The Aurora and Quasar variants of the Science Vessel family have been totally remastered!

These are original, alternate skins for the Nova class - it's always interesting when they go back to touch up the really old stuff that nobody really uses any more.

Wow! That's a lot of added detail!

As you said though, it's interesting they go back to old stuff that isn't really used anymore. Then again, it is Cryptic, so decision-making can be perplexing; and, of course, we must always be wary of -- "TIMELINE CHANGE IMMINENT!"

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be clear, those are both the old skins of the Aurora and Quasar, respectively - I have no idea what the new versions look like.

Oh! I misunderstood. I thought the top image was "before" and the bottom "after". Now I'm curious what the new skins look like.

I know they released them for some dev/studio "birthday", but I'm still surprised by the choice of ship(s). All that is old is new again!

They've now released a dev blog about these new ships, so I pasted some comparisons into that thread.
