I've heard a couple people notice that the shuttlebay in the new tutorial feels more appropriate to the Miranda Class you're in. That's because we actually built a simple deck layout for the Miranda as a starting point for the updated ship portions. 1/2

Real talk: Today’s STO release was tough. It was daunting, overwhelming, and hit by schedule overruns on the previous release out. I had my doubts about it. But in the end I’m more pleased with how it all came together than I expected to be. I hope you all enjoy it.

Progress on the Odyssey Bridge Revamp today. I dropped the ceiling by 5', and slid it forward a bit, which I think helps the space feel less cavernous. Playing with doing railings ala Donny, instead of the big sloping bulkheads. Quick & Dirty is still the name of the game.

Thanks to those who swung by the stream today. Here's where we got on the 2410 Kit Warp Core today. Definitely pulling from TNG, along with some from the TOS Movie Warp Core, and a bit from Lower Decks. This is just whitebox/proof of concept. I'll start refining from here.

Note that this was never intended to reflect a "True" Deck Layout for the Miranda class, just a layout for the hallways that at least feels more like you're following the shape of the ship than many of our old ship hallways (which admittedly, do some strange things) 3/2

I’m going to post this once, and then drop it. This applies to every design, not just mine: Just because you do not like the design in question, does not mean it is garbage, or a pile of barf, or dog poo, or anything else. Express your opinion without dumping on others’.

I just wanted to say how much joy it brings me to hear this. While it wasn’t a conscious effort to make everyone feel at home, it has been a conscious effort to work in details and blend styles from all over Trek.
My absolute FAVORITE thing about the 2410 Starfleet aesthetic they're building in STO, and I've said this before, is that our Captains we're theming from any and every era of Starfleet all fit *equally well* in it. Nobody feels too out of place
