Also attached, is a treat for the more visually acute people in the crowd

Yeah, that was already noted in a previous video lol. About 10 pages back.

that was just a normal constitution refitted

Secondary hull lines look distinctly JJ style to me, along with the "flatness" for the underside of the saucer, and the design of the neck.

Dalek · « **Reply #783 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:46:25 PM »

Thats definitely JJ influenced. Look at where the pylons connect to the secondary hull. It's right on the edge.

Well, that was confusing. So...Is this game supposed to take place in the JJ timeline, or the Prime timeline? :wtf

Ryles · « **Reply #785 on:** October 17, 2009, 11:13:14 PM »

The destruction of Romulus takes place in the prime time line, this takes place several years after that.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #786 on:** October 17, 2009, 11:27:19 PM »

I concur with Phaser's confusion. If Star Trek Online is supposed to be in the prime timeline, why the hell is there JJ-ified TMP Enterprise flying around in the 25th century? The JJ Enterprise shouldn't even be in the prime timeline, and the Connie in general shouldn't be around in the 25th century (Fanboi ship not withstanding).

Dalek · « **Reply #787 on:** October 18, 2009, 08:38:45 AM »

You know, I was thinking that its because the changes Nero makes doesn't have a huge effect on the future timeline, thus leaving us with a relatively normal universe but a slightly different Connie.

Thats one possibility.

OR:

This is an alternate timeline where Nero's attempts to change things go wrong, thus leaving George Kirk alive and giving James a normal life, and everything goes on normally.

I wouldn't exactly call pimping out the starships as we like normal..

it opens interesting possibilities, but I'm already expecting horribly disfigured ships..

I'm afraid that this will be Star Trek meets fast and the furious with a bit of KOTOR II ground battles.

Dalek · « **Reply #789 on:** October 18, 2009, 10:53:04 AM »

Remember, it is YOU, the player who customises the ships. All you do is get the original and then bump it to your hearts content.

Lionus · « **Reply #790 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:36:03 AM »

Indeed. I wonder if there will be a constellation class.. I'd love to see what you could do to that one in STO. :evil

Dalek · « **Reply #791 on:** October 18, 2009, 11:46:03 AM »

Well, there is the Cheyenne which is the closest thing to a Constellation class in basic shape. From the pics I've seen, you can give it 3 nacelles instead of the normal 4 and a triangular shaped hull with torpedoes in the front. Thats only because of the saucer design though.

It probably is just there for the fans who would otherwise cry "foul" if it weren't.

I can't stop lol'ing at that so called Galaxy Class!

Ryles · « **Reply #798 on:** October 21, 2009, 08:56:48 PM »

Not the best perspective they could have used.

Psyco Diver · « **Reply #799 on:** October 22, 2009, 02:20:59 AM »

That connie looks good at least.

I remember reading when they were designing this game that you could link up with other peope to be your engineers, tacitcal officers, ect. I was thinking that would be cool, cause you could go into a chat and be like "I need someone to take on engineering for this mission, pays X amount" they distribute repairs, power, shields, maybe even secondary targeting also. Doesn't mean you have to do this to get a ship, but to earn extra cash on the side. That or you try to handle it and use the AI
