Star Trek Online Media Update

[nhamlett]

We’ve added a new screenshot to our gallery today as well as posting the latest shots that you may have already seen on MMORPG.com. The latest, a warp core can be viewed here (http://www.startrekonline.com/screenshots). All of these screenshots are from in game and have not been modified. We hope you enjoy them.

[Varrangian]

Cool stuff. Is that a warp core in a ship or some sort of lab?

[Captain-Picard]

Awesome! I love all three screenshots, my favorite is the warp core.

[Elanel]

Wow. That's some warp core. Is it part of a complex (research facility?) or a ship? Would be a large ship if it was.

Liking these regular updates though. Nice to see the game progressing along :)

[CinC-UFPForces-Cardassia]

That's a gorgeous, gorgeous new screenshot.

Looking through the open door at the bottom left of the image, the corridor looks to be Klingon. The scientist at the console, certainly, is not a Klingon. Is it possible that this is an experimental Federation warp core in some kind of Klingon outpost? Or a large Klingon vessel?

[Hagon]

Well....... that ....is......simply.....stunning for a mmo and pre-alpha..

The art people definitely need a raise. They're doing one heck of a job in my opinion. Believe me when I say this old mmo vet doesn't gush like this often.

I'm actually getting a little verklempt.......talk amongst yourselves....

[pops64]

Sweet looking pics thx!!!!

[SpaceTigerCross]

I'm torn about my opinion of the new screenshots and here is why...

Looking at the screenshots from earlier and looking at the ship models. The earlier models seem to look more realistic. The latest ship (not sure the class, but it looks like a Soyuz Class variant) looks really cartoony. If I didn't know that it was a screenshot I would say that it is a concept art shot. That slightly turns of me off the game. Maybe it is just the light from the surroundings that make it seem so, but I don't know... I think at this point I am slightly dissapointed at the ship models. The warpcore one looks pretty nice though.

[dturne10]

The warp core looks a little too massive to be inside a ship... seems more like it would belong in a starbase. Or maybe just a MASSIVE starship. I like the look though. I like that it's not like the Next Gen warpcores, more similar to the VOY/TMP warpcores... which I thought definitely looked cooler.

I think the two screenshots that were on MMOG.com were actually concept art pics.

[whatinblueblazes]

Wow. I would love to know the story behind that warp core.

Also, I agree that the art department is outdoing themselves... even if they have been a little bit heavy on the magenta with this round. ;)

[STOZone]

I'm actually getting a little verklempt.......talk amongst yourselves....


What an obscure Mike Meyers reference. Nice.

That warp core looks friggin' cool. I can almost imagine the"whoomp whoomp" sound of the core thrumming through the deck plates.

So, uh, is it out yet? How about now? :o

[Gizmo]

All I can say is wow. I'm really loving the way this game is looking so far. Especially for a pre-alpha build. You Cryptic fokes sure know how to get a guy even more excited about dropping all the old MMOs for STO.
Those three screenshots are awesome but that warp core, just looks fantastic. Like the others, I assume its in some sort of space station/research facility?

Add another tally to the "art team needs a raise" list. :D

[Fvillha]

Ditto the WOW, great Warp Core Lab image.

Now for a romulan ship or view of a Singularity Lab or engine, ok, if nothing else a Orion girl sipping Romulan Ale.

[Lukasks]

Thx nice screenshot

[jagerbolt]

*nerdgasm* Yessss! MOAR! :D

That warp core is rad. I can't wait to see more of the new stuff.

[47Wasps]

That warp core gets my fan-fic senses tingling!
I can't wait to learn more about it,and even visit it in game^_^
(I feel so fan-boyish)

[Howard22]

AWESOME. Love the warp core one. Makes you wonder, is it from a ship or starbase? I don't even care if its from a starbase or something like that. Would be awesome to be able to walk around there, perhaps tinker with it a bit.

[haplo8]

Add me to the impressed list. And the beta tester list too while your at it! :eek:







Sorry couldn't resist.

[TrekGeek]

Ok, I know I am being greedy but I am loving the screen shots but would love to see more of it in action...any videos of gameplay coming? Or maybe it too soon.

I really like the the style of the ships..someone mentioned they were kind of cartoon-like...I think that is a pretty nice style. If they tried to go super realistic then people would complain it doesn't look real enough and it would be harder to get the performance out of the game with all that detail. Think about 40 ships fighting it out in high detail....I have a nice computer/video card but not that nice.

