Star Trek Online: The New Crack

[jdotmi]

Oh, hey, look at that! It's an LJ post! Holy crap!

Actually, it's a picture post. And not one of my shiny new Alienware. Just, ya know, taken on said Alienware.

:D

Feel free to click the images for the true hugeness.

Let's start out with Ruann, shall we? In STO, Ruann is a Betazoid Science officer. I started by riffing off her Anarchy Online incarnation in terms of appearance, but STO doesn't really do the whole blaxploitation kung-fu master thing very well, so she became a bit different. But her name is Ruann Karyl Silvestrini, and she has AO to thank for that. Oh, and this was NOT the first character I made in the game.



Okay, so what is with MMOs and oversized cleavage? I mean, really. Of course, I couldn't change them. It's Ruann. She has to be over the top. This games just lucky I couldn't make her a six foot tall drag queen like she really should be.

Moving on to Jareth, my Engineer. I didnt really model him off of anyone, I just wanted him to be kinda hot.



There are some issues with how the beards render in game, so I have to futz with their faces until the beard looks right. I dunno what they were thinking when they put the beards together, but ah well. They look pretty good once you get it right. This was the third character I made.

And now say hello to my STO icon, and a remake of the first STO character I made. Yeah, y'all, I made a guy first. Suck it. ;)



This is Jarez. Not so clear from this angle, but he is built. He's also a tactical officer, so it's kinda his job to be built. :D Jareth and Jarez are actually characters that I created long long ago for various tabletop Star Trek games and the inevitable fan-fiction I wrote when I was like 10. Thankfully, all of the latter has been burned.

I have about 5 pics of each of my characters over in my scrapbook. Feel free to browse. I may add some shots of their ships later.

LoL Hooray for new crack! ^_^ And... is it me or does Jarez look a lot like Number 1?

Eh, not so much actually. I have seen some pretty scary copies in game of him though. Sadly, most characters wind up looking alike. The customization options aren't as great as they should be.

I want to see the ships! That is the part that interests me most about Trek online. I love Trek ship designs and would love to see all the new designs they added for the game.

I'll work on that tonight. Not all of them have their specialty ships yet (my Engineer is only 5, as is my redone Tactical guy), but the ships do look sweet. They have some images on the Star Trek Online wiki, but not all of them. And, of course, you can customize them to make them your own. Each level of ship has 3 different options for different parts (nacelles, hull, saucer, pylons for the nacelles, and other things depending on the model). And I don't have any Klingon characters, so I don't know what their ships look like (other than from me blowing them up).

My main complaint with the game right now is the three character limit. I mean, not that I'm an altoholic or anything. Oh wait, I am...
