Maybe it was left over and they forgot to remove it.

[Joshmaul]

Just did the last Devidian mission.

...man, that was anticlimactic...

[Tuskin38]

I liked the episode rewards....
 One them does something cool when equipped while using the Triolic Enhancer Field.

[Joshmaul]

Don't get me wrong, I love interacting with the legends of the past, but...all that work for a few guns?

If they're planning on releasing a T5 TOS Enterprise, I WANT IT NOW.

[Tuskin38]

They are, but its on hold

Also hints around the forum from DStahl, that in a couple weeks they're going to start a "Design the Enterprise F" contest.

I'd totally try... if I had an artistic bone in my body.

Quick! Someone tell DJ Curtis to submit a design proposal for an ingame Enterprise-F (err, aint that his Century Class?!?!)

[ACES_HIGH]

yeah, I have to admit, this one wasn't quite as good as "Everything old is new again."

[Joshmaul]

While the Century class might fit in this timeline, it would also become trademarked Cryptic/CBS material. Don't want that, they'd get possessive.

[majormagna]

So? Isn't the Constitition class trademarked by CBS/Paramount? We can use that freely in any game that didn't have it in to begin with.

And ACES, I agree. BUT still better than normal missions. Overall I think Season 2 was better than Season 1.

[Joshmaul]

That's not what I mean. If you give a design you created yourself and put a lot of work into, it becomes theirs, and you're swept under the rug. I've seen it far too often.

[Nebula]

eh maybe maybe not... you recall the contest for the design of the Titan?

[Dalek]

That was different. Sean had designed his idea of the Titan for the competition. DJ designed the Century for the BC community, free of charge.

[ACES_HIGH]

they aren't going to come to his house in suits and demand that he remove it from BCFiles, if that's what you're thinking.  As long as nobody tries to sell it, the design is still free to use.

The sector space revamp on Tribble is... WOW! Just Wow! This is how I imagined STO would be! The nacelle grills are brighter when in sector space, they don't glow more when going faster, like they did in an experimental stage, which looked ugly. (But IMO they should only glow more while accelerating) And the toggle-able 'astrometrics' is brilliant.

Also included is a Z-axis update, you can now climb at 60 degrees rather than 45. Now they just need to sort out the Intrepid (& variants) nacelle positions and the Quantum slipstream effect.

Bugs on the server include the dreaded 'ship falling through space' (only for a split second though). and the camera returning to the previous view after warp/beam out.

Which, funny enough, were bugs during the Beta + First couple months.

[majormagna]

I do recall that; but they're not anywhere near as bad as in Beta.

The sectors have remained the same size, and speeds remain unchanged; yet the sectors feel bigger and, due to the epic prettyness, it seems to take less time to travel. Illusions FTW.

[Tuskin38]

according to Stormshade, the NX Bundle pack will also have its item's sold separately. and that buying the pack will be more then "a little bit cheaper" then buying them separately.

According to the numbers I've seen, saying it will be, "A bit cheaper," would be understating the facts, in my opinion.

Thanks,

Stormshade

The Vesta class may be added to STO

The Vesta class may be added to STO

As well as the Oberth, Ambassador and "Future Enterprise ships"

Note: Annoyed they STILL haven't sorted out NPC Vesper class cruisers being labelled Excalibur class (And vice versa)

[Tuskin38]

According to Dstahl

Our immediate attention is on getting the Foundry available on TRIBBLE possibly as early as next Monday so that we could enter Open Beta with the tools. That is our next hurdle with the Foundry and one the software team is working feverishly to hit.

They are aiming for Open beta (on tribble) of the Foundry next monday. Can't wait.

It is going to be the station as seen in Search for Spock - as it is iconic and while old, is very recognizable to fans. The logic is that the old station is still around and if the new station was destroyed, they'd start using the old station again... Expect the new station to get destroyed sometime between now and season 4

Woo! Old ESD