Anyways, looking good excited to see more!

[SelorKiith]

DANG! I love that Warp Core and those tiny little Lab Rats ;) absolutely adorable!

[Voorhees]

That warp core is cool and massive. Question tho. Why does it show things glowing around it tho hehehe should be inside the core? Verge of a warp core breach hehe. Its a cool image tho one of the best shots yet.

Cannot wait to visit it. Please show us a klingon version so i can practice my aim when i board a klingon ship to fire directly at the warp core of theirs. I need details muhahahaha

[LordDave]

You know, I see all the positive stuff and many of you know that I'm very pro "the graphics direction" that STO has. However, I can't help but dislike the warp core design. I love the color purple, but that just looks so... fake. I think it's just the way it glows, but that, to me, looks more cartoony then the other shots I've seen.
Weird I know.

[Angelphoenix12]

another great pix :). keep up the great work.

ive been looking at the warp core. to me it looks like its 1 of 2 possiblities. 1) a fed research facility, 2) thats what the inside of the klingon carrier will look like.

[E6ajc]

It's weird, LordDave, but I have the complete opposite opinion that you have. I like the warp core shot, but I hate the purple color. Funny how 1 photo can polarize opinions like that...
Anyway, I think the screen shots have been getting better and better from the beginning, and these latest 3 are great examples of it. The Miranda class ship (besides the re-use of the registry number NX 91001) looks good, the Klingon ship and asteroids look fantastic, and the warp core shot just gets me excited to play the game. I just wish it was blue. Oh well, still going to be fun to play I'm sure.

While I don't agree that it is "cartoony" the game Evil Genius does come to mind here... I think it is the guy in the lab coat hunched over the terminal that does it :D

Your playing I hope...:confused:

[Azurian]

I'm going to agree that it's either some kind of testing facility or it's on an older ship (because of it's less-than-kempt apperance).

Anyhow, I like it.

[captain_jazzy_jay]

I have to say I do not like the feel of this new warp core picture. It works... but at the same time... it doesn't. It does not really have that good ol' star trek feel of a ship... perhaps of a research facility... but not a ship. It does have that feeling though when it comes to strange new technologies that Star Trek is used to seeing. I do hope that this is not a ship.

[phifur]

Good job cryptic. Every pic look good to me .

[Duckdee]

Purty!

I'm interested in seeing how the character models will look in these enviroments. (I'm guessing they'll have been updated since the Trill was shown.)

Oh, and now I'm really expecting phaser rifles to look good for the first time ever. ;)

[thefreshjedi]

I'm guessing from the sheer size and layout that this is a warp-core experiment of some sort? I'm guessing that this is one of the new Transwarp systems possibly?

Awen can you confirm the type of core we're looking at here, or if this is an experiment of some kind?

By the way, not to get too geeky on you here, but the Lilac(Violet) Coloring would be because they are using a Potassium Chloride (K+) Matrix within the containment field. Potassium Chloride when burned is the visual spectrum of Violet (just FYI).

Blue coloring would mean that their was an Arsenic (As) Matrix within the containment field.

Check Chemistry.com: Flametests (http://chemistry.about.com/od/analyticalchemistry/a/flametest.htm) to learn more about visual spectrum tests.

-avery

[LordDave]

Your playing I hope...:confused:

Oh Yes. Just because I don't like the look of something, doesn't mean I won't explore the whole game and love it.

Some people like forests, some like deserts. Personal taste.

[Duras]

The scales a bit naff. The circular protective barrier looks like to high.
Why purple, wierd plasma colouring and the conduits look to transparent. Its bulky and lacks style and its not pleasing to the eye.
I cannot see how you could possibly change the crystals as there is only feeds from the main chamber. The support from the floor gives housing, but look at the cieling. Wheres the capping or recieving framework. I dont think much of it.

Sorry but in my IMO, its cheap. It looks like a warp core, may act as one ingame. But I would'nt want something on my ship that looks worse than the cores released in older games, that I think they look better.

They're still using dilitium Duras, it's the gas that has changed in the combustion tubes. (See my previous post regarding flametests). They've just changed the formula from Arsenic to Potassium chloride.

[amb]

Textures and details look very good (for a stylized look). Colors are quite bright but still ok. All in all I like this shot MUCH more than the previously released "screenshots". Lighting and reflection is also shown correctly here which was not the case for the space shots!

