Yep. It's electroluminescent (EL) wire. 
I'll be happy to send directions and art to anyone else wanting to make one,
I think it took me under eight hours of work, at least 2.5 of which was
realizing that openoffice sucks, so I could do another in maybe 4 hours tops. 

It does also have a different design on the back side (badge shape
surrounding a printed logo). Supply cost was: $6 t-shirt, $3.50 brass
wire, $10 iron-on transfer paper, plus some tape, safety pins, and a
dab or two of solder. I borrowed the EL wire and transformers from
friends, probably would have cost $15-$25.

star trek online?

Anyone playing star trek online?  It has the closest thing to 3D trek
that I've seen.

Begs for a mod on an existing engine to copy what they have, but add
netrek features such as planet taking.

Good stuff.

EUTH!

Re: star trek online?

I know you purist's probably wont like it, but Star Trek On-line is 
pretty good once you get into it a bit,
the Star ship battle's between Fed and Klingon are pretty good, players 
can now play both sides so
you are not just fighting bots.  I have to admit this is the first Trek 
game in 10 years that does not suck.
(and this is about as 3-D as your gonna get without Glasses, you need 
some horsepower to play to full effect)

OT discussions was Re: star trek online?

And y'all wonder why it's so hard to get people into Netrek?  Ignoring 
the problems with the game itself, the community is so incredibly 
stuffy.  Imagine a new player seeing this.  No off-topic discussions? 
People can't have friendly chit-chat?  Oh hey, look, I'll go play 
another game where people are friendly, and one that's less esoteric and 
more easily playable to boot.

Seriously, guys, you're trying to promote a computer game that combines 
the difficulty of chess, the twitch reflexes and hotkeying of Starcraft, 
and the team tactics (and necessary team practice) of soccer, while 
saddled with the graphics of nethack and and a text-only communication 
system.  Adding a closed, change-resistant community is *not* helping 
your cause.

Re: OT discussions was Re: star trek online?

Geeezzz I seem to have warned you guys about this a few months ago... I 
can see it has not gotten any better...
You are never going to get more people to play this way...
This sort of proves I am not the only one who feels this way about how 
new people get treated.
