Centaur has windows and escape pods on Impulse Engines

Canon Inconsistencies:

• Constitution:
  • Reference Aft hull and ventral saucer sensor domes not lit on in game model
  • Windows on nacelle pylons in incorrect location.
  • Windows on in game model do not match canon
• Miranda: Studio model shots

  • Ventral saucer registry overlaps nav lights

• Escort:
  
  • Impulse glow errors: 1 2
  • Impulse engines glowing through hull
  • Single cannon weapon pimple obscuring windows on the ventral bow of the Rapier saucer. (Can we get some actual torpedo launchers instead of the ugly pimple place holders on the hulls?)
  • Using the Sabre hull restricts you to Type 1 windows, possibly because the Sabre hull is the only one that has no windows
  
  
• Science Vessel:
  
  
• Cruiser: Christie's model shots
  
  

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  
  Constitution:

  • Nacelles should not have inboard aft fins
  • Saucer has two window lines on side, not one. Missing recreation deck on right back of saucer rim as well
  • Nacelle Pylons are asymmetrical
  • Arboretum windows on sides of engineering hull missing
  • Saucer should only have windows on 1st tier of bridge superstructure, ventral windows are wrong
  • Strongback paint missing on all materials: 1 2
  • Missing VIP lounge aft of bridge superstructure
  • Shuttle Bay Doors are dome shaped like TOS, not cone shaped like TMP Canon. Red upper lights missing.

  • Oslo strut does not attach well to the Zephyr nacelle, causing the nacelle to clip with the saucers
  • Oslo: Rear turrets all firing from port hardpoint
  • Oslo, and Zephyr are missing shuttle bays and phaser strips are wrong or missing
  
  
  Akira: side by sides
  
  The following is a partial list. View the full list of errors HERE
  1. The dorsal phaser arrays do not extend far enough around the saucer, the ventral phaser arrays are broken up into four strips, two along the darkened indentations between the rim and the bulge and two much smaller ones are on either side of the weapon pimple.
  2. Missing Starfleet decals from ventral saucer bulge
  3. Dorsal hull decals missing the ship registry
  4. Aft shuttle bays 1 & 2 are too small; the doors are the incorrect shape and are not numbered
  5. Central shuttle bay / Cargo doors missing.
  6. There is a little nodule jutting out beneath the landing platform at the aft of the saucer that should not be there.

  • No Phaser strips
  • Fan tail gets coloured for no apparent reason.
  • Ventral hull patterns are asymmetrical, primarily on fantail.
  • Using Gallant or Vigilant nacelles obscures fleet logos
  • Sao Paolo phaser arrays causing ship name to be squashed / distorted

  Canon Inconsistencies:

  Defiant: Studio model

  • Milamber3 points out some lighting issues.
  • Defiant (and variants) overscaled. They should be smaller than the Tier 1 Escorts
  • Canonical Defiants had quad cannons, why don't we?
  • No light showing ship's Name
  • Bow section not curved / angled downwards enough - Comparison shots 1 2
  • Both nacelles need to be remodelled / repositioned in accordance with the studio model
  • Rear Nacelles glow not glowy enough (Material Type2a also much deeper blue)

• LR Science Vessel:
  
  • Discovery, Cochrane Saucers (nearly) blocking forward torp launchers
  • Discovery shuttle bay doors don't seem to have anywhere to go. Perhaps make them more like the Intrepid's in the Season 2 fix.
  • Discovery saucer cutting off edges of long names
  • Discovery torpedo launchers are accidents waiting to happen
  • Discovery: Multiple model / texture issues
  • Misaligned / missing nav lights on Discovery saucer
  • Cochrane has no shuttle bay.

  Canon Inconsistencies:

  Intrepid: Studio model shots

  • Starfleet decals too thick/bright (STO top, canon bottom)
  • Damage textures cutting off at joins
  • Window / escape pod overlap
  • Ventral Saucer errors: Reference
  • Saucer (Secondary) Deflector Dish isn't supposed to glow
  • Missing dorsal docking port
  • Missing fantail registry.
  • Impulse engines should be slightly taller, and have four slots instead of three.
  • Saucer upper deck, fantail windowing incorrect

• Exploration Cruiser:
  
  Enterprise D model reference shots from Christie's auction
  
  • Celestial ship name "obscuring" windows (flickering). Suggest moving the name down to just above the registry, possibly following the same parabola.