My point of few for those space shots (http://hailingfrequency.co.uk/boards/index.php?topic=1385.msg8697#new)

[47Wasps]

Graphically,it looks great.
Very detailed,and the lighting is awesome.

But I do not like the design.
It doesn't look worthy of a Federation starship
and it doesn't look like a Klingon design
I suspect its a civilian warp core,belonging to a freighter or pirate ship

Look at the image closely it is clearly not a Fed or Klingon ship. The two figures (appear human) are wearing lab coats and nothing that resembles Starfleet or Klingon Uniforms. Further more, it honestly does not look like a ship, it looks like a lab of some sort.

Yes, I read your post and found it informative. I do understand why its purple, but why purple.! :)
I hope that other factions use a different matrix construction. What would produce a rich, deep red, thefreshjedi.

[Duras]

Pasted from your link, thefreshjedi...

Red
Carmine to Magenta: Lithium compounds. Masked by barium or sodium.
Scarlet or Crimson: Strontium compounds. Masked by barium.
Red: Rubidium (unfiltered flame)
Yellow-Red: Calcium compounds. Masked by barium.

Added on edit...
How about building a Rubidium matrix and rehouse it into the intermix chamber. (If I got the tech right)Produce a red plasma stream along those conduits and if it looks to red, we just tint them. I see it now... EF Radiant is going to take my weekend up. Build a warp core of myown.

Yeah, sorry, I re-read and realized I misread your initial post, I thought you were asking why they changed the type of crystals, but you're right, I re-checked the picture and I'm wondering now, where the heck is the dilithium crystal chamber? It's usually right in the center of the pylon, where the matter and antimatter streams connect to create the reaction? Strange. Unless this is a transwarp coil system, which means the dillithium is spaced along the length of the tubes and the reaction chamber is elsewhere maybe?

I dont know. Not enough information. Sorry.

-avery

[SenshiBat]

Nice Hardware..."Johnny5"

[Kinneas]

Very nice!

Thank you very much.

[TemplarSora]

I'd have to agree, that warp core just isn't doin it for me. Maybe I'm too used to the red and blue strobing that meets in the center at the crystal matrix. From the looks of it, and the guys in the lab coats, it's definitely got to be a research lab. I'd go even farther and say it's a test lab for THAT warp core design; maybe a new engine design even.

Klingon ship looked pretty cool, almost makes me want to play Klingon.

The suped-up Miranda isn't doing it for me, though. First, I thought Mirandas would have been decomissioned by now. Second; why the "NX-91001?" I thought that was the Sovereign variant that's plastered on the home page? That and the saucer looks all kinds of messed up.

BUT, I definitely am still excited about the game. It's all been looking good so far, can't wait!

[miqrogroove]

Congrats on breaking out of the once-every-7-weeks news schedule. :) Cryptic shows some signs of life afterall.

And here's to antcipiating multiple updates in February as well!

[Sir_Cedric]

I have to give two thumbs upo on the pics, keep up the good work guys.

I'm guessing that they were "over-lit" for screenshot purposes, the shots from the trailer showed space looking a little bit darker like these: Space 1 (http://www.hailingfrequency.co.uk/boards/gallery/albums/Official%20Games/Star%20Trek%20Online/Video%20Screencaps/34.png) & Space 2 (http://www.hailingfrequency.co.uk/boards/gallery/albums/Official%20Games/Star%20Trek%20Online/Video%20Screencaps/39.png)

[JeanNYGUARD]

Purple Warp Core... hmm interesting.

All of the pics are great... Cant wait for Fall 2009!

[Veglargh]

:eek: ..............................

[Vicelance]

I'm guessing that this is a starbase or lab where they are testing out a new warp core or perhaps this is a transwarp station. Doesn't look like any fed or Klingon ship.

[darkwave2000]

anyone notice the large hands once again. lol besides that the core is just beautiful. kind of looks like a static ball.

[Stronin]

These outdoor environments look absolutely stunning guys, very beautiful, I can't wait to go exploring in such an amazing loooking universe :)

[blackfx]

I think it looks great thus far! I'm really excited to see where you guys will take us!

[cv_coco]

Nice screen shot! But I have to say despite the very nice details the lighting isn't doing it for me this time and the violet is putting me off a bit. Personal preference maybe. Nice work nonetheless, keep it up!

