I really dislike the art style, from everything I have seen so far. As a matter of fact, it just sort of looks like the same exact style and character models as Champions, but with a Trek layer added to them. The ship models look good, albeit a little cartoony. As for space, it is WAY to busy - it just doesn't look like space at all. IMO, of course.

Granted, these are the choices they have made, and I realize you can't please everyone. But at least in my case, I won't be playing STO, based on what I have seen thus far - and it disappoints me to no end to say that, being a lifelong Trek fan. Yes, the art style and character models make THAT much of an impact on whether I enjoy a game. Shallow, maybe, but I just can't get into a game I hate to look at.
