Cryptic provides us with three exclusive peeks at Star Trek Online. This week we get a glamor shot of a ship in flight, a peek at space combat and some aliens hard at work.
Check out the new screenshots, here.

For Stovakor!
Get ready for one of the biggest IP's in the world to be destroyed by Cryptic.
some one got a crystal ball?
Even if they divert all power from other systems to shields, this game will still end up floating dead in space.
(oh they deleted my previous post. nice)
Why are there so many cutesie, fantasy, childish MMO's. Give me blood, gore and a long lasting challenge. I don't need my hand being held along the way. Thanks.
"Exclusive?" I saw these on the STO website yesterday, they aren't "exclusive" at all.

well at least they look better than the stargate screen shots
is that an escort ship? jheez that looks sexy
If you like it that much, Federation will make sure you Klingons all go there ASAP. =P

It is Sto-Vo-Kor.... star trek noob.
It's a modified Miranda class, so it's one of the lowest tier ships. www.startrekonline.com/ships
the human/alien models look horrible on par with AO (as it looks today)
Yeah, those graphics look actually a bit worse than what you could find in Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, all the way back in September of 2000 when it was released. I'm going to assume that the developers were given a rather large budget to work with on this project due to the ST license. Question is, where is the money going? Hookers and large quantities of coke?
Seriously though, you know that they were given a Hollywood blockbuster like budget to work with. What's up with Quake 3 era graphics then? I mean I'm the first one to point out that there is more to games than shiny graphics, but those screenshots are laughable as far as 2009 (almost 2010) is concerned.
Wow... pretty true.
Side note...
3rd pic on the bottom right...
"hmmm sir, my scans show this can of fizzypop is empty."
So much crap, so little quality.
QFT.. sadly.

No....Everyone will begin as Federation only. Once you complete the basic tutorial you will be able to choose Federation or Klingon. As far as the Romulans go the timeline will help you understand why they are absent VIDEO
Gfx looks a bit cartoony I have to say.

The 2 'sides' to play from start are fed and klingon with different races available for each
however I'm with you in wanting a romulan warbird, however since according to cryptic they are klingon warbirds i'm not holding out too much hope for the future
Games shaping up nicely, can't wait to command that Klingon ship! Characters look very nice compared to most MMO's that only give limited choices and end up looking a like.
I agree, to much nit picking these days. me and a bunch of buddies plan on playing together and that will be the best part of the game. its almost as bad as people complaining about how slow lotro combat was. It honestly was not that slow..now compare it to wow or some other mmo where you hit 3 buttons and attack 12 times ya ANY combat is going to SEEM slow lol.
I totally agree. To much picking at STO. It's like trying to tunnel through a mountain with a tooth pick. Thanks for the Screenshots. Oh and what fleet would that be above, there. I'd love to join you guys. Contact me with join info or something
Would Ryker really say that?