[IT_IS_GREEN]

That is the awesomest warp core in the HISTORY OF TREK!!! IF I had one of those things in my engine room i'd be the happiest person on this side of the mIlky Way. I love the colour, it's a nice change from the blues and reds of all the other series. One question: the tubes from the warp core look like they are either incredibly groovy glass, or else flutcuating energy fields. which are they? Although, I love the warp core either way!

[Trekkie]

I definitely think that these are some of the best screenshots that have been released for the game so far, and if the trend continues I am very excited to see future screenshots! Thank you very much for posting this, and I am looking forward to the game more than ever now!

[TheHybrid]

That's one bad A$$ looking warp core! lol, oh cryptic, you guys keep teasing us with your fabulous work, keep it up and good job!

[Voorhees]

hmmm more updates, a beta contest hmm i smell beta coming soon

[Captain_Intrepid]

Fascinating.

Does the warp core use force field technology to keep the interaction of matter/anti-matter in check and suspend the parts of the warp core in place?

Is this supposed to be a warp core technology research and development lab, or a part of the engineering section of a star ship or space station?

[hawkeye00021]

More cartoony than the previous shots. :(

[Manx]

I love it!

Tank you Cryptic. Great job :D

[cvenem01]

That warpcore really isn't doing if for me either. First of all, unless its designed be a transwarp type warpcore... Most Federation warpcores I've seen in movies or games have blue as a primary color in their design. Purple is a Dominion or Jem'Hadar color if I remember right. It does appear to be some sort of testing facility or lab to me more than a Starship or Starbase. Also the graphics quality seems "unfinished" to me.

I think it looks more like a power core for a quantum slipstream drive than a warpcore, as the one example of a quantum slipstream power core that has been shown seemed to have lots of lightning like effects going on inside the power core, however, again the color isn't quite right.

[Manx]

Voyager's warp core was purple (mostly).

[tomboderider]

The warp core are awesome!!!!!! :D

[TwAgIssmuDe]

Finaly a klingon ship! Wow, it looks great

[Eryxx]

I am impressed with the artistic quality of this screenie, but it also strikes me as a little odd in some ways. Certainly not enough to keep me from playing, not at all, but perhaps it's something I (we?) will become accustomed to following launch.

I agree with some others that this does not look like a ship interior. Looking at the ceiling and lighting, it has the look of a warehouse with rows of fluorescent lights covered by those cheap bent-metal guards and power cables dangling everywhere. Is that really the future of lighting technology in space? ;) Even if it's some kind of "plasma bulb" (or whatever) inside, I would NOT want those thing swinging all over the place whilst being attacked or what-have-you. My vote goes to some kind of research lab or ground base, not a starship.

I suppose all will be revealed in time, but WHO WANTS TO WAIT?! :( Not me, this I know.

[Valgoot]

I have a few pointers that may shed some light onto the warp-core. First is the people if you look closely at them you will notice that that are either Romulan or Vulcan. Second the color, design, and sceme of this enginiering section plus the corridor leads me to beleive it's Romulan. Thirdly the color of it matches other known Ramulan warp-cores seen in the series. Fourth the design resembles the Romulan warp-cores i've seen before. Fifth the design and coloring of the room matches later versions of Romulan ships. Finally it is my opinion it is a experimental Ramulan warp-core testing facility due to the concols displayed so close to the core and the lack of enginiering crew.

[Collapsingstar]

Warning - Excitement reaching maximum tolerance levels.

[Stonez]

I'd hate to be the one shovelling dilithium into that warp core! Ouch!

What is that thing powering? The Death Star?

[LordDave]

Voyager's warp core was purple (mostly).

No it's 100% blue. With light blue swirls.

[Manx]

No it's 100% blue. With light blue swirls.

I just went and fast forwarded my way through a few episodes just to make sure my memory was not failing me and have arrived at the following conclusion.

It depends what episode you watch.

I watch 'Parallax' from season 1 and it's purplish with blue, gold, and silver swirls. I watch 'Renaissance Man' from season 7 and it's blue with blue swirls.

I would check the screencap gallery at TrekCore.
the VOY section has every second of the show captured in glorious,high-def screencaps.
that way,we can be sure what color the warp core is

The new screen shots are just to darn good. From what i see in the new screen shots you have keepet the Bigger then life. The grand ahhh and ohhh the wonder and the imagination that is Star Trek. Those look SO well made and Detail pls pls. Keep up the great job you are doin. Cant wait for beta and tell all my guilds and ex guilds. And real life friends. wishing you the luck and support you deserve Antonio Aka Adriak Aka Princedarkforge Aka Azulan. Be safe and luck ((waves))

[Davies82]

The graphical detail is amazing in the new screen shots really liking them, and i kinda think also that the screen shot of the Warpcore looks like it's in a test facility of some kind.

