The main exhausts of the impulse engines are shielded at the back. All the cross sections and deck plans (which were visable on the show) have it like this. I like to think that the red glows at the side are additional exhausts for excess heat from the impulse reactors, but the main impulse exhausts are shielded.

I'll say hi! :P

To add another factor into this, there is a paradigm shift in what people are willing to pay for entertainment now. More and more people are downloading movies and music without paying for it and with F2P games, many players are getting used to not paying. This ofcourse causes issues when they still want high budget…

I've tried to replicate this but couldn't. Although I did notice the LCARS navigation bars on this article don't scale well at low resolutions. If you can provide a screenshot on imgur or some other image hosting site that would be great ;-)

This regulation is pretty much directed at the mobile games market where in app purchases directly take money from peoples bank accounts or Apple store accounts with little or no clarification that it is doing that (hence why you have parents freaking out where their kids spend huge amounts of money without realizing it).…

The developers give regular interviews on podcasts and the CM's do regular live streams showcasing new content and sometimes discussing what is coming up as well. Many of the developers are on Facebook, the STO Facebook page does regular contests as well to interact with the layers and some devs are on Twitter as well…

I'm doing a redesign of my starcharts to take into account the changes to the exploration clusters and to prepare for the expansion. Due to this I'm looking at feedback to what information players may deem useful on the map, or even feedback on features people may feel could be altered to make it easier to use. For example…

Just checking the dev tracker, 9 Cryptic and PWE employees were active on the forum responding to posts in the last 24 hours. The devs are here, they just don't respond to every thread, thus unless you don't use the dev tracker it's easy to miss the posts and assume they arn't here. ;-)
-
A quick look at the dev tracker shows activity from the developers on a daily basis. Sometimes players simply miss the posts of staff members whilst debating amongst themselves as well :-) To be honest I've followed this game for about 10 years now and for a few of those held the position of moderator. There has certainly…

The Insectoid ship is actually my favorite Xindi ship. Ironically I got my model from the Star Trek Starships magazine the day the lockbox went live, so in a way I got my insectoid ship :-P
-
My 2 slips of latinum on this. There are a few factors that can prevent devs from posting, these include:- * Care in not spilling beans on content before it is confirmed, after all, this usually leads to claims of developers been untruthful. * The dev's are actually working! When a dev is at work they are usually busy and…

Personally I'm hoping it will be somewhat similar to the one used in Neverwinter. More so if they link it up with Gateway so you can work on it via a browser and not have to be in-game. This would also link in nicely with monetization, with profession packs on the C-store which would have rarer materials and Doffs used for…

Same here, I was a bit skepital of having 7 missions condensed into 4, but after playing the new arc I must admit I prefer it was more! The flow is so much better and the quality of the maps in awesome, infact I'm really looking forward to the other arc revamps now. Once that is done the player experiance from tutorial to…

Sadly it's all legal issues. I don't think anyone at Cryptic doubts the creativity of Trek fans, but with so many laws in every country regarding work, it only takes one fan to submit something and then sue Cryptic for using something they created without paying them to mess it all up! Star citizen is doing a great job…

Seems way to overpowered for the small ship we saw in the series, the fleet variant is also too powerful when compared to the one it's meant to upgrade. It was depicted in the series as a small ship for getting the crew home fast, whereas the stats you have listed here are more in line with it been designed to rival ships…

It was an absolute pleasure working alongside you as a volunteer moderator and it really is such a shame you are leaving! You will be sorely missed by everyone in the office! I know for sure we will hook up in STO, especially with all the upcoming content, especially redacted. Lets see what the future brings in regards to…

I'll see if I have time to load up Spacedock in 3DSmax later to extrapolate the habitable area, but a few important things to consider:- * Comparing to a citys area is problematic, since citys have buildings that have multiple floors abive the ground, ESD doesn't (so make sure this is properly taken into account) *…

Really great thread, love the way you broke each sector down. Lets hope the devs read this and eventually add the missing sector block next to the sirius Sector Block :-)

I actually find the link quite a stretch. The Elachi appeared in Enterprise and were said to live in subspace. The solanogen-based lifeforms in Schisms were said to live deep in subspace, it seems that the 2 races live in subspace is the main link to them been associated with each other (which does make sence somewhat).…

It's far to early to claim it a failure or not, but from my own observations I logged in and was told to imeediatly report to the Dyson's sphere where we'd set up abase of operations to fight the Voth over Omega particles. This was a big 'whaaaaat?' moment for me. I'd played sphre of influence and understood there was a…

I think you need to alter the end of the post, surely you mean 'Voth' lockbox? ;-)
-
Totally agree, the Federation is already engaged on too many fronts anyway. To be honest, with the way my own captain has already killed millions of people already, as well as the way people on these forums seem to have no remorse about killing 35 million people (as long as they are serving in a military branch), I…
-
I'll be blankly honest, the dinosaur thing is an issue that will most likely result in me uninstalling STO and leaving the game, which is sad, since I've been here since closed beta. As some others pointed out earleir in this thread, if they were in 1 episode in the game it wouldn't be so bad, but when they are going to be…
-
I was actually referring to Gagen, NOT the Voth leadership, when he accessed Voyagers Databases if he'd seen creatures that used to live on earth that he knew from everyday life amongst his own culture surely that would of been on interest to him as evidence of thier origin? I'm fully aware of how the Voth leadership were…
-
Makes no sence to me at all, in Distant Origins, they scanned Voyagers Databases. Surely after scanning the databases they would of noticed that the referance to Dinosaurs would of been identical to all these beasts they have, more so since they were most interested in this infomration about Earths past, instead they came…
-
Still a bit miffed about the name change of the old Avenger, but something else occurs to me, that been the storyline. We keep getting told that all these new ships been made are due to the war, to the point that we have new C-store ships that make old C-store ships obsolete. In theory this makes sence, that as the war…
-
I'd rather they finish the Undine STF series to be honest. The Undine STF's were originally meant to be like the Borg ones, with an ongoing story covering a few events, but they they abandoned it and never returned (this was at the same time that they kept remaking and tweaking the original 3 Borg STF's and remaking old…
-
Kinda straying form the discussion, but does anyone else feel like this class should be called the 'Sentinal' class and the old Avenger class should keep its name? Seems wierd to take a ship thats been in the game for 3 years should have its name stripped away and given to anew C-Store ship and get renamed. Surely the new…
-
Guessing this will be a cruiser, with a tactical boff layout and the ability to load cannons. Basically Cryptics way to address peoples claims that the game is just 'Escort Online'. I can't really see what else they can do with a new cruiser to make people want to buy it other than adding cannons to be honest. Plus, KDF…
-
Kind of depressing reading that interview, really sounds like they are having issues adding new ships now. If only someone had predicted this was going to happen and could come up with a solution for it... Ship Tier Revamp Sadly I think they've released so many C-store ships now, that making alterations to the system will…