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  
  Galaxy:

  • Main deflector needs more of an overbite and should be more of an orange lopsided bowl with a blue glow from behind the flat deflector structure inside of it.
  • There should be a smoother transition between the hull and the pylons
  • Missing ship name beneath forward torpedo launcher
  • Texture error on hull
  • Secondary hull "rim" needs RCS thrusters.
  • Neck is too thick, too V shaped. Should curve more: Game Model: 1 2
  • Hull / pylon texture misalignment
  • Ten forward windows missing from bow
  • Warp grilles should have a uniform glow all the way around like the STO Teaser pics.
  • Shuttle bays 2 & 3 positioned incorrectly, not wide enough, missing windows left of shuttle bay 2
  • Spine that runs along the ventral stardrive section far too angular, nearly all of the structural lines on the ship should be smooth and flowing (See above side and model shots)
  • None of the materials mimic the look of canon Galaxy
  • Missing Battle Bridge bulge from engineering hull post separation (Reference pics: 1 2 3)
  • Gap above centre impulse engine, missing the pair of red stripes that run the length of the spine: In game - Canon shot

• Advanced Escort:
  
  • No warp core ejection ports
  • Hull / saucer pattern mismatches
  • Missing registry / name on secondary and tertiary hulls

  Quote:

  Paraphrasing MarcW (to save space) The Prometheus MVAM is missing the impulse engines on sections Beta and Gamma. This is a screen capture from the episode of Voyager: Message In A Bottle. I've pointed out the missing engine grills. The glowing white engines at the edges of the saucer must be the saucer impulse engines. This image shows the Prometheus gestalt. I've pointed out the three sets of impulse engines as they would appear in this configuration. Only the saucer engines are operational when the ship is fully assembled. This image shows the section Alpha. As you can see, the blue/white parts are the impulse engines. This image shows section Beta, also with labelled impulse engines. In-game, this section appears to have invisible impulse engines at the base of the nacelle pylons - clearly incorrect, as they should be where they are shown in this image. I've also pointed out where the ship's name and registry are shown on this hull (also missing from game). This image shows section Gamma, also with correct impulse engine location pointed out. Like section Beta, in-game there are invisible impulse engines at the nacelle pylon bases, which is incorrect.

  
  
• Reconnaissance Science Vessel:
  
  • Polaris Bussard collectors have different 'backlight' texturing
  • Comet class has the green starboard running light on both sides of the saucer.
  • Comet class rear dorsal turret hardpoint missing grapic representation. 1 2 (Personal recommendation that turret hardpoints be located within phaser strips.)
  • Gaps in mesh allowing you to see through the ship when using Comet Hull and Polaris / Luna saucers. 1 2 and Polars hull w/ Luna saucer
  • Comet hull: Windows obscuring hull texture details
  • Luna, Sol, and Comet pylons to not touch the Polaris hull
  
  
• Assault Cruiser:
  

  Imperial class:

  • NecroWulf drops it like it's hot

  
  Noble class:

  • Saucer, Starboard side - Staying on this side and moving to the front, there is a visible texture error with the ship name and registry number. The raised section on which it's applied causes it to partly snap off. It looks fine on the port side though. Noble Registry - Name
  • Both Noble and Majestic missing shuttle bays. They should have at least one, possibly two, like the Sovereign.

  Canon Inconsistencies:

  Sovereign class:
  Sovereign reference shots from Doug Drexler's blog site. Thanks, Valiant797!
  Sovereign reference shots contributed by Alexraptor
  Super size reference shots contributed by Amosov
  Studio model shots

  • Impulse glows clipping through the saucer.
  • UV mapping needs to be fixed on saucer (texture and window warping / deformities)
  • Phaser / Window overlap and anomalies
  • Dorsal name & registry should be closer to the bridge superstructure and separated by the innermost ring of windows
  • Ventral saucer windowing is asymmetrical: Port Starboard
  • Floating windows 1 2
  • Main Deflector is too large.
  • Neck piece should not slope and stick up so much.
  • Saucer is a little too long and narrow.
  • Missing Phaser strips on nacelle pylons
  • No Starfleet decals along hull
  • Colour scheme from films missing
  • Quantum turret too small
  • Missing escape pods and windows 1 2 3 4

• Fleet Escort:
  
  • Dervish Saucer: Flickering lights on underside.
  • When using the maelstrom hull, the fleet escorts' nacelles clip with the saucers in most configurations, especially when using the Gryphon pylons
  • Deflector texture not large enough, gaps showing around the sides.
  • Maelstrom: All escape pods on the upper rear section of the ship are completely blocked, by either the nacelles, and the centre pylon
  • Hermes:
    • Obscured / Uneven nacelle registry 1 2
    • Floating nacelle registry

