Three new screens for Star Trek Online have surfaced and they look quite amazing, especially the dry dock shot above, which you can click on to see a bigger version. The first thing that jumped out at us when looking at these shots are that the graphics engine for the game has already come along a ways. We can't quite put our finger on it, but things are starting to look decidedly more Star Trek and less, well, Champions Online.
If it's one thing we've continually learned about MMOs in-development, it's that they always look better and better the closer to get to launch. And with Cryptic's track record on City of Heroes past visual updates, we're really looking forward to seeing how Star Trek Online turns out in another year-plus.

Are these all in game shots or are some of them target renders? A couple things that jump out at me are some pretty subtle lighting effects and the almost complete lack of aliasing. Looks stunning; I just hope this represents in game, in engine rendering.