When where these latest screen shots taken? and also are they from the PC or console Build of the game?
if someone could answer that would be great.
thanks.

The new screen shots look ok, but not as finished as the first release set. The metal items don't look real, but plastic that is un-finished in the paint"ie primed ,one thin coat of paint" The visuals are ok but not stunning.

[SenshiBat]

The Jury Pool is tainted by logic.. I move for a continuance and a change of venue...
Seriously Concept art and previews get the dialog flowing.. its liek a think tank.. Run it up the flag pole and see who salutes..

improved Aluminum Plastic..structual carbon fiber mesh hastey modular Field construction unit
and not Star Fleet Academy grounds refined.

[trooper_c]

awesome pics

especially liking the warp core pic

[MajorD]

The technical aspects of the images are great but I don't care for the design choices. For instance, the warp core has no delineation between the portion that generates power and the portions that distribute power. The device also appears open air, which is horribly dangerous, if true, and has taken on a mad scientist vibe, rather than the clean sophistication of other warp cores. The room also takes up an absurd amount of space for so little equipment. Lastly, for some reason the ship in the other picture is called a Miranda, even though it has only the vaguest aesthetic similarity to the Miranda class, while the NX-91001 is described as an entirely new class, despite it being nothing more than a Sovereign class ship with a role bar between the nacelles. There appears to be a huge disconnect in the thinking of what does and does not make a new class of ship.

[Siselixina]

The lab look’in good but the workstations is a little bit shallow/low, and the technicians need to bend down to use it. As i remember, i did’nt see comfortless control panels in the films.

And i hope if we badger the control panel, we will meet the elite force style overwrite screen, whit „logical games” in hand phaser. <===== i luv tat.

[Newsound]

The graphics of this game have totally turned me off. I have gone from being interested in this game to not interested at all. Looks like a comic book. Sorry guys you lost me.

[Re4_wesker]

i liked them. i think ive seen that klingon ship from legacy. is it a refitted version?

[QuantaCat]

I gleefully skip the conversation about "warp cores not looing canon", and comment on: "Hooray! A Miranda!"

[player8765k]

Loved the pics, but what was with those Engine Trails? :confused:

[Starship01]

I love the warp core picture and the miranda class going away from the planet.

All 3 pictures are simply amazing. Can't wait for this game.

[RealRom]

Very very nice, indeed. The detail is just overwhelming!

[muttw7]

A belated thanks for the screenshots!

The warp core pic has been picked apart pretty thoroughly so I'll just say I've never liked the color purple and leave it at that.

Yay! Finally a new Klingon ship! It looks like they took some inspiration from the Dominion with the design, especially with the nacelles. It makes sense considering how many Dominion ships were captured at the end of DS9.

The Miranda just looks really busy. Considering the emphasis that has been placed on customization I'm hoping it can be smoothed out and toned down a bit. It also seems odd that it would still be in service. I'm assuming that it's a new ship based on the design of the Miranda. I've always liked the design of the Miranda class, so I'm glad to see they're keeping it alive somehow.

I also really like the screenshots from ComicCon which don't appear to have made their way into the screenshots here yet.

http://startrek-games.com/new-star-trek-online-screenshots/

[CherryTerri]

Is it me or does the Miranda ship look, askew?

From the "front" if my eyes head towards the nacells, it kind of looks a bit squashed and leaning to the left. Kinda like a trapezoid.

Maybe it's just the angle.

[CherryTerri]

I also really like the screenshots from ComicCon which don't appear to have made their way into the screenshots here yet.

[muttw7]

Some of us are hoping that a few of the different races within the Klingon Empire faction (Gorn and Orions etc) will have some of their own ship designs to use in place of Klingon ships. I've never been happy about permanent non-Klingons officers on ships in the KDF. It's just un-Klingon.

Some of us are hoping that a few of the different races within the Klingon Empire faction (Gorn and Orions etc) will have some of their own ship designs to use in place of Klingon ships. I've never been happy about permanent non-Klingons officers on ships in the KDF. It's just un-Klingon.

You are right about that however, Klingons also respect power, if a non Klingon proves himself worthy he would be granted almost all the same power/priviledges a klingon would (a couple example in TNG)
