Oh, believe me, I would jump back to this in a New York minute if I didn’t have other stuff on my plate right now. You guys are doing a great job reminding me why I liked it in the first place. And seriously, keep the spaceship pictures coming.

If you insist - here is a shot of my newest ship since I hit Commander, the Starfarer class heavy cruiser U.S.S. Viking.
Maxed out my Tactical captain tonight , here is my VA1 Defiant.

Gonna work on a new Engineer character now. :)
Great picture lordkosc. I’d desktop it if it was 1680x1050 or higher.
USS Dawkins reporting for duty.
Going in weapons hot.
I’m not a pervert in RL, I just play one in STO.
Its here if you need it (@ 1080p)
My Tactical Escort Retrofit coming out of Spacedock.
HAX! we all know they magically spawn outside of spacedock! :p
Anyway , I am playing as a Engineer now, just hit Lt.Cmdr 14, and am really liking how the cruisers fight, slow duke out’s in space are amazing to watch.

Yeah, my main is a tactical officer, but I’ve always preferred using a cruiser for it’s survivabilty.
Actually, just warp into Earth orbit and approach the Spacedock doors. :P
I have to admit, I couldn’t get into this. I say that as quite the Trek fan.
Mostly I was finding the ground-based engine so oh-so-clunky. I sorely wish this had just been done as a singleplayer Star Trek RPG type game, or Fleet Command IV with RPG elements, or something.
Yep i do it every time :)
It’s much improved from the state it was in at launch. I’ve even been playing the ground Arenas and they’re pretty fun.
I tried it last week. I’m shuddering to imagine the state of ground missions at at release.
Ground missions were horrible up till season 4, even now they aren’t great, but from what they were, its easily 5x better than before.
They pretty much need to get every mission in game up to the level of quality that is presented in the featured episodes.
