Here's more screencaps. Sorry about the square thumbnails.

They rebuilt Spacedock at some point. It's freaking huge.
 -

They stuck a handful of ship models out here, presumably for players to gawk at.
 -
 -

Nicely lined up.
 -

It's a Prometheus.
 -

The ugly-ass S'omething class, and yeah, that's a Defiant variant. There's also the nose of an Akira variant, but apparently I didn't screencap it.
 -

A Cheyenne, in all her kitbashed glory.
 -

Another view of the Cheyenne.
 -

I'm not entirely sure what this one is. Could be either a Cheyenne variant or a Prometheus variant.
 -

I have no clue what this is, but based on the dimensions and shape, I fear it's a Galaxy variant. Holy crap that's ugly.
 -

Two Olympic variants.
 -

Front shot of one variant.
 -

Front shot of the other. I was revolted at first, but it's really not that bad in comparison to the Galaxy variant horror show.
 -

An Intrepid variant.
 -

And from the bottom. Yes, those impulse engines are hugegantic.
 -

A vanilla Intrepid.
 -

The only vanilla Galaxy in the little parked fleet. Pardon the guy in the... well, I think it's a Steamrunner variant, he's also gawking.
 -

It's a Sovvy!
 -

A Sovvy variant. Underside. Apparently I didn't get a copy of the top.
 -

I think it's another Sovvy variant.
 -

I think.
 -

Maybe?
 -

A player in a Connie refit.
 -

Still the classiest ship in the fleet. [Razz]
 -

Also, the maximum image per post limit is now 50. Why did I have it set to 8? WTF.

Wow. Almost makes me wish I was into computer games, at all. Bit too late though, now.

Well it seems I won't be gaining access to the beta, but thanks anyway for the pics. I'm still have mixed feelings about the games, I'm a little off put by the apparent poor quality of starship combat.

Forgot I had a Photobucket account. Oops. Anyway, here's my ship at the moment, the Adrasteia.

Space combat is only bad when you're overwhelmed in PvE. It's an entirely different animal, so I'm told, in PvP.

Also, this would make a very poor first MMO.

If this thing had a free trial I might go for it, just to see if I could bash up one of our old ASDB designs.

I never thought I'd say thais but those are actually worse than the crap from starshipschematics.com.

Chuck you've sold me on never buying this game- there's not a ship design in there that even warrants a "save as" motion from me.

Even their Galaxy class is very poorly realized- far worse than the Bridge Commander or even Armada models- and it's nicely named "starfleet cruiser", which made me laugh in spite of the horror of those other images.

Particularly hilariously bad is that 5 o'clock traffic jan into the spacedock (which itself looks a bit like the Borg queen's ship).

Overall I give it an F-

But maybe the in-game play is somehow so fantastic that it overcomes the design work. [Wink]

Something awful skewers the game a tad.

Yeah, which retailer is actually selling the full version of the game? [Wink]
