Hey guys just wanted to ask if its possible that in the future they will make the alternate version of the Enterprise the one from JJ Abrams one.
If they do put that one I would certainly buy it:D

Plus I don't want that joke of a ship anywhere near the last true trek environment
Are you saying the movies aren't canon?
the JJ ones aren't
Yes they are. They don't take place in the same timeline as TNG took place in. But they're definitely canon. Here's some added research for you.
They Are Not!
I'm sorry did you just say that......In a a game where Federation players are flying around in Cardassian, Ferengi, hell, even Dominion ships, grinding for bits of Dilithium, while min/maxing bug ships for PvP and the endless grinding for stuff. Keys, Lobi Crystals, and store after store of TRIBBLE, with only the new content of any worth being locked behind a luck based pay wall called a Lockbox.
Sorry, this place stopped being Trek a LONG time ago.

(I think, its been a while since I had read up on the whole CBS/Paramount BS).
I don't think you understand what canon means.
I think we are far from cannon when Federation are flying Dominion ships
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.
^ so very much this.
1) It's ugly.
2) It belongs in a different universe.
3) It's ugly.
#1 and 3 are my personal opinion, of course.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

So's the Fek'hiri Carrier.
So does the Galaxy X.
So's the Nomad skin. Actually all of the star cruiser skins are like flying spoons from planet to planet. Completely ugly and annoying to look at.
That one's supposed to be ugly. It's from the underworld, remember?
Who's to say the same person who designed it in that timeline didn't design it in ours?
I kind of like the Emissary, but to each his own.

To everyone who hates the new Enterprise, do you like the movies but dislike the design? Do you hate the design and the movies? Or do you hate the design because of how much you dislike the movies?
I feel like the same sort of people who dislike the new movies would dislike STO, and yet the forums are full of people hissing and spitting at anything from the new Trek films like a vampire in sunlight. They both have the same types of criticism leveled against them (emphasis on violence and action over story, a low-ranking officer immediately promoted to captain of a starship), and yet lots of people sit around STO as the last bastion of old Trek.
The only difference between JJ Abrams's Star Trek and STO is a lot of lens flares, and the new Enterprise is a fine design. Not perfect, but it looks great on film and in motion.
DO IT, CRYPTIC!! DO IT!!!

Star Trek fans have mixed reactions to the film, for a multitude of reasons, some logical... some not nearly so. Best left at that, but I will tell that those who have a corrosive illogical hatred for this movie (for whatever reason) will always find reasons to dislike everything about it, including the ship.
And some are in denial that it's nothing like what they want... okay, really done now.
I wouldn't mind having the JJprise in-game, personally. If we have the Galaxy-X, which is also from an alternate timeline, why not that one? Plus the JJ movies, like it or not, are canon so they can used with permission... if they ever sort out who'd Cryptic have to talk to for the rights XD
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
THEY ARE NOT CANNON. Why it was a good movie, it wasn't a TREK Movie. and First off the JJprise is to TMPish for the time.
And about it not being a Trek movie, first off... it's not in the Prime Universe, so they don't follow the same rules that the original did. So of course it'd be different than a film set in the Prime Universe.
Long story short, it IS a Trek film, but simply a different kind of Trek film.
And lastly, it's canon, not cannon :P

Its 2013, people like CGI and realism in films. And with the JJ Trek being set in an alternate timeline, they can do whatever than want. I am almost willing to bet if a Star Trek EXACTLY like the old one was released, full of all the slow space combat scenes and quietness, no one would like it. Now i'm not saying the older Treks are bad, but things have to change after awhile, they need to update and improve.
Now I would DEFINITELY like a Tier 5 JJ Enterprise given to us. I would buy that in a heart beat and laugh at all the people raging over it. The argument of realism and STO is so sad, its not even funny. When we have people in Alien ships and a war against the Borg that has made 0 progress, the last thing I would be complaining about is allowing the JJ Enterprise or old Connie in the game.
Many believe that a Star Trek film should be set according to the Prime Universe's rules: peace, fighting-only-when-necessary, and otherwise be a thought-provoking type of thing. This is despite the fact that JJ's Trek takes place in an alternate reality, and therefore, it is not contractually bound to follow those rules.
People have issues with that, in many different forms, quite simply I think.

the guy him self said he dosnt like star trek but like star wars and wants to make it more star wars like. i despise jj dumbing down trek turning it into another pew pew lense flare peice of TRIBBLE.
the sooner he moves on to some thing else the better star trek will be. he should stick to bad tv shows or star wars
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
And second, Star Trek is still around, virtually untouched except for Spock and Nero 'disappearing', along with the destruction of Romulus. But still, pretty much everything we've seen in TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT happened.
JJ Trek continues in it's timeline, alongside the Prime Universe, but unaffected by each other otherwise. So I highly doubt he 'contaminated' anything: he simply made a new, independent version imo.

I can see how what you guys mean. If you compare it to the Godzilla films, all of them were fairly similar until the 98' American Godzilla that we all hated. Thankfully that didn't turn into a new movie saga.
Or the Bayformers, that would be another example. However, the extreme amount of hatred is almost uncalled for. Abrams didn't destroy Star Trek, far from that, he made it better for the current generation and era. Yes it is more similar to Star Wars, but people like action and explosions. Sadly the cries against the JJ Trek isn't loud enough to stop it and probably wont ever be. Same with Transformers.
Godzilla on the other hand... Everyone hated that 98 remake besides the few Americans who had never seen the older ones before. And thankfully more Godzilla movies have been confirmed for 2014 and he'll actually look similar to the older version but more updated.
Basically what i'm saying is that the ratio of People who hate JJ Trek to People who like it is a very unbalanced scale.
