    I'm not a big fan of the command ships, to me they suffer from the same issues a lot of the unique cryptic designs.

    Having said that, I like what you have done! Picture 3 in particular seems 'Trek' to me, and is very well done!

    Kudos!

    Thank you. And i fully agree. Those Cryptic design do not feel anywhere star trek or federation-like and i cant force myself flying my ships with their default hull. Thats why i always try to use the customization options as much as possible. It took me quite some time to get this thing to work but i think its totally worth the work. I can even say that the ship as it is now is one of my favourites in my hangar bay when it comes to performance AND looks.

    Awesome shots, Wesstan!
    Thank you!

    Good work. I was thinking of choosing between a Guardian and Presidio when I get my character to level 60
    Thank you.

    As for the choice of yours: Since STO is so much DPS based a good DPS support cruiser like the Presidio will always be a good choice. Though i have to admit that the versatility of the Guardian appeals to me and its definetly one of the ships im going to buy if i have the zen to spare (i simply LOVE Gravity Well + FAW Big Grin )

    At least they are getting back into allowing customization. When the game launched almost every ship was customizable but they quickly got away from that. Glad to see it returning.

    Plus noone should forget that the Andoria System is quite a nice system for "shootings". I especially like the lightning and planet colours there.

    I love these shots. They're amazing. They have a very Star Trek feel to them, per the camera angles and the setting.

    Great shots! As an Andorian character I know first hand how awesome the system is! I just wish that Cryptic did more on the ground or underground! To me the jury's still out on the newer Cryptic ships, I tend to like the look of the newer ships but then I look at the primary deflector and it ruins it for me. Banghead But until I fly them I won't pass my final judgement.

    I love my Presidio, I have it set up as the standard version, only thing that bugs me is the glow of the nacelles are off axis, so whenever I warp in or out the glow is next to the nacelles Sad