• Deep Space Science Vessel:
  
  • No window selection (fixed?)
  • Destiny Mission Pod shares texture with Deflector, looks bad with Material 2.
  • Nimbus pylon "fix" only works when combining the Nimbus pylons with the Nimbus nacelles. Any other combination looks awful. Suggest that the "fix" be applied to the hull, not the pylons or nacelles. This would allow the mixing and matching of multiple variations whilst retaining the vertical orientation of the nacelles and doing away with the sagging nacelle look.
  • Oracle class nacelles have offset blue contrails from the glowing blue strips that wrap around them
  • Trident "saucer" windows obscured by destiny hull strips. All "hulls" have crazy looking conning superstructure window textures when using Type 2 windows

• Star Cruiser:
  
  • Nomad dorsal bow name / registry floating significantly high above the hull.
  • Hull/Saucer joints are jaggy
  • Forward impulse exhausts leave no trail
  • Avenger Saucer(Hull): Ship number/registry twisting and obscured by parts
  • Avenger Saucer+Other Hull: Name / Registry obscured
  • Nacelles: Using an ATI Radeon 3200 HD with "recommended" level graphics settings (one less than maximum), and with a GTX 480 with the latest driivers the nomad class nacelles (shown here) spin to face odd angles and the blue glow turns red.
  • Bussard collectors still look pointy and angular.
  
  
• Cruiser Refit:
  • Switching between Galaxy and Celestial necks shows that one or both of the saucers is off centre (Animated gif)
  • Saucer transforms into a standard Galaxy saucer with type 1 windows and no pattern for re-docking
  • Underside clipping and miscoloured aft starboard nav lights
  
  
• Dreadnought:
  
  • Centre nacelle has a partially obscured starboard nav light at the aft
  • Centre nacelle is simply a copy of the starboard nacelle: It duplicates its patterns which makes it feel asymmetrical / lopsided
  • Centre nacelle does not glow for transwarp
  • Geo error on pylons
  • Spinal cannon obscures registry and windows
  • Rear ventral windows warped
  • Crazy bridge glows

• Nebula & Excelsior:
  
  • Excelsior Studio Model
    • Nacelles should not have windows
    • Non-refit bowshould be windowless
    • Aft windows do not line up with side windows.
    • Name obscured by hull artwork
    • Missing stripe, missing illumination from ventral cargo bay, window errors
    
    
  • Nebula Studio Model Gallery Additional pics: 1 2 3 4 5 6 CGI Gallery (requests exist to use the physical model instead of the CG.)
    • Bussard glow off-centre
    • Magellan Mission pod has port nav light (red) instead of starboard (green).
    • Nebula starboard nacelle's nav light should be green
    • Nebula centre pylon offset to the right.

• Sovereign Captain's Yacht / Quantum Torpedo Turret:
  • IT'S ENORMOUS! (Playability means nothing when it destroys immersion. You may as well have made it a centaur class or a wireframe model.)
  
  
• Delta Flyer:
  • It's enormous, too.
  • Nacelles not extending / retracting during warp out / in
  
  
• Class F
  • Also enormous
  • Shuttle name should be written in cursive/script at a jaunty angle at the bow
  • Shuttle pet has the Galileo 2's designation but is missing the Galileo 2 name on the bow
  • While the gunwales do remain level from bow to stern, the hull between them should slope down from fore to aft, represented by the dotted line in the side view in this picture.

• Most Canon Klingon ship designs in STO appear to be scaled 'against' Federation ships, and as such aren't even close to Canon scale.
• Most canonical Klingon ships have bright fore and aft facing spotlights that are missing in STO.
• Where Is the K'Vort cruiser?
• Several ships have nacelles / wing tips that hang outside of the slipstream tunnel
• Suggest renaming "Saucer" with "Command Module" "Bridge Module" or simply "Head" inside of ship customisation screen.
  
  
  Tier 0:
  
  
  D12 / B'rel BoP: (Studio model reference) 1 2
  
  Canon Inconsistencies:
  This is one of the most iconic Klingon ships, full stop, yet it has an egregious lack of detail. This is not only sad, but absolutely shameful on Cryptic's part. As seen throughout the series and films, the classic Bird of Prey ranges from 51 metre scouts to 600+ metre cruisers and is the work horse of the Empire. This style should absolutely have its detail increased; the level of detail should, at the very least, match the Season 2 detail updates on the Galaxy, Intrepid, Comet, and Nomad. Not only should the texture and model be fixed and fixed well, there should be a classic Bird of Prey in every tier.
  • Canon BOP has no wing engines. All engines should be housed in the central yellow / red cluster.
  • Dorsal feather pattern should match the primary colour of the hull
  • Suggest a pattern be created that separates the feather patterns from the rest of the hull (colour / pattern wise) so they remain distinct.
  • Serious and shameful lack of detail on the warp engines.
  • Too many windows
  • Missing forward facing spotlights at the base of the wings
  
