STO dev diary

Over at IGN they've posted a new dev diary entry on visual effects.

I just hope we'll still see some black in between those nebulae...

I like that pic on that link. I'm thinking that it is a clear pic of an Oslo class and a Gorn ship?

I hope this does not end up like EVE online. That was one of my gripes about that game, every system was inside a nebula. I never got the feeling i was flying in the vast emptiness of space, I just felt like I was flying in the atmosphere above china on a windless day.

Ouch! But so true.
Seems like they're also going overboard with the asteroids too, have been since forever.

Some say that if you stare into the Black long enough, it stares back at you.

I noticed something that I thought was cool within one of the articles. That Fleets can make logos to be put on ships and they can have set uniforms for fleet members, or for different ranks.

That would be cool if Order members' captains wore a different uniform while on turn.

There will be area's without Nebulae probably, they're just not showing any to make it look more interesting for people who aren't that excited about this game.

That's an interesting idea. If we did that what colour(s) would best fit?
The only other uniform other then Red, blue & Gold was the one that Kirk wore, the Green one. Maybe something like that would work?

Maybe if we made their colour white, or purple, or even like you said BK.

Also having those logos on the ships and stations would be cool...it would be cool too if we could put our logos on the characters like the patches they wore on their uniforms in ST Enterprise.

Sounds like the customization section of the game will take up a lot of time...love to customize things.

I've been dicking around with some classic Templar iconography and this is my work-in-progress.

My thinking was that if anybody wanted a ship-decal fleet logo that it would help to be as simple and identifiable as possible.

I'm going to use some of it in some avatars too.

Still tweaking them. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Great Job Dru...I especially like the the first shield, the one divided vertically in black and white. Maybe one of them will be able to put on my ship.
