The irony of launching a spacecraft named "Integrity" in the year of our Lord 2026 is not lost on me, but space exploration has always been aspirational, I guess. Godspeed, Artemis!

A few more images to celebrate the most recent STO First Contact day tease. All taken in demo record using some new motion blue shaders and lighting tweaks. Proper fun to use taking screenshots. @thomasthecat.bsky.social

Audio clip you have to hear of @thomasthecat.bsky.social during the STO Mission Chicago con a few years back. 🐋🐳 #NeverForget #StarTrek #WhaleProbe www.youtube.com/watch?v=agmD...

The pride of the Andorian Imperial Guard in the mid-22nd century, that Kumari was a 'hit and run battlecruiser'. Three ships of the class were donated to the United Earth Space Probe Agency during their war with the Romulans, despite Andoria remaining neutral. #StarTrekOnline #VirtualPhotography

Scorp done such an amazing job with this design. I originally was looking forward to the Suurock before I saw this beuty and now made it my main 2411 ship. @thomasthecat.bsky.social now that you can pull some strings, how about an Art of STO book? ;)

Love this ship! #StarTrekOnline @thomasthecat.bsky.social @pundus.art @scorpiondesign.bsky.social @flothesnitchy.bsky.social

Hello all. Its been a long road. lol. Working on updating my Reshade Cinematic FX for STO to add some new effects which look pretty cool when viewing cut scenes in @trekonlinegame.bsky.social . Here are a few images of the new my NX Picard/2011 variant with the pre set. @thomasthecat.bsky.social

Shoutout to that time I came up with my own classifications to a bunch of NX era ships

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

By now, I’m assuming that the Battletech people here have heard about the new core box coming out in August? Whoever it was that painted the Mad Cat Mk.II and the new Rakshasa (yeah, it doesn’t look derpy anymore!) knocked the out of park! I’ve never wanted two minis more than these two!

So, this showed up today. What's it all about? Check the included link! Hitting bookstore shelves and e-devices April 28th! #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard daytonward.wordpress.com/2025/10/09/c...

Oh the TERFs show is coming out on Christmas? I might just have to watch the Sense8: A Christmas Special instead, something queer and beautiful to offset the bullshit.

I had already owned the T5 Andorian ships and one of the T6 versions, and now I have the new Andorian Kumari Battlecruiser :D Shoutout to @thomasthecat.bsky.social and the rest of the STO team for getting her in the game! One could say it's been a long road getting from there to here. 😎

The amazingly beautiful Sonak-class starship from #StarTrekOnline. Would very much like to see this in a future production of #StarTrek! @thomasthecat.bsky.social @flothesnitchy.bsky.social @mikeokuda.bsky.social

The long-running 'Trek' MMO is celebrating multiple anniversaries in style, with a documentary tribute to the early days of interstellar exploration.

On her birthday, we remember the magnificent D.C. Fontana, who wrote for The Original Series, The Animated Series, Next Gen, and Deep Space Nine. She wrote classics like "Journey to Babel" and "This Side of Paradise" and introduced Gene Roddenberry to legendary costumer William Ware Theiss.

Major props to @startrekonline.bsky.social for the way they announced/promoted the 16th Anniversary Bundle! Absolutely loved this new style, super immersive and documentary-like, great vibes all across.👏 Hope we see more of this in the future! Everyone should check it out⬇

#StarTrekOnline honestly needs more credit for what it has given to the fandom than it gets IMO ! Come on, this is awesome ! 🙌 Even if you don’t play the game but like #StarTrek you’ll love this ✨ No idea what I’m talking about?! Watch the new trailer here !🖖🥰👇 youtu.be/BVaHER_PCkc?...

As someone who mainly flies small to mid sized ships, I’m really enjoying the Ortiz at the moment. It feels like someone made a Defiant class successor out of a Sovereign, which doesn’t sound like it would work but it does.

@thomasthecat.bsky.social Me, after seeing the docu-trailer:

More from me (with continued thanks to @thomasthecat.bsky.social for his time!)! 🖖

Going live NOW at www.twitch.tv/crypticstudios to talk about the 16th Anniversary Enterprise Starship Bundle in Star Trek Online! Today we'll talk about the documentary a bit before I hand it over to @borticuscryptic.bsky.social to talk about the stats of these ships!

What am I thinking about? Oh nothing, just a FOURTEEN MINUTE KEN BURNS-STYLE STAR TREK DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SPACESHIPS, FEATURING ALIZA PEARL AS AN IN-WORLD CHARACTER, BY THE BRILLIANT MINDS AT STAR TREK ONLINE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVaH...

Today, the 16th Anniversary Enterprise Starship Bundle goes live in Star Trek Online. To celebrate 60 years of Trek & 25 of ENTERPRISE, we've made a 15 minute IN-UNIVERSE documentary that covers these ships and their contributions to Star Trek history. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVaH...

This is the most @thomasthecat.bsky.social coded thing I've ever seen. Reaction video for the 16th anniversary trailer/mocumentary out soon hopefully youtu.be/BVaHER_PCkc?...

Now live! I got the opportunity to sit down with @thomasthecat.bsky.social @pundus.art and @scorpiondesign.bsky.social to talk about the starships in the new #StarTrekOnline 16th Anniversary Bundle! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_lc...

For All Mankind is back in three days on AppleTV, and you can stay up to date on the news. Did you know the iconic Pathfinder (OV-201) second generation space shuttle from Season 2 was retired in alt-2010, after 27 years of service?

While we've got an exciting day for Star Trek Online tomorrow, I do want to mourn the cancellation of Starfleet Academy. It was a joyful show that emphasized the power of empathy, friendship, and curiosity in the best tradition of Star Trek. Thank you and good luck to the crew of the U.S.S. Athena.

I’ve got faith (of the heart) in what the team at STO has prepared for you all! 💫

Big day tomorrow, have a starship. Render by @pundus.art

Going live now!!!

"There were so many different versions of Rocky where you would say, “Well, that looks good two-dimensional but now let’s build something to see how it looks three-dimensional. And now, let’s get a puppeteer.” It wasn’t until we found James Ortiz, our puppeteer, who really could bring life to it."

Glad to say my piece on the ships is way more detailled than this artbook. 🤗

In the eight years I've been running this account, I've constantly heard people say, “I'm sick of spin-offs, reboots, remakes, and sequels—I want original, good sci-fi.” Well, here it is: Project Hail Mary. If this movie isn't a hit, I'm going to sulk. ☝️

If I had seen PROJECT HAIL MARY when I was 10-12, it would have been my whole life. Should inspire kids of all ages to learn science and math. But more importantly, it will show them that friendship and empathy are Great Things, and without them we would die alone and adrift. It’s a beautiful film.

PROJECT HAIL MARY: Cried at least five times. One of the best science fiction films I’ve seen in a long time. I will cherish this one for the rest of my life. Goes on the shelf right next to E.T. Ryan Gosling should be nominated; he carries the movie. I will die for Rocky.

Brought out my Eleos Intel Scout Vessel in #StarTrekOnline to give me some NV-Intrepid vibes until the actual thing releases next tuesday. #VirtualPhotography
