Discovery-class looks more like an upgraded Intrepid-class but I like it. Advanced as the Enterprise-E

#47 – Not in the least. Cryptic certainly seems to have their own ideas on how to do things, which by itself is fine, with whatever approvals process they go through with the studio. They don’t need me to tell them how to build game ships.

I hate these designs. The ships look so cluttered! Where is the beauty of the Enterprise A, D, and E? Is it that hard to create an original design? These designs are lacking in originality.

I love the TOS bridge for one big reason; it most felt like a futuristic scientific/military vessel without degenerating into a dark submarine-like feeling.

I pray for STO on Xbox 360!

I hope Rick Sternbach was at least consulted.

Also those release dates are for suckers! Cryptic lead dev has stated that ANY site offering a “Collectors Edition” or stating an actual release date are talking rubbish and just trying to con their money off you early.

THERE IS NO CURRENT RELEASE DATE SET so Trek Movie do your research. Must do better next time!

Reading through these posts I cant help but think how closed minded Trekkies can be. Lots of people slating the design’s etc. But I ask have any of you bothered to read the STO forums or keep up with the story line? Its only set 25 years post nemesis so really Starship design wont change that much in 25 years. Imho look how little changed in the lost era 2300-2350. Look at the design lineage of the Galaxy/Nebula/New Orleans classes (and many more).

The game is heavily based on customisation and these new “ships of the line” are simply derivitives of classes or types, a way to show one of many choices available to players. And there is a reason for the downward pylons that they havent let us in on yet, so before you decry them as “Lame” at least wait to see what technological innovation they could form part of.

Lets not forget this is a Star Trek MMO, and must retain familiar shapes and history as well as branching out and creating its own.

For the next game, they should have a contest for designing the next starship. Add a little creativity into the mix. Like they did with the Titan.
