me.
-
Yes and No.. if it were a standalone 'Sequel' (for lack of a better word) to STO set purely within the Kelvin Timeline? perhaps.. but outside of that i don't picture any more muddying up what Cryptic already has... Plus CBS may never approve.
-
i kinda wish cryptic would list which marks a particular STF provided so folks could check at a glance when they're scrolling through the list.. "choice of marks" is rather ambiguous..
-
hey i went with gallivanting about in a "wrath of khan" era uniform.
-
well now, i didn't expect this topic to explode like it did (walk away for a day or two i suppose).:pensive: Offhand? i'm guessing it's keeping with the era's design ethos, but the Nacelles, more specifically where they're attached to the Pylons? like thus: kiiinda just float there, like.. not very robust at all. I suppose…
-
Because google. :/
-
Bit hard to say, after getting a Glimpse of the Ent-J though? kiiinda takes points off of AoY's quality, just looks unfinished if you ask me. :P
-
i wouldn't mind seeing Kelvin era variants on ships we've already seen or have.. EG: Lifetime subber's: Kelvin Timeline Chimera. y'know, TRIBBLE like that.. also? Shuttles. lots and lots of shuttles. I know cryptic's ability to deal with the powers that be might be constrained, but one can hope they're given more…
-
they're a pain in the butt, but 'not that hard' and you only have to do them the once.. unless you have multiple ToS alts. :P
-
i have a few that i've buggerised around with over the years, but i think i'll make a proper go of it come AoY hits and i can make a proper main that does all of the things.
-
During server downtime? considering Australian TZ's? Sleep. Prolly sleep.
-
folks will know for sure (and would most likely be rather salty over it regardless) as soon as the powers that be come up with a new TV series Post TNG/Destruction o' Romulus - which won't happen any time soon but hope the new series next year will help get interest back up in star trek series in general because you'd…
-
So... different types of Salt, then? Iodised Salt, Sea Salt Kosher Salt non-iodised Salt. Himalyan Pink Salt Blue Salt Black Salt Rock Salt Cooking Salt etc etc.. :P
-
we'll start prepping the popcorn, i'm sure plenty of folks will bring the salt.
-
This discussion hath arisen before, i believe Caitians were mentioned for the majority of it because of ze animooted series~ Again i'm personally like: "eh, would've been nice to use that C-Store kitty but whatevs, just roll Andorian and be done with it."
-
As far as i can gather, "Soft Canon" is as good of an term for it, but i feel they try to treat it as close to possibly being canon as they can for the sake of feeling "Authentic". Still, yeah.. STO is very much its own thing.. Its own timeline if you will.
-
A friend pointed out to me that STO and the JJ-Abrams flicks/Kelvin Timeline are sorta canonically joined at the hip (as far as STO is concerned anyway) given how the destruction of Romulus was a catalyst for a lot of the game's story missions even very early on (hobus was always part of STO canon). That said as far as…
-
Now, i think the question is "why isn't [X] race in AoY", i think the better one would be.. "will there be anything along the lines of c-store races, and ones already unlocked via the C-store like the Caitians available to ToS Federation?" That said, Cryptic's kinda living up to their name when it comes to the finer…
-
it's a market and the value fluctuates, right now it's roughly 470/480 dil per zen. i'd say it's settling down a smidge by now.
-
well, the Narada was originally something (mining vessel i think) before it become a nest of spindly things... why not use that and have it be Rom's first actual carrier?
-
i think my rom will be sticking with the warbird dreads, me thinks.
-
ooooh, Threshold.. i think some folks are still trying to forget that. ;)
-
hey gotta have salt with the popcorn, neh?
-
Because Star Trek in general, for whatever medium it's under, whatever era, timeline, series, and so on.. Will cater to the tastes of someone that isn't you it's like ice cream, everybody has their favourite flavour, and some don't like others.. just because folks don't like JJ Abram's stuff doesn't make it less Trek..…
-
"these are the voyages of the USS Rocksalt...." We'll prolly see Kelvin Timeline INSPIRED ships gracing the C-store once they have ones that fit within the various niches for sci/tac/eng specs, and so on. So i'm not overly fussed.
-
aaand that's why i ante'd up for LTS..
-
idea for a Dilithium sink: new ship skins/parts.. which i reckon would be a boon to some Klingon players as they're still a little light on that, but nacelle, saucer, etc alternatives would be nice, and if you can earn it via dilithium over zen (even on c-store ships) that might bring a more of a sense of "this is my ship"…
-
to be honest i'd be more interested in any design inspirations 'Kelvin Timeline' ships will have on newer vessels. strangely enough i don't like some of the newer ship designs coming out, the 26th century designs don't really grab me all that much and the 31st don't set my world on fire, either. it boils down to personal…
-
whenever i see these types of threads, i always picture the stereotypical fat english gent getting his handlebar mustache ruffled as he wriggles his jowls in indignation over the idea of it. "Kelvin Timeline ships in MY Trek game.. That's Boulderdash, pure poppycock!" as the monocle drops into his tea~ If CBS approves of…
-
wishing for the two KT ships is all good and fine, but honestly i wouldn't mind seeing a gamut of ships sharing the same design ethos to fill the niches for sci/tac/eng, and a few variants inbetween. as well as the aforementioned Vengeance n' Connie.
