 |

http://startrek.perpetual.com/GalClassHubDeck7SciMed.html
Here are the beginning designs for the science and medical bays to give you an idea of the kind of attention to detail that is going into creative the starships that will become home to thousands of MMO gamers.
Check back often as they are updating the images almost daily it seems!
The following was posted to the Official Site by Glen Dahlgren (Design Director, Star Trek Online):
| Quote: | Glen Dahlgren here, Design Director on STO, and it's my pleasure to give you a peek into another aspect of our design process.
Because of our recent press release, you may already be aware that we're working with yet another experienced Star Trek designer: Andrew Probert, the guy who designed the Enterprise D, Next Gen's original Starship. But you're certainly not familiar with the intimate details of HOW he is contributing - and that's what I'd like to discuss.
While we're very excited to have the opportunity to create brand-new ships and technology (and we will be doing so), one of our goals for STO is to bring alive the iconic people, things, and places from Star Trek's shows and movies - that with which you're already very familiar. An obvious target is the Galaxy-class Starship, the anchor of TNG. Who doesn't want to wander those halls, walk around that bridge, or explore the holodeck? And how about visiting some of the places that the show only hinted at, like the Cetacean (dolphin) quarters or the immense double-barreled main computer core?
So we know we want to explore the Galaxy-class ship, but what function should it serve in an MMO? Despite the relatively few extras we saw wandering its halls on the show, the ship theoretically housed and serviced thousands of people. Effectively, it's a flying city - and indeed, a Galaxy-class ship will be one of our many hubs: inter-connected foci of content that provide infrastructure, social centers, and launching points for missions (although they are certainly not the only source of these things). This is one of the ways we can give players the important experience of ship life.

Totally agree and I'm not a big ST fan. Murdock did make the show.

See... now I want them to allow us to name our ships.
What is a captain of a galaxy class starship if we can't call it the U.S.S. Gorath?

Make it so, Crew!

I'll play only if I can be the lizard man from the old ST episode that gets blown up with the homegrown bazooka 
Um...except I don't get blown up this time.

Ah, the Gorn, that episode makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Reminds me of that Galaxy Quest joke too...
"Jason, look around and see if you can find some wooden tubbing and something to make a rudimentary glaze...."
/sad panda again
I was hoping we'd see launch in 2007.

Hey it takes a long time to create a place no man has gone before.
With the quality of 90% of other Star Trek games, I hope they take their time and get it right, not much point to Galaxy Class Star ships if you have 3 planets to go to
By the way... any chance of Bounty Hunters in this game?
