I think it may be the refit version of the Star Cruiser

Ooohh and it appears we'll be getting a new Vesta-like ship in the upcoming season called the Avenger Class Battle Cruiser :)
And for some odd reason it's not letting me upload the image :pinch:

Re: Season 8's a'comin
Yeah, as a writer by profession I do feel like that little missive to Admiral Quinn could've been written a little better. It's supposed to be a report to a superior officer but the narrative is a little disjointed and some of the canon references were a little contrived, understandably for the readers' benefit.
I agree with Angel about the dimensions of the sphere, it should look like a wall in space or maybe we won't even see it from the outside, if there's a transwarp gate maybe it will empty out on the inside.

Re: Government Shutdown
This is exactly what is going on.

It sucks that people who work for the gov't are layed off/furloughed over this nonsense, but in the end it is probably the best thing for the moment... The President will not negotiate with these clowns anymore, nor should he.
The GOP plays dirty, dishonest, and utterly irresponsible politics. Simple as that. They have only one strategy: Throw everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama. Their denial escapes me, but they know their "strategy" isn't working and they're panicking.
Vote these assholes out in 2014, I say. Enough is enough.

Re: Season 8's a'comin
People confuse the terms "radius" and "diameter"--that's the problem here. They meant the former but said the latter.

Yocan count me as annoyed, and I'm in California, which is about as blue a state as you can get. The whole thing is ridiculous!

Re: Government Shutdown
I am tired of it all. They had 4 years to try to change this law. They tried to repeal it 42 times. They even brought the Supreme Court into the fight. And then they wait till the last possible moment and hold us hostage. They are crazy and make me sick. You can't negotiate with morons. Oh and I am tired of liberal being a dirty word.

Re: Government Shutdown
Yeah, Wyoming is super duper red too :( Reading the opinion column in the paper is super depressing these last couple days like "All these RINOs that didn't stand up for Ted Cruz should be voted out" wow... um... wow... but this is the best explanation I've seen of the whole thing so far:
GOP — "Can we burn down your home?"
Democrats — "No"
GOP — "Just the 2nd floor?"
Democrats — "No"
GOP — "The Garage?"
Democrats — "No"
GOP — "Let's talk about what we can burn down."
Democrats — "No"
GOP — "YOU AREN'T COMPROMISING!"

Re: Government Shutdown
Nick, you really need to stop watching/listening to the Right-wing propaganda machine. They're led by Fox News with Rush Limbaugh as their mascot. Of course red states are going to be full of sheeples that blame Obama for... being black, not being a U.S. citizen, terrorist attacks, the weak economy, _____ (fill in the blank). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act/Affordable Care Act/Obamacare was passed into law in 2010 (THREE years ago) and only parts of it will begin to take effective in January 2014. Yet it is to blame for the United States government being shut down now.
The outcome is that the Republicans are only hurting themselves. Elections (especially for the president spot) are decided by the "undecided" or moderates. Even though politically 2016 is a long way off, I'd be surprised if some Pub-heads didn't roll come this time next year.

I know a lot of you don't pay much attention to politics, but is anyone else incredibly annoyed with the amount of people that blame Obama for the shutdown and keep repeating Republican talking points about the Affordable Care Act like their truth?
It's probably cause I live deep inside a red state, but its really getting annoying.

Re: Season 8's a'comin
Just saw this first of the Season 8 Dev Blogs posted:

Nice to know they sent a Luna class to explore the Delta Quadrant.
Shouldn't the size be larger than a full astronomical unit? After all, 1 AU is only 149,597,870.7 km. Too small for a Dyson sphere unless it surrounds a dwarf star.
If it is a G type main sequence star, like our own, it should be about 2 AU in diameter.
And if it is a Dyson sphere, even one as small as 1 AU in diameter, I sincerely hope the represent this massive size by making us orbit what should, effectively, look like a solid wall that extends in all 4 directions for as far as the unaided eye can see. Not the basketballs we're used to orbiting in STO.

Oh an Omega Molecule? As a Romulan I'm gonna enjoy the Federation tossing their principles out the window as they start murdering anyone who stands in their way to destroy Omega at all costs.
Would you enjoy it if I destroy the Omega by putting it in the blackhole know as a Marine's ass? :-P
