You sure these are the right screenshots? Looks more like Champions Online in Space. 

That's because it's being made by the same people, using their City of Heroes engine.  Comic book style with a touch of realism.   I think they call it stylistic realism or some such thing.

I wish they'd include captions with these things. Is that purple thing a new warp core? A lab? Is that snow-covered planet a mining colony? A planetside starbase? I'm guessing that ship in front of the donut is a freighter (those boxes look like they could be easily removed/transferred), but what faction does it belong to? And what is that green room that looks like someone plunked a conference table down in a cargo bay?

Also, anyone else notice how tight those pants are? At least our avatars will have good butts.

Not impressed :(

wow, i so wanna jump into that MARA.

 I think they look great!

BTW, the purple thing is the warp core.  You can tell because it has articulation chamber frames on it.

(And yes, I am a geek.)

Mediocre graphics, but if the game engine has good performance I could forgive a lot.

While I am a HUGE proponent for the school of thought that graphics do NOT make a game; these screen shots do not get me excited for this game.

That being said, I am very interested in how this one turns out. My main concern about this game is that there are so many novels, that EVERYONE who is a serious Trek fan will be alienated somehow. I know if the story lines of my beloved TNG & DS9 novels are messed with, it will be very hard for me to play in the world.

I'm not sure there is much of a solution to this problem, which is why I fear for the game and its community.

Every kid with half a year 3d studio max lessons can make that. I would not bother, if the concept of the game were exciting, which it isnt. But then, there is a guy in tight pants with a firm butt.. whats more to want, lol. ><()
 

Wow, nice screenshots. The uniform looks really Federation-like and I like those environments. Keep going!

Looks pretty good.  As long time Trek fans the wife and I will be giving this one a try...I tend to ignore naysayers.

It's set 30 years after Nemesis, the last movie, in 2409. Nemesis took place in 2379. Voyager, the last/most recent show ended (they got home) in 2378. I don't see where they would need to change storylines from TNG(ended 2370) or DS9(ended 2375). Now, they may pick up where some of those left off, but going back and changing them wouldn't make sense.
