There's also a rather prominently displayed Sutherland-class. That deflector is unmistakable. Perhaps it's just a nod to the game, but it may also mean that some elements of STO are official canon now.

The 2380's uniforms would be nice.

An interesting side note I noticed, in First Contact, it had been mentioned that the borg queen had been onboard the Locutus cube during Best of Both Worlds. The trajector in the queen's chamber in this episode may provide a backhanded explanation as to how she escaped that cube before it exploded, and also may explain…

I find all of this doom and gloom amusing. Way back when in the misty days of yore, the DOFF assignment to trade contraband for 2,000 dilithium ore had a four-hour cooldown and everyone had a nice little grind going. Then Cryptic adjusted the assignment to have a 20-hour cooldown and everyone predicted the death of the…

obviously this is all a secret plot by the chinese survivors of the third inner-earth war fought between the mole-men and the lizard-people to conceal the fact that the Roswell crash was not actually aliens, but was in fact a top secret prototype flying saucer super aircraft built as a joint German/American effort post…

The fact that Cryptic can no longer afford to maintain the foundry does not bode well for the future of the game as a whole. If they can no longer afford the man-hours to keep the foundry running then it means that either the personnel with the expertise to maintain it have been terminated, or have quit of their own…

While it is true that the Odyssey is a fan-made design, the design that would become the Odyssey was the runner-up for the "Design the next Enterprise" contest that was held by Cryptic and sanctioned the CBS (The original winner of the contest was vetoed by CBS). In order to avoid the very issues you brought up, such as…
-
I would surmise that if the Enterprise-F is mentioned in the new series, it will remain the Odyssey-class that we have come to know. The reason being is that most--if not all--content in STO must be approved by CBS in some fashion before it can go live, not the least of which would be the Enterprise. CBS approved the…

The replicator produces a roll pf wallpaper. Computer, disappointment.

The replicator creates a hysterical man being attacked by bats who runs out of the room screaming. Computer, the entire Apollo program, please.

you receive a single macaroni and exactly 500 grams of smoked gouda. (I'm going to regret this...) Computer, Ich vil hab die schwerer gustav bitte.

Oh, why not? U.S.S. Manifest Destiny.

A society is a society, be it in a video game or in the real world. The same rules apply regardless. And there was nothing political about my comment. Franklin was a philosopher more than a politician.

I don't normally get involved in these "discussions" but I feel this needs to be said: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither, and lose both." --Benjamin Franklin

I've been back and forth on tribble a few times today, and I can confirm that the new sectors are indeed present, but you can't visit them yet. It seems very much in the early stages of development, hence the somewhat haphazard appearance. The current sector map just has copy/pasted placeholders and quite a few new star…

That's true. Doug Drexler designed the NX-01 and the NX-01 refit, and cryptic has already worked with the designers of ship's that are not strictly speaking canon (Mark Rademaker on the Vesta anyone?), so it's not outside the realm of possibility that the NX refit may be coming to STO. Doug Drexler was severely…

*sigh... 'tis unfortunate, but not unexpected given the operating costs involved. I would have liked to have a physical model of my Oddy, but twas not meant to be.
-
I had this problem on tribble, and this is what worked for me: At the launcher, go to the Options tab and switch the game to safe mode. Then log in and you should have all your text back. Manually reset all your graphics settings to where you want them, then exit the game. When you log in again, the problem should be…
-
Yep. that's it. I was able to sort of fix it by launching the tribble client in safe mode, exiting the game, then relaunching the client and resetting all the options. But it only works until I log back into holodeck. If I return to tribble after holodeck I have to do the whole song and dance all over again. Very…

Lightning is washed out, contrast is shot to hell, the ship tailor is so dark I can't see a frakkin' thing, bloom is out of control, and there are ZERO reflections. And if past performance from Cryptic is any indication, it's going to go live in this condition.
-
The only explanation I can think of for the Franklin that makes any sense is that she was a United Earth vessel (Scotty even says as such) that predated the NX-01 (hence the top speed of warp 4), and she was pressed into service in the romulan wars (2156-2160). After the war when the Federation was founded the Franklin…

CBS owns the franchise, it is their property, ergo they can do whatever they want with it. Canon is whatever CBS says it is; your opinion will never, ever change that. CBS says Kelvin Timeline is canon, guess what? It's canon. End of story. That doesn't preclude people from having opinions or their own headcanon, but…
-
Of course he hasn't. He prefers to judge something he's never seen based on a biased opinion using flawed information. Rather than produce a logical, reasoned argument against the new films, he simply parrots the same cherry-picked bits of data and spouts bile and vitriol in the hopes that someone will agree with him and…

And as an added goodie, here's some images I found a while back on what McQuarrie's design might look like if done today with modern technology, just to see what she could have been:
-
If you're talking about the KT 1701-A, the nacelles seemed to be farther apart and shorter, bringing her more in line with the prime universe, the neck was slightly shorter and thicker, and the secondary hull was more cylindrical with a much more sharply pronounced fantail. Beyond that, she's pretty much the same boat on…
-
I'm on facility 4028 and I've been through the mission three times now, and I can not for the life of me find this thing. So either it's bugged or it's in a location that the player cannot access.
-
The ship was supposed to deliberately evoke the lines of the NX-01, that being just the saucer and nacelles with no secondary hiull. Given that it was an episode of Enterprise with absolutely no intention of ever being reused elsewhere. So, yes, it is a giant flying pizza cutter.

100 bucks both ways on the car!

This post is a work of art.

If I recall correctly, British Khan told Kirk that the Vengeance was two times the size, not two times the length. When talking about an object with dynamic dimensions like a starship (especially those with whacked out designs at Trek) the phrase "Two times the size" would probably mean two times the total mass. In which…
