Warbird pic is just beautiful. Looks like about 3 new pics along with all the old ones and they even have the pics from the Perpetual Dev team.

Edit: Not too much new information, however.

Actually more a summary of what we know already but still I like the new screenshots.

btw just a random question: will you be able to send a distresscall when attacked by a player from another faction ?

Good article. The new screen look beautiful!

Great find, will move this to the alert section!

A few interesting points from the article:

All new characters will be able to choose from an array of low-ranking starter ships to command

at present, the game is currently planned to offer an "even split' between away team exploration and interstellar starship exploration--the latter includes the game's tactical, real-time starship combat system.

Cryptic is apparently attempting to build in a strategic preparation aspect to ship combat. Your preparation will include choosing the proper crew, equipping the appropriate weapons, and installing the proper shields.

the game is already in an internal beta state at Cryptic's offices

And some UI views from shields and content are explained.
Sweet

It is a pretty cool article. I really like the new screens.

The game is in closed beta, woohoo! From the sounds of things it might not be too long before open beta is started!

Nice find Dru_mcd !!

I've also read this
'All new characters will be able to choose from an array of low-ranking starter ships to command,...' From the sounds of that the Miranda class ship might not be the only starter ship we can have, come on Cryptic, please let me have a constellation class to start with!

Thanks for sharing the link... wonder how long it will be before we get some hands on.

May the Norse gods grant me patience and may they grant it to me NOW!!

Ya its looking very crisp & sweet.
