For those who don’t know: the Roddenberry Archive aims to preserve Star Trek by digitizing … well, a lot of things. Currently you can already freeroam certain locations. Probably only works on Desktop PCs though.
Not only did they release their short film “Unification” today, commemorating 30 years of Star Trek Generations, (more details here) but they also added a bunch of new stuff to the Archive.
Here’s a list of changes that I found so far:
- new locations added:
- bridge of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Star Trek: Generations (with fantastic lighting!) You can also go the the observation lounge and to Picard’s ready room.
- sickbay and holodeck of the Enterprise-D (you can even lay down on a biobed! and activate a holodeck program by pressing “F” while looking at the display on the right side of the arch)
- bridge of the USS Franklin NX-326
- bridge of Kruge’s Bird of Prey. There’s also an adjacent (torpedo?) room that you can reach by leaving the bridge through the door at the back.
- bridge of Klaa’s Bird of Prey
- bridge of Gowron’s IKS Bortas
- bridge of the Romulan Warbird Khazara. There’s also a briefing room that you can reach by leaving the bridge to the starboard side.
- other changes:
- ships that don’t have 3D locations yet are not represented by a static image of the starship anymore but it’s a 3D model of the ship
- new ships/stations added: Station K-7, Klingon D7 Class Cruiser
- make sure to check out the new “Explore” tab in the top right corner. Information and pictures of shuttles, props and planets have been added.
I’ll update this post when I find more.
Very cool!
