Chekov is also 4 years older in the new films, he was born in 2241 in the alternate timeline. The prime version was born in 2245 this makes him effectively an older brother.
NX-Epsilon, like NX-Alpha, NX-Beta etc would be the Name of the ship not the Class while it was a test ship. Prototype ships (unlike test ships) are not given a Class until it goes into service/production and they are often named after the first ship in the Class, e.g. USS Galaxy, USS Sovereign, USS Defiant etc. What I am…
My personal headcanon/theory is that the USS Franklin was originally called the NX-Epsilon considering the NX-Delta was the warp 3 prototype and the NX-class ships are the first warp 5 capable ships. This is assuming the NX Project took only a single ship to get from Warp 3 to Warp 4. Following the Greek alphabet…
How did you get 21 days for a ship? At 50 tokens per day and 3000 needed for the ship Coupon, that's 60 days (not taking into account the double token days) per ship.
Personally I don't find the Featured TFO's a good idea especially three back to back, forcing players to play the same TFO mission over and over again for 14 days sucks the enjoyment out of playing the game. I barely managed to get to the end of the last Featured TFO, as it became such a chore logging to play the TFO, and…
I was replying to the topic of procedural content rather than the Foundry itself. Space missions similar to the old removed exploration missions could still be implemented by Cryptic (not by users.) Using mechanics that are currently being used in certain TFO missions, for example enter a system, visuals are picked from a…
The performance is terrible for me using the Geforce fps display I am getting 10 fps in the Character Creation Screen and 48 fps on the Tailor: Who tested this?
They do still seem to have some procedural content in STO as certain TFO's randomize certain elements of the mission. Day's of Doom seems to randomize the enemies attacking the starbase, along with the nebula's visuals, and on the Battle of Procyon V the enemies seem to be random. Whether or not these are done in a similar…
It is probably a left over asset originally created during the Perpetual Entertainment days, (the company that originally had the STO license until they went bankrupt), when Cryptic Studios took over they inherited the art assets. The Sacagawea class from that concept art also looks like the Aquarius class.
Did anyone else notice the conversation the Doctor had with Himself sounded like Tom Baker (I found the moment in the reaction video and Peter Capaldi does a great impression of Tom Baker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=anzGYuRYolI#t=664
Yeah I was going for the AWACS style pod on the Phoenix when I designed the Celestial variant. I've just mocked up an Envoy style variant with a center nacelle:
I don't understand why Eaves' concept art is even in that blog, the section before it it mentions the goals of the project, and yes while one of them is to create a fusion of originality and familiarity, later in the blog it mentions that the Visual Language was applied to existing ships as a starting point and not to…
What I am getting at is the fact that Taco said none of the concept art was John Eaves work, it was from their own in house Concept Artist while that may be true for the early intelligence ship concept art, it appears not to be true for that 1st piece of concept art as the perspective is identical to John's art. What I'm…
That is rather damning evidence that the Cryptic Concept Artist has 'borrowed' concepts from John Eaves. It also brings doubt on the fact that they said it was purely coincidental the connection between the Aquarius and the Sacagawea class designed by Ryan Denning if the Concept Artist has been borrowing other concept art.
I'm not talking about the texture specifically I'm talking about the quality of the model and texture mapping look at these areas I've highlighted on the Scryer Class: [URL="[URL]http://oi61.tinypic.com/2r3a15d.jpg[/URL]"][/url]http://oi61.tinypic.com/2r3a15d.jpg I can understand that they are using the same textures as…
Is it me or is the Scryer Intel Science Vessel based on the perpetual science ship concept art as the saucer shape is almost identical? I know the Aquarius Destroyer is also an older design, the Sacagawea class concept art
I want Picard as my defence lawyer (if measure of a man is anything to go by): "Your Honour, the courtroom is a crucible. In it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product, the truth for all time. Now, sooner or later, this man or others like him will succeed in replicating Commander Data. And the…