  
  
  Tier 1:
  
  
• Quldun BoP:
  

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  This ship uses the Enterprise series warship design that, for all intents and purposes, is older than the D12 Bird of Prey seen in Star Trek II - IV (Retired because they were likely to be as dangerous to their own crew as their enemies). It seems unlikely that it would be superior to the D12 / B'rel styled Tier 0 Bird of Prey.

• K'Tanco class battlecruiser:
  

  Multiple engine exhausts: 2 on the wings, and 4 on the main hull. The two on the wings do not leave contrails and the two in the centre of the hull are over-under but the exhaust contrails are side by side.

• Somraw Class Raptor
  

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  Impulse exhausts should be Indigo / Violet

  
  
  Tier 2:
  
  
• Norghi BoP:
  

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  This is an ENT series-based model, a design older than the retired D12 Bird of Prey mentioned previously, sharing much of the design philosophy of the Tier 1. It could at least be more 'TMP/TNG' like the B'Rel / K'vort.

• K't'inga Class:

  Model reference shots. 1 2
  
  Canon Inconsistencies:

  • Psi'a Meese points out some interesting on screen differences. Perhaps they should be integrated into ship costumes.
  • Forward torpedo tube texture is broken, rectangular, and should glow more
  • Aft section is entirely the wrong shape.
  • Impulse engines are the wrong shape and location: current STO (D7), Canon K't'inga.
  • Due to above, The aft torpedo tube is missing. Rear facing spotlights on fantail and bridge section missing.
  • Reactor buldge on the belly is missing (k't'inga feature, not present in D7)
  • Head is that of a D7: no bow flattening, bridge tower is level with bridge dome like a D7, should be taller.
  • The dome shaped neck bubble immediately behind the head where the officer's mess/lounge is located is missing.
  • Only two window rows in STO model, as per D7, Canon K't'inga has 4 on head, 2 on brim, 2 on head itself.
  • Ventral weapon pimple and beam bars float below the belly
  • Update K't'inga with Kronos One style model with actual raised armour plating
  • Struts need outer vent details, which should be maintained regardless of hull pattern.
  • Move fleet emblem from the top engineering hull to the struts forward these vents. Per the movie model.

  D7 Template

  • Impulse engine placement needs polish per remastered TOS, or removed entirely as the original TOS never displayed any at all.
  • Struts need outer exhaust vents.
  • Fleet Logo should be moved from the center portion of the engineering hull to the outer portion.
  • Add aft torpedo tube to mirror the one from the bow to make the in-game model more complete if the slot exists for it.

• Canon Inconsistencies:
  Huge side by side studio model / in game model comparison. (Note that in several places, multiple rows of windows have been replaced with a single row, making the ship appear much smaller.)

  • Missing logo on base of wings
  • Missing rack-style texture on the square (red) plasma vents on nacelles
  • Angle of logo on the top of wings is facing the wrong direction - it should be facing the same direction as the nacelles, not facing away from the nacelles
  • The shape of the wings are wrong - they are too straight at the back and curve at too shallow of an angle at the front - the wings should also place the nacelles far more lower compared to the hull

  
  Tor'Kaht costume issues:

  • Mission pod detached from hull
  • Window errors

• Ki'Tang BoP:

  Canon Inconsistencies:
  This is an ENT series-based model (making it older than the retired D12 Bird of Prey seen in ST II - IV), sharing much of the design philosophy of the Tier 1. It could at least be more 'TMP/TNG' like the B'Rel / K'vort.
  Why is this ship not the K'Vort, a well known heavy attack ship used in the series in roles that, within the STO tier structure, would span nearly every tier?

  Tier 4/5:
  
  
• Hegh'Ta BoP:
  

  This ship has several pairs of cannon hardpoints: Wing-tip cannons, mid-wing cannons, mid-line cannons and on the bow.
  
  Out of those 8 weapon hardpoints only the wing-tip cannons do anything.
  
  Using various weapons combos:

  • 3 DHCs and 1 torp forward: all 3 cannons fire from the wing-tips.
  • 2 DHCs, 1 torp and 1 DBB: Both cannons and the DBB fired from the wing-tips.
  • 2 DHCs, 1 torp and 1 DBA: Both cannons fire from the wing-tips. The beam array fires from various points, none of them cannon barrels.
  • When activating Cannon Rapid Fire, the mid-wing cannons receive activation FX but never fire.

