I'll give you original Star Trek fans a moment for the mist to clear from your eyes, for your hearts to slink back down your throats... All better? Good, because the <a href="http://startrekonline.com/ships/excalibur">newly revealed Excalibur class for <em>Star Trek Online</em></a> is quite striking. Interestingly the team at Cryptic is using a more angular design for their re-imagined Constitution class, as opposed to the recent Star Trek movie, which employs a sleek and streamlined design philosophy.<br /><br />Both designs are pretty attractive, but we're sure plenty of people will prefer one over the other. Either way, we're really digging the look of the Excalibur class vessel. It makes us wonder what other <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/20/romulan-ships-in-the-latest-star-trek-online-screens/">old designs will feature newer updated versions</a> as well, such as the Klingon Empire's Bird of Prey.<br /><br />Having both the original and updated appearances of ships would be the wisest choice, of course. Although we're not entirely certain many players would want to enter a fight with the original Constitution class version of this design, as that one's a bit... outdated.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/31/star-trek-onlines-iconic-excalibur-class-vessel/">Star Trek Online's iconic Excalibur class vessel</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 31 May 2009 17:30:00 EST.
