  Look, more Star Trek Online pics!

  Today was the 2nd anniversary celebration (which continues until Monday at least), and they held a commissioning ceremony for the Odyssey-class. A brief speech was given by the original designer/contest winner Adam Ihle via the Subspace Radio podcast, and then…. nothing else happened. But hey - it was an opportunity to help the kid make herself a nice set of dress whites for her character. I can’t believe it’s been a year since this one.

  I took the Odyssey out for a spin on the shakedown flight mission around Utopia Planetia. For my non-Vice Admiral characters, it was a bit of a daunting task to man all the stations. I guess the rest of the crew will arrive with the tractor beam on Tuesday.

  It’s a cruiser, and a big’un, and it fights as such: slow turns, hella nasty broadsides from beam arrays, hull thicker than bread slices cut by a 10-year-old. The universal bridge officer slots will allow for a lot of diversity in how it is used, which is kind of nice. This free one is nerfed, though… so I’ll probably stick with my dreadnought, excelsior retrofit and escorts for the time being.

  And yeah - I’m posting more Star Trek Online stuff than usual lately. If you don’t like it, you can su<remainder of this post has been edited to remove content which violates the Perfect World Entertainment Community Rules and Policies.>

  The U.S.S. Enterprise-F is now live on Star Trek Online.

  This is one of the new Odyssey-class vessels inside Earth Spacedock. I don’t know if she’s the Enterprise herself as I can’t see a registry number on the hull, but starting today - the 2nd anniversary of Star Trek Online - this ship has officially entered into (soft?) canon as the flagship of Starfleet and the Federation.

  I wish I could get it into the screenshot better, but it’s huge. They’re holding a commissioning ceremony tomorrow at 4:30 and again at 8:30 EST. I don’t think they’re going to be hitting it with Dom Perignon bottles, but I’m still bringing the kid and attending.

  Happy 2nd Birthaversary, STO!

  Made just because I’m feeling sad, angry, and because cancer sucks.
