Thanks for the link.

Pretty much what I expected.

Now, what I really want to see is some "goings on" at that bar. I'm sure that I'll try to make some of that myself.

Too bad that they can't  put Quark there. That alone should drum up something!

Bar activities, maybe with some mini-games (Strategema, Tri-Dimensional Chess, Kadis-Kot, Tongo would be cool), holodeck stuff - lots of possibilities.

Other than that, the spacedock appears to have just what you'd expect.

 i agree, 3d chess was the pwn, its 3 regular chess boards with a couple pieces that can go up and down between the 3!

Star Trek tridimensional chess included two four-square platforms for each side that were also movable, adding even more challenge.

Not bad for a start, but they need to beef up on that. Right now it sounds like a place to just make a quick stop for accessories and that's it. Not that it matters much to me, but for people that are looking forward to hanging out at a Ten Forward or Quark's Bar type atmosphere this will be lacking for them.

I agree.  There are a lot of things they can and should do with it to make it more of an enjoyable player hub.
