    Wow, the suits and that ship design are both amazing! Can't wait to see how they function in the game.

    Looks pretty neat, can't wait to see them in the game.

    But do we have to shoot them? That Tholian looks kinda cute in his encounter suit. Can I keep him? I would love him and pet him and name him George. He and my Breen could swap suit stories and everything. It would be great.

    That might be the 25th Century version of the Odd Couple.

    Its a sign that I need to get out more when I saw the opening title sequence in my head when I read this.

    And this exchange.

    "Why do you always turn up the heat?"

    "Becuase my homeworld is molten. Yours doesn't even have ice on it half the local year, why do you always want it so cold?"

    I fully expect a Baby Tholian pet in the Lobi store in the next few weeks.

    Shut up and take my Lobi !

    Nice looking ships, and fighting a truly alien looking species on the ground will be great too. Can't wait.

    Thanks Cryptic for introducing the Kelvin Timeline. It remembered why I decided to never more put any money on this game.
