Star Trek Online Ship Design
Here a few Ships designed for the Star Trek Online MMO. Opinions?
Info on th Excalibur
Info on the Type-VII
Info on the Oslo
Info on the NX-91001
And a few screenshots of kitbash-frankenstein-abominations......

I personnally think that the only ship which isn't a total failure is the Excalibur-class. It is a rather well done hommage to the Constitution but still I reserve judgement until I see her from a few different angles. What seems obvious is that the ships seem to lack detail and there are quite a few who look kitbashed.
The game is set about 30-40 years after Nemesis which means that all familar ships - even Sovereigns for example - are now old or in need of refits and the new designs....well, judge for yourself. I remain highly sceptical but hopefully I will be proven wrong.

I agree; the NX-91001 just looks like a lazily tweaked Sovereign, and the Oslo looks like an Akira mated with a Norway.Atekimogus wrote:I personnally think that the only ship which isn't a total failure is the Excalibur-class.

Re: Star Trek Online Ship Design
Hmm...much wank I sense in this. I wonder if they'll be able to break into the WoW/EVE Online monopoly though.
Edit: Love how the Feds have a bunch of new ships but the rest are still using the same old stuff.

Good grief! What engine are they using? This looks like Elite Force FFS!

Well it's nice to know they didn't waste a lot of money on ship design.

That second one looks like a Power ranger robot.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Everyone knows that only the good guys advance in tech. That is why the Feds will rule the universe. Benevolently of course.
Is there a release date yet?

Re: Star Trek Online Ship Design
I was excited about this game. Now after seeing these ships I have no enthusiasm about it at all. If they want me to pay $15 a month in perpetuity to play this game I need to have a decent looking ship to do it in. These abortions will not cut it.
