"Commodore Tenjou, Gameified"
 
   So, around the beginning of the year I messed around in the beta for Star Trek Online for a week or so. It was fun enough so I decided to give it a proper whirl after uni was done. Cut to six months later and a whirl was given - thankfully, while the game was on sale.

The short review is: don't play Star Trek Online. It'd be way better as an offline TIE Fighter-esque capship sim. But that's neither here nor there.

The game has two really strong features. One is the space combat, which is cool as heck, and the other is Cryptic's patented Awesome Character Generator.

It might just have been me but I had trouble initially picturing Utena's IPSF dress uniform in Fanfare for an Exiled Prince when I first read it. STO coupled with the Wrath of Khan uniform code makes it a lot easier to wrap your head around. There are a couple of subtle differences - I wasn't able to unlock a Star of Avalon badge and the engine doesn't render petticoats very well - but as a mental reference note it works for me.

Enjoy!

   Should she really just be standing there doing nothing while the Borg are attacking?

<grin>

Seriously, that looks great. Any chance of a closer zoom in on her, in better lighting?

Alrighty Bob, you asked for it.

Here are some from the game's intro mission in which several Borg were smashed, the game's central hub and DS9 because DS9 is awesome.

Justification:

The Borg aren't attacking, she's giving a talk about a Borg attack and that's footage from the battle.

Clarification:

Tongue-in-cheek comment.

I figured she'd already done something, turned away from the console, and this was the brief dramatic pause before the cube Explodes Into Pieces behind her. :)

   Another possibility:

She orders a comm channel opened to the Borg cube,

"We are Borg, resistance is futile."

then she simply says,

"Hello, I'm Utena Tenjou, basically run!"