  
  This affects all similarly designed Birds of Prey.
  

• There are 4 engines but only the pods on struts up above the main hull leave trails
• Windows on command module side extend into what looks like a door or an armour plate, with one window placed directly on the "seam"
• Wing-mounted cannons still have torpedo launcher graphics attached to them. This has been partly dealt with by "hiding" the upper side of the swivels behind an additional model element, but the lower sides still have this issue. Additionally, this texture is also present on the cannons' barrels. Would it be possible to just exchange it with the alternative skin version of the launcher texture (i.e. yellow torpedo launcher = red cannon barrels; red torpedo launcher = yellow barrels)?
  
  
  Canon Inconsistencies:
  • This is an ENT series-based model (once again, older than the retired D12 Bird of Prey seen in ST II - IV), sharing much of the design philosophy of the Tier1. It could at least be more 'TMP/TNG' like the B'Rel / K'vort.
    Why is this ship not the K'Vort, a well known heavy attack ship used in the series in roles that, within the STO tier structure, would span nearly every tier?
  • Starfleet style escape pods line the keel. Not exactly Klingon, and never seen in any of the series. (Error also exists on Haj BoP.) (Note circled clipping issues)
  
  
  
• D12 / B'rel BoP: (Studio model reference) 1 2
  
• missing phaser strip on starboard aft ventral wing. (There is a phaser strip on port aft ventral wing)

• Negh'Var Battlecruiser:

  Reference pictures:
  (Requests exist to use the DS9 model as it is the Prime time-line as opposed to the alternate "All good things" anti-time variant)

  • Side by side reference pics (Hi res) from the DS9 model.
  • Ventral and torpedo pod detail shots from DS9 model. ("Head" ventral pod removed for storage. Detail
  • DS9 / Endgame model shots from Christies: 1 2
  • Side by side reference pics from "All Good Things"
  • Ventral weapon nacelles from "Endgame" / DS9
  • Sternbach's concept art for anti-time future "All Good Things" with part identification

  • Oddly textured forward torpedo launcher on the variant when using type 2 hull material.
  
  Canon Inconsistencies:
  
  
• Starfleet style escape pods line the keel. Not exactly Klingon, and never seen in any of the series.
• Missing weapon nacelles on the keel
• Hull is not "chunky" enough - the entire vessel should be a LOT taller overall, giving it a far greater height
• Curve of the wings is wrong, it should be straighter on the front
• Wings need to be about twice as thick
• The vertical curve of the wing should be a little less steep
• There are three indented squarish-sections missing on the front of the wings - The concept art lists them as impulse intakes
• The bulge on the underneath of the head section should be thicker and more rounded
• There is an additional box missing from the bulge on the underneath of the head
• There is a fore-firing torpedo launcher at the front of each missing weapon nacelle (they look like giant BoP torpedo launchers) - the weapon mount point for the existing forward torpedo launcher should be moved, and should be replaced by one on each of the new weapon nacelles - the actual pike currently being used as the torpedo launcher is either the main disruptor or a docking probe
• The triangular mission pod at the top-rear of the ship needs to be about twice is big

• Vo'Quv
  • Scanning graphic comes from centre of model instead of any place sensible.

• Orion Marauder
  • Windows clipping on port side (Starboard, for comparison)

Canon Inconsistencies:
Massively underscaled. It is supposed to be (at least) one KILOMETER long, larger than even a Galaxy Class. (available data varies from 1.042km to 1.353km)

Canon Inconsistencies:

• It's name: It's most commonly known as the Valdore-Type, or the Norexan-Class (from the TCG. Mogai is fom the Titan novels released after the TCG and is less well known)
• Possible Scaling issue. (not confirmed) - According to the film's ship scale sheet, it should be 604 metres in length
• Weapon nacelles on the tip of the wings in game are to small and they are not used. Weapons fire in game comes from the tip of the warp nacelles.
• The ventral support structure is all straight lines in game, not curved like its supposed to be.
• The nose section in game is all wrong, not angular and sharp and indented, but roundish and the lower part is bulging outwards

Canon Inconsistencies:
Model used is that of the Romulan warship seen in Enterprise which may not fit all that well in STO. (Though the new OP quite likes it. :3 )

Canon Inconsistencies:
Aft Impulse engines missing.

Canon inconsistencies:
STO model has much rougher design, as opposed to TOS (remastered).
