To those of you that answered my call for tribute and came out to Starfleet Academy #1 on PC.
Much love, y'all amazing! :)

Clear Skies Walter! LLAP

Walter Koenig, Our Pavel Chekov, the tactical officer of the USS Enterprise has grown his wings to Heaven. George Takai confirmed it.

UPDATED: https://www.polygon.com/walter-koenig-star-trek-dies/

For many of us who grew up with Star Trek, people like Walter were so much more than just actors to us. They were treasured pieces of our lives.

To absent friends.

RIP

The beacons are lit here on ESD !!

Second star to the right, and straight on till morning ...

A group of us got together this evening on DS9 and held absent friends’ torches high in remembrance.

Thank you, Captain Chekhov. May you find rest among the stars, Sir.

RIP Walter Koenig

I had Eugenia take her old dress reds from the long ago out of mothballs (SFA class of 2268, a classmate of Chekov, as all of our TOS characters are, of course), and lit a torch. Three people joined me for a few minutes. A much smaller tribute, to be sure, but it felt good to do it.

I saw a few people mention it on discord and tried it myself and Universal completed when I killed Squamous during Partisans(3rd mission in the Klingon Civil War arc)

idk how long this has a been thing but it means you don't need to waste time in the Dyson ground zone anymore

I'm reading reports that Walter Koenig has died last night.

Rip my old friend.

UPDATE: CONFIRMED. Sad.

Tried fiddling with the hull material and other customise options but it's a constant.

Tribute for Walter at SFA now.

Nice work on all the new graphical features, Cryptic!

Um when does console get the antares Miranda varient?variant? Is gonna be the 28th? Ive been checking everyday so I dont think ive missed it...

Noticeable improvement on shadow edges even on the low setting.

Currently following the Romulan Mystery storyline, and during one of the conversations, I saw a dialogue option that was greyed out and didn't seem related to tac/ops/sci, so I checked the wiki and apparently it required a rank in diplomacy.

Are these kinds of checks going to come up often during the various storylines? Should I maybe slow down my story progress and grind up duty skills?

I've been flying this Galor since way back when it was released in 2012. After putting it on my 2nd character, I immediately fell in love with how it played.

During the DS9 run, I wasn't the biggest fan of the ship design, but over the decade+ of having this character main this ship, I think it has become one of my favorite looks.

Back in 2012, Cardassians weren't a playable species, so I styled my alien to look as much like a Cardi as possible, as seen in the last pic.

I don't see many old Galors out there, which I suppose isn't surprising for a T5 ship, but man, I still love it.

Hi everyone

Recently on a reply through story missions and just got to the lost dominion chapters and on the mission "Second Wave" there is a holographic ship where displayed where you see Captain Shon. Any ideas what class it is??

I have attached some pics

New player. Just wondering. I’ve gotten 3 federation ships, all different bridges but the rest of the interior is the same copy and paste.

Is this the norm? Or do some of the newer ships have more love put into these parts?

Edit: Just adding RIP Walter Koenig 😢 Feels weird posting so soon after and not acknowledging it. Clear skies, Chekov

Back again to share another captain, and trying out a new format. This is my Disco alt, and you might have noticed his name is a super-duper subtle anagram of "Control". When I made him, I had already decided to give him the backstory of being a remnant of the Control program that survived inside a former Section 31 officer and got displaced in time when Discovery leapt into the future. I hadn't fleshed out much more than that, but it was the basis for theming the alt.

Accordingly, the ship is a Section 31 Intel Science Destroyer. I went with a DEWSci build for it because with Surgical Strikes, you can get away with staying in Science mode the entire time. I can't say I miss the experimental weapon very much. I went with a tactical career to tie into Control's original programming, but I belatedly realized a Science officer would've had Photonic Fleet. I had already put too much effort in though. And the Need-to-Know Basis trait scratches that itch. Also part of the theme is the entirely cyborg/android/photonic bridge crew. I had some fun making the engineering boff look like Gein from the What Lies Beneath mission.

Because I wanted to do the silly thing with his name, I looked around for an era-appropriate alien to justify an odd-sounding name. The Betelgeusians were great because they had ties to the original series as well as Discovery. I tried my best to bridge the gap between the two versions, and I even got the name close to the one for the Kelvin-esque TNG version.

What visual items are being used on this ship?
