The thing is - for "viewing pleasure", it doesn't matter if it was amazing compared to other CGI of its age. Its competition wasn't just CGI, it was shows working with models. I think one could argue that the strength of B5 might actually have been the animations or "maneuverability" of its ships. Because of how big…

I've watched the first two episodes, and I liked it so far. Looks really good, they have a great cast, and so far I liked the story they told. Time will tell if it can keep up, though some reviewers seem pretty happy. It's been a while since I read the novels, so I don't remember much of the details. I expected them to…

Cooperative with the Jem'Hadar/Dominion model seems to make the most sense for a new faction. People really want to play Borg, it doesn't matter what rationales are speaking against it, such rationales are about as useful as saying "The Constitution class is obsolete and shouldn't be a viable endgame ship". Cooperative is…

Well, technically speaking: If you don't have a DirectX 11 capable computer, the game simply can't run anymore at that point. Because you don't have the soft- and hardware components the game needs to run. That the launcher informs you about this and then closes is kinda a mere courtesy, they could just let you try to…

I think Cryptic is fundamentally aware that there will be players that can't or won't make the neccessary switch. But they have been working at raising the visual fidelity of the game over time to keep it fresh enough that they can keep players and even get new ones despite being an old game. And they know that is very…

True, though I am not sure that would create any bias in favor of a particular direction. That said, it's mostly for our personal guesstimation - Cryptic probably knows far better what its users are using and how many would be affected.

This reminds of when they stopped supporting 32 Bit... Some uncertainity among users, and some people spewing strange things about lawsuits and how hard- and software in the past was better and what not. If you use what I am thinking you use to defend your nudes, I think I know how to get to your nudes. Well, in theory. I…

Well, I know they listened in the past, because things in the past happened that were response to feedback. Several changes to powers for example. I figure they still listen. But fundamentally, we can only tell them what we think or feel, but their response is up to them. They take into consideration what their "metrics"…

The theme is growing on me, and the ship definitely works for me. Interestingly, this seems almost easier to translate into STO than the Lower Decks California class, because the animation style makes the ship pretty close to what it would probably look in a non-animated show. It's size might be a problem. Maybe they'll…

It looks good, but ultimately, for my own hero ship, I strongly suspect I would not use any TOS parts, especially since I already have so many options with the Clarke. This might be genuinely a ship I'd skip. I probably wouldn't skip on a Tier 6 Pioneer...

Alternatively, the Mirror Terrans build their windows to filter out more light, because that's more comfortable to them.

The point of forums is to provide a place for people that like to go to forums for the games they are mostly already playing. These people automatically talk about stuff that's mentioned on facebook, twitch, twitter and so on, because there is always someone that uses the forum and the other medium. The people playing the…

Yes, that looks good. When does the next Star Trek show (whatever it is) start. I am getting star-trek hungry.
-
I dunno, I has the kind of ugly duckling design I can grow to like. Though the problem with ships like that is always the lack of customization options. I like to have stuff to play around with.

One of the interesting things about those detached nacelles and force fields... All matter holding together is pretty much all about force fields. electromagnetic forces keeping the electrons in orbitals around the nuclear core, the strong nuclear force holding the proton and neutrons in the core together, the weak nuclear…

Wasn't her name just recently added already, I think I read it in the recent patch notes? Check the full list of names. She'd probably not make it on the name plaque because she wasn't part of a Star Trek main cast. (And I hate to realize this, but the plaque will inevitably get more names if STO keeps on going... :( )
-
Not exactly epic screens, but I think a pretty interesting kitbash if you consider what all the variants of this ship class look like in isolation. https://imgur.com/gallery/ikjDt1a

Gravimetric Torpedoes, Plasma-Emission Torpedoes and Quantum Phase Torpedoes tend to get more out of Spread, and since this are three torpedo types I use often, Torpedo Spread it is.
-
Whatever drawbacks the design of detached nacelles have - Starfleet probably considered the benefits worth it, otherwise they woludn't have done so. Even if the writers don't know, there is nothing in the show that really suggests it's a problem. On that note - pretty much the only time the nacelle pylons and the…

Try this. You might need to disable your ad blocker. https://intl.startrek.com/videos/watch-star-trek-picard-season-2-first-look (got the link from the r/startrek reddit.) "Welcome to the very end of the road not taken"... Tapestry II: The Season?

Regarding black holes as energy source: Hawking Radiation to produce energy similar to what was occassionally stated for the output of a matter/antimatter warp core would lead to a really very, very small black hole. So small in fact that it's difficult to feed, because you basically have to hit it directly, and it's…

I do call TRIBBLE on that. You can curse however fracking much you want, and still have a solid argument. Reasonable people can curse. Actually, it appeared in the pilot as if he actually had not talked about his problems with Starfleet at all. But he left them, when they could have needed him, and just shortly before he…

Some updates break the old ships, because they basically split a part of the old ship in multiple parts. I didn't realize that this had also happened with the Negh'var, though. But with the old D7 it's easily seen - before the Year of Klingon updates to it, it didn't have interchangeable parts. Now it has. I think with the…

I missed the information that we were supposed to have the ships shoot each other in the briefing text. Maybe it isn't even there? I haven't rechecked yet. And once I am in the match, I just don't notice all the voice work, unforuntately, so I only realized later what I am supposed to do. I think the idea to have the…

I always thought Voyager did leave before the Dominion announced itself, but if it left after, it seems very likely that it was a big reason to avoid the Gamma Quadrant. The Dominion was clearly hostile to people crossing their space, and it seems unavoidable that they would have to do so. Of course, the other thing might…

I really liked it overall. It brought us a lot of cool Klingon design overhauls, both for ships and uniforms, character design like hair. I also overall like the new storyline, particularly the Klingon mythology stuff. KLingon Recruitment was also great. I hope that burning the faction barriers for ships will also lead to…
-
I really dig that transporter pad.
-
If you like the design and enjoy Science Vessels (or want to try them), pretty much any Multi-Mission Science Vessel is good. The only flaw this ship might have is that they are not "full-spec" ships.
-
Possible. But it's always nice seeing the community come out and try to offer help to struggling players.

Babylon 5 is a brilliant show. It has its flaws, and it will show its age, but it had a really strong story line with plenty of good character arcs. Babylon 5 story was well plotted in advance, and that pays off well. The weakest season is probably the last, because they had to rush major storylines in season 4 because all…
